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).

ENGINEERING CONTROLS STATEMENT
|
||||
Water soluble packets, when used correctly, qualify as a closed mixing/loading system under the Worker Protection Standard
|
||||
[40 CFR 170.607(d)]. Mixers and loaders handling this product while it is enclosed in intact water soluble packets may elect
|
||||
to wear reduced PPE of long-sleeved shirt, long pants, shoes, socks. When reduced PPE is worn because a closed system is
|
||||
being used, handlers must be provided all PPE specified above for “applicators and other handlers” and have such PPE
|
||||
immediately available for use in an emergency, such as a spill or equipment break-down.
|
||||
ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS
|
||||
This pesticide may be hazardous to plants outside the 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. Offsite movement from spray drift, volatilization, and
|
||||
runoff may be hazardous to neighboring crops and vegetative habitat utilized for food and cover by wildlife and aquatic
|
||||
organisms.
|
||||
DO NOT contaminate water when disposing of equipment washwaters.
|
||||
Nontarget Organism Advisory Statement: This product is toxic to plants and may adversely impact the forage and habitat
|
||||

|
||||
organisms by following label directions intended to minimize spray drift.
|
||||
Groundwater Advisory Statement: This chemical has properties and characteristics associated with chemicals detected in
|
||||
groundwater. This chemical may leach into groundwater if used in areas where soils are permeable, particularly where the
|
||||
water table is shallow.
|
||||
Surface Water Advisory Statement: 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 ground water. This product is classified as having high
|
||||
potential for reaching surface water via runoff for several months or more 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 Raptor® DG herbicide from runoff water and
|
||||
sediment. Runoff of this product will be reduced by avoiding applications when rainfall or irrigation is expected to occur
|
||||
within 48 hours.

|
||||
GENERAL INFORMATION
|
||||
RAPTOR DG is effective in controlling weeds in conservation tillage and conventional production systems. RAPTOR DG
|
||||
can be applied early postemergence in soybeans but before the bloom stage. Refer to the specific treatment under the
|
||||
“APPLICATION INFORMATION” section of the label.
|
||||
The mode of weed killing activity involves uptake of RAPTOR DG by foliage and/or weed roots and rapid translocation to
|
||||
the growing points. After RAPTOR DG application, susceptible weeds may show yellowing and weed growth will stop.
|
||||
Susceptible weeds stop growing and either die or are not competitive with the crop. Adequate soil moisture is important for
|
||||
optimum RAPTOR DG activity. When adequate soil moisture is present, RAPTOR DG will provide residual activity of
|
||||
susceptible germinating weeds; activity on established weeds will depend on the weed species and the location of its root
|
||||
system in the soil. A timely cultivation after a RAPTOR DG application may improve general weed control.
|
||||
Use of RAPTOR DG is expected to result in normal growth of rotational crops in most situations; however, various
|
||||
environmental and agronomic factors make it impossible to eliminate all risks associated with the use of this product and,
|
||||
therefore, rotational crop injury is always possible.
|
||||
Occasionally, internode shortening and/or temporary yellowing of crop plants may occur following RAPTOR DG
|
||||
applications. These effects can be more pronounced if crops are growing under stressful environmental or hot and humid
|
||||
conditions. These effects occur infrequently and are temporary. Normal growth and appearance should resume within 1 to 2
|
||||
weeks.
|
||||
Replanting: If replanting is necessary in a field previously treated with RAPTOR DG, the field may be replanted to
|
||||
soybeans. Rework the soil no deeper than 2 inches. DO NOT apply a second treatment of RAPTOR DG.
|
||||
Mode of Action (MOA)
|
||||
Imazamox, the active ingredient in Raptor DG is a Group 2 (WSSA) herbicide. Herbicides in this group inhibit acetolactate
|
||||
synthase (ALS) or acetohydroxyacid synthase (AHAS), a key enzyme in the biosynthesis of the branched-chain amino acids
|
||||
isoleucine, leucine, and valine. Meristematic chlorosis, followed by general foliar chlorosis and eventual plant death results
|
||||
from events occurring in response to ALS inhibition and low branched-chain amino acid production.
