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).

ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS
|
||||
This pesticide is toxic to fish and aquatic invertebrates. Drift and runoff may be hazardous to aquatic
|
||||
organisms in water adjacent to treated areas. Use care when applying in or to an area which is adjacent to
|
||||
any body of water, and do not apply when weather conditions favor drift from target area. Poorly draining soils
|
||||
and soils with shallow water tables are more prone to produce runoff that contains this product. Reporting
|
||||
Ecological Incidents: To report ecological incidents, including mortality, injury, or harm to plants and
|
||||
animals, call (901) 774-4370.
|
||||
When applying as a wide area mosquito adulticide, before making the first application in a season, it is advisable
|
||||
to consult with the State or Tribal agency charged with primary responsibility for pesticide regulation to determine
|
||||
if other regulatory requirements exist.
|
||||
This product is highly toxic to bees exposed to direct treatment on blooming crops or weeds. Do not apply or
|
||||
allow to drift onto blooming crops or weeds while bees ar e actively visiting the treatment area, except when
|
||||
applications are made to prevent or control a threat to public and/or animal health determined by a State, Tribal
|
||||
or local public health or vector control agency on the bas is of documented evidence of disease causing agents
|
||||
in vector mosquitoes or the occurrence of mosquito- borne disease in animal or human populations, or if
|
||||
specifically approved by the State or Tribe during a natural disaster recove ry effort. When applying as a wide
|
||||
area mosquito adulticide, do not apply over bodies of water (lakes, rivers, permanent streams, natural ponds,
|
||||
commercial fish ponds, swamps, marshes or estuaries), e xcept when necessary to target areas where adult
|
||||
mosquitoes are present, and weather conditions will facilitate movement of applied material away from the water
|
||||
in order to minimize incidental deposition into the water body.
|
||||
Do not discharge effluent containing this product into lakes, streams, ponds, estuaries, oceans, or other waters
|
||||
unless in accordance with the requirements of a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES)
|
||||
permit and the permitting authority has been notified in writ ing prior to discharge. Do not discharge effluent
|
||||
containing this product to sewer systems without previously notifying the local sewage treatment plant authority.

|
||||
To minimize hazard to bees, do not apply this product more than two hours after sunrise or
|
||||
more than two hours before sunset. This timing restriction prohibits applications when bees are
|
||||
most active (mid-day). This restriction does not apply when applications are made as a spot
|
||||
treatment or to prevent or control a threat to public and/or animal health determined be a state,
|
||||
tribal or local public health or vector control agency on the basis of documented evidence of
|
||||
disease causing agents in vector mosquitoes or the occurrence of mosquito borne disease in
|
||||
animal and human populations, or if specifically approved by the state or tribe during a natural
|
||||
disaster recovery effort.
|
||||
Calibrate and inspect nozzles at least once a year to ensure they are in good working condition.
|
||||
Mandatory spray Drift Management
|
||||
Ultra Low Volume Applications
|
||||
x Apply when ground wind speeds are equal to or greater than 1 mph.
|
||||
x All types of applications should be conducted when temperatures at ground level are at or above 50°F.
|
||||
For Ground Applications:
|
||||
x Create an optimum swath when possible. An optimum swath width can be achieved when this product
|
||||
is applied from a truck that is being driven perpendicular to the wind direction. Direct the spray head
|
||||
of equipment to ensure even distribution of the spray cloud throughout the area.
|
||||
x FOR BEST RESULTS treat when mosquitoes or insects are most active and weather conditions are
|
||||
conducive to keeping the spray cloud in the air column close to the ground.
|
||||
x An inversion of air temperatures and a light breeze is preferable. Application during the cooler hours
|
||||
of the night or early morning is recommended.
|
||||
For Aerial Applications:
|
||||
|
||||
Page 4 of 7
|
||||
|
||||
x Do not apply by fixed wing aircraft at a nozzle height less than 100 feet (30.5 m) above ground or
|
||||
canopy, or by helicopter at a height less than 75 feed (22.9 m) above the ground or canopy, unless
|
||||
specifically approved by the state or tribe based on public health needs.
|
||||
Adult mosquito control applications should be limited to trained personnel.
|
||||
x For use only by federal, state, tribal or local government officials responsible for public health or
|
||||
vector control or by persons certified in the appropriate category or otherwise authorized by the
|
||||
state or tribal lead pesticide regulatory Agency to perform adult mosquito control applications, or
|
||||
by persons under their supervision, or as allowed by state regulations for persons treating private
|
||||
property.
|
||||
x This pesticide is toxic to aquatic organisms. Runoff from treated areas or deposition of spray
|
||||
droplets into a body of water may be hazardous to aquatic organisms.
|
||||
x Do not apply over bodies of water (lakes, rivers, permanent streams, natural ponds, commercial
|
||||
fish ponds, swamps, marshes or estuaries), except when necessary to target areas where adult
|
||||
mosquitos are present, and weather conditions will facilitate movement of applied material beyond
|
||||
the body of water to minimize incidental deposition into the water body. Do not contaminate bodies
|
||||
of water when disposing of equipment rinsate or wash waters.
