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
|
||||
Drift and runoff may be hazardous to aquatic organisms in water adjacent to treated area.
|
||||
Do not apply directly to water, or to areas where surface water is present, or to intertidal areas below the mean
|
||||
high water mark. Do not contaminate water when disposing of equipment washwater or rinsate. Do not apply
|
||||
when weather conditions favor drift from target area.
|
||||
Reporting Ecological Incidents:
|
||||
To report ecological incidents, including mortality, injury, or harm to plants and animals, call 1-901-774-4370.
|
||||
GROUND WATER ADVISORY
|
||||
Metolachlor is known to leach through soil into ground water under certain conditions as a result of label use.
|
||||
This chemical may leach into ground water if used in areas where soils are permeable particularly where the
|
||||
water table is shallow. Fomesafen is known to leach through soil into groundwater under certain conditions as
|
||||
a result of label use. This chemical may leach into groundwater if used in areas where soils are permeable
|
||||
particularly where the water table is shallow.
|
||||
SURFACE WATER ADVISORY
|
||||
This product may impact surface water quality due to runoff of rain water. This is especially true for poorly
|
||||
draining soils and soils with shallow groundwater. This product is classified as having high potential for
|
||||
reaching surface water via runoff for several weeks or months after application. A level, well maintained,
|
||||
vegetative buffer strip between areas to which this product is applied and surface water features such as
|
||||
ponds, streams, and springs will reduce the potential loading of metolachlor
|
||||
and fomesafen from runoff water
|
||||
and sediment. Runoff of this product will be reduced by avoiding application when rainfall or irrigation is
|
||||
expected to occur within 48 hours.
|
||||

MIXING/LOADING INSTRUCTIONS
|
||||
Care must be taken when using this product to prevent back siphoning into wells, spills or improper disposal
|
||||
of excess pesticide spray mixtures or rinsates. Check-valves or anti-siphoning devices must be used on all
|
||||
mixing and/or irrigation equipment. This product may not be mixed or loaded within 50 feet of perennial or
|
||||
intermittent streams and rivers, natural or impounded lakes and reservoirs. This product may not be
|
||||
mixed/loaded or used within 50 feet of all wells, including abandoned wells, drainage wells and sink holes.
|
||||
Operations that involve mixing, loading, rinsing or washing of this product into or from pesticide handling or
|
||||
application equipment or containers within 50 feet of any well are prohibited, unless conducted on an
|
||||
impervious pad constructed to withstand the weight of the heaviest load that may be positioned on or moved
|
||||
across the pad. Such a pad shall be designed and maintained to contain any product spills, or equipment
|
||||
leaks, container or equipment rinse or washwater and rain water that may fall on the pad. Surface water shall
|
||||
not be allowed to either flow over or from the pad, which means the pad must be self-contained. The pad shall
|
||||
be sloped to facilitate material removal. An unroofed pad shall be of sufficient capacity to contain at a minimum
|
||||
110% of the capacity of the largest pesticide container or application equipment on the pad. A pad that is
|
||||
covered by a roof of sufficient size to completely exclude precipitation from contact with the pad shall have a
|
||||
minimum containment capacity of 100% of the capacity of the largest pesticide container or application
|
||||
equipment on the pad.
|
||||
Containment capacities as described above shall be maintained at all times. The above-specified minimum
|
||||
containment capacities do not apply to vehicles when delivering pesticide shipments to the mixing/loading site.
|
||||

HERBICIDE RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT
|
||||
FOMESAFEN GROUP 14 HERBICIDE
|
||||
METOLACHLOR GROUP 15 HERBICIDE
|
||||
For resistance management, this product is a Group 14 and Group 15 modes of action herbicides. Any weed population
|
||||
may contain or develop plants naturally resistant to this product and other Group 14 and Group 15 modes of action
|
||||
herbicides. The resistant biotypes may dominate the weed population if these herbicides are used repeatedly in the same
|
||||
field. Appropriate resistance management strategies should be followed.