|
||||
Weed Resistance Management
|
||||
Herbicide resistance could be suspected when the following three indicators occur at a site:
|
||||
• There is failure to control a weed species normally controlled by the herbicide at the dose applied, especially if control is
|
||||
achieved on adjacent weeds.
|
||||
• There is a spreading patch of non-controlled plants of a particular weed species.
|
||||
• The surviving plants are mixed with controlled individuals of the same species.
|
||||
Contact your local sales representative, crop advisor, or extension agent to find out if suspected resistant weeds to this MOA
|
||||
have been found in your region.
|
||||
Weed resistance to Group 2 herbicides is common in a number of weed species and in populations of naturally occurring
|
||||
biotypes
|
||||
* of some of the weeds listed on this label, which may not be effectively controlled by this and/or other products with
|
||||
the ALS/AHAS enzyme-inhibiting mode of action.
|
||||
Naturally occurring biotypes* of some of the weeds listed on this label may not be effectively controlled by this and/or other
|
||||
products with either the ALS/AHAS enzyme inhibiting mode of action. Other herbicides with the ALS/AHAS enzyme
|
||||
inhibiting mode of action include the sulfonylureas (e.g. Accent1, Basis1, Classic1, Concert1, Exceed2, Permit3, Pinnacle1,
|
||||
etc.), the sulfonamides (e.g., Broadstrike4, etc.) and the pyrimidyl benzoates (e.g. Staplel, etc.). If naturally occurring
|
||||
ALS/AHAS resistant biotypes are present in a field, RAPTOR DG and/or any other ALS/AHAS enzyme inhibiting mode of
|
||||
|
||||
5
|
||||
action herbicide should be tank-mixed or applied sequentially with an appropriate registered herbicide having a different
|
||||
mode of action to ensure control.
|
||||
* A weed biotype is a naturally occurring plant within a given species that has a slightly different, but distinct, genetic makeup from other plants.
|
||||
Raptor® DG herbicide is very active against many broadleaf and grass weed species. For long-term weed management, use
|
||||
at least two herbicides with different modes of action to reduce the potential for weed resistance. Crop (and herbicide)
|
||||
rotation is effective in managing weed resistance where herbicides of different modes of action are used. Tillage, where
|
||||
practical (such as in fallow production or before planting), is effective in controlling weeds to minimize resistance
|
||||
development. Additionally, a burndown herbicide during fallow or before planting is effective in reducing weed resistance
|
||||
development.
|
||||
Resistance management should be part of a diversified weed control strategy that integrates chemical, cultural and
|
||||
mechanical (tillage) control tactics. Cultural control tactics include crop rotation, proper fertilizer placement and optimum
|
||||
seeding rate/row spacing. Consult your local BASF representative, state cooperative extension service, professional
|
||||
consultants, or other qualified authority to determine appropriate actions if you suspect resistant weeds.
|
||||
Chemical Control
|
||||
• Start clean with tillage or an effective burn-down herbicide program.
|
||||
• DO NOT rely on a single herbicide mode of action for weed control.
|
||||
• Follow labeled application rate and weed growth stage specifications.
|
||||
• The use of preemergence herbicides that provide soil residual control of broadleaf and grass weeds is recommended to
|
||||
reduce early season weed competition and allow for timely in-crop postemergence herbicide applications.
|
||||
• Avoid application of herbicides with the same mode of action more than twice a season.
|
||||
• Use tank mixes and sequential applications with other herbicides possessing different modes of action (MOAs) that are also
|
||||
effective on the target weeds.
|
||||
Scouting and Containment
|
||||
• Scout fields after herbicide application to identify areas where weed control was ineffective.
|
||||
• Control weed escapes with herbicides possessing a different mode of action or use a mechanical control measure. Weed
|
||||
escapes should not be allowed to reproduce by seed or to proliferate vegetatively.
|
||||
• Scout fields before herbicide application to ensure herbicides and rates will be optimum for the weed species and weed sizes
|
||||
present. Consider application and environmental factors that may have led to incomplete control.
|
||||
• Contact your herbicide supplier and/or your local BASF representative to report weed escapes.
|
||||
• Clean equipment before moving to a different field to avoid spread of resistant weeds.
