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 Dr. Huang:
|
||||
|
||||
The amended label 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 conditions that were previously imposed on this registration. You continue to be
|
||||
subject to existing 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 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 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. “To distribute or sell” is
|
||||
defined under FIFRA section 2(gg) and its implementing regulation at 40 CFR 152.3.
|
||||
|
||||
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.
|
||||
|
||||
Your release for shipment of the product constitutes acceptance of these conditions. If these
|
||||
conditions are not complied with, the registration will be subject to cancellation in accordance

To provide early season protection of seedlings against inju ry by aphids, flea beetles and wireworms apply as a
|
||||
commercial seed treatment at 12.8 to 32 fl oz per hundredweight of seed. In areas where flea beetle and foliar insects are
|
||||
in high numbers, the higher application rate is recommended. Please consult your local agricultural office for pest patterns,
|
||||
history, and forecasts to assist in determining the appropriate rate for your region.
|
||||

Field Corn: For End-Use Application At Agricultural Establishments:
|
||||
Apply using an HCBT or an Eight-Bag Batch Treater. Shake GAUCHO 480 Flowable thoroughly before use. Dilute
|
||||
GAUCHO 480 Flowable with water and/or an approved Gustafson fungicide mixture. The final slurry rate must be adjusted
|
||||
to apply a rate of 8 - 10 fl oz of diluted slurry per 50-pound bag of seed. Treat one-half of seed with one-half of slurry mix.
|
||||
Add balance of the seed and apply balance of slurry. Allow mixing until seed is thoroughly covered. Apply 0.75 oz. of dry
|
||||
TALC per 50-pound bag of seed following the GAUCHO 480 Flowable application and allow it to distribute evenly on the
|
||||
seed.
|
||||
Wheat, Barley, Oats, Rye, Triticale:
|
||||
To provide early season protection of seedlings against injury by aphids (including Bird cherry-oat, English grain,
|
||||
Greenbug, and Russian wheat aphid), Hessian fly and Wireworms, apply 1.0 to 3.0 fl oz per hundredweight of seed prior to
|
||||
planting as a slurry treatment. Low use rate for "wireworm-only" protection: GAUCHO 480 applied at the 0.16 - 0.32 fl oz
|
||||
per hundredweight of seed offers suppression of wireworm acti vity on seed and young seedlings. To provide early season
|
||||
protection from grasshopper damage, GAUCHO 480 must be applied to seed at 1.5 to 3.0 fl oz per hundredweight. To
|
||||
reduce early season damage caused by gra sshopper, GAUCHO treated seed may be planted as a 50 to 60 foot border
|
||||
around the edges of the field. Consult your local university extension entomologist for details regarding grasshopper
|
||||
control in your area. For maximum effectiveness, seed must be treated uniformly. Ensure thorough coverage. Use the
|
||||
higher rate to provide increased length of protection and from heavy insect pressure and from wireworms, and to reduce
|
||||
potential spread of Barley yellow dwarf virus due to aphid vectors. Do not graze or feed livestock on treated areas for 45
|
||||
days after planting.
|
||||
Wheat, Barley, Oats, Rye, Triticale: For End-Use Application At Agricultural Establishments:
|
||||
Apply using a Total Slurry Treater (TST), Farmer Applied Seed Treater (F.A.S.T.), Gustafson Air Pressure System (GAP)
|
||||
or other on-farm seed treating equipment to deliver accurate rates of GAUCHO 480 Flowable to achieve optimum product
|
||||
performance. Apply 1.0 - 3.0 fl oz per hundredweight of seed. GAUCHO 480 Flowable must be combined with a Gustafson
|
||||
fungicide product for seed and seedling protection against fungal pathogens, as well as insect pests. Depending on
|
||||
fungicide formulation used dilution with water may be necessary for optimum coverage. GAUCHO 480 Flowable may also
|
||||
be applied on-farm as an over-treatment to seed pretreated with a fungicide. In this case, dilution is necessary. Do not
|
||||
graze or feed livestock on treated areas for 45 days after planting.
|
||||
Sorghum, Millet:
|
||||
To provide early season protection of seedlings against injury by Aphids (including Corn leaf, English grain, Greenbug, and
|
||||
Yellow sugar cane aphid), Chinch bugs, Fire ants and Wireworms, apply 8 fl oz per hundredweight of seed prior to planting
|
||||
as a slurry treatment. Ensure thorough coverage. Do not graze or feed livestock on treated areas for 45 days after
|
||||
planting.
|
||||
Sorghum, Millet: For End-Use Application At Agricultural Establishments:
|
||||
Apply using an HCBT or an Eight-Bag Batch Treater. Shake GAUCHO 480 Flowable thoroughly before use. Dilute 4 fl oz
|
||||
of GAUCHO 480 Flowable with water. The final slurry rate must be adjusted to apply a rate of 8 - 10 fl oz of diluted slurry
|
||||
per 50-pound bag of seed. Treat one-half of seed with one-half of slurry mix. Add the balance of the seed and apply
|
||||
balance of slurry. Allow mixing until seed is thoroughly covered. Apply 0.75 oz of dry TALC per 50-pound bag of seed
|
||||
following the GAUCHO 480 Flowable application and allow it to distribute evenly on the seed. Do not graze or feed
|
||||
livestock on treated areas for 45 days after planting.
|
||||
Cotton (Delinted Seed Only):
|
||||
To provide protection of seedlings against injury by early season thrips and aphids and where specific application rate is
|
||||
desired on an individual seed basis apply at 0.375 mg. ai per seed (do not apply more than 16.0 fluid ounces per
