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).

adjacent desirable piants. EPIC has properties thai may
|
||||
resuft in ground water contamination. Use of EPIC in areas
|
||||
where soils are permeable or coarse and groundwater is
|
||||
near the surface could result in groundwater contaminalion.

dissolution in runoff water), for several weeks after
|
||||
application. These include poorly draining or wet soils with
|
||||
readily visible slopes toward adjacent surface waters,
|
||||
frequently flooded areas, areas over-laying extremely
|
||||
shallow ground water, areas with in-field canals or drtd1es
|

GENERAL INFORMATION
|
||||
EPIC is a selective herbicide for control of important annual
|
||||
grasses and broadleaf weeds in field corn and corn grown
|
||||
for suage. EPIC i. formulaled as a 58 % water dispersible
|
||||
granule (OF). EPIC may be used in either conventional,
|
||||
conservation or no·tillage crop management systems and
|
||||
may be applied preplant surface, preplant incorporated (mix
|
||||
into the top 1 to 2 inch layer of soil) and preemergence. Do
|
||||
not apply after corn emergence or crop injury may occur
|
||||
EPIC will provide its most effective weed control when
|
||||
applied and subsequently moved into the soil by rainfall,
|
||||
sprinkler irrigation or mechanical tillage prior to weed
|
||||
emergence. EPIC has multiple modes of actions: inhibition of
|
||||
protein synthesis/cell dMsion and inhibition of enzymes that
|
||||
are essential to the protection of chlorophyll in plant leaves.
|
||||
EPIC may be applied using either watei or sprayable grade
|
||||
fluid fertilizer as a liquid carrier or be impregnated on dry
|
||||
bulk fertilizer.
|
||||
EPIC may be applied either a/one or in tank mix combination
|
||||
with additional herbicides_ When tank mixing. always
|
||||
observe all precautionary statements and limitations O;'l
|
||||
labeling of all products.
|
||||
EPIC is effective in controlling triazir.,a. or ALS..resistant
|
||||
populations of weed species.

|
||||
In the states of KS, KY, MO, and TN, if the water table (ie,
|
||||
level of saturalion) is less than 25 leet below the ground
|
||||
surface, do not use on loamy sand or sand surface son and

high oil corn hybrids or com grov..," for seed.
|
||||
Corn hybrids vary in their response to EPIC. Consult your
|
||||
seed corn company andlor your local Bayer representative
|
||||
for advice on varleties before applying EPIC. If the tolerance
|
||||
of a com hybrHj is not known, apply EPIC to a small area to
|
||||
first determine if this hybrid is tolerant prior to spraying large
|
||||
scale acreages of that hybrid.
|
||||
Plantlng depth: Com seed should be planted a minimum of
|
||||
1-1/2 inches deep and must be compfetety covered wrth soil
|
||||
or reduced crop stand or injury may occur.
|
||||
Application: Apply EPiC only with ground equipment 00
|
||||
not apply this product using aerial appljcation equipment 00
|
||||
not apply this product through any type of irrigation system
|
||||
nor use ftood irrigation for activation or incorporation.
|

|
||||
Do not exceed maximum \abelet1 rate for soil type. Spray
|
||||
overlaps produce areas 01 over application which
|
||||
increase the potential for crop damage.
|
||||
Do not make more than one app1ication of EPIC per season.
|
||||
If soli pH is:> 7.5 on coarse textured soils, do not use EPIC.
|
||||
On medium textured soils, !f pH is > 7.5 and organic matter
|
||||
content is < 2.5% by weight, llse of EPIC is not
|
||||
recommended.
|
||||
Effect of adverse weather: FoHowir:g an application of
|
||||
EPIC, extended periods of cool/cold. wet conditions
|
||||
(cool/cold daytime\nighttime temperatures, saturated soil
|
||||
conditions, recurring rainfall events, etc.) during com seed
|
||||
getmination andlor early ClOp devebpment perrod may result
|
||||
in temporary crop injury. Injury symptoms may appear as
|
||||
leaf tissue bleaching (whitening) andior crop stunting. Com
|
||||
plants usualty recover from this injury without affecting yield.
|
||||
Effeet ot varlatM sons on use rate: The proper use rate
|
||||
of EPIC is affected by several soil factors. including soil
|
||||
texture, organic matter, and soil pH. Soils which contain
|
||||
variations in one or more of these factors in a gwen area are
|
||||
tenned variable soils and may be more likely to incur
|
||||
localized com injuty symptoms from an application of EPIC,
|
||||
especially in those focalized ares cc1taining a more COarse
|
||||
soil texture, a tower organK:. matter and/or a higher pH
|
||||
(alkaline/calcareous) soil iI',an other areas of the same field.
|
||||
The user is responsible for selecting the rate of EPIC that is
|
||||
appropriate for all soils in the area of apptication.
|
||||
In the event of crop failure: If the com crop treated with
|
||||
EPIC is lost. only corn may be replanted immediately. QQ
|
||||
oot make a second appJicatJon of EPIC.
|
||||
RATE SELECTION/SOIL TEXTURE
|
||||
The recommended rates of EPIC are defined by texture and
|
||||
organic matter content of the soil being treated. Unless a
|
||||
specffic soil texture is mentioned, rate tables tllroughout this
|
||||
label refer to the following three soil texture groups: coarse,
|
||||
medium and fine. If you are not sure how to classify your
|
||||
soil, contact your Bayer Corporation representative, the
|
||||
Cooperative Extension Service or O!her knowiedgeable