|
||||
Additional state restrictions and requirements may apply. The applicator must comply with any additional state requirements
|
||||
and restrictions.
|
||||
MIXING INSTRUCTIONS
|
||||
POSTEMERGENCE APPLICATIONS OF RAPTOR DG REQUIRE THE ADDITION OF AN ADJUVANT AND A
|
||||
NITROGEN FERTILIZER SOLUTION.
|
||||
I. ADJUVANTS
|
||||
CROP OIL CONCENTRATE: A petroleum or vegetable seed based crop oil concentrate (such as SUN-IT II5) may be
|
||||
used. SUN-IT II is recommended when weeds are under moisture or temperature stress. Use SUN-IT II or other
|
||||
methylated seed oils at the rate of 1.5 to 2 pints per acre (use the higher rate when weeds are at the maximum label size).
|
||||
or use a crop oil concentrate at 2 pints per acre.
|
||||
OR
|
||||
SURFACTANTS: Use a nonionic surfactant containing at least 80% active ingredient. Apply the surfactant at the rate of
|
||||
1 quart per 100 gallons of spray solution. An organo-silicone surfactant may be used in place of a non-ionic surfactant.
|
||||
AND
|
||||
II. NITROGEN FERTILIZER SOLUTION
|
||||
Recommended nitrogen based fertilizers include liquid fertilizers (such as 28%N, 32%N or 10-34-0) at the rate of
|
||||
1-2 quarts per acre. Use the higher rate when weeds are under moisture or temperature stress. Instead of a liquid fertilizer,
|
||||
spray grade ammonium sulfate may be used at the rate of 2.5 pounds per acre.
|
||||
NOTE: Nitrogen fertilizer solution is not required when applied in use areas south of Interstate Highway 40.
|
||||
Fill the spray tank one-third to one-half full with clean water. Add the required number of RAPTOR DG soluble packets to
|
||||
the spray tank while agitating. Add adjuvants and fill the remainder of the tank with water.
|
||||
|
||||
6
|
||||
Instructions for Using Water Soluble Packages Directly into Spray Tanks:
|
||||
Water Soluble Packages (WSPs) are designed to dissolve in water. Agitation m be used, if necessary, to help dissolve the
|
||||
WSP. Failure to follow handling and mixing instructions can increase your exposure to the pesticide products in WSPs.
|
||||
WSPs, when used properly, qualify as a closed mixing/loading system under the Agricultural Worker Protection Standard [40
|
||||
CFR 170.607(d)].
|
||||
Handling Instructions
|
||||
Follow these steps when handling pesticide products in WSPs.
|
||||
1. Mix in spray tank only.
|
||||
2. Handle WSP(s) in a manner that protects package from breakag e and/or unintended release of contents. If package is
|
||||
broken, put on PPE required for clean-up and then continue with mixing instructions.
|
||||
3. Keep the WSP(s) in outer packaging until just before use.
|
||||
4. Keep the WSP dry prior to adding to the spray tank.
|
||||
5. Handle with dry gloves and according to the label instructions for PPE.
|
||||
6. Keep WSP intact. Do not cut or puncture WSP.
|
||||
7. Reseal the WSP outer packaging to protect any unused WSP(s).
|
||||
Mixing Instructions
|
||||
Follow the steps below when mixing this product, including if tank mixed with other pesticide products. If being tank mixed,
|
||||
the mixing directions 1 through 9 below take precedence over the mixing directions of the other tank mix products. WSPs
|
||||
may, in some cases, be mixed with other pesticide products so long as the directions for use of all mixed products do not
|
||||
conflict. Do not tank mix this product with products that prohibit tank mixing or have conflicting mixing directions.
|
||||
1. If a basket or strainer is present in the tank h atch, remove prior to adding the WSP to the tank.
|
||||
2. Fill tank with water to approximately one-third to one-half of the desired final volume of spray.
|
||||
3. Stop adding water and stop any agitation.
|
||||
4. Place intact/unopened WSP(s) into the tank.
|
||||
5. Do not spray water from a hose or fill pipe to break or dissolve the WSP(s).
|
||||
6. Start mechanical and recirculation agitation from the bottom of tank without using any overhead recirculation, if possible.
