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).

PRODUCT INFORMATION
|
||||
FLUFENACET 4 SC HERBICIDE is a selective herbicide for control of many annual grasse s and certain broadleaf weeds in field corn ,
|
||||
white corn, corn grown for silage, field corn grown for seed, sweet corn, and soybeans. FLUFENACET 4 SC HERBICIDE may be applied
|
||||
preplant surface, preplant incorporated (mix into the top 1 to 2 inch layer of soil) and preemergence and/ or early postemergenc e.
|
||||
FLUFENACET 4 SC HERBICIDE will provide its most effective weed control when applied and subseque ntly moved into the soil by
|
||||
rainfall, sprinkler irrigation or mechanical tillage prior to weed emergence.
|
||||
FLUFENACET 4 SC HERBICIDE may be applied using either water or sprayable fluid fertilizer as a liquid carrier.
|
||||
FLUFENACET 4 SC HERBICIDE may be applied either alone or in tank mix combination with additional herbicides. When tank
|
||||
mixing, always observe all precautionary statements and limitations on labeling of all products.
|
||||
Dry weather following preemergence application of FLUFENACET 4 SC HERBICIDE or recommended tank mixtures may reduce
|
||||
effectiveness. Cultivate if weeds develop.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
mixtures or rinsates.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
SPRAY DRIFT
|
||||
|
||||
1. When using ground application equipment, apply with nozzle height no more than 4 feet above the ground or crop
|
||||
canopy.
|
||||
2. Applicators are required to use Medium droplet size (ASABE SS72.l).
|
||||
3. Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 10 miles per hour at the application site.
|
||||
4. Do not apply during temperature inversions.
|
||||
|
||||
5
|
||||
|
||||
SPRAY DRIFT ADVISORIES
|
||||
|
||||
The interaction of many equipm ent and weather-related factors determines the potential for spra y drift. The applicator is
|
||||
responsible for considering all these factors when making application decisions.
|
||||
|
||||
IMPORTANCE OF DROPLET SIZE
|
||||
The most effective way to reduce drift pote ntial is to apply large drople ts. The best drift management strategy is to apply the
|
||||
largest droplets that provide sufficient coverage and control. The presence of se nsitive species nearby, the environmental
|
||||
conditions, and pest pressure may affect how an applicator balances drift control and coverage. APPLYING LARGER DROPLETS
|
||||
REDUCES DRIFT POTENTIAL, BUT WILL NOT PREVENT DRIFT IF APPLICATIONS ARE MADE IMPROPERLY OR UNDER
|
||||
UNFAVORABLE ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS! See Wind, Temperature and Humidity, and Temperature Inversions sections
|
||||
of this label.
|
||||
|
||||
Controlling Droplet Size
|
||||
x Volume - Use high flow rate nozzles to apply the highest prac tical spray volume . Nozzles with higher rated flows produce
|
||||
larger droplets.
|
||||
x Pressure - Use the lower spray pressures recommended for th e nozzle. Higher pressure reduces droplet size and does
|
||||
not improve canopy penetration. WHEN HIGHER FLOW RATES ARE NEEDED, USE A HIGHER- CAPACITY NOZZLE
|
||||
INSTEAD OF INCREASING PRESSURE.
|
||||
x Nozzle Type - Use a nozzle type that is designed for the intended application. With most nozzle types, narrower spray
|
||||
angles produce larger droplets. Consider using low-drift nozzles.
|
||||
|
||||
BOOM HEIGHT
|
||||
Setting the boom at the lowest referenced height (if specified) which provides uniform coverage reduces the exposure of droplets
|
||||
to evaporation and wind. For ground equipment, the boom should remain level with the crop and have minimal bounce.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
WIND
|
||||
Drift potential increases at wind speeds of less than 3 mph (due to inversion potential) or more than 10 mph. However, many
|
||||
factors, including droplet size and equipment type determine drift potential at any given wind speed. AVOID APPLICATIONS
|
||||
DURING GUSTY OR WINDLESS CONDITIONS.
|
||||
Note: Local terrain can influence wind patt erns. Every applicator should be familiar with local wind patterns and how they affe ct
|
||||
spray drift.
|
||||
|
||||
TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY
|
||||
When making applications in hot and dry conditions, set up equipment to produce larger droplets to reduce effects of evaporation.
|
||||
|
||||
TEMPERATURE INVERSIONS
|
||||
Drift potential is high during a temperature inversion. Temper ature inversions restrict vertic al air mixing, which causes small
|
||||
suspended droplets to remain close to th e ground and move laterally in a concentrated cloud. Temperature inversions are
|
||||
characterized by increasing temperature with altitude and are common on nights with lim ited cloud cover and light to no wind.
