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).

Dear Mr. Kyaw:
|
||||
|
||||
The Agency, in accordance with the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act
|
||||
(FIFRA), as amended, has completed reviewing all the information submitted with your
|
||||

|
||||
with the Fludioxonil and Mefenoxam Interim Decisions, and has concluded that your submission
|
||||
is acceptable. The label referred to above, submitted in connection with registration under
|
||||
FIFRA, as amended, is acceptable.
|
||||
|
||||
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
|
||||
Act and is subject to review by the Agency. If the website is false or misleading, the product
|
||||
would be misbranded and unlawful to sell or distribute under FIFRA section 12(a)(1)(E). 40
|
||||
CFR 156.10(a)(5) list examples of statements EPA may consider false or misleading. In addition,
|
||||
regardless of whether a website is referenced on your product’s label, claims made on the
|
||||
website may not substantially differ from those claims approved through the registration process.
|
||||
Therefore, should the Agency find or if it is brought to our attention that a website contains false
|
||||
or misleading statements or claims substantially differing from the EPA approved registration,
|
||||
the website will be referred to the EPA’s Office of Enforcement and Compliance.
|
||||
|

|
||||
distribute or sell this product if it bears this new revised labeling or subsequently
|
||||
approved labeling. “To distribute or sell” is defined under FIFRA section 2(gg) and its
|

DIRECTIONS FOR USE
|
||||
|
||||
It is a violation of Federal law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its
|
||||
labeling.
|
||||
|
||||
Treatment of highly mechanically scarred or damaged seed or seed known to be of low

|
||||
USE INFORMATION
|
||||
|
||||
CruiserMaxx EZ is a seed treatment product containing the active ingredients:
|
||||
thiamethoxam (insecticide) and fludioxonil and mefenoxam (fungicides). CruiserMaxx
|
||||
EZ protects against damage from listed early season insects, soil-borne and seed-borne
|
||||
diseases of soybeans.
|
||||
|
||||
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.
|
||||
|
||||
MIXING PROCEDURES
|
||||
|
||||
Important: Always re-circulate CruiserMaxx EZ thoroughly before using.
|
||||
|
||||
The typical density of CruiserMaxx EZ is 9.41 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.
|
||||
|
||||
Apply CruiserMaxx EZ 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 CruiserMaxx EZ 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.
|
||||
CruiserMaxx EZ is compatible with several liquid inoculant products. Consult the maker
|
||||
of the inoculant product and a Syngenta Crop Protection representative for directions
|
||||
before applying CruiserMaxx EZ with inoculants.
|
||||
|
||||
7
|
||||
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 CruiserMaxx EZ; 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.
|
||||
|
||||
Use an EPA-approved dye or colorant that imparts an unnatural color to the seed as
|
||||
required in 40 CFR 153.155 (c).
|
||||
|
||||
Allow seed to dry before bagging.
|
||||
|
||||
Follow planter manufacturer specifications for use of talc or other hopper box additives
|
||||
at planting. Seed must be completely dry before adding to planter.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
SEED BAG LABEL REQUIREMENTS
|
||||
|
||||
The Federal Seed Act requires that bags containing treated seeds shall be labeled with
|
||||
the following statements:
|
||||
x This seed has been treated with thiamethoxam insecticide and 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 CruiserMaxx EZ:
|
||||
|
||||
x Ground Water Advisory:
|
||||
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.
|
||||
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 Store away from feeds 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 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 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 CruiserMaxx EZ
|
||||
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,
|
||||
wheat and wild rice), canola, cotton, cucurbit vegetables, dry bulb onions, fruiting
|
||||
vegetables, leafy vegetables, legume vegetables, mint (peppermint and
|
||||
spearmint), oil seed crops (black mustard seed, borage seed, crambe seed, field
|
||||
mustard seed, flax seed, Indian mustard seed, Indian rapeseed seed, rapeseed
|
||||
seed, and safflower seed), peanuts, root vegetables, strawberry, sunflowers,
|
||||
|
||||
9
|
||||
tobacco, and tuberous and corm vegetables. For any other crop, the minimum
|
||||
plant-back interval is 120 days from the date CruiserMaxx EZ 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 Do not allow children, pets, or livestock to have access to treated seed.
|
||||
x Do not use at a rate that will result in more than 0.083 lb thiamethoxam per acre
|
||||
(37.8 grams ai/A) as a seed treatment application.
|
||||
x This seed has been treated with 0.0756mg ai thiamethoxam,0.0113 mg ai

