Image rebuild (skip scrape) / build (push) Failing after 1h37m12s
Dockerfile: self-contained image with corpus + Chroma + BM25 baked in. Drawbar's compose pulls + runs without volume mounts. Built from sources.json (labels schema), PRODUCT_NAME=crop_chem by default, HYBRID_SEARCH=true (always-on for production quality). RERANK_URL + OLLAMA_URL get set at compose time. .gitea/workflows/refresh.yml: monthly cron (1st @ 06:00 UTC) does full scrape → reindex → image push. Scrapes Bayer (~30 min) + EPA PPLS row-crop filtered (~7h). Skips reindex+push if no corpus diff. Tags pushed: :latest, :<sha12>, :corpus-<YYYY.MM.DD>. .gitea/workflows/image-only.yml: on-demand or auto on code-only pushes to main (paths: docs_mcp/, rag/, scrape/, requirements.txt, Dockerfile, sources.json). Reindexes from committed corpus, builds image, pushes. ~10 min vs ~9h full refresh. .gitignore: corpus/ now COMMITTED (4,159 labels, 265 MB of .md + sidecars). Lets image-only.yml rebuild indexes without re-scraping. chroma/ + bm25/ still gitignored (regenerable binary indexes). .dockerignore: drops venv, eval results, PLAN/README/CLAUDE.md, deploy/, .git/ — keeps the image lean. corpus + chroma + bm25 explicitly NOT in dockerignore (those go INTO the image).

|
||||
|
||||
Should you wish to add/retain a reference to the company’s website on your label, then please be
|
||||
aware that the website becomes labeling under the Federal Insecticide Fungicide and Rodenticide
|
||||

Environmental Hazards
|
||||
This product is toxic to wildlife, freshwater and estuarine/marine fish and highly toxic to
|
||||
aquatic invertebrates. Runoff may be hazardous to aquatic organisms in neighboring
|
||||
areas. Exposed treated seed may be hazardous to wildlife. Do not contaminate water
|
||||
when disposing of equipment wash water.
|
||||
Thiamethoxam is highly toxic to bees exposed to direct treatment, and effects may be
|
||||
possible as a result of exposure to translocated residues in blooming crops.
|
||||
Thiamethoxam has properties and characteristics associated with chemicals detected in
|
||||
ground water. This chemical may leach into the ground water if used in areas where
|
||||
soils are permeable, particularly where the water table is shallow.
|
||||
Mefenoxam is known to leach through soil into ground water under certain conditions as
|
||||
a result of agricultural use. Use of this chemical in areas where soils are permeable,
|
||||
particularly where the water table is shallow, may result in ground water contamination.
|
||||
Azoxystrobin in this product can be persistent for several months or longer.
|
||||
Azoxystrobin degradation products and thiamethoxam have properties and
|
||||
characteristics similar to chemicals which are known to leach through soil to
|
||||
groundwater under certain conditions as a result of agricultural use. Use of these
|
||||
chemicals in areas where soils are permeable, particularly where the water table is
|
||||
shallow, may result in ground water contamination.