|
||||
x Before making the first application in a season, consult with the state or tribal Agency with primary
|
||||
responsibility for pesticide regulation to determine if other regulatory requirements exist.
|
||||
x Treatment of a site must be based on surveillance results. Do not treat any site with malathion
|
||||
more than 1 time per day. Do not apply more than 0.23 lbs ai/acre of this product per day by air or
|
||||
0.06 lbs ai/acre per day by ground within any 24-hour period. Do not treat any site with more than
|
||||
0.46 lb ai/acre within a 7 day period and the amount of undiluted product applied to any site must
|
||||
not exceed 5.75 lbs ai/acre per year. More frequent treatments may be made to prevent or control
|
||||
a threat to public and/or animal health determined by a state, tribal or local health or vector control
|
||||
agency on the basis of documented evidence of disease causing agents in vector mosquitoes or
|
||||
the occurrence of mosquito- borne disease in animal or human populations, or if specifically
|
||||
approved by the state of tribe during a natural disaster effort.
|
||||
RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS
|
||||
For resistance management, MALATHION ULV 96.5% contains a Group 1B insecticide or acaricide. Any
|
||||
insect/mite population may contain individuals naturally resistant to this product and other Group 1B
|
||||
insecticides/acaricides. The resistant individuals may dominate the insect/mite population if this group of
|
||||
insecticides/acaricides are used repeatedly in the same fields. Appropriate resistance-management
|
||||
strategies should be followed.
|
||||
To delay insecticide/acaricide resistance, take the following steps:
|
||||
x Rotate the use of this product or other Group 1B insecticides/acaricides within a growing season,
|
||||
or among growing seasons, with different groups that control the same pests.
|
||||
x Use tank mixtures with insecticides/acaricides from a different group that are equally effective on
|
||||
the target pest when such use is permitted. Do not rely on the same mixture repeatedly for the
|
||||
same pest population. Consider any known cross-resistance issues for the targeted pests between
|
||||
the individual components of a mixture. In addition, consider the following recommendations
|
||||
provided by the Insecticide Resistance Action Committee (IRAC):
|
||||
MALATHION GROUP
|
||||
1B INSECTICIDE
|
||||
|
||||
Page 5 of 7
|
||||
|
||||
o Individual insecticides selected for use in mixtures should be highly effective and be applied
|
||||
at the rates at which they are individually registered for use against the target species.
|
||||
o Mixtures with components having the same IRAC mode of action classification are not
|
||||
recommended for insect resistance management.
|
||||
o When using mixtures, consider any known cross-resistance issues between the individual
|
||||
components for the targeted pest(s).
|
||||
o Mixtures become less effective if resistance is already developing to one or both active
|
||||
ingredients, but they may still provide pest management benefits.
|
||||
o The insect resistance management benefits of an insecticide mixture are greatest of the
|
||||
two components have similar periods of residual insecticidal activity. Mixtures of
|
||||
insecticides with unequal periods of residual insecticide activity may offer an insect
|
||||
resistance management benefit only for the period where both insecticides are active.
|
||||
x Adopt an integrated pest management program for insecticides/acaricides use that includes
|
||||
scouting, uses historical information related to pesticide use, crop rotation, record keeping, and
|
||||
which considers cultural, biological and other chemical control practices.
|
||||
x Monitor after application for unexpected target pest survival. If the level of survival suggests the
|
||||
presence of resistance, consult with your local university specialist or certified pest control advisor.
|
||||
x Contact your local extension specialist or certified crop advisor for any additional pesticide
|
||||
resistance-management and/or IPM recommendations for the specific site and pest problems in
|
||||
your area.
|
||||

MOSQUITO CONTROL IN POPULATED AND RURAL AREAS
|
||||
PRECAUTIONS AND RESTRICTIONS
|
||||
Before making the first application in a season, it is advisable to consult with the State or Tribal agency with
|
||||
primary responsibility for pesticide regulation to determine if other regulatory requirements exist.
|
||||
Restrictions:
|
||||
• Do not apply more than 0.23 pound a.i. per acre per day.
|
||||
• Only treat when mosquitoes are swar ming or biting. Do not retreat a site more than 3 times in any one week.
|
||||
However, more frequent treatments may be made to prevent or control a threat to public and/or animal health
|
||||
determined by a State, Tribal or local health or vector control agency on the basis of documented evidence of
|
||||
disease causing agents in vector mosquitoes or the occurrence of mosquito-borne diseases in animal or human
|
||||
populations, or if specifically approved by the State or Tribe during a natural disaster effort.
|
||||
• Apply when wind speed is greater than or equal to 1 mph.
|
||||
• Do not apply by fixed wing aircraft at height less than 100 feet, or by helicopter at a height less than 75 feet
|
||||
unless specifically approved by the State or Tribe based on public health needs.