|
||||
They begin to form as the sun sets and often continue into the morning. Their presence can be indicated by ground fog; however,
|
||||
if fog is not present, inversions can also be identified by the movement of smoke from a ground so urce 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.
|
||||
|
||||
SHIELDED SPRAYERS
|
||||
Shielding the boom or individual nozzles can reduce the effects of wind. However, it is the responsibility of the applicator to verify
|
||||
that the shields are preventing drift and not interfering with uniform deposition of the product.
|
||||
|
||||
POLLINATOR ADVISORY STATEMENT
|
||||
This product contains an herbicide, therefore follow all label directions and precautions to minimize potential off-target exposure
|
||||
in order to prevent effects to non-target plants adjacent to the treate d site which may serve as habitat or forage for pollinat ors,
|
||||
including monarch butterflies (and larvae), birds, and bats.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT
|
||||
FLUFENACET 4 SC HERBICIDE is a Group 15 Herbicide (inhibition of very long chain fatty acids). A given weed population may
|
||||
contain or develop resistance to a herbicide after repeated use. Appropriate resistance-management strategies should be followed to
|
||||
mitigate or delay resistance. The following Integrated Weed Management Techniques are effective in reducing problems with herbicide
|
||||
resistant weed biotypes. It is best to use multiple practices to manage or delay resistance, as no single strategy is likely to be totally
|
||||
effective.
|
||||
|
||||
x Rotate crops. Crop rotation diversifies weed management.
|
||||
x Rotate herbicide-tolerant traits. Alternate herbicide-tolerant (HT) traits and/or use HT trait stacks for more efficient rotation.
|
||||
|
||||
6
|
||||
|
||||
x Use multiple herbicide sites of action. Use tankmix partners and multiple SOAs during both the growing season and from
|
||||
year to year to reduce the selection pressure of a single SOA.
|
||||
x Know your weeds, know your fields. Closely monitor problematic areas with difficult-to-control weeds or dense weed
|
||||
populations.
|
||||
x Start with clean fields. Effective tillage or the use of a burndown herbicide program can control emerged weeds prior to
|
||||
planting.
|
||||
x Stay clean – use residual herbicides. Regardless of tillage system, pre-emergence or early post-emergence soil-applied
|
||||
residual herbicides should be used when possible.
|
||||
x Apply herbicides correctly. Ensure proper application, including timing, full use-rates and appropriate spray volumes.
|
||||
x Control weed escapes. Consider spot herbicide applications, row wicking, cultivation or hand removal of weeds or other
|
||||
techniques to stop weed seed production and improve weed management.
|
||||
x Zero tolerance – reduce the seed bank. Do not allow surviving weeds to set seed, which will help decrease weed
|
||||
populations from year to year and prevent major weed shifts.
|
||||
x Clean equipment. Prevent the spread of herbicide-resistant weeds and their seeds.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
management or IPM recommendation. Also for more information on Weed Resistance Management, visit the Herbicide Resistance

FLUFENACET 4 SC HERBICIDE is a flowable herbicide that must be mixed in water or sprayable f luid fertilizer. Compatibility of
|
||||
FLUFENACET 4 SC HERBICIDE or its labeled tank mix products with these liquid carriers should always be determined prior to spraying.
|
||||
Refer to the SPRAYABLE FLUID FERTILIZER COMPATIBILITY TEST (App endix I) of this label to determine product compatibility in
|
||||
fluid fertilizer carriers.
|
||||
Before mixing FLUFENACET 4 SC HERBICIDE and its labeled tank mixtures, examine the spray equipment making sure it is completely
|
||||
clean and free of rust or corrosion. Be sure the equipment is free of any residues from previously used pesticides. Flush lines with clean
|
||||
water or recommended detergents after the last application. Use an approved method for disposing of rinsate.
|
||||
For optimum spray tank mixing and efficacy, FLUFENACET 4 SC HERBICIDE is recommended to be added to the spray tank via an
|
||||
eductor system.
|
||||
The proper mixing sequence for FLUFENACET 4 SC HERBICIDE and recommended tank mixtures with the appropriate liquid carrier is
|
||||
as follows:
|
||||
1. Fill the spray tank or nurse tank 1/4 full with the appropriate liquid carrier.
|
||||
2. Start recirculation and agitation system and continue throughout mixing and application.
|
||||
3. If the compatibility test in dicates the need of a compatibility agent, add the recommended amount of compatibility agent to the spray
|
||||
tank.