Resistance Management
|
||||
THIAMETHOXAM GROUP 4A INSECTICIDE
|
||||
|
||||
For resistance management, CruiserMaxx EZ contains a Group 4A/thiamethoxam
|
||||
insecticide. Any insect population may contain individuals naturally resistant to
|
||||
CruiserMaxx EZ and other Group 4A insecticides. The resistant individuals may
|
||||
dominate the insect population if this group of insecticides are used repeatedly in the
|
||||
same fields. Appropriate resistance-management strategies should be followed
|
||||
|
||||
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 CruiserMaxx
|
||||
EZ 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) of the Group 4A
|
||||
insecticides. Do not exceed the maximum CruiserMaxx EZ 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.
|
||||
|
||||
10
|
||||
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 CruiserMaxx EZ or any other Group 4A
|
||||
insecticides.
|
||||
|
||||
Other Insect Resistance Management (IRM) practices include:
|
||||
x Incorporating IPM techniques into your insect control program.
|
||||
x Monitoring treated insect populations for loss of field efficacy.
|
||||
x 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.
|
||||
|
||||
For additional information on Insect Resistance Management:
|
||||
x Contact your local extension specialist, certified crop advisor and/or product
|
||||
manufacturer for additional insect resistance management recommendations.
|
||||

|
||||
MEFENOXAM GROUP 4 FUNGICIDE
|
||||
FLUDIOXONIL GROUP 12 FUNGICIDE
|
||||
|
||||
For resistance management, please note that CruiserMaxx EZ contains both a Group
|
||||
4/mefenoxam and Group 12/fludioxonil fungicide. Any fungal population may contain
|
||||
individuals naturally resistant to CruiserMaxx EZ and other Group 4 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 is a systemic fungicide belonging to the phenylamide class of chemistry
|
||||
which adversely affects fungal RNA synthesis. 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 CruiserMaxx EZ or other Group 4 or Group 12 fungicides within
|
||||
a growing season sequence with different groups that control the same
|
||||
pathogens.
|
||||
|
||||
x Use tank mixtures with fungicides from a different group that are equally effective
|
||||
on the target pest when such use is permitted. Use at least the minimum
|
||||
application rate as labeled by the manufacturer.
|
||||
|
||||
x Adopt an integrated disease management program for fungicide use that
|
||||
includes scouting, uses historical information related to pesticide use, and crop
|
||||
|
||||
11
|
||||
rotation, and which considers host plant resistance, impact of environmental
|
||||
conditions on disease development, disease thresholds, as well as cultural,
|
||||
biological and other chemical control practices.
|
||||
|
||||
x Where possible, make use of predictive disease models to effectively time
|
||||
fungicide application. Note that using predictive models alone is not sufficient to
|
||||
manage resistance.
|
||||
|
||||
x Monitor treated fungal populations for resistance development.
|
||||
|
||||
x Contact your local extension specialist or certified crop advisor for any additional
|
||||
pesticide resistance-management and/or IPM recommendations for specific
|
||||
crops and pathogens.
|
||||
|
||||
x For further information or to report suspected resistance contact Syngenta at 1-
|
||||

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

||||
Syngenta encourages responsible product stewardship to ensure effective long term

* When to Add Additional Apron XL:
|
||||
|
||||
If target fields have a history of high Phytophthora pressure, add additional Apron XL as
|
||||
directed in the rate table and the Apron XL label. The additional Apron XL may reduce
|
||||
compatibility with some rhizobia inoculants. Consult with the maker of rhizobia
|
||||
inoculants before adding the additional Apron XL.
|
||||
|
||||
Stored Grain Protection
|
||||
|
||||
When treated according to the directions for post-planting protection against listed
|
||||
pests, CruiserMaxx EZ will also provide protection during post treatment storage of the
|
||||
soybean seed against damage from the following stored grain insects: Indian Meal
|
||||
Moth (Plodia interpunctella), Rice Weevil (Sitophilus oryza), Red Flour Beetle (Tribolium
|
||||
castaneum), and Lesser Grain Borer (Rhizopertha dominica).
|
||||
|
||||
If the soybean seed to be treated has existing infestations of stored grain insects,
|
||||
fumigate the seed with a registered product approved for such use, prior to treating with
|
||||
CruiserMaxx EZ and bagging.