|
||||
If overhead recirculation cannot be turned off, close the hatch before starting agitation.
|
||||
7. Dissolving the WSP(s) may tank up to 5 minutes or longer, depending on water temperature, water hardness and intensity
|
||||
of agitation.
|
||||
8. Stop agitation before tank lid is opened.
|
||||
9. Open the lid to the tank, exercising caution to avoid contact with dusts or spray mix, to verify that the WSPs have fully
|
||||
dissolved and the contents have been thoroughly mixed into the solution.
|
||||
10. Do not add other allowed products or complete filling the tank until the bags have fully dissolved and pesticide is
|
||||
thoroughly mixed.
|
||||
11. Once the WSP have fully dissolved and any other products have been added to the tank, resume filling the tank with
|
||||
water to the desired level, close the tank lid, and resume agitation.
|
||||
12. Use the spray solution when mixing is complete.
|
||||
13. Maintain agitation of the diluted pesticide mix during transport and application.
|
||||
14. It is unlawful to use any registered pesticide, including WSPs, in a manner inconsistent with its label.
|
||||
TANK MIX COMBINATIONS WITH OTHER HERBICIDES
|
||||
If other herbicides or other spray tank components are tank-mixed with RAPTOR DG, while agitating, add components in
|
||||
the following order and thoroughly mix after adding each component:
|
||||
1) Fill spray tank one-third to one-half full with clean water.
|
||||
2) Add soluble packet products and thoroughly mix.
|
||||
3) Add WP (wettable powder), DG (dispersible granule), DF (dry flowable) or liquid flowable formulations not in soluble
|
||||
packets.
|
||||
4) Add Raptor® DG herbicide and thoroughly mix.
|
||||
5) Add other aqueous solution products.
|
||||
6) Add EC (emulsifiable concentrate) products.
|
||||
7) Add surfactant or crop oil to the spray tank.
|
||||
8) Add nitrogen fertilizer solution.
|
||||
9) While agitating, fill the remainder of the tank with water.
|
||||
|
||||
7
|
||||
DO NOT add RAPTOR® DG herbicide packets directly into nitrogen fertilizer solution. Add nitrogen fertilizer only after
|
||||
RAPTOR DG is completely dissolved.
|
||||
To avoid injury to sensitive crops, spray equipment used for RAPTOR DG applications must be drained and thoroughly
|
||||
cleaned with water before being used to apply other products.
|
||||
When RAPTOR DG is used in combination with another herbicide, refer to the respective label for rates, methods of
|
||||
application, proper timing, weeds controlled, restrictions and precautions. Always use in accordance with the more restrictive
|
||||
label restrictions and precautions. No label dosages should be exceeded. RAPTOR DG cannot be mixed with any product
|
||||
containing a label prohibiting such mixtures.
|
||||
SPRAYING INSTRUCTIONS
|
||||
Mandatory Spray Drift Management
|
||||
Aerial Applications:
|
||||
• Do not release spray at a height greater than 10 ft above the ground or vegetative canopy, unless a greater application
|
||||
height is necessary for pilot safety.
|
||||
• Applicators are required to use a medium or coarser droplet size (ASABE S641).
|
||||
• Applicators must use 1/2 swath displacement upwind at the downwind edge of the field.
|
||||
• Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 15 mph at the application site. If the windspeed is greater than 10 mph, the boom
|
||||
length must be 65% or less of the wingspan for fixed wing aircraft and 75% or less of the rotor diameter for helicopters.
|
||||
Otherwise, the boom length must be 75% or less of the wingspan for fixed-wing aircraft and 90% or less of the rotor
|
||||
diameter for helicopters.
|
||||
• Do not apply during temperature inversions.
|
||||
Ground Boom Applications:
|
||||
• User must only apply with the release height recommended by the manufacturer, but no more than 3 feet above the
|
||||
ground or crop canopy.
|
||||
• Applicators are required to use a medium or coarser droplet size (ASAE S572.3).
|
||||
• Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 15 miles per hour at the application site.
|
||||
• 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.
|
||||
|
||||
8
|
||||
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
|
||||
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.