|
||||
To delay herbicide resistance, take one or more of the following steps:
|
||||
x Rotate the use of this product or other Group 14 and Group 15 modes of action herbicides within a growing season
|
||||
sequence or among growing seasons with different herbicide groups that control the same weeds in a field.
|
||||
x Use tank-mixtures with herbicides from a different group if such use is permitted; where information on resistance in
|
||||
target weed species is available, use the less resistance-prone partner at a rate that will control the target weed(s)
|
||||
equally as well as the more resistance-prone partner. Consult your local extension service or certified crop advisor if you
|
||||
are unsure as to which active ingredient is currently less prone to resistance.
|
||||
x Adopt an integrated weed-management program for herbicide use that includes scouting and uses historical information
|
||||
related to herbicide use and crop rotation, and that considers tillage (or other mechanical control methods), cultural (
|
||||
e.g., higher crop seeding rates; precision fertilizer application method and timing to favor the crop and not the weeds),
|
||||
biological (weed-competitive crops or varieties) and other management practices.
|
||||
x Scout after herbicide application to monitor weed populations for early signs of resistance development. Indicators of
|
||||
possible herbicide resistance include: (1) failure to control a weed species normally controlled by the herbicide at the
|
||||
dose applied, especially if control is achieved on adjacent weeds; (2) a spreading patch of non-controlled plants of a
|
||||
particular weed species; (3) surviving plants mixed with controlled individuals of the same species. If resistance is
|
||||
suspected, prevent weed seed production in the affected area by an alternative herbicide from a different group or by a
|
||||
mechanical method such as hoeing or tillage. Prevent movement of resistant weed seeds to other fields by cleaning
|
||||
harvesting and tillage equipment when moving between fields, and planting clean seed.
|
||||
x If a weed pest population continues to progress after treatment with this product, discontinue use of this product, and
|
||||
switch to another management strategy or herbicide with a different mode of action, if available.
|
||||
x Contact your local extension specialist or certified crop advisors for additional pesticide resistance-management and/or
|
||||
integrated weed-management recommendations for specific crops and weed biotypes.
|
||||
x For further information or to report suspected resistance, contact Drexel Chemical Company representatives at (901)
|
||||
774-4370.
|
||||
PRODUCT INFORMATION
|
||||
UP-FRONT is a selective herbicide for the control or partial control of labeled grass, broadleaf and sedge
|
||||
weeds in Cotton and Soybeans. Metolachlor and Fomesafen herbicides may be applied as a pre-plant surface,
|
||||
pre-plant incorporated, pre-emergence or post-emergence treatment.
|
||||
This product is a mixture of the active ingredients, Metolachlor and Fomesafen. Metolachlor is a biosynthesis
|
||||
inhibitor (Group 15 mode of action) preventing cell division in emerging weeds. Fomesafen is a
|
||||
protoporphyrmogen oxidase inhibitor (Group 14 mode of action) leading to cellular membrane disruption and
|
||||
plant death.
|
||||
MIXING INSTRUCTIONS
|
||||
Do not prepare more spray mixture than is needed for the immediate operation. Thoroughly clean the spray
|
||||
equipment before using this product. Vigorous agitation is necessary to maintain uniformity of the spray
|
||||
mixture. Maintain maximum agitation throughout the spraying operation. Do not allow spray mixture to stand
|
||||
overnight in the spray tank. Flush the spray equipment thoroughly following each use and apply the rinsate to
|
||||
a previously treated area.
|
||||
APPLICATION IN WATER OR FLUID FERTILIZERS
|
||||
THIS PRODUCT ALONE:
|
||||
Add one-third of the required amount of water or fluid fertilizer to the spray or mixing tank. With the agitator
|
||||
running, add this product into the spray tank. Continue agitation while adding the remainder of the water or
|
||||
fluid fertilizer. Begin application of the spray solution after this product has completely dispersed in the water
|
||||
or fluid fertilizer. Maintain agitation until all of the mixture has been applied.