|
||||
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS FOR USE AND PRECAUTIONS ON THIS
|
||||
LABEL MAY RESULT IN CROP INJURY, POOR INSECT AND/OR DISEASE
|
||||
CONTROL, AND/OR ILLEGAL RESIDUES.
|
||||
Treatment of highly mechanically scarred or damaged seed, or seed known to be of low
|
||||
vigor and poor quality may result in reduced germination and/or reduction of seed and
|
||||
seedling vigor. Treat a quantity of seed using equipment similar to that planned for
|
||||
treating the total seed lot. Prior to treatment, conduct germination tests on a portion of
|
||||
seed before committing the total seed lot to a selected seed treatment.
|
||||
Due to seed quality, crop or variety sensitivity, and seed storage conditions beyond the
|
||||
control of Syngenta, no claims are made to guarantee the germination of seed or
|
||||
propagating material for all crop seed when treated with Four-way VAP.
|
||||
USE INFORMATION
|
||||
Four-way VAP is a seed treatment product containing the active ingredients:
|
||||
thiamethoxam (insecticide) and azoxystrobin, fludioxonil and mefenoxam fungicides.
|
||||
Four-way VAP protects against damage from listed early season insects, soil-borne and
|
||||
seed-borne diseases of crop plants.
|
||||
Thiamethoxam is a systemic seed treatment insecticide belonging to the neonicotinoid
|
||||
class of chemistry. Thiamethoxam protects against listed chewing and sucking insects
|
||||
through contact and ingestion.
|
||||
Mefenoxam fungicide is active against Pythium, Phytophthora and systemic downy
|
||||
mildew.
|
||||
Fludioxonil fungicide is active against Fusarium, Rhizoctonia, and suppresses seed-
|
||||
borne Sclerotinia and Phomopsis species.
|
||||
Azoxystrobin is active against Rhizoctonia and some seed-borne diseases.
|
||||
MIXING PROCEDURES
|
||||
Important: Always re-circulate Four-way VAP thoroughly before using.
|
||||
Apply Four-way VAP as a water-based slurry utilizing standard slurry seed treatment
|
||||
equipment which provides uniform seed coverage. Uneven or incomplete seed
|
||||
coverage may not give the desired level of disease control. Thoroughly mix the
|
||||
specified amount of Four-way VAP into the required amount of water or liquid inoculant
|
||||
for the slurry treater and dilution rate to be used.
|
||||
Certain crops require addition of inoculants when the seed is treated or planted. Four-
|
||||
way VAP is compatible with several liquid inoculant products. Consult the maker of the
|
||||
|
||||
-8-
|
||||
inoculant product and a Syngenta Crop Protection representative for directions before
|
||||
applying Four-way VAP with inoculants.
|
||||
Under certain disease conditions, additional amounts of fungicides may be required.
|
||||
When needed, apply additional Apron XL® according to the CROP USE DIRECTIONS.
|
||||
Other tank mix partners may be used with Four-way VAP; however, the user must
|
||||
consider the use rate, formulation, seed and crop safety factors and compatibility of
|
||||
each product to be mixed when determining the total application volume.
|
||||
The total application volume must be sufficient to provide desired level of coverage.
|
||||
Dilution is typically done with water or liquid inoculants. The minimum slurry volume to
|
||||
achieve adequate coverage is 4.0 fluid ounces per 100 pounds of seed. More diluent
|
||||
may be required to obtain complete coverage.
|
||||
Continuous agitation or mixing of the slurry mixture is necessary to prevent settling out
|
||||
of the solution.
|
||||
Allow seed to dry before bagging.
|
||||
The typical density of Four-way VAP is 9.43 pounds per gallon. Consult the
|
||||
manufacturer of the application equipment you plan to use for suitability for this
|
||||
application and for instructions on operation and calibration of the equipment. Follow
|
||||
the manufacturer application instructions for the seed treatment equipment being used.
|
||||
Follow planter manufacturer specifications for use of talc or other hopper box additives
|
||||
at planting. Seed must be completely dry before adding to planter.
|
||||
Four-way VAP contains an EPA approved dye/colorant that imparts an unnatural color
|
||||
to the seed as stated in 40 CFR 153.155 (c).
|
||||

SEED BAG LABEL REQUIREMENTS
|
||||
Federal law requires that bags containing treated seeds shall be labeled with the
|
||||
following statements:
|
||||
x This seed has been treated with thiamethoxam insecticide and azoxystrobin,
|
||||
fludioxonil and mefenoxam fungicides.
|
||||
x Do not use for feed, food, or oil purposes.
|
||||
x User is responsible for ensuring that the seed bag meets all requirements under
|
||||
the Federal Seed Act.
|
||||
In addition, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency requires the following statements
|
||||
on bags containing seeds treated with Four-way VAP:
|
||||
x Ground Water Advisory:
|
||||
Thiamethoxam and fludioxonil have properties and characteristics associated
|
||||
with chemicals detected in ground water. These chemicals may leach into the
|
||||
ground water if used in areas where soils are permeable, particularly where the
|
||||
water table is shallow.
|
||||
Mefenoxam is known to leach through soil into ground water under certain
|
||||
conditions as a result of agricultural use. Use of this chemical in areas where
|
||||
soils are permeable, particularly where the water table is shallow, may result in
|
||||
ground water contamination.
|
||||
Azoxystrobin in this product can be persistent for several months or longer.
|
||||
Azoxystrobin has degradation products which have properties similar to
|
||||
chemicals which are known to leach through soil to groundwater under certain
|
||||
conditions as a result of agricultural use. Use of azoxystrobin in areas where
|
||||
soils are permeable, particularly where the water table is shallow, may result in
|
||||
groundwater contamination.
|
||||
x Pollinator Precautions: Thiamethoxam is highly toxic to bees, and effects are
|
||||
possible as a result of exposure to translocated residues in blooming crops.
|
||||
x Excess treated seed may be used for ethanol production only if (1) by-products
|
||||
are not used for livestock feed and (2) no measurable residues of pesticide
|
||||
remain in ethanol by-products that are used for agronomic practice.
|
||||
x Store away from feed and foodstuffs.
|
||||
x Wear long-sleeved shirt, long pants and chemical resistant gloves when handling
|
||||
treated seed.
|
||||
x Treated seeds exposed on soil surface may be hazardous to wildlife. Cover or
|
||||
collect treated seeds spilled during loading.
|
||||
x Do not contaminate water bodies when disposing of planting equipment wash
|
||||
waters.
|
||||
x Dispose of seed packaging in accordance with local requirements.
|
||||
x In the event of a crop failure or harvest of a crop grown from Four-way VAP
|
||||
treated seed, the field may be replanted immediately to alfalfa, Brassica (cole)
|
||||
leafy vegetables, cereal grains (including barley, buckwheat, corn, pearl millet,
|
||||
proso millet, oats, popcorn, rice (dry-seeded), rye, sorghum, teosinte, triticale,
|