EPIC is a dry flowable herbicide that must be mixed in water
|
||||
Of sprayabte ftuid fertilizer. EPIC can be directly added to
|
||||
waler, or 2E1-O-0 or 32-0.j) liquid fertilizers. Compatibility of
|
||||
EPIC wijh ijs labeled tank mix prod":::!s in other liquid
|
||||
carriers should always be predetermined prior to spraying.
|
||||
Refer to the COMPATIBILITY TEST (Appendix I) of this label
|
||||
to determine product compatibility in fluid carriers.
|
||||
Before mixing EPIC and its labeled tank mixtures, examine
|
||||
the spray equipment making sura n is completely free of rust
|
||||
and corrosion. Be sure the equipment i. free 01 any residues
|
||||
trom previously used pesticides. Flush the lines with clean

water or recommended d~tergents after the last application.
|
||||
Use an approved method for disposing of rinsate.
|
||||
For optimal spray tank mixing convenience and efficiency,
|
||||
EPIC is recommended to be aooed to the spray tank via an
|
||||
eductor system.
|
||||
The proper mixing seQuence for EPiC and recommended
|
||||
tank mixtures with the appropriate liquid camer is as follows:
|
||||
i. Fill the spray tank c~ nurse tank 1/4 full with the
|
||||
appropriate liquid carrier.
|
||||
2. Start the recirc:.Jlat!on and agrtation system and continue
|
||||
throughout mixing and appltcation.
|
||||
3. If the compatibility test indicates the need of a
|
||||
compatibility agent, add the recommended amount to the
|
||||
spray tank
|
||||
4. If ammonium sutfate is to be used, add it now.
|
||||
S. Next add the recorcmendec quantity of EPIC through the
|
||||
eductor system or to the spray tank !slowly add EPIC if
|
||||
water or sprayable grade nit~ogen fertilizers (28-0-0,
|
||||
32·0-0) are the carrters; for other sprayable grade
|
||||
fertilizers fir.st check compatibility and then either mix
|
||||
directly or preslurry EPIC first in water depending on the
|
||||
results of the compatibility test].
|
||||
6. If tank mixing WIth wettable powders or other dry ftowable
|
||||
products, in water as the carrier, they may be added now.
|
||||
If tank-mixing these products in a sprayable grade
|
||||
fertilizer carrier, first preslurry these products with water if
|
||||
Indicated on their Pfoductlabel or by the results of the
|
||||
compatibility test and then slowly add them to the
|
||||
sprayable grade fe.1ilizer canier.
|
||||
7. If tank mixing with suspension concentrates, add the
|
||||
Pfoducts to the spray tank.
|
||||
8. If tank mixing with emulsifiable concentrates, add the
|
||||
products to the spray tank.