|
||||
|
||||
5
|
||||
|
||||
TANK MIXTURES*:
|
||||
Add one-third of the required amount of water or fluid fertilizer to the mix tank. Start the agitator running before
|
||||
adding any tank mix partners. In general, tank mix partners should be added in this order: products packaged
|
||||
in water-soluble packaging, wettable powders, wettable granules (dry flowables), liquid flowables, liquid such
|
||||
as this product and emulsifiable concentrates. Always allow each tank mix partner to become fully dispersed
|
||||
before adding the next product. Provide sufficient agitation while adding the remainder of the water. Maintain
|
||||
agitation until all of the mixture has been applied.
|
||||
Note: (1) When using this product in tank mixtures, all products in water-soluble packaging should be added
|
||||
to the tank and mixed with plain water before any other tank mix partner, including this product. Allow the
|
||||
water-soluble packaging to completely dissolve and the product(s) to completely disperse before adding any
|
||||
other tank mix partner to the tank. (2) Water-soluble packets will not properly dissolve in most spray solutions
|
||||
that contain fluid fertilizers.
|
||||
*If using this product in a tank mixture, observe the most restrictive of all directions for use, crop/sites, use
|
||||
rates, dilution ratios, precautions and limitations that appear on the tank mix product label. Do not exceed
|
||||
labeled dosage rates for any product and follow the most restrictive label precauti ons and limitations of all
|
||||
products mixed. This product is compatible with most common tank mix partners. However, the physical
|
||||
compatibility of this product with tank mix partners should be tested before use. To determine the physical
|
||||
compatibility of this product with other products, use a jar test, as described below.
|
||||
It is the pesticide user’s responsibility to ensure that all products in the listed mixtures are registered
|
||||
for the intended use. Users must follow the most restrictive directions for use and precautionary
|
||||
statements of each product in the tank mixture.
|
||||
Note: Do not use nitrogen solutions or fluid fertilizers as a complete or partial spray carrier when applying this
|
||||
product as a post-emergence application to Soybeans as these combinations may cause crop injury.
|
||||
COMPATIBILITY TEST:
|
||||
A jar test is recommended before tank mixing to ensure compatibility of this product with other pesticides. The
|
||||
following test assumes a spray volume of 25 gallons per acre. For other spray volumes, make appropriate
|
||||
changes in the ingredients.
|
||||
Note: Nitrogen solutions or complete fluid fertilizers may replace all or part of the water in the spray for pre-
|
||||
plant surface, pre-plant incorporated or pre-emergence applications only. Because liquid fertilizers vary, even
|
||||
within the same analysis, always check compatibility with pesticide(s) before use. Incompatibility of tank
|
||||
mixtures is more common with suspensions of fertilizer and pesticides.
|
||||
Test Procedure:
|
||||
1. Add 1 pint of carrier (fertilizer or water) to each of 2 one-quart jars with tight lids.Note: Use the same source
|
||||
of water that will be used for the tank mix and conduct the test at the temperature the tank mix will be
|
||||
applied
|
||||
2. To one of the jars, add one-fourth teaspoonful or 1.2 milliliters of a compatibility agent approved for this use
|
||||
(1/4 tsp. is equivalent to 2 pts./100 gals. spray). Shake or stir gently to mix.
|
||||
3. To both jars, add the appropriate amount of pesticide(s) in their relative proportions based on specified
|
||||
label rates. If more than one pesticide is used, add them separately with dry pesticides first, flowables next
|
||||
and emulsifiable concentrates last. After each addition, shake or stir gently to thoroughly mix.
|
||||
4. After adding all ingredients, put lids on and tighten and invert each jar ten times to mix. Let the mixtures
|
||||
stand 15 to 30 minutes and then look for separation, large flakes, precipitates, gels, heavy oily film on the
|
||||
jar or other signs of incompatibility. Determine if the compatibility agent is needed in the spray mixture by
|
||||
comparing the two jars. If either mixture separates but can be remixed readily, the mixture can be sprayed
|
||||
as long as good agitation is used. If the mixtures are incompatible, test the following methods of improving
|
||||
compatibility: (a) Slurry the dry pesticide(s) in water before addition or (b) add one-half of the compatibility
|
||||
agent to the fertilizer or water and the other one-half to the emulsifiable concentrate or flowable pesticide
|
||||
before addition to the mixture. If incompatibility is still observed, do not use the mixture.
|
||||
5. After compatibility testing is complete, dispose of any pesticide wastes in accordance with the “STORAGE
|
||||
AND DISPOSAL” section in this label.

