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

image, pushes. ~10 min vs ~9h full refresh.

.gitignore: corpus/ now COMMITTED (4,159 labels, 265 MB of .md +

chroma/ + bm25/ still gitignored (regenerable binary indexes).

.dockerignore: drops venv, eval results, PLAN/README/CLAUDE.md,

GENERAL INFORMATION
Fallow Master Broadspectrum herbicide is a postemergence herbicide for control or suppression of
emerged weeds in fallow and reduced tillage systems. This product should be applied at least 15
days prior to planting of wheat, barley, oats, or sorghum (grain or forage).
This product enters the plant through the foliage and moves throughout the plant. Visual effects of
control are a gradual wilting or yellowing of the plant, which advances to complete browning of
above-ground growth and deterioration of affected underground plant parts. Visible symptoms will
usually develop on labeled weeds within 2 to 4 days after application, but may not occur for 7 or
more days. Extremely cool or cloudy weather following treatment may slow activity of this product
and delay the visual effects of control.
APPLICATION PRECAUTIONS
AND WARNINGS
• Do not apply this product through any type of irrigation system.
Master Label 524-507 Page 7 of 14 Revised February 2009 - Dicamba DCI
\\of\l
• The maximum single application rate of dicamba is 1.0 pound per acre.
• Do not make more than 2 applications of this product per year.
• Delay planting of wheat, barley, oats, or sorghum (grain or forage) for 15 days after application
of this product.
• Do not plant any crop other than corn, wheat, barley, oats, or sorghum (grain or forage) for 3
months after application or until this product has disappeared from the soil.
• This product is recommended for control of emerged weeds prior to establishment of labeled
crops. Large amounts of green or decaying vegetation left standing or incorporated into the
seedbed may enhance the development of disease in newly planted crops. This may result in
poor emergence and/or stands, especially under cool and/or wet conditions.
• Do not feed or forage treated vegetation within 8 weeks after application.
• Spraying early to control young weeds before dense stands develop, or light cultivation to assist
weed decay, will favor preparation of suitable seedbeds.
• THIS PRODUCT MAY CAUSE INJURY TO DESIRABLE TREES, PLANTS OR CROPS,
ESPECIALLY SENSITIVE BROADLEAF PLANTS SUCH AS BEANS, COTTON, FLOWERS,
FRUIT TREES, GRAPES, ORNAMENTALS, PEAS, POTATOES, SOYBEANS, SUNFLOWERS,
TOMATOES AND OTHER BROAD LEAF PLANTS IF BROUGHT INTO CONTACT WITH THEIR
ROOTS, STEMS OR FOLIAGE. THESE PLANTS ARE MOST SENSITIVE DURING THEIR
ACTIVE GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT STAGE.
• Applications should be made only when there is minimal risk from spray drift since very small
quantities of spray, which may not be visible, may severely injure susceptible crops or desirable