|
||||
4. If ammonium sulfate is to be used, add it now.
|
||||
5. Next add the specified quantity of F LUFENACET 4 SC HERBICIDE through the educ tor or to the spray tank [slowly add
|
||||
FLUFENACET 4 SC HERBICIDE if water or sprayable grade nitrogen fertilizers (28-0-0, 32-0-0) are the carriers; for other sprayable
|
||||
grade fertilizers first check compatibility and then either mix directly or preslurry in water depending in the results of the compatibility
|
||||
test].
|
||||
6. If tank mixing with wettable powders or dry fl owable products in water, they may be added now.
|
||||
|
||||
7
|
||||
|
||||
If tank mixing these products in a sprayable fertilizer carrier, first make a slurry of the products with water and then add t he slurry
|
||||
slowly to the spray tank.
|
||||
7. If tank mixing with emulsifiable concentrates or soluble products, add the products to the spray tank.
|
||||
8. If tank mixing with a glyphosate-co ntaining product or Touchdown®, add the products to the spray tank.
|
||||
9. If mixing spray adjuvants in the mixture, ad d them after all other products have been mixed.
|
||||
10. Fill the spray tank to the desired level with the appropriate liquid carrier.
|
||||
11. Continue agitation during transport and application until the spray tank is empty.
|
||||
FLUFENACET 4 SC HERBICIDE and all registered mixtures should be kept agitated once mixed and then sprayed immediately. Do not
|
||||
allow mixtures to stand for prolonged periods of time. Water quality, pH, temperature and/or other components of the mixture may affect
|
||||
how long the mixture may stand before application.
|
||||
|
||||
APPLICATION INFORMATION
|
||||
SPRAYER APPLICATION
|
||||
Ground Broadcast Treatment: Accurately calibrate the sprayer prior to mixing the herbicide treatments. Apply FLUFENACET 4 SC
|
||||
HERBICIDE and the labeled tank mixtures in a minimum of 10 gallons of total spray volume per acre using broadcast boom equipment.
|
||||
Use a pump with capacity to ma intain 30 to 40 psi at the no zzles, maintain adequate in-tank agitation to keep the spray mixture in
|
||||
suspension and provide a minimum of 20% bypass at all times. If mixed with other labeled herbicides, the spray volume may be no less
|
||||
than the minimum volume specified by the tank mix product or 10 gallons, whichever is greater. The use of screens to protect the pump
|
||||
and nozzles is recommended. Screens placed on the suction side of the pump should be 16-mesh or coarser. Do not place a screen in
|
||||
the recirculation line. Use 50-mesh or coarser screens between the pump and boom, and where required, at the nozzles. Refer to the
|
||||
nozzle manufacturer for additional recommendations. Agitate thoroughly before and during application with either bypass or mechanical
|
||||
agitation. Rinse the sprayer thoroughly with clean water immediately after each use.
|
||||
Band Treatment: FLUFENACET 4 SC HERBICIDE and the labeled tank mixtures may be applied as a band treatment. Use the
|
||||
following formula to calculate the amount of herbicide needed for band treatments:
|
||||
Band width in inches X Broadcast rate = Band rate
|
||||
Row width in inches per acre per acre
|
||||
APPLICATION METHODS AND TIMING
|
||||
FLUFENACET 4 SC HERBICIDE may be applied eith er alone or in tank mixtur es with or sequentially with certain other registered an d
|
||||
recommended herbicides. Applicatio ns may be made preplant surface, preplant in corporated or preemergence. FLUFENACET 4 SC
|
||||
HERBICIDE may be used in either a single or split application program.
|
||||
Preplant Surface: For use in conservation, minimum or no- tillage crop production systems, FLUFENACET 4 SC HERBICIDE alone or
|
||||
as a recommended tank mixture may be applied as a broadcast spray up to 45 days before planting in corn and 14 days before planting
|
||||
in soybeans. A split application is recommended for applications made 30 to 45 days prior to planting, where 2/3 of the highest specified
|
||||
broadcast rate for the crop and soil texture is applied initially and the remaining 1/3 is applied at planting. Treatments made less than 30
|
||||
days before planting may use either a single or split application. If weeds are present at the time of application, apply the FLUFENACET
|
||||
4 SC HERBICIDE treatment in tank mixture wi th a recommended nonselective foliar herbic ide. If possible, do not move treated soi l out
|
||||
of the row or move untreated soil to the soil surface prior to or during planting, as weed control may be reduced.