ACTIVATION
|
||||
A small amount of soil moisture is required to activate this product following application. In areas of low rainfall,
|
||||
a pre-emergence application to dry soil should be followed with light irrigation of 0.25 to 0.5 inch of water. As
|
||||
with many surface-applied herbicides, weed control and crop tolerance may vary with rainfall and/or soil
|
||||
texture. If rainfall or irrigation within 7 to 10 days does not occur, cultivate uniformly with shallow tilling
|
||||
equipment such as a rotary hoe that will not damage Soybeans.
|
||||
GROUND SPRAY EQUIPMENT
|
||||
Apply this product alone or in tank mixtures by ground equipment in a minimum of 10 gallons of spray mixture
|
||||
per acre, unless otherwise specified.
|
||||
Use sprayers that provide accurate and uniform application. Calibrate the sprayer before use at the beginning
|
||||
of the season. For mixtures with wettable powder or dry flowable formulations, screens and strainers should
|
||||
be no finer than 50-mesh.
|
||||
BAND APPLICATIONS
|
||||
Calculate the amount of herbicide needed for band treatment by the formula:
|
||||
Band width in inches x Broadcast rate = Amount needed
|
||||
Row width in inches per acre per acre of field
|
||||
CHEMIGATION
|
||||
Do not apply this product through any type of irrigation system.
|
||||
AERIAL APPLICATION
|
||||
Apply this product in water using a minimum spray volume of 5 gallons per acre. Avoid application under
|
||||
conditions where uniform coverage cannot be obtained or where excessive spray drift may occur. Make
|
||||
applications at a maximum height of 10 feet above the Soybeans with low-drift nozzles at a maximum pressure
|
||||
of 40 psi.
|
||||
Avoid application to humans or animals. Flagmen and loaders should avoid inhalation of spray mist and
|
||||
prolonged contact with skin.
|
||||
MANDATORY SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT
|
||||
GROUND BOOM APPLICATIONS:
|
||||
x Do not release spray at a height greater than 3 feet above the ground or crop canopy unless making a
|
||||
turf, pasture, or rangeland application, in which case do not release spray at a height greater than 4 feet
|
||||
above the ground or crop canopy.
|
||||
x Applicators are required to select the nozzles and pressure that deliver medium or coarser droplets (ASABE
|
||||
S572).
|
||||
x Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 15 miles per hour at the application site.
|
||||
x Do not apply during temperature inversions.
|
||||
BOOMLESS GROUND APPLICATIONS:
|
||||
x Applicators are required to select the nozzle and pres sure that deliver medium or coarser droplet size
|
||||
(ASABE S572.3) for all applications.
|
||||
x Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 15 miles per hour at the application site.
|
||||
x Do not apply during temperature inversions.
|
||||
AERIAL APPLICATIONS:
|
||||
x Do not release spray at a height greater than 10 feet above the ground or vegetative canopy, unless a
|
||||
greater application height is necessary for pilot safety.
|
||||
x For applications prior to the emergence of crops and target weeds, applicators are required to use a
|
||||
coarse or coarser droplets in accordance with American Society of Agricultural & Biological Engineers
|
||||
Standard 641 (ASABE S641).
|
||||
|
||||
7
|
||||
|
||||
x For all other applications, applicators must select the nozzle and pressure that deliver medium or
|
||||
coarser droplets (ASABE S641).
|
||||
x If the wind speed is 10 miles per hour or less, applicators must use one-half swath displacement
|
||||
upwind at the downwind edge of the field.
|
||||
x Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 10 miles per hour at the application site.
|
||||
x The boom length must not exceed 65% of the wingspan for airplanes or 75% of the rotor blade
|
||||

|
||||
x Do not apply during temperature inversions
|
||||
SPRAY DRIFT ADVISORIES
|
||||
THE APPLICATOR IS RESPONSIBLE FOR AVOIDING OFF-SITE SPRAY DRIFT.