|
||||
DO NOT apply when wind velocity is greater than 15 mph, when temperature inversion conditions exist, or when spray may
|
||||
be carried to sensitive crops. Sensitive crops include but are not limited to leafy vegetables and sugar beet.
|
||||
GROUND APPLICATION:
|
||||
Uniformly apply with properly calibrated ground equipment in 10 or more gallons of water per acre. A spray pressure of 20
|
||||
to 40 psi is recommended.
|
||||
To ensure thorough coverage, use a minimum of 20 gallons of water per acre when applying Raptor® DG herbicide to
|
||||
minimum or no-till crops. Use higher gallonage for fields with dense vegetation or heavy crop residues.
|
||||
Adjust the boom height to ensure proper coverage of weed foliage (according to the manufacturer’s recommendation). Use
|
||||
only flat-fan nozzle tips.
|
||||
Avoid overlaps when spraying.
|
||||
GROUND APPLICATION WITH A LOW VOLUME SPRAYER
|
||||
RAPTOR DG may be applied to soybeans with a low volume (Spra-Coupe6-type) sprayer. When applying RAPTOR DG
|
||||
with a low volume sprayer, spray the weeds before they reach the maximum size listed in this label. Adequate control of
|
||||
weeds is dependent upon good spray coverage of the weeds. The sprayer must be calibrated to deliver the recommended
|
||||
spray volume and pressure to ensure adequate spray coverage of the weeds.
|
||||
When applying RAPTOR DG with a low volume sprayer, apply a minimum of 10 gallons per acre of spray solution with a
|
||||
nozzle pressure between 40-60 psi for optimum coverage.
|
||||
AERIAL APPLICATION:
|
||||
RAPTOR DG herbicide may be applied by air to soybeans.
|
||||
Uniformly apply with properly calibrated aerial equipment in 5 or more gallons of water per acre. The addition of an adjuvant
|
||||
AND fertilizer solution are required for optimum weed control. Apply a non-ionic surfactant at the rate of 1 quart per 100
|
||||
gallons of spray solution OR a crop oil concentrate at the rate of 1.25 gallons per 100 gallons of spray solution AND a
|
||||
nitrogen fertilizer solution at the rate of 1 quart per acre. (See instructions under MIXING INSTRUCTIONS).
|
||||
|
||||
9
|
||||
To avoid injury to sensitive crops from drift, aerial applicators must adhere to the following SPECIAL AERIAL USE
|
||||
DIRECTIONS AND PRECAUTIONS.
|
||||
- Nozzles must be pointed toward the rear of the aircraft. The downward angle of the nozzle should not be greater than 20
|
||||
degrees.
|
||||
- To minimize wing-tip vortex roll, nozzles or spray boom must not be located any closer to end of wing or rotor than
|
||||
three-fourths the distance from the center of the aircraft.
|
||||
- Use a maximum spray pressure of 40 psi.
|
||||
- A buffer zone must be established between the area to be sprayed and sensitive crops.
|
||||
- DO NOT spray when wind velocity is greater than 15 mph.
|
||||
Applicator is responsible for any loss or damage which results from spraying Raptor® DG herbicide in a manner other than
|
||||
recommended in this label. In addition, applicator must follow all applicable state and local regulations and ordinances in
|
||||
regard to spraying.
|
||||
APPLICATION INFORMATION
|
||||
Apply RAPTOR DG herbicide as a postemergence treatment when weeds are actively growing and before they exceed
|
||||
a height of 5 inches, unless otherwise indicated. Delay application until the majority of the weeds are at the recommended
|
||||
growth stage. Application timing should be based on weed size and not crop growth stage. Apply RAPTOR DG to crops and
|
||||
weeds that are actively growing.
|
||||
An adjuvant (either a surfactant or a crop oil concentrate) and a nitrogen fertilizer must be added to the spray solution for
|
||||
optimum weed control activity. See the ADJUVANT section under MIXING INSTRUCTIONS for specific instructions.
|
||||
When RAPTOR DG is applied postemergence, absorption will occur through both the roots and foliage. Susceptible weeds
|
||||
stop growing and either die or are not competitive with the crop. RAPTOR DG not only controls many existing broadleaf
|
||||
and grass weeds when applied postemergence, it also provides activity on susceptible weeds that may emerge shortly after
|
||||
application.