mustard seed, field mustard seed, black mustard seed, flax seed, safflower seed,
|
||||
crambe seed and borage seed), root vegetables, strawberry, sunflowers,
|
||||
tobacco, and tuberous and corm vegetables. For any other crop, the minimum
|
||||
plant-back interval is 120 days from the date Four-way VAP treated seed was
|
||||
planted. A cover crop other than the crops listed above that is planted for
|
||||
erosion control or soil improvement may be planted sooner than the 120 day
|
||||
interval; however, the crop may not be grazed or harvested for food or feed.
|
||||
x Forage may not be grazed until 30 days after planting.
|
||||
x Do not allow children, pets, or livestock to have access to treated seed.
|
||||
x Treated seed must be planted into the soil at a depth greater than 1 inch.
|
||||
x Dispose of all excess treated seed. Leftover treated seed may be doublesown
|
||||
around the headland or buried away from water sources in accordance with local
|
||||
requirements.
|
||||
x Do not use at a rate that will result in more than 0.266 lb. thiamethoxam per acre
|
||||
(120.66 grams a.i./A) per year.
|
||||
x This seed has been treated with __ mg ai thiamethoxam per seed.
|
||||
x DDO NOT apply more than 0.25 lb ai/Acre (115 g ai/Acre) per calendar year of
|
||||
mefenoxam- or metalaxyl-containing products as a seed treatment on Legume
|
||||
Vegetables.
|

x
|
||||
DO NOT apply more than 0.052 lb ai/Acre (23 g ai/Acre) per calendar year of
|
||||
mefenoxam- or metalaxyl-containing products as a seed treatment on Soybean.
|
||||
x With the exception of soybeans, do not make any soil or foliar application of
|
||||
products containing thiamethoxam to crops grown from seed treated with Four-
|
||||
way VAP. For soybeans, do not apply a neonicotinoid insecticide within 45 days
|