|
||||
BE AWARE OF NEARBY NON-TARGET SITES AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS.
|
||||
IMPORTANCE OF DROPLET SIZE
|
||||
An effective way to reduce spray drift is to apply large droplets. Use the largest droplets that provide target
|
||||
pest control. While applying larger droplets will reduce spray drift, the potential for drift will be greater if
|
||||
applications are made improperly or under unfavorable environmental conditions.
|
||||
Controlling Droplet Size – Ground Boom
|
||||
Volume - Increasing the spray volume so that larger droplets are produced will reduce spray drift. Use the
|
||||
highest practical spray volume for the application. If a greater spray volume is needed, consider using a nozzle
|
||||
with a higher flow rate.
|
||||
Pressure - Use the lowest spray pressure recommended for the nozzle to produce the target spray volume
|
||||
and droplet size.
|
||||
Spray Nozzle - Use a spray nozzle that is designed for the intended application. Consider using nozzles
|
||||
designed to reduce drift.
|
||||
Controlling Droplet Size – Aircraft
|
||||
Adjust Nozzles - Follow nozzle manufacturers’ recommendations for setting up nozzles. Generally, to reduce
|
||||
fine droplets, nozzles should be oriented parallel with the airflow in flight.
|
||||
BOOM HEIGHT – Ground Boom
|
||||
For ground equipment, the boom should remain level with the crop and have minimal bounce.
|
||||
RELEASE HEIGHT - Aircraft
|
||||
Higher release heights increase the potential for spray drift.
|
||||
SHIELDED SPRAYERS
|
||||
Shielding the boom or individual nozzles can reduce spray drift. Consider using shielded sprayers. Verify that
|
||||
the shields are not interfering with the uniform deposition of the spray on the target area.
|
||||
TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY
|
||||
When making applications in hot and dry conditions, use larger droplets to reduce effects of evaporation.
|
||||
TEMPERATURE INVERSIONS
|
||||
Drift potential is high during a temperature inversion. Temperature inversions are characterized by increasing
|
||||
temperature with altitude and are common on nights with limited cloud cover and light to no wind. The presence
|
||||
of an inversion can be indicated by ground fog or by the movement of smoke from a ground source or an
|
||||
aircraft smoke generator. Smoke that layers and moves laterally in a concentrated cloud (under low wind
|
||||
conditions) indicates an inversion, while smoke that moves upward and rapidly dissipates indicates good
|
||||
vertical air mixing. Avoid applications during temperature inversions.
|
||||
WIND
|
||||
|
||||
8
|
||||
|
||||
Drift potential generally increases with wind speed. AVOID APPLICATIONS DURING GUSTY WIND
|
||||
CONDITIONS.
|
||||
Applicators need to be familiar with local wind patterns and terrain that could affect spray drift.”
|
||||
BOOMLESS GROUND APPLICATIONS
|
||||
Setting nozzles at the lowest effective height will help to reduce the potential for spray drift.
|
||||
HANDHELD TECHNOLOGY APPLICATIONS
|
||||
Take precautions to minimize spray drift.
|
||||
TO PREVENT OFF SITE MOVEMENT DUE TO RUNOFF OR WIND EROSION
|
||||
• Avoid treating powdery dry or light sand soils when conditions are favorable for wind erosion. Under these
|
||||
conditions, the soil surface should first be settled by rainfall or irrigation.
|
||||
• Do not apply to impervious substrates such as paved or highly compacted surfaces.
|
||||
• Do not use tail water from the first flood or furrow irrigation of treated fields to treat non-target crops, unless
|
||||
at least 0.5 inch of rainfall has occurred between application and the first irrigation.