MIXING INSTRUCTIONS
Fill the spray tank to about 3/4 of the desired volume with clean water. Add the required amount of
this product, then complete the filling process while maintaining agitation. Remove the hose from the
mixing tank immediately after filling to avoid Siphoning back into the carrier source. During mixing
and application, foaming of the spray solution may occur. To prevent or minimize foam, terminate by­
pass and return lines at the tank bottom and/or use an agriculturally approved anti-foam or
defoaming agent.
Additional surfactant is not recommended for this formulation.
NOTE: Reduced results may occur if water containing soil is used, such as water from ponds and
unlined ditches.
AMMONIUM SULFATE
Master Label 524-507 Page 8 of 14 Revised February 2009 - Dicamba DCI
The addition of 1 to 2 percent dry ammonium sulfate by weight (or liquid equivalent) may increase
the performance of Fallow Master Broadspectrum herbicide tank mixtures on annual weeds. Add 8.5
to 17 pounds of dry ammonium sulfate per 100 gallons of spray solution. The improvement in
performance may be apparent where environmental stress ;s a concern. Use the higher rate of
ammonium sulfate with Fallow Master Broadspectrum when treating large or dense populations of
annual weeds. Low-quality ammonium s'ulfate may contain material that will not readily dissolve
which could result in nozzle-tip plugging. To determine quality, perform a jar test by adding 1/3 cup of
ammonium sulfate to 1 gallon of water and agitate for 1 minute. If undissolved sediment is observed,
predissolve the additive in water and filter prior to addition to the spray tank. If ammonium sulfate is
added directly to the spray tank, add slowly with agitation. Adding too quickly may clog outlet line.
Ensure that ammonium sulfate is completely dissolved in the spray tank before adding herbicides.
Thoroughly rinse the spray system with clean water promptly after use to reduce corrosion. Observe
all precautionary statements on the ammonium sulfate product label.
NOTE: Compatibility problems may occur at carrier volumes below 5 gallons per acre.
APPLICATION EQUIPMENT
This product may be applied using either ground or aerial spray equipment. For ground application,
apply in 3 to 10 gallons of water per acre. For aerial application, apply in 3 to 5 gallons of water per
acre.
SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT
AVOID DRIFT. EXTREME CARE MUST BE USED WHEN APPLYING THIS PRODUCT TO
PREVENT INJURY TO DESIRABLE PLANTS AND CROPS.
Do not allow this herbicide solution to mist, drip, drift or splash onto desirable vegetation as minute
quantities of this product can cause severe damage or destruction to the crop, plants or other areas
on which treatment was not intended.
Avoiding spray drift at the application site is the responsibility of the applicator. The interaction of
many equipment- and weather-related factors determine the potential for spray drift. The applicator
and the grower are responsible for considering all these factors when making decisions.
GROUND APPLICATION: Apply this product at the rates specified on this label in 3 to 10 gallons of
water per acre as a broadcast spray. For optimum spray distribution and coverage, use flat-fan or
low-volume flood nozzles. When using flood nozzles, space them no more than 40 inches apart and
ensure double overlap of spray pattern. Refer to the manufacturer's recommendations for correct
pressure and nozzle height above the target canopy. Avoid pressure and nozzles that produce fine
droplets or mist.
Use appropriate marking devices to ensure uniform spray coverage and best results from this
product.
AERIAL APPLICATION: Apply this product at the rates specified on this label in 3 to 5 gallons of
water per acre as a broadcast spray. TO PREVENT INJURY TO ADJACENT DESIRABLE
VEGETATION, APPROPRIATE BUFFER ZONES MUST BE MAINTAINED.
AERIAL SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT
The following drift management requirements must be followed to avoid off-target drift movement'
from aerial applications to agricultural field crops.
1. The distance of the outermost nozzles on the boom must not exceed % the length of the
wingspan or rotor.
Master Label 524-507 Page 9 of 14 Revised February 2009 - Dicamba DCI
2. Nozzles must always point backward parallel with the air stream and never be pointed
downwards more than 45 degrees. Where states have more stringent regulations, they should
be observed.
Importance of droplet size.
The most effective way to reduce drift potential is to apply large droplets. The best drift management
strategy is to apply the largest droplets that provide sufficient coverage and control. Applying larger
droplets reduces drift potential, but will not prevent drift if applications are made improperly, or under
unfavorable environmental conditions (see the Wind, Temperature and Humidity, and
Temperature Inversion sections of this label).
Controlling droplet size
• Volume: Use high flow rate nozzles to apply the highest practical spray volume. Nozzles with
the higher rated flows produce larger droplets.
• Pressure: Use the lower spray pressures recommended for the nozzle. Higher pressure
reduces droplet size and does not improve canopy protection. When higher flow rates are
