docker: production image + Gitea Actions for monthly refresh
Image rebuild (skip scrape) / build (push) Failing after 1h37m12s
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 Ms. Tackema:
|
||||
|
||||
The Agency, in accordance with the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act
|
||||
(FIFRA), as amended, has completed reviewing all the information submitted with your
|
||||
application to support the Registration Review of the above referenced product in connection
|
||||
with the Clethodim Interim Decision, 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.
|
||||
|
||||
A stamped copy of your labeling is enclosed for your records. This labeling supersedes
|
||||
all previously accepted labeling. You must submit one copy of the final printed labeling
|
||||
before you release the product for shipment with the new labeling. In accordance with 40
|
||||
CFR 152.130(c), you may distribute or sell this product under the previously approved
|
||||
labeling for 12 months from the date of this letter. After 12 months, you may only
|
||||
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
|
||||
implementing regulation at 40 CFR 152.3.

NON-AGRICULTURAL USE REQUIREMENTS
|
||||
The requirements in this box apply to uses of this product that are not within the scope of the WPS for agricultural pesticides (40
|
||||
CFR Part 170). The WPS applies when this product is used to produce agricultural crops on farms, forests, nurseries, or
|
||||
greenhouses.
|
||||
Keep all unprotected persons out of operating areas, or vicinity where there may be drift.
|
||||
Do not enter or allow other to enter the treated area until sprays have dried.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
HOW IT WORKS
|
||||
This product is a selective systemic herbicide for control of existing annual and perennial grasses growing in plants grown for wildlife
|
||||
food. This product does not control sedges or broadleaf weeds.
|
||||
Growth of treated grasses stops soon after application. Treated grassy weeds show a reduction in vigor and growth. The growing
|
||||
points frequently turn purple to reddish in color before the plant dies. Treated grass will usually completely die within two weeks.
|
||||
|
||||
USE DIRECTIONS FOR ANNUAL GRASSES
|
||||
• Apply only to actively growing grasses at specified weed heights.
|
||||
• Apply when the first grass weed species in a mixed grass weed population reaches the specified growth stage for treatment.
|
||||
• Use the high specified rate under heavy grass pressure and/or when grasses are at maximum height.

|
||||
WHEN TO USE
|
||||
Apply when grassy weeds are actively growing. Weather conditions such as sunny skies and warm weather promote the growth of
|
||||
weeds and make them more susceptible.
|
||||
• Rainfall within one hour of application will reduce product performance and control may be reduced.
|
||||
• Mowing or topping grassy weeds before application will reduce product performance and control may be reduced.
|
||||
• Application to stressed target grassy weeds will reduce product performance and control may be reduced. These conditions
|
||||
include drought, excessive water, extremes in temperature and low humidity.
|
||||
|
||||
SPRAY DRIFT
|
||||
|
||||
Ground Boom Applications:
|
||||
x Apply with the nozzle height recommended by the manufacturer, but no more than 3 feet above the ground or crop canopy.
|
||||
For all other ground applications, the nozzle must be no more than 3 feet from the target vegetation.
|
||||
x Applicators are required to use a medium or coarser droplet size (ASABE S572.1).
|
||||
x Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 10 miles per hour at the application site.
|
||||
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 o r under
|
||||
unfavorable environmental conditions.
|
||||
|
||||
Controlling Droplet Size – Ground Boom
|
||||
x 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.
|
||||
x Pressure – Use the lowest spray pressure recommended for the nozzle to produce the target spray volume and droplet size.
|
||||
x Spray Nozzle – Use a spray nozzle that is designed for the intended application. Consider using nozzles designed to reduce
|
||||
drift.
|
||||
|
||||
BOOM HEIGHT – Ground Boom
|
||||
For ground equipment, the boom should remain level with the crop and have minimal bounce.
|
||||
|
||||
SHIELDED SPRAYERS
|
||||
Shielding the boom or individual nozzles can reduce spray drift. Consider using shielded sprayers. Verify that the shields ar e 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
|
||||
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.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
WEED RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT
|
||||
|
||||
This product is a Group 1 herbicide. Any weed population may contain or develop plants naturally resistant to this product and other
|
||||
Group 1 herbicides. The resistant biotypes may dominate the weed population if these herbicides are used repeatedly in the sam e
|
||||
field. Appropriate resistance-management strategies should be followed. To delay herbicide resistance take one or more of the
|
||||
following steps:
|
||||
|
||||
"To delay herbicide resistance take one or more of the following steps:
|
||||
|
||||
• Rotate the use of this product or other Group 1 herbicides within a growing season sequence or among growing seasons with
|
||||
different herbicide groups that control the same weeds in a field.
|
||||
|
||||
• 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 t he 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.
|
||||
|
||||
• 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
|
||||
|
||||
7
|
||||
crops or varieties) and other management practices.
|
||||
• Scout after herbicide application to monitor weed populations for early signs of resistance development. Indicators of possib le
|
||||
herbicide resistance include: (1) failure to control a weed species normally controlled by the herbicide at the dose applied, e specially
|
||||
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.
|
||||
|
||||
• If a weed pest population continues to progress after treatment with this product, discontinue use of this product, and switc h to
|
||||
another management strategy or herbicide with a different mode of action, if available.
|
||||
|
||||
• 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.
|
||||
|
||||
• For further information or to report suspected resistance, contact Nufarm at 919-379-2510.
|
||||
|
||||
BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES
|
||||
|
||||
x Plant into weed-free fields and keep fields as weed-free as possible.
|
||||
x Use a diversified approach toward weed management. Whenever possible incorporate multiple weed-control practices
|
||||
such as mechanical cultivation, biological management practices, and crop rotation.
|
||||
x Fields with difficult to control weeds should be rotated to crops that allow the use of herbicides with alternative
|
||||
mechanisms of action or different management practices.
|
||||
x Do not allow weed escapes to produce seeds, roots or tubers. Manage weed seeds at harvest and post-harvest to
|
||||
prevent a buildup of the weed seed-bank.
|
||||
x Prevent field-to-field and within-field movement of weed seed or vegetative propagules.
|
||||
x Prevent an influx of weeds into the field by managing field borders.
|
||||
x Identify weeds present in the field through scouting and field history and understand their biology. The weed-control
|
||||
program should consider all of the weeds present.
|
||||
x Difficult to control weeds may require sequential applications of herbicides with differing mechanisms of action.
|
||||
x Apply this herbicide at the correct timing and rate needed to control the most difficult weed in the field.
|
||||
x Use a broad spectrum soil-applied herbicide with a mechanism of action that differs from this product as a foundation in a
|
||||
weed-control program. Do not use more than two applications of this or any other herbicide with the same mechanism of
|
||||
action within a single growing season unless mixed with an herbicide with another mechanism of action with an
|
||||
overlapping spectrum for the difficult-to-control weeds.
|
||||
x If resistance is suspected, treat weed escapes with an herbicide with a different MOA or use non-chemical methods to
|
||||
remove escapes.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
