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).

Endangered Species Concerns
|
||||
The use of any pesticide in a manner that may kill or other
|
||||
wise harm an endangered species or adversely modify their
|
||||
habitat is a violation of federal law. This pesticide is toxic to
|
||||
fish and aquatic invertebrates and must be used strictly in
|
||||
accordance with drift precautions on this label to minimize
|
||||
off-site exposures.
|
||||
DO NOT apply when weather conditions favor drift from
|
||||
treated areas to nontarget aquatic habitats. Notify state
|
||||
and/or federal authorities and BASF immediately if you
|
||||
observe any adverse environmental effects due to use of this
|
||||
product.
|
||||
General Information
|
||||
This package contains BAS 555 SL fungicide. To maximize
|
||||
disease control, apply BAS 555 SL in a regularly scheduled
|
||||
protective spray program and use in a rotation program with
|
||||
other fungicides.
|
||||
BAS 555 SL has good residual activity against target fungi.
|
||||
BAS 555 SL is not for use in greenhouse or transplant
|
||||
production.
|
||||
Mode of Action
|
||||
Metconazole, the active ingredient of BAS 555 SL, inhibits
|
||||
demethylation of sterol biosynthesis (OMI), disrupting cell
|
||||
membrane synthesis of target site of action Group 3
|
||||
fungicides.
|
||||
4
|
||||
(
|
||||
Resistance Management
|
||||
BAS 555 SL contains metconazole, a Group 3 fungicide,
|
||||
and is effective against pathogens resistant to fungicides
|
||||
with modes of action different from those of 001 fungicides
|
||||
(target site Group 3). Fungal isolates resistant to Group 3
|
||||
fungicides may eventually dominate the fungal population if
|
||||
Group 3 fungicides are used predominantly and repeatedly
|
||||
in the same field in successive years as the primary method
|
||||
of control for the targeted pathogen species. This may result
|
||||
in reduction of disease control by BAS 555 SL or other
|
||||
Group 3 fungicides.
|
||||
To maintain the performance of BAS 555 SL in the field,
|
||||
DO NOT exceed the maximum seasonal use rate or the
|
||||
total number of applications of BAS 555 SL per season and
|
||||
the maximum number of applications of BAS 555 SL stated
|
||||
in Table 1. BAS 555 SL fungicide Crop-specific
|
||||
Restrictions and Limitations. Adhere to the label instruc
|
||||
tions regarding the use of BAS 555 SL or other target site of
|
||||
action Group 3 fungicides that have a similar site of action
|
||||
on the same pathogens.
|
||||
Resistance Management Advisory
|
||||
The following recommendations may be considered to delay
|
||||
the development of fungicide resistance.
|
||||
1. Tank mixtures. Use tank mixtures with effective fungi
|
||||
cides from different target site of action groups that are
|
||||
registered/permitted for the same use and that are effective
|
||||
against the pathogens of concern. Use at least the minimum
|
||||
labeled rates of each fungicide in the tank mix.
|
||||
2. Integrated Pest Management (IPM). BAS 555 SL
|
||||
should be integrated into an overall disease and pest man
|
||||
agement program. Cultural practices known to reduce dis
|
||||
ease development should be followed. Consult your local
|
||||
extension specialist, certified crop advisor and/or BASF rep
|
||||
resentative for additional IPM strategies established for your
|
||||
area. BAS 555 SL may be used in Agricultural Extension
|
||||
advisory (disease forecasting) programs, which recommend
|
||||
application timing based on environmental factors favorable
|
||||
for disease development.
|
||||
3. Monitoring. Monitor efficacy of all fungicides used in the
|
||||
disease management program against the targeted
|
||||
pathogen and record other factors that may influence fungi
|
||||
cide performance and/or disease development. If a Group 3
|
||||
target site fungicide, such as BAS 555 SL, appears to be
|
||||
less effective against a pathogen that it previously controlled
|
||||
or suppressed, contact a BASF representative, local exten
|
||||
sion specialist, or certified crop advisor for further investiga
|
||||
tion.
|
||||