|
||||
Preplant Incorporation: Apply FLUFENACET 4 SC HERBICIDE alone or in combination with recommended tank-mixes as a broadcast
|
||||
spray and incorporate into the up per 1 to 2 inches of the soil surface up to 14 days before plan ting. Avoid deep incorporation since
|
||||
reduced weed control and/or crop injury may result. Incorporate with implements which provide uniform, shallow incorporation (example
|
||||
-finishing disk, harrow, rolling cultivator, etc.)
|
||||
Preemergence: FLUFENACET 4 SC HERBICIDE alone and its recommended tank mixes may be applied to the soil surface as a
|
||||
broadcast spray or band application after pla nting of the crop but prior to weed or cro p emergence. If weeds are present at the time of
|
||||
application, apply FLUFENACET 4 SC HERBICIDE with a nonselectiv e foliar herbicide. Rainfall and/or overhead sprinkler irrigatio n is
|
||||
necessary to move FLUFENACET 4 SC HERBIC IDE into the upper soil surface where we ed seeds germinate. Dry weather conditions
|
||||
following application may reduce weed control. If adequate mois ture is not received within 7 to 10 days after applications and weeds
|
||||
begin to emerge from the soil, a light 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.
|
||||
Early Postemergence: When used as an early postemer gence treatment, FLUFENACET 4 SC HE RBICIDE may be applied once per
|
||||
year alone or in combination with or sequentially with certain herbicides. Use of an adjuvant is recommended in some applications. Refer
|
||||
to crop sections of the label for specific information.
|
||||
Special Applications: Fall Application (for use only in IA, MN, ND, SD, WI, north of Route 20 in NE, north of Route 136 in IL, and north
|
||||
of Interstate 70 in OH):
|
||||
Following harvest of crops in the fall, F LUFENACET 4 SC HERBICIDE may be applied to crop stubble after Oc tober 15, when the
|
||||
sustained soil temperature at the four-inch soil depth is less than 50o F, but before the ground is frozen. This application is limited to only
|
||||
medium- and fine-textured soils with an organic matter of 2.5% or greater and which will be planted to corn the following spring. The soil
|
||||
may be tilled before or after application with incorporation dept h no more than two to three in ches following herbicide applica tion. If a
|
||||
|
||||
8
|
||||
|
||||
spring application of FLUFENACET 4 SC HERBICIDE follows the fall application, the total FLUFENACET 4 SC HERBICIDE rate for both
|
||||
applications must not exceed 25 fluid ounces.
|
||||
CORN (Field, Seed, and Sweet)
|
||||
FLUFENACET 4 SC HERBICIDE flowable herbicide is a selective he rbicide for control of most annual grasses and selected annual
|
||||
broadleaf weeds in corn. A maximum of two applications may be made alone or in tank-mix combination with certain registered herbicides.
|
||||
The following types of applications are allowe d: preplant surface, preplant incorporat ed and preemergence and early postemergence.
|
||||
Most effective weed control will occur when the applied product is moved into the soil by rainfall, sprinkler irrigation or mechanical tillage
|
||||
prior to weed emergence from the soil.
|
||||
For post-emergent use in Corn: The REI is 23 days. Exception: In addition to the early entry exceptions allowed by the Worker Protection
|
||||
Standard, you may enter or allow workers to enter treated areas to scout 3 days following application as long as the worker wea rs long
|
||||
pants, long sleeved shirt and shoes plus socks.
|
||||
Special Precautions: Field seed corn inbred lines and sweet corn varieties may vary in th eir response to FLUFENACET 4 SC
|
||||
HERBICIDE. Do not apply FLUFENACET 4 SC HERBICIDE to inbreds without first verifying with your local seed corn company (supplier)
|
||||
the FLUFENACET 4 SC HERBICIDE selectivity on your inbred line.

FLUFENACET 4 SC HERBICIDE USE RATES IN FALL, PREPLANT SURFACE, PREPLANT INCORPORATED AND
|
||||
PREEMERGENCE APPLICATIONS AND EARLY POSTEMERGENCE
|
||||
For FALL Application ( For use only in IA, MN, ND, SD, WI, north of Rout e 20 in NE, north of Rout e 136 in IL, and north of
|
||||
Interstate 70 in OH):
|
||||
After October 15, when the susta ined soil temperature at the four inch soil depth is less than 50 o F, FLUFENACET 4 SC HERBICIDE
|
||||
may be applied to remaining crop stubble following harvest. In conservation, minimum and no-tillage systems on soils having 2.5% organic
|
||||
matter or greater, apply FLUFENACET 4 SC HERBICIDE at 23 to 25 fluid oz/A on medium textured soils and 25 fluid oz/A on fine textured
|
||||
soils. Apply before the ground is frozen. The soil may be tilled before or after application with an incorporation depth no more than two to
|
||||
three inches following the fall application. Minimize furrow and ridge formation in the tillage operations after application of FLUFENACET
|
||||
4 SC HERBICIDE. If a spring application is made, the total rate of both fall and spring must not exceed the maximum total rate for corn,
|
||||
or illegal residues may occur.
