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 Marta Paciorek, PhD:
|
||||
The amended labeling referred to above, submitted in connection with registration under the Federal
|
||||
Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act, as amended, is acceptable.
|
||||
This approval does not affect any terms or conditions that were previously imposed on this registration. You
|
||||
continue to be subject to existing terms or conditions on your registration and any deadlines connected with
|
||||
them.
|
||||
A stamped copy of your labeling is enclosed for your records. This labeling supersedes all previously
|
||||
accepted labeling. You must submit one (1) copy of the final printed labeling before you release this 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 18 months from the date of this letter. After 18 months, you
|
||||
may only distribute or sell this product if it bears this new revised labeling or subsequently approved labeling.
|
||||

|
||||
The label submitted with the application has been stamped "Accepted Only Indicated Revisions Reviewed"
|
||||
and is enclosed for your records.
|
||||
Should you wish to add/retain a reference to your company’s website on your label, then please be aware that
|
||||
the website becomes labeling under FIFRA and is subject to review by EPA. If the website is false or
|
||||
misleading, the product will be considered to be misbranded and sale or distribution of the product is unlawful
|
||||

PRODUCT INFORMATION
|
||||
BYI 02960 480 FS:
|
||||
|
||||
x is a seed treatment insecticide that, when applied to seed, protects the seed and seedling against certain early season insects.
|
||||
As a result of the protection, there is an improvement in plant vigor, which often results in more uniform plants and greater
|
||||
yields.
|
||||
|
||||
USE RESTRICTIONS
|
||||
x Regardless of type of application (seed treatment or foliar), do not apply more than 0.365 lb (Soybean) and 0.274 lb (Canola
|
||||
including Brassica napus, Brassica rapa, Brassica juncea and Rapeseed) of active ingredient flupyradifurone per acre per
|
||||
season.
|
||||
x Only for use in commercial seed treatment facilities. Not for use in hopper box, planter box, slurry box, or other on-farm see d
|
||||
treatment applications.
|
||||
x All seed treated with this product must be colored with an EPA- approved dye or colorant that imparts an unnatural color to the
|
||||
seed to help prevent the inadvertent use of treated seed for food, feed, or oil purposes.
|
||||
x Excess treated seed may be used for ethanol production only if (1) by-products are not used for livestock feed and (2) no
|
||||
measureable residues of pesticide remain in ethanol by products that are used in agronomic practice.
|
||||
|
||||
APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
|
||||
x All seed treated with this product must be colored with an EPA- approved dye or colorant that imparts an unnatural color to the
|
||||
seed to help prevent the inadvertent use of treated seed for food, feed, or oil purposes.
|
||||
x Apply BYI 02960 480 FS as a commercial water-based slurry eith er alone or with other registered seed treatment insecticides
|
||||
or fungicides through standard slurry or mist commercial seed treatment equipment. Follow the most restrictive of the labeling
|
||||
limitations and precautions of all products used in mixtures. Treated seed must be labeled in accordance with the requirements
|
||||
of the Federal Seed Act.
|
||||
x May be used in combination with other registered Bayer CropScience seed treatment fungicides and/or insecticides. Pre-test for
|
||||
compatibility with other seed treatment products.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
COMPATIBILITY TESTING AND TANK MIX PARTNERS
|
||||
|
||||
Compatibility
|
||||
Application to seed must be done in commercial seed treatment facilities utilizing standard slurry treaters. It is essential that before using
|
||||
BYI 02960 480 FS seed treatment in any tank mixture the compatibility of the mixture be established. Add BYI 02960 480 FS at the
|
||||
labeled rate to a clean quart jar containing approximately one-half the amount of water intended for a final slurry application rate. Next,
|
||||
follow with all other tank mix components that will be used in the total slurry application. Add last the remaining balance of water. The
|
||||
total amount of volume is determined by the seed size and how much is necessary to ensure complete and uniform coverage and
|
||||
distribution on the seed, as well as the type of commercial seed treating application equipment that will be used.
|
||||
DO NOT USE MIXTURES THAT CURDLE, PRECIPITATE, OR GEL. USE TANK MIXTURES IMMEDIATELY AFTER MIXING WITH
|
||||
ADEQUATE AGITATION.
|
||||
|
||||
Order of Mixing
|
||||
1. When applied with seed treatment application equipment designed to treat seed utilizing a treatment slurry mixture, add
|
||||
approximately ½ to Ҁ of the required water to the treatment slurry tank followed by the accompanying seed treatment products
|
||||
and BYI 02960 480 FS. The order of product addition is dependant on the accompanying seed treatment products and
|
||||
application equipment used.
|
||||
2. Allow each slurry component to disperse completely prior to the next addition until a uniform suspension is obtained.
|
||||
3. After all slurry components have been added and dispersed completely add the remaining ½ to ѿ of required water for proper
|
||||
slurry volume and mix until uniform. Do not store mixed slurries for greater than 72 hours.
|
||||
|
||||
6
|
||||
4. Maintain adequate agitation until treatment slurry is applied.
|
||||
For additional instructions for use, slurry component mixing order, and other application suggestions contact your Bayer CropScience
|
||||
representative.