|
||||
For maximum weed control, cultivate 7 - 10 days following a postemergence RAPTOR DG application. This timely
|
||||
cultivation will enhance residual weed activity, especially under dry conditions.
|
||||
RAPTOR DG should be applied a minimum of one hour before rainfall or overhead irrigation.
|
||||
NO-TILL/MINIMUM TILLAGE AND DOUBLE CROP SOYBEANS
|
||||
RAPTOR DG controls existing weeds and provides residual activity on some weeds when applied early postemergence to
|
||||
soybeans in no-till or minimum tillage and double crop soybean production systems. The application must be applied after
|
||||
emergence of the crop. (Refer to the WEEDS CONTROLLED chart for weeds controlled and recommended weed size).
|
||||
To ensure thorough coverage, use a minimum of 20 gallons of water per acre in no-till or minimum tillage systems. Use
|
||||
higher gallonage for fields with dense vegetation or heavy crop residues.
|
||||
USE RATE
|
||||
APPLY 0.73 OUNCES OF RAPTOR DG HERBICIDE WHEN PRECEDED BY A FULL RATE OF A
|
||||
REGISTERED SOIL APPLIED GRASS HERBICIDE LIKE PROWL® 3.3 EC HERBICIDE
|
||||
(1 soluble packet treats 2.5 acres)
|
||||
OR

|
||||
POSTEMERGENCE HERBICIDE PROGRAM
|
||||
(1 soluble packet treats 2 acres)
|
||||
RAPTOR DG may be applied postemergence at a broadcast rate of 0.73 ounces per acre when preceded with a full rate of a
|
||||
registered soil applied grass herbicide like PROWL 3.3 EC. At this rate 1 soluble packet (1.82 ounces of product) will treat
|
||||
2.5 acres. RAPTOR DG may be applied postemergence at a broadcast rate of 0.91 ounces per acre (including minimum and
|
||||

If a selective postemergence grass herbicide such as PRESTIGE7, Poast Plus7, Fusilade8 2000, Fusilade8 DX, Fusion8,
|
||||
Assurel, Select9 or Option9 is mixed with RAPTOR DG to control species that are not controlled with RAPTOR DG alone,
|
||||
SUN-IT II (1.5 - 2 pints per acre) or a crop oil concentrate (2 pints per acre) AND liquid fertilizer (1-2 quarts per acre)
|
||||
should be added to the tank-mixture. In some cases the activity of the grass herbicide may be reduced when mixed with
|
||||
RAPTOR DG. The reduction in activity may be overcome by delaying the application of the postemergence grass herbicide
|
||||
7 days following the application of RAPTOR DG. If the grass herbicide is applied first, wait 3 days before applying
|
||||
RAPTOR DG. Refer to the respective grass herbicide label for recommended application rate, weed size and restrictions.
|
||||
BROADLEAF WEEDS
|
||||
Tank-mixing RAPTOR DG and broadleaf herbicides can reduce grass control, so a sequential program including a soil
|
||||
applied grass herbicide such as PROWL 3.3 EC is recommended for optimal control.
|
||||
Enhanced Control of common ragweed, Palmer amaranth, and waterhemp.
|
||||
Use a soil applied application of PROWL 3.3 EC herbicide followed by a postemergence application of RAPTOR DG at a
|
||||
broadcast rate of 0.73 to 0.91 ounces per acre plus a diphenylether such as STATUS7 (acifluorfen) for enhanced control of
|
||||
common ragweed, Palmer amaranth and waterhemps. Refer to the PROWL 3.3 EC and STATUS labels for specific use
|
||||
recommendations, rates and precautions.
|
||||
When tank-mixing RAPTOR DG and STATUS, apply RAPTOR DG at a broadcast rate of 0.91 ounces per acre or 0.73
|
||||
ounces per acre when preceded by a full rate of a registered soil applied grass herbicide. Apply STATUS at the following
|
||||
rates depending on weed height:
|
||||
STATUS Rate (ounces per acre):*
|
||||
Weed 8-10 oz. 12-14 oz. 16-20 oz.