needed, use higher flow rate nozzles instead of increasing pressure.
• Number of nozzles: Use the minimum number of nozzles that provide uniform coverage.
• Nozzle orientation: Orienting nozzles so that the spray is released backwards, parallel to the
airstream, will produce larger droplets than other orientations. Significant deflection from the
horizontal will reduce droplet size and increase drift potential.
• 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. Solid
stream nozzles oriented straight back produce larger droplets than other nozzle types.
• Boom Length: For some use patterns, reducing the effective boom height to less than % of the
wingspan or rotor length may further reduce drift without reducing swath width.
• Application Height: Applications should not be made at a height greater than 10 feet above the
top of the largest plants unless a greater height is required for aircraft safety. Making
applications at the lowest height that is safe reduces the exposure of the droplets to evaporation
and wind.
Swath Adjustment
When applications are made with a crosswind, the swath will be displaced downward. Therefore, on
the up and downwind edges of the field, the applicator must compensate for this displacement by
adjusting the path of the aircraft upwind. Swath adjustment distance should increase, with
increasing drift potential (higher wind, smaller droplets, etc.).
Wind
Drift potential is lowest between wind speeds of 2 to 10 mph. However, many factors, including
droplet size and equipment type determine drift potential at any given speed. Application should be
avoided below 2 mph due to variable wind direction and high inversion potential. NOTE: Local
terrain can influence wind patterns. Every applicator should be familiar with local wind patterns and
how they affect spray drift.
Temperature and Humidity
When making applications in low relative humidity, set up equipment to produce larger droplets to
compensate for evaporation. Droplet evaporation is most severe when conditions are both hot and
dry.
Temperature inversions
Master Label 524-507 Page 10 of 14 Revised February 2009 - Dicamba DCI
Applications' should not occur during a temperature inversion because drift potential is high.
Temperature inversions restrict vertical air mixing, which causes small suspended droplets to remain
in a concentrated cloud. This cloud can move in unpredictable directions due to the light variable
winds common during inversions. Temperature inversions are characterized by increasing
temperatures with altitude and are common on nights with limited 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 source 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.
Sensitive areas
The pesticide should only be applied when the potential for drift to adjacent sensitive areas (e.g.
residential areas, bodies of water, known habitat for threatened or endangered species, non-target
crops) is minimal (e.g. when wind is blowing away from the sensitive areas).
TIMING OF APPLICATION
This product should be applied postemergence to vigorously growing weeds when they have
reached the recommended size given in the "APPLICATION RATES AND WEEDS CONTROLLED"
section of this label. Application should be delayed until maximum emergence of the target weeds,
but before weeds exceed the maximum size recommended. For annual weeds, allow 1 day after
treatment before tillage.
Reduced control may result if application is made during poor growing conditions such as drought
stress, disease or insect damage or if weeds have been mowed, grazed or cut. Heavy dust on
foliage or an overstory canopy covering targeted weeds may also reduce control.
Rainfall or irrigation occurring within 6 hours after applicatipn may reduce effectiveness. Heavy
rainfall or irrigation within 2 hours after application may wash this product off the foliage and a repeat
application may be required.
SPRAYER CLEANUP
The steps listed below are suggested for thorough cleaning of spray equipment following application
of this product. Failure to thoroughly clean the sprayer may result in injury to desirable vegetation
subsequently sprayed with the equipment.
1. Thoroughly rinse the inside as well as the outside surfaces of equipment while filling the spray
tank half full with water. Flush by operating the sprayer until the system is purged of the rinse
water.
2. Fill the tank with water while adding 1 quart of household ammonia for every 25 gallons of water.
Operate the pump to circulate the ammonia solution through the sprayer system for 15 to 20
minutes and discharge a small amount of the ammonia solution through the boom and nozzles.
Let the solution stand for several hours, preferably overnight.
3. Flush the solution out of the spray tank through the boom.
4. Remove the nozzles and screens and flush the system with two full tanks of water.
Thoroughly wash aircraft, especially landing gear, after each day of spraying to remove residues of
this product accumulated during spraying or from spills. PROLONGED EXPOSURE OF THIS
PRODUCT TO UNCOATED STEEL SURFACES MAY RESULT IN CORROSION AND POSSIBLE
FAILURE OF THE PART. LANDING GEAR ARE MOST SUSCEPTIBLE. The maintenance of an
organic coating (paint) which meets aerospace specification MIL-C-38413 may prevent corrosion.