||||
|
||||
|
||||
INSECTICIDE RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT (IRAC) RECOMMENDATIONS
|
||||
For resistance management, BYI 02960 480 FS contains a Group 4D insecticide. Any insect population may contain individuals naturally
|
||||
resistant to BYI 02960 480 FS and other Group 4D insecticides. The resistant individuals may dominate the insect population if this
|
||||
group of insecticides are used repeatedly in the same fields. Appropriate resistance-management strategies should be followed.
|
||||
To delay insecticide resistance, take one or more of the following steps:
|
||||
Rotate the use of BYI 02960 480 FS or other Group 4D insecticides within a growing season, or among growing seasons, with different
|
||||
groups that control the same pests.
|
||||
|
||||
x Use tank mixtures with insecticides from a different group th at 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):
|
||||
x 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.
|
||||
x Mixtures with components having the same IRAC mode of action classification are not recommended for insect
|
||||
resistance management.
|
||||
x When using mixtures, consider any known cross-resistance issues between the individual components for the targeted
|
||||
pest(s).
|
||||
x Mixtures become less effective if resistance is already developing to one or both active ingredients, but they may still
|
||||
provide pest management benefits.
|
||||
x The insect resistance management benefits of an insecticid e mixture are greatest if 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 progr am for insecticide 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 advisors for any additional pesticide resistance-management and/or IPM
|
||||
recommendations for the specific site and pest problems in your area.
|
||||
x For further information or to report suspected resistance contact Bayer CropScience at 1-866-99BAYER (1-866-992-2937).

INSECTICIDE RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT (IRAC) RECOMMENDATIONS
|
||||
For resistance management, BYI 02960 480 FS contains a Group 4D insecticide. Any insect population may contain individuals naturally
|
||||
resistant to BYI 02960 480 FS and other Group 4D insecticides. The resistant individuals may dominate the insect population if this
|
||||
group of insecticides are used repeatedly in the same fields. Appropriate resistance-management strategies should be followed.
|
||||
To delay insecticide resistance, take one or more of the following steps:
|
||||
Rotate the use of BYI 02960 480 FS or other Group 4D insecticides within a growing season, or among growing seasons, with different
|
||||
groups that control the same pests.
|
||||
|
||||
x Use tank mixtures with insecticides from a different group th at 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):
|
||||
x 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.
|
||||
x Mixtures with components having the same IRAC mode of action classification are not recommended for insect
|
||||
resistance management.
|
||||
x When using mixtures, consider any known cross-resistance issues between the individual components for the targeted
|
||||
pest(s).
|
||||
x Mixtures become less effective if resistance is already developing to one or both active ingredients, but they may still
|
||||
provide pest management benefits.
|
||||
x The insect resistance management benefits of an insecticid e mixture are greatest if 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 insecticide 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 advisors for any additional pesticide resistance-management and/or IPM
|
||||
recommendations for the specific site and pest problems in your area.
|
||||