|

FLUFENACET 4 SC HERBICIDE alone and/or certain FLUFENACET 4 SC HERBICIDE tank mixtures ma y be applied to corn from
|
||||
emergence through the 5 th leaf collar growth stage. Begin le af count with the first leaf (rounde d tip). FLUFENACET 4 SC HERBICIDE
|
||||
alone will not provide control of emerged weeds. For control of emerged weeds, FLUFENACET 4 SC HERBICIDE may be tank mixed
|
||||
with approved postemergence herbicides. Read and follow all precautions/restrictions and directions on tank mix partner labels.
|
||||
Corn treated with FLUFENACET 4 SC HERBICIDE early postemergence may be harvested for forage (silage) 75 days or more after
|
||||
treatment.
|
||||
Adjuvants for early postemergence:
|
||||
The adjuvant types listed below may be utilized with FLUFENACET 4 SC HERBICIDE Flowable Herbicide.
|
||||
UAN (urea ammonium nitrate) is commonly refe rred to as 28, 30, or 32%N. UAN can be used as an adjuvant in certain herbicide tan k
|
||||
mixtures with FLUFENACET 4 SC HERBICIDE, or as a spray carrier for FLUFENACET 4 SC HERBICIDE. Fluid fertilizers applied after
|
||||
crop emergence can result in crop tissue “burn” symptoms. Using fluid fertilizer as a postemergence spray carrier to apply FLUFENACET
|
||||
4 SC HERBICIDE is not recommended if fluid fertilizer burn is not considered acceptable.
|
||||
Ammonium sulfate (spray grade) is recommended as an alternative to UAN as a spray solution adjuvant with certain tank mixture partners.
|
||||
When tank mixing FLUFENACET 4 SC HERBICIDE Flowable Herbicide with other herbicides be certain to select adjuvants recommended
|
||||
and compatible for use with all herbicides included in the tank mixture.

FLUFENACET 4 SC HERBICIDE is a selective herbicide for control/suppression of most annual grasses in soybeans. FLUFENACET 4
|
||||
SC HERBICIDE may be applied once per year either alone, in tank mix combination with or sequentially with certain registered herbicides.
|
||||
The following types of application are allowed: preplant surface, preplant incorporated and pree mergence. The preplant surface and
|
||||
preplant incorporated treatments may be applied up to 14 days before planting. The mo st effective weed control will occur when the
|
||||
applied product is moved into the soil by rainfall, sprinkler irrigation or mechanical tillage prior to weed emergence form the soil.
|
||||
Do not graze or feed forage, hay or straw to livestock.
|
||||
|

APPENDIX I
|
||||
SPRAYABLE FLUID FERTILIZER COMPATIBILITY TEST
|
||||
A compatibility test is highly recommended for all applications with liquid fertilizers. Prior to mixing products in the spray tank, small
|
||||
quantities of each product can be mixed in proportionate quantities to 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 check for comp atibility,
|
||||
use the following procedure:
|
||||
1. Add two inches of the liquid carrier (water or liquid fertilizer) 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 concentrates last. For dry herbicides, add 1-1/2 level teaspoons/pound/acre use rate and for
|
||||
liquids add 1/2 teaspoon/pint/acre use rate.
|
||||
3. Add one pint of the li quid carrier (water or liquid fertilizer) to the jar. Place the lid on the jar and gently shake the jar for one minute.
|
||||
Place the jar on a level surface and let it stand for 30 minutes.
|
||||
4. Reagitate the mixture and observe the mi xture for signs of phase separation, flakes , particles, gels, precipitates, etc. If none of
|
||||
these conditions occur, the mix is compatible.
|
||||
5. If incompatible, use of a compatibilit y agent is recommended. Rerun the above test but first add a compatibility agent (1/4 teaspoon
|
||||
is equal to a use rate of 2 pints/100 gallons spray mix) and gently shake the jar prior to adding herbicides.
|
||||
6. If the mixture is now compatible, a compatibility agent should be used in the spray mixture at its recommended rate.
|
||||
7. If the components of the solution are still incompatible, the mixture should not be attempted for use in the spray tank.
|
||||
8. Contact your Bayer representative for further reco mmendations on testing spray solution compatibilities.

||||