|
||||
Ragweed, common 2-4" 4-6" 6-8"
|
||||
Palmer amaranth 2-4" 4-6" 6-8"
|
||||
Waterhemp spp. 2-4" 4-6" 6-8"
|
||||
* Use the higher rate if common ragweed is present or the weed population is high.
|
||||
When applying STATUS following a RAPTOR DG application, apply STATUS at the following rates:
|
||||
STATUS Rate (ounces per acre):*
|
||||
Weed 10-12 oz. 14-16 oz. 18-24 oz.
|
||||
Ragweed, common 2-4" 4-6" 6-8"
|
||||
Palmer amaranth 2-4" 4-6" 6-8"
|
||||
Waterhemp spp. 2-4" 4-6" 6-8"
|
||||
* Use the higher rate if common ragweed is present or the weed population is high.
|
||||

|
||||
ROTATIONAL CROPS
|
||||
The following rotational crops may be planted after applying up to 0.91 ounces per acre of Raptor® DG herbicide in
|
||||
soybeans:
|
||||
1. Anytime
|
||||
Soybeans
|
||||
2. Three months after a RAPTOR DG application:
|
||||
Wheat
|
||||
3. Four months after a RAPTOR DG application:
|
||||
Barley
|
||||
Rye
|
||||
4. Nine months after a RAPTOR DG application:
|
||||
Alfalfa Edible Beans Pumpkin
|
||||
Broccoli Grain Sorghum Rice
|
||||
Cabbage Oat Squash
|
||||
Cantaloupe Onion Sunflower
|
||||
Carrot Pea Tobacco
|
||||
Corn (field, pop, seed, sweet) Peanut Tomato
|
||||
Cotton Pepper Turnip
|
||||
Cucumber Potato Watermelon
|
||||
5. Eighteen months after a RAPTOR DG application:
|
||||
Sugar beet and table beet if the soil pH is uniformly 6.2* or greater
|
||||
All other crops including canola
|
||||
6. Twenty-six months after a RAPTOR DG application:
|
||||
Sugar beet and table beet if the soil pH is less than 6.2*.
|
||||
* Sugar beet yields can be reduced when grown in soil conditions with a pH less than 6.5. If the soil is limed to adjust the soil
|
||||
pH, apply the lime at least 18 months prior to planting sugar beet or other rotational crops under the 18 month rotational
|
||||
interval.
|
||||
Use of RAPTOR DG herbicide in accordance with label directions is expected to result in normal growth of rotational crops
|
||||
in most situations; however, various environmental and agronomic factors, such as arid conditions, make it impossible to
|
||||
eliminate all risks associated with the use of this product and, therefore, rotational crop injury is always possible.
|
||||
|
||||
19
|
||||
PRECAUTIONS
|
||||
DO NOT make more than one application per growing season.
|
||||
Only rotational crops harvested at maturity may be used for feed or food.
|
||||
There should be an interval of at least 85 days between an application of Raptor® DG herbicide and soybean harvest.
|
||||
RAPTOR DG applications must be made before soybean bloom.
|
||||
DO NOT graze or feed treated soybean forage, hay or straw to livestock.
|
||||
If soybeans are furrow irrigated, till the soil prior to planting winter wheat or barley. The beds should be broken up and the
|
||||
soil mixed with tillage equipment set to cut 4-6 inches deep.
|
||||
Except where stated on a Supplemental Label or in this label, DO NOT apply products containing chlorimuron ethyl (Classic,
|
||||
Canopy1, Synchrony1, Gemini1, Lorox Plus1, Preview1, etc.), flumetsulam (Broadstrike + Dual2, Broadstrike +
|
||||
TREFLAN4), imazaquin (SCEPTER®, SQUADRON®, TRI-SCEPT®, SCEPTER® O.T.®, SCEPTER® 70DG, STEELTM
|
||||
or DETAIL®), imazethapyr (PURSUIT®, PURSUIT® DG, PURSUIT® PLUS, PASSPORT®), or RAPTOR herbicide the
|
||||
same year as RAPTOR DG herbicide or injury to rotational crops may occur.
|
||||
If arid conditions occur during the year of application rotational crop injury may occur.
|
||||
In the event of a crop loss due to weather, soybeans can be replanted.