|
||||
CLEANING EQUIPMENT AFTER APPLICATION
|
||||
Because some crops other than Soybeans are sensitive to low rates of this product, special attention must be
|
||||
given to cleaning equipment before spraying a crop other than those registered for use and on this label. Mix
|
||||
only as much spray solution as needed. Immediately after spraying, clean equipment thoroughly using the
|
||||
following procedure:
|
||||
1. Flush tank, hoses, boom and nozzles with clean water.
|
||||
2. Prepare a cleaning solution of 1 gallon of household ammonia per 50 gallons of water. Many commercial
|
||||
spray tank cleaners may be used as well. Consult your representative for a partial listing of approved tank
|
||||
cleaners and more information about proper tank cleaning procedures. Do not use chlorine based cleaners
|
||||
such as Clorox
|
||||
®.
|
||||
3. When available, use a pressure washer to clean the inside of the spray tank with this solution. Take care
|
||||
to wash all parts of the tank including the inside top surface. Completely fill the sprayer with the cleaning
|
||||
solution to ensure contact of the cleaning solution with all internal surfaces of the tank and plumbing. Start
|
||||
agitation in the sprayer and thoroughly recirculate the cleaning solution for at least 15 minutes. All visible
|
||||
deposits must be removed from the spraying system.
|
||||
4. Flush hoses, spray lines and nozzles for at least one minute with the cleaning solution.
|
||||
5. Do not apply directly to water, to areas where surface water is present or to intertidal areas below the mean
|
||||
water mark. Do not contaminate water when disposing of equipment washwater or rinsate. Do not apply
|
||||
when weather conditions favor drift from target area.
|
||||
6. Repeat steps 2 and 5.
|
||||
7. Remove nozzles, screens, diaphragm check valves and strainers, and clean separately in the ammonia
|
||||
cleaning solution after completing the above procedures.
|
||||
8. Rinse the complete spraying system with clean water.
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
For conventional tillage systems, this product may be applied pre-plant incorporated or pre-emergence for
|
||||
control or partial control of weeds listed in Table 2. This product may be applied alone or in tank mix or followed
|
||||
sequentially with post-emergence herbicides to broaden the weed control spectrum or control newly emerged
|
||||
weeds. Refer to Table 3 for use rates for this product.
|
||||
PRE-PLANT INCORPORATED APPLICATION
|
||||
Incorporate this product uniformly into the top 2 inches of soil within 7 days after application and before planting
|
||||
using a disk, field cultivator, rolling cultivator or similar implement. Apply this product pre-plant incorporated if
|
||||
furrow irrigation is used or when a period of dry weather after application is expected.
|
||||
PRE-EMERGENCE APPLICATION
|
||||
Apply during planting (behind the planter) or after planting, but before weeds or Soybeans emerge. Dry weather
|
||||
following pre-emergence applications of this product may reduce effectiveness. If weeds develop, cultivate
|
||||
uniformly with shallow tilling equipment such as a rotary hoe that will not damage Soybeans.

POST-EMERGENCE APPLICATION
|
||||
This product may be applied at 2 to 2.33 pints per acre as an early post-emergence application in Soybeans.
|
||||
Necrotic spotting, bronzing, leaf crinkling or curling of Soybean leaves may occur following post-emergence
|
||||
application, but Soybeans soon outgrow these effects and develop normally. Refer to Table 2 for weeds
|
||||
controlled or partially controlled with soil activation of this product if rainfall or irrigation occurs within 7 to10
|
||||
days after post-emergence application. This product alone may control or partially control certain emerged
|
||||
broadleaf weeds, however, for broad spectrum control, tank mix this product with Glyphosate (in Glyphosate-
|
||||
tolerant Soybeans only). Add nonionic surfactant (NIS) containing at least 75% surface-active agent at 0.25%
|
||||
v/v to the final spray volume if this product is applied alone or tank mixed with Glyphosate products that do not
|
||||
contain a built-in adjuvant. Do not use crop oil concentrate (COC) when applying this product post-emergence
|
||||
as these spray adjuvants may increase Soybean injury.
|
||||
Tank Mixtures for Post-emergence Applications in Soybeans
|
||||
This product may be tank mixed with Glyphosate products and applied post-emergence only on Glyphosate-
|
||||
tolerant Soybeans. This product may be tank mixed with insecticides including Lambda-cyhalothrin.