Application Instructions. Apply BAS 555 SL fungicide at
|
||||
rates and timings as required in this label.
|
||||
Use Precautions for Sprinkler Irrigation Applications
|
||||
• Apply this product only through sprinkler irrigation systems
|
||||
including center pivot, lateral move, end tow, side [wheel]
|
||||
roll, traveler, big gun, solid set, or hand move irrigation sys
|
||||
tems. DO NOT apply this product through any other type
|
||||
of irrigation system.
|
||||
• Add this product to the pesticide supply tank containing
|
||||
sufficient water to maintain a continuous flow by the injec
|
||||
tion equipment. In continuous moving systems, inject this
|
||||
product-water mixture continuously, applying the labeled
|
||||
rate per acre for that crop. DO NOT exceed 1/2 inch
|
||||
(13,577 gallons) per acre. In stationary or noncontinuous
|
||||
moving systems, inject the product-water mixture in the
|
||||
last 15 to 30 minutes of each set, allowing sufficient time
|
||||
for all of the required pesticide to be applied by all the
|
||||
sprinkler heads and applying the labeled rate per acre for
|
||||
that crop. DO NOT apply when wind speed favors drift
|
||||
beyond the area intended for treatment. Crop injury, lack of
|
||||
effectiveness, or illegal pesticide residues in the crop can
|
||||
result from nonuniform distribution of treated water.
|
||||
Thorough coverage of foliage is required for good control.
|
||||
Good agitation should be maintained during the entire
|
||||
application period.
|
||||
• If you have questions about calibration, you should contact
|
||||
state extension service specialists, equipment manufactur
|
||||
ers or other experts.
|
||||
• The system must contain a functional check valve, vacuum
|
||||
relief valve, and low-pressure drain appropriately located
|
||||
on the irrigation pipeline to prevent water-source contami
|
||||
nation from backflow.
|
||||
• The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional,
|
||||
automatic, quick-closing check valve to prevent the flow of
|
||||
fluid back toward the injection pump.
|
||||
• The pesticide injection pipeline must also contain a func
|
||||
tional, normally closed, solenoid-operated valve located on
|
||||
the intake side of the injection pump and connected to the
|
||||
system interlock to prevent fluid from being withdrawn
|
||||
from the supply tank when the irrigation system is either
|
||||
automatically or manually shut down.
|
||||
• The system must contain functional interlocking controls to
|
||||
automatically shut off the pesticide injection pump when
|
||||
the water pump motor stops.
|
||||
• The irrigation line or water pump must include a functional
|
||||
pressure switch which will stop the water pump motor
|
||||
when the water pressure decreases to the point where
|
||||
pesticide distribution is adversely affected.
|
||||
• Systems must use a metering pump, such as a positive
|
||||
displacement injection pump (e.g. diaphragm pump), effec
|
||||
tively designed and constructed of materials that are com
|
||||
patible with pesticides and capable of being fitted with a
|
||||
system interlock.
|
||||
• Allow sufficient time for pesticide to be flushed through all
|
||||
lines and all nozzles before turning off irrigation water. A
|
||||
person knowledgeable of the chemigation system and
|
||||
responsible for its operation, or under supervision of the
|
||||
responsible person, shall shut the system down and make
|
||||
necessary adjustments should the need arise.
|
||||