|
||||
Precautions:
|
||||
• IMPORTANT: IN AREAS WHERE AUTOMOBI LES, TRAILERS, TRUCKS AND PLEASURE BOATS ARE
|
||||
PRESENT, undiluted spray droplets of this product will permanently damage vehicle paint finishes unless the
|
||||
aircraft used for the ultra low volume application meets all of the specifications listed under AERIAL
|
||||
APPLICATION.
|
||||
AERIAL APPLICATION
|
||||
Adult Mosquitoes on Rangeland, P asture, and Other Uncultivated No n-Agricultural Areas (Wastelands,
|
||||
Roadsides):
|
||||
Spray equipment must be adjusted so that the volume me dian diameter produced is less than 60 microns (Dv
|
||||
0.5 < 60 um) and that 90% of the spray is contained in droplets smaller than 100 microns (Dv 0.9 < 100 um). The
|
||||
effects of flight speed and, for non-rotary nozzles, nozzle angle on the droplet size spectrum must be considered.
|
||||
Directions from the equipment manufactur er or vendor, pesticide reg istrant or a test facility using a wind tunnel
|
||||
and laser-based measurement instrument must be used to adjust equipment to produce acceptable droplet size
|
||||
spectra. Application equipment must be tested at least annually to confirm that pressure at the nozzle and nozzle
|
||||
flow rate(s) are properly calibrated.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
Adult mosquito control over cities, towns, and othe r areas where automobiles, trailers, trucks, and
|
||||
pleasure boats are present:
|
||||
Apply 2.6 to 3.0 fluid ounces of this product per acre. Apply only when weather conditions are favorable. Wind
|
||||
and rising air currents may cause undesirable spray drift and reduce insect control. See "Precautions and
|
||||
Restrictions" for additional instructions.
|
||||
BUFFER ZONES FOR AERIAL APPLICATION
|
||||
Do not apply within 100 feet of aquatic habitats (such as, but not limited to, lakes, reservoirs, rivers, streams,
|
||||
wetlands, ponds, estuaries, and commercial fish ponds). This 100-foot buffer is in addition to the full swath
|
||||
displacement upwind that applicators must use at the downwind edge of the field. Applications made by
|
||||
mosquito control districts and other public health officials are exempt from this requirement.
|
||||
GROUND-BASED APPLICATION
|
||||
Spray equipment must be adjusted so that the volume median diameter is less than 30 microns (Dv 0.3 < 30 um)
|
||||
and that 90% of the spray is contained in droplets smaller than 50 microns (Dv 0.9 < 50 um). Directions from the
|
||||
equipment manufacturer or vendor, pesticide registrant or test facility using laser-based measurement instrument
|
||||
must be used to adjust equipment to produce acceptable droplet size spectra. Application equipment must be
|
||||
tested at least annually to confirm that pressure at the nozzle and nozzle flow rate(s) are properly calibrated. Do
|
||||
not apply within 50 feet of aquatic habitats (such as, but not limited to, lakes, reservoirs, rivers, streams, wetlands,
|
||||
ponds, estuaries, and commercial fish ponds). This 50-foot buff er is in addition to the full swath displacement
|
||||
upwind that applicators must use at the downwind edge of the field. Applications made by mosquito control
|
||||
districts and other public health officials are exempt from this requirement.
|
||||
Thermal Aerosols or Fogs
|
||||
For control of adult mosquitoes with thermal aerosols or fogs: Apply this product at the rate of 3.9 to 5.2 gallons
|
||||
of this product in 100 gallons of finished solution by ground equipment delivering 40 gallons per hour at a vehicle
|
||||
speed of 5 miles per hour to treat a swath width of 300 fe et (equivalent to 180 acres per hour). At 3.9 gallons of
|
||||
this product per 100 gallons of finished solution, this is equivalent to 0.08 pounds active per acre. At 5.2 gallons
|
||||
per 100 gallons of finished solution, this is equivalent to 0.11 pound active per acre.
|
||||
Non-thermal Aerosols

OPERATING EQUIPMENT
|
||||
Each non-thermal aerosol generator used for dispersal of this product to control adult mosquitoes must have
|
||||
minimum capability of producing the droplet spectrum described under GROUND BASED APPLICATION. The
|
||||
initial determination of droplet size is made after the unit is installed in a vehicle and prior to its use in mosquito
|
||||
control operations. Recheck the unit frequently to insure that proper droplet size is maintained for each operation.
|
||||
Determination of droplet size every two months is usuall y sufficient if the unit has been maintained in good
|
||||
operating condition. Equipment manufacturer's instructions setting forth cleaning and maintenance of the unit
|
||||
must be followed. The unit must be inspected before each op eration to correct any leaks or obstructions in the
|
||||
spray system; to detect whether the nozzle, hoses, or other parts are worn and need replacement; to insure that
|
||||
the flow meter is properly calibrated and to determine that the pressure recommended by the manufacturer is
|
||||
being maintained.
|
||||
Flow Rate - Must be regulated by accurate flow meter
