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).

|
||||
or flush equipment on or near desirable trees or other plants,
|
||||
or on areas where. their roots may extend, or in locations
|
||||
where the chemical may be washed or moved into contact

|
||||
desirable plants. Do not contaminate any body of water.
|
||||
Keep from contact with feniliurs, insecticides, fungicides,
|
||||
and seeds during storage.
|
||||
PRIOR TO USING "GEMINl", CONSIDERA nON
|
||||
SHOULD BE GIVEN TO CROP ROTAnON PLANS.
|
||||
Crops other than soybeans can be extremely sensitive to low
|
||||
concentrations of ''Gemini'' remaining in the soil the next
|
||||
planting season. Choice of rotational crop is restricted
|
||||
following application of ''Gemini''. (See "ROTA nONAL
|
||||
CROP GUIDELINES".)
|
||||
Thoroughly clean all traces of ''Gemini'' from application
|
||||
equipment immediately after use and prior to spraying crops
|
||||
other than soybeans. Failure to remove even small amounts
|
||||
of "Gemini" from 3pplication eq:Jipment may result in

GENERAL INFORMATION
|
||||
Du Pont ''Gemini'' Herbicide is a dispersible granule formula
|
||||
tion to be mixed with water and sprayed for selective preemer·
|
||||
gence weed control in soybeans. When applied according to the
|
||||
insbUctions on this label, it will control many broadleaf weeds
|
||||
and provide partial control of nutsedge and annual grasses.
|
||||
Preemergence and JlRpllIltlnalrponted applications of
|
||||
''Gemini'' require rainfall or sprinkler irrigation to activate the
|
||||
herbicide. Degree of control and duration of effect depend on:
|
||||
rate used, weed SpeCbUm, growing conditions at and following
|
||||
time of treatment, soil pH, texture, organic matter, moisture,
|
||||
and precipitation.
|
||||
Because most crops are highly sensitive to ''Gemini'', all direct
|
||||
or indirect contact (such as spray drift) to crllpS or to land
|
||||
scheduled to be planted to crops other than soybeans should be
|
||||
avoided.
|
||||
BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITY
|
||||
''Gemini'' rapidly inhibits the growth of susceptible weeds.
|
||||
Following activation of preplant incorporated or preemergence
|
||||
treatment, susceptible weeds may germinate and emerge, but
|
||||
growth then ceases and leaves become yellow 3-5 days after
|
||||
emergence. Death ofleaf tissue ~nd growing point will follow
|
||||
in some species while others remain green but stunted and
|
||||
noncompetitive. ''Gemini'' provides partial control of some
|
||||
annual grasses when used Preplant or preemergence but other
|
||||
products may be needed to ensure adequate grass control.
|
||||
WEEDS CONTROLLED
|
||||

APPLICATION METHODS
|
||||
If initial seeding fails to produce a stand, treated fields may
|
||||
be replanled to soybeans. Do not rework soil; do nOl retreal
|
||||
field wi!h a second application as injury to !he crop may
|
||||
result. Do not replanl treated areas to any crop o!her !han
|
||||
soybeans wi!hin four mon!hs after treatment as injury to
|
||||
subsequent crops may result.
|
||||
EARLY PREPLANT OR PREPLANT
|
||||
INCORPORATED (SEE RATE CHART)
|
||||
''Gemini'' may be applied at planting or up to 30 days prior
|
||||
to planting either pre. mergence or preplant incorporated. If
|
||||
incorporated, ''Gemini'' should be uniformly incorporaled
|
||||
no deeper !han \he top 1-2" of soil prior to planting
|
||||
soybeans. Use equipment suited for proper incorporalion
|
||||
into !he top 1-2 inches of soil e.g.: Oo-all, rleld cullivalor,
|
||||
Roterra. If tank-mixed wi!h a grass herbicide, such as a
|
||||
DNA like '7reflan", ''Sonalan'', or acetanilide such as
|
||||
''Dual'', or ''l...asso'', follow label instructions for proper
|
||||
incorporation of the grass herbicide into the top I to 2" of
|
||||
soil. Improper soil incorporation can result in erratic weed
|
||||
control or crop injury. Rainfall· (-I'') is required to activate
|
||||
preplant incorporaled herbicides such as ''Gemini'' before
|
||||
weed emergence.
|
||||
Use of a disk for incorporation is not recommended.
|
||||
''Gemini'' + '7reflan", ''Prowl'', ''Dual'' or Sonalan" - Apply
|
||||
within 2 weeks of planting. ''Gemini'' + ''Lasso'' - Apply
|
||||
wi!hin 7 days of planting.
|
||||
PREEMERGENCE (SEE RATE CHART)
|
||||
Preemergence application: Apply before soybeans emerge.
|
||||
Do not spray over lOp of emerged soybeans as severe injury
|
||||
or death of crop will occur.
|
||||
Preemergence activity of ''Gemini'' requires rainfall· to
|
||||
activale. Besl resulls are obtained if treatment is made 10
|
||||
mOiSI soil and followed by rainfall or irrigation (-I") before
|
||||
weeds germinate. On dry soil more moisture is required for
|
||||
BEST AVAILABLE COpy
|
||||
|
||||
activation (Ito 2") before'. weed emergence. If moisture is
|
||||
insuffidentto activate the herbicide. a rotary hoeing or
|
||||
shallow cultivation should be made after emergence of crop
|
||||
while weeds are small enough to be controlled by mechan
|
||||
ical means. ''Gemini'' can be apphed preemergence in
|
||||
combinalion with "Lasso". ''DuaJ". "Prow)'" "Suman''. or

PRECAUTIONS
|
||||
Do not apply ''Gemini''lo soils with a pH greater than 7.0.
|
||||
e"cept for those Slates listed in Group 11\ of the ''ROTA
|
||||
TIONAL CROP GUIDELINES" where ''Gemini'' can be
|
||||
applied to soils up 10 7..s pH.
|
||||
o CAunON: Soil pH varies greatly. even within the same
|
||||
field. pH variations as much as 2 pH units an: common.
|
||||
Composite soil samples taken across an entin: field. such
|
||||
as those samples taken for soil fettility n:commendations.
|
||||
may not detect areas of high pH (gn:ater than pH 6.8).
|
||||
Sub-sampling areas likely to have pH values higher than
|
||||
the field average is recommended.
|
||||
Soil pH may vary with soil rype. When: different soil
|
||||
tyres an: evident within a fteld. these types should be
|
||||
sampled separately_
|
||||
Soil pH may vary due to conditions within a field. Such
|
||||
areas include. but an: not limited to. areas bordered by
|
||||
limestone gravel roads. river bonoms subject to flooding.
|
||||
low an:as in hardpan soils where evaporative ponds may
|
||||
occur. eroded hillsides. along drain tile lines. and areas
|
||||
where drainage ditch spoil has been spread. These areas
|
||||
should be sampled separately.
|
||||
Soil pH may vary within the soil profile. For instance.
|
||||
fields in which lime has not been deeply incorporaled
|
||||
may exhibit significantly higher pH values in the upper 3
|
||||
inches of soil. Composite soil samples taken at a 6-8 inch
|
||||
depth may not reflect the elevated pH near the surface. In
|
||||
these cases shallow sampling. the upper 3 inches. is
|
||||
advised.
|
||||
Determine soil pH by laboratory analysis uSing a I: I