|
||||
(
|
||||
• DO NOT connect an irrigation system used for pesticide
|
||||
application to a public water system unless the pesticide
|
||||
label-prescribed safety devices for public water systems
|
||||
are in place.
|
||||
Specific Instructions for Public Water Systems:
|
||||
1 . Public water system means a system for the provision to
|
||||
the public of piped water for human consumption if such
|
||||
system has at least 15 service connections or regularly
|
||||
serves an average of at least 25 individuals daily at least
|
||||
60 days out of the year.
|
||||
2. Chemigation systems connected to public water systems
|
||||
must contain a functional, reduced-pressure zone, back
|
||||
flow preventer (RPZ) or the functional equivalent in the
|
||||
water supply line upstream from the point of pesticide
|
||||
introduction. As an option to the RPZ, the water from the
|
||||
public water system should be discharged into a reservoir
|
||||
tank prior to pesticide introduction. There shall be a com
|
||||
plete physical break (air gap) between the outlet end of
|
||||
the fill pipe and the top or overflow rim of the reservoir
|
||||
tank of at least twice the inside diameter of the fill pipe.
|
||||
3. The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional,
|
||||
automatic, quick-closing check valve to prevent the flow
|
||||
of fluid back toward the injection pump.
|
||||
4. The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional,
|
||||
normally closed, solenoid-operated valve located on the
|
||||
intake side of the injection pump and connected to the
|
||||
system interlock to prevent fluid from being withdrawn
|
||||
from the supply tank when the irrigation system is either
|
||||
automatically or manually shut down.
|
||||
5. The system must contain functional interlocking controls
|
||||
to automatically shut off the pesticide injection pump
|
||||
when the water pump motor stops, or in cases where
|
||||
there is no water pump, when the water pressure
|
||||
decreases to the point where pesticide distribution is
|
||||
adversely affected.
|
||||
6. Systems must use a metering pump, such as a positive
|
||||
displacement injection pump (e.g. diaphragm pump),
|
||||
effectively designed and constructed of materials that are
|
||||
compatible with pesticides and capable of being fitted
|
||||
with a system interlock.
|
||||
Application Instructions
|
||||
Apply BAS 555 SL according to the rate, timing, resistance
|
||||
management and adjuvant use instructions in the disease
|
||||
specific use directions (Table 2. BAS 555 SL fungicide
|
||||
Crop-specific Instructions) in this label.
|
||||
BAS 555 SL may be applied by ground sprayer, aerial
|
||||
equipment, or through sprinkler irrigation equipment.
|
||||
Equipment should be checked frequently for calibration.
|
||||
Ground Application. Apply BAS 555 SL in sufficient water
|
||||
to ensure thorough coverage of foliage, blooms, and fruit.
|
||||
Thorough coverage is required for optimum disease control.
|
||||
The use of a non ionic surfactant at the lowest labeled rate
|
||||
may be used to improve spray coverage. Refer to the adju
|
||||
vant product label for specific use directions. For ground
|
||||
application to corn, refer to the Restrictions for Use of
|
||||
Adjuvants on Corn. DO NOT use adjuvants that contain
|
||||
7
|
||||
---II
|
||||
|
||||
(
|
||||
methylated seed oil, crop oil concentrate, or crop oil with
|
||||
emulsifier properties.
|
||||
Aerial Application. DO NOT apply when conditions favor
|
||||
drift from target area. DO NOT use less than 2 gallons per
|
||||
acre (gpa) spray volume on all crops.
|
||||
For all aerial application volumes (gpa) , the use of a nonionic
|
||||
surfactant at the lowest labeled rate may be used to improve
|
||||
spray coverage. Refer to the adjuvant product label for spe
|
||||
cific use directions. Refer to Restrictions for Use of
|
||||
Adjuvants on Corn. DO NOT use adjuvants that contain
|
||||
methylated seed oil, crop oil concentrate, or crop oil with
|
||||
emulsifier properties. Select spray nozzles, pumping pres
|
||||
sure, and sprayer height to provide medium-to-fine spray
|
||||
droplets that penetrate throughout the crop canopy. Spray
|
||||
calibration must be conducted to confirm spray droplet
|
||||
sizes. Continue to monitor spray application (including
|
||||
weather conditions) to assure proper droplet size and
|
||||
canopy penetration.
|
||||
Restrictions for Use of Adjuvants on Corn
|
||||
DO NOT use adjuvants after the V8 stage and prior to the
|
||||
VT stage of corn growth unless specifically recommended
|
||||
on BASF labeling or by BASF technical bulletins. (The VT
|
||||
stage is defined as when the last branch of the tassel is
|
||||
completely visible outside of the whorl). A compatibility
|
||||
agent, another fungicide, or an insecticide may be included
|
||||
in the tank mix, if needed and labeled for use in corn. Refer
|
||||
to adjuvant product label for specific use directions and
|
||||
restrictions. Always follow the most restrictive label. Consult
|
||||
a BASF representative or local agricultural authority for more
|
||||
information concerning use of additives.
|
||||
Additives and General
|
||||
Tank Mixing Information
|
||||
Under some conditions, the use of additives or adjuvants
|
||||
may improve the performance of BAS 555 SL fungicide.
|
||||
However, under some conditions, the use of additives or
|
||||
adjuvants with BAS 555 SL may cause crop response. The
|
||||
addition of a nitrogen-based fertilizer may result in some
|
||||
crop leaf burn from the fertilizer. The addition of an emulsifi
|
||||
able concentrate (EC)-based insecticide may result in some
|
||||
crop leaf burn.
|
||||
DO NOT tank mix with products containing a prohibition
|
||||
against tank mixing. Follow the most restrictive labeling
|
||||
requirements of any tank mix product.
|
||||
BAS 555 SL can be tank mixed with most recommended
|
||||
fungicides. However, all varieties and cultivars have not been
|
||||
tested with possible tank mix combinations. Local conditions
|
||||
can also influence crop tolerance and may not match those
|
||||
under which BASF has conducted testing. Physical incom
|
||||
patibility, reduced disease control, or crop injury may result
|
||||
from mixing BAS 555 SL with other products. Therefore,
|
||||
before using any tank mix (fungicides, insecticides, herbi
|
||||
cides, liquid fertilizers, biological control products, adjuvants
|
||||
and additives), test the combination on a small portion of the
|
||||
crop to be treated to ensure that a phytotoxic response will
|
||||
not occur as a result of application.
|
||||

Restrictions and Limitations
|
||||
• DO NOT use less than 5 gallons per acre (gpa) for aerial
|
||||
applications.
|
||||
• No livestock feeding restrictions for all crops on the label.
|
||||
• Rotational Crop Restrictions
|
||||

Instructions for Directed or Banded Sprays Related to
|
||||
Ground Applications
|
||||
The application rates shown in the following tables pertain to
|
||||
both aerial and ground (broadcast) methods of application.
|
||||
BAS 555 SL may also be applied as a directed or banded
|
||||
spray over the rows or plant beds with alleys or row middles
|
||||
left upsprayed. For such uses, the labeled BAS 555 SL rec
|
||||
ommendation should be reduced in proportion to the area
|
||||
actually sprayed. This adjustment is necessary to avoid
|
||||
applying the product at use rates higher than permitted
|
||||
according to label recommendations.
|
||||
The following formula may be used to determine the broad
|
||||
cast equivalent rate for applying directed or banded sprays:
|
||||
sprayed bed width + unsprayed row middles
|
||||
= total row width
|
||||

plant beds that are separated by 15" of unsprayed row mid
|
||||
dies.
|
||||
45" sprayed bed width + 15" unsprayed row middles
|
||||
= 60" total row width