MEFENOXAM GROUP 4 FUNGICIDE
|
||||
AZOXYSTROBIN GROUP 11 FUNGICIDE
|
||||
FLUDIOXONIL GROUP 12 FUNGICIDE
|
||||
For resistance management, please note that Four-way VAP contains Group
|
||||
4/mefenoxam, Group 11/azoxystrobin, and Group 12/fludioxonil fungicides. Any fungal
|
||||
population may contain individuals naturally resistant to Four-way VAP and other Group
|
||||
4, Group 11, or Group 12 fungicides. A gradual or total loss of pest control may occur
|
||||
over time if these fungicides are used repeatedly in the same fields. Appropriate
|
||||
resistance-management strategies should be followed.
|
||||
Mefenoxam belongs to the phenylamide class of chemistry which interferes with fungal
|
||||
RNA synthesis. Azoxystrobin belongs to the strobilurin class of chemistry which disrupts
|
||||
cellular respiration and energy generation. Fludioxonil belongs to the phenylpyrrole
|
||||
class of chemistry which interferes with osmotic signal transduction.
|
||||
To delay fungicide resistance, take one or more of the following steps:
|
||||
x Rotate the use of Four-way VAP or other Group 4, Group 11, or Group 12 f ungicides
|
||||
within a growing season sequence with different groups that control the same
|
||||
pathogens.
|
||||
x Use tank mi xt ur es wi th f ungi ci des f r om a di f f er ent gr oup that ar e equal l y ef f ecti ve on
|
||||
the target pest when such use is permitted. Use at l east the mini mum application
|
||||
rate as l abel ed by the manufacturer.
|
||||
x Adopt an integrated disease management program for f ungicide use that includes
|
||||
scouting, uses historical information related to pesticide use, and crop rotation, and
|
||||
which considers host plant resistance, impact of environmental condi tions on
|
||||
disease development, disease thresholds, as well as cultural, biological and other
|
||||
chemi cal contr ol pr acti ces.
|
||||
x Where possi ble, make use of predictive disease models to effectivel y time fungicide
|
||||
applications. Note that using predictive model s alone is not sufficient to manage
|
||||
resi stance.
|
||||
x M onitor treated fungal populations for resistance development.
|
||||
x Contact your local extension specialist or certified crop advisor for any additi onal
|
||||
pesticide resistance-management and/or IPM recommendations for specific crops
|
||||
and pathogens.
|
||||
x For further i nformation or to report suspected resistance contact Syngenta at 1-866-
|
||||

|
||||
university extension specialist to report resistance.

|
||||
THIAMETHOXAM GROUP 4A INSECTICIDE
|
||||
Four-way VAP contains a Group 4A insecticide (thiamethoxam, belonging to the
|
||||
neonicotinoid class of chemistry). Insect biotypes with acquired or inherent resistance
|
||||
to Group 4A insecticides may eventually dominate the insect population if Group 4A
|
||||
insecticides are used repeatedly as the predominant method of control for targeted
|
||||
species. This may result in partial or total loss of control of those species by Four-way
|
||||
VAP or other Group 4A insecticides.
|
||||
Thiamethoxam is a systemic insecticide belonging to the neonicotinoid class of
|
||||
chemistry which includes nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) agonists.
|
||||
In order to maintain susceptibility to this class of chemistry:
|
||||
x Avoid using Group 4A insecticides exclusively for season long control of insect
|
||||
species with more than one generation per crop season.
|
||||
x For insect species with successive or overlapping generations, apply Four-way VAP
|
||||
or other Group 4A insecticides using a “treatment window” approach. A treatment
|
||||
window is a period of time as defined by the stage of crop development and/or the
|
||||
biology of the pests of concern. Within the treatment window, depending on the
|
||||
length of residual activity, there may either be single or consecutive applications
|
||||
(seed treatment, soil, foliar, unless otherwise stated in the Directions for Use) of the
|
||||
Group 4A insecticides. Do not exceed the maximum Four-way VAP allowed per
|
||||
growing season.
|
||||
x Following a treatment window of Group 4A insecticides, rotate to a treatment window
|
||||
of effective products with a different mode of action before making additional
|
||||
applications of Group 4A insecticides.
|
||||
x A treatment window rotation, along with other IPM practices for the crop and use
|
||||
area, is considered an effective strategy for preventing or delaying a pest’s ability to
|
||||
develop resistance to this class of chemistry.
|
||||
x If resistance is suspected, do not reapply Four-way VAP or any other Group 4A
|
||||
insecticides.
|
||||
Other Insect Resistance Management (IRM) practices include:
|
||||
Incorporating IPM techniques into your insect control program.
|
||||
Monitoring treated insect populations for loss of field efficacy.
|
||||
Using tank-mixtures or premixes with insecticides from a different target site of
|
||||
action group as long as the involved products are all registered for the same crop
|
||||
outlet and effective rates are applied.
|
||||

CROP USE DIRECTIONS
|
||||
When applied according to the FOUR-WAY VAP RATE TABLE, Four-way VAP
|
||||
provides early season protection against injury by aphids, bean leaf beetle, grape
|
||||
colaspis, leaf miners, leaf hoppers, Mexican bean beetle, seed corn maggot,
|
||||
threecornered alfalfa hopper, thrips, white grubs, and wireworm.
|
||||
Four-way VAP provides protection against damping-off and seed borne rots due to
|
||||
Pythium, Phytophthora, Fusarium, Rhizoctonia species and early season Phytophthora
|
||||
root rot. Four-way VAP also suppresses seed-borne Sclerotinia and Phomopsis
|
||||
species.