APPLICATION tNFORM~TtON
|
||||
SPRAYER APPLICATION
|
||||
Ground Broadcast Treatment: Accurately calibrate the
|
||||
sprayer prior to mixing the herbicide treatments. Apply EPIC
|
||||
and the labeled tank mixtures in a minimum of 10 gallons of
|
||||
total spray volume per acre using broadcast boom
|
||||
equipment. Application mllSt be made at a sufficient spray
|
||||
pressure and volume to provide accurate and uniform
|
||||
application of spray particles to a given area without C8USil"lg
|
||||
spray drift to non-target areas. If mixed with other labeled
|
||||
herbicides, the spray volume may be no less than the
|
||||
minimum volume recommended by any tank mix product
|
||||
used or 10 gallons, whichever is greater. Use appropriately
|
||||
sized mesh screens and in-line strainers. Agitate thoroughly
|
||||
before and during application with either bypass or
|
||||
mechanical agitation. Rinse the sprayer thoroughly with
|
||||
clean water immediately after each use.
|
||||
APPLICATION METHODS AND TIMINGS
|
||||
EPIC may be applied either alone or in recommended tank
|
||||
mixtures in conventional, conservation or no-till crop
|
||||
management systems. Applications may be made preplant
|
||||
surface, preplant incorporated or preemergence. Do not
|
||||
make more than one application of EPIC per use season. 00
|
||||
not apply when environmental conditions favor drift.
|
||||
Preplant Surface: EPIC alone or as a recommended tank
|
||||
mixture may be applied as a broadcast spray up to 21 days
|
||||
before planting com. EPIC may be apptied up to 30 days
|
||||
prior to planting when used in conjunction with an
|
||||
appropriate planned sequential herbicide application. If
|
||||
possible, do not move treated soil out of the row or move
|
||||
untreated soil to the soil surface during planting, since weed
|
||||
control may be reduced.
|
||||
Preplant Incorporation: Apply EPIC alone or in combinaHon
|
||||
with recommended tank mixes as a broadcast spray and
|
||||
incorporate into the upper 1 to 2 inches of the soil surface up
|
||||
to 21 days before planting. EPIC may be applied up to 30
|
||||
days prior to planting when used in conjunction with an
|
||||
appropriate planned sequential herbicide application. Avotd
|
||||
deep incorporation since reduced weed control and/or crop
|
||||
injury may resutt. Incorporate with impkmlents which provide
|
||||
uniform. shal/ow incorporation (Example- finishing disk,
|
||||
harrow, rol/ing cuijivator, field cUijivator. etc.)
|
||||
Preemergence: EPIC alone and its recommended tank
|
||||
mixes may be applied to the soli surface during planting
|
||||
(behind the planter after furrow dosure) or after planting of
|
||||
the crop but prior to weed or crop emergence. Ensure that
|
||||
the seed furrow is dosed prior to herbicide application or
|
||||
crop injury may resuji. Rainfall and lor overhead sprinkler
|
||||
irrigation is necessari to move EPfC into the upper soif
|
||||
surface where weed seeds germinate. Dry weather
|
||||
conditions following application may reduce weed control. if
|
||||
adequate moisture is flot received within 7 to 10 days after
|
||||
application and weeds begin to emerge from the soil, a ligr·t
|
||||
rotary hoeing or shallow incorporation (no deeper than 1/2
|
||||
inch deep) will improve performance and minimize crop
|
||||
damage. Excessive rainfall or irrigation after application may
|
||||
reduce weed control and/or increase crop damage.
|
||||
Preplant I Preemergence Burndown: If weeds are
|
||||
present at the time of treatment, a tank-mixture of EPIC with
|
||||
crop oil concentrate or methylated seed oil is recommended
|
||||
for burndown control of labeled weeds less than 3 inches in
|
||||
height. If weeds greater than 3 inches in height or weeds
|
||||
/
|
||||
|
||||
1 '9 --00; .,: :3 [:,-:;'! ';
|
||||
not controlled by EPIC ale present, the addijion of a
|
||||
nonselective herbicide such as Gramoxone Extra,
|
||||
Touchdown or a glyphosate-containing product is
|
||||
recommended. For additional braodleaf weed control, a
|
||||
recommended formulation of 2.4·D may also be added. If
|
||||
giant ragweed or Pennsylvania smartweed are present at
|
||||
time of application, the addition of atrazine will improve
|
||||
control. Observe directions for use, precautions and
|
||||
restrictions on the labels of all products selected for a
|
||||
burndown tank.-mixture. Burndown tank-mixtures containing
|
||||
atrazine will result in the burndown of labeled broad leaf
|
||||
weeds less than 6 inches in height.
|
||||
WEEDS CONTROLLED! SUPPRESSED
|
||||
EPIC applied at recommended dosages and application
|

APPENDIX I
|

COMPATIBILITY TEST
|
||||
A compatibility test is highly recommended for all
|
||||
applicat,ons with liquid fertilizers. Pnor to mixing products in
|
||||
the spray tank, small quantities of each product can be
|
||||
mixed in proportionate quantities 10 evaluate compatibilities,
|
||||
The following test assumes a spray volume of 25 gallons per
|
||||
acre, If other spray volumes are to be used, adjust the
|
||||
appropriate amounts of ingredients. To ched<. for
|
||||
compatibility, use the following procedure:
|
||||
1. Add two inches of the liquid carrier (water or liquid
|
||||
ferti~jzer) to a one-quart jar fitted with a tight lid.
|
||||
2. Add the appropriate amount of herbicide. If more than one
|
||||
product is used, the recommended mix sequence is the
|
||||
dry herbicide first, flowables next and emulsified
|
||||
