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).

|
||
before removing. As soon as possible, wash thoroughly and change into clean
|
||
clothing.
|
||
|
||
|
||
2.5 Environmental Hazards
|
||
This pesticide is toxic to wildlife and freshwater and estuarine/marine fish and highly toxic to
|
||
aquatic invertebrates. DO NOT contaminate water when disposing of equipment washwater
|
||
or rinsate. Exposed treated seed may be hazardous to wildlife.
|
||
2.5.1 Pollinator Precautions
|
||
Thiamethoxam is highly toxic to bees exposed to direct treatment, and effects may be
|
||
possible as a result of exposure to translocated residues in blooming crops.
|
||
2.5.2 Groundwater Advisory
|
||
Azoxystrobin can be persistent for several months or longer. Azoxystrobin, a degradate of
|
||
azoxystrobin, and mefenoxam are known to leach through soil into groundwater under certain
|
||
conditions as a result of label use. Fludioxonil and thiamethoxam have properties and
|
||
characteristics associated with chemicals detected in groundwater. These chemicals may
|
||
leach into groundwater if used in areas where soils are permeable, particularly where the
|
||
water table is shallow, and may result in groundwater contamination.
|
||
|
||
2.6 Physical and Chemical Hazards
|
||
DO NOT mix or allow to come in contact with an oxidizing agent; a hazardous chemical
|
||
reaction may occur.

3.0 PRODUCT INFORMATION
|
||
A23883 ST is a broad-spectrum seed treatment that consists of five fungicide active
|
||
ingredients (azoxystrobin, fludioxonil, mefenoxam, picarbutrazox, and sedaxane) as well as
|
||
one insecticide active ingredient (thiamethoxam). Each active ingredient has a different
|
||
mode of action. This seed treatment protects against damage from listed early-season
|
||
insects and soil-borne and seed-borne diseases of soybeans.
|
||
|
||
Azoxystrobin fungicide is active against Rhizoctonia and Pythium spp., seed-borne white
|
||
mold (Sclerotinia sclerotiorum) as well as other listed seed-borne diseases causing decay,
|
||
damping-off and seedling blight.
|
||
|
||
Fludioxonil fungicide protects against seed-borne and soil-borne Fusarium and Rhizoctonia
|
||
spp. that cause seed decay, damping-off, and seedling blight. This active ingredient also
|
||
provides protection from seed-borne Diaporthe-Phomopsis disease complex, sometimes
|
||
referred to as pod and stem blight (caused by Phomopsis longicolla and Diaporthe
|
||
phaseolorum). Fludioxonil also suppresses seed-borne Sclerotinia spp.
|
||
|
||
Mefenoxam fungicide provides protection against Pythium damping-off and early-season
|
||
Phytophthora.
|
||
|
||
A23883 ST

|
||
Picarbutrazox provides early-season protection against Pythium and Phytophthora spp. that
|
||
cause seed rot and damping-off.
|
||
|
||
Sedaxane fungicide protects against damage from seed decay, seedling blight, and damping-
|
||
off caused by Rhizoctonia spp.
|
||
|
||
Thiamethoxam protects against damage from listed insect pests.

|
||
3.1 Resistance Management
|
||
|
||
3.1.1 Insecticide Resistance Management
|
||
For resistance management, please note that A23883 ST contains thiamethoxam, a Group
|
||
4A insecticide. Any insect population may contain individuals naturally resistant to A23883
|
||
ST and other Group 4A insecticides. The resistant individuals may dominate the insect
|
||
population if this group of insecticides is used repeatedly in the same fields. Appropriate
|
||
resistance-management strategies should be followed.
|
||
|
||
Thiamethoxam is a systemic insecticide belonging to the neonicotinoid class of chemistry
|
||
which includes nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) agonists.
|
||
|
||
To delay insecticide resistance, take the following steps:
|
||
• Rotate the use of A23883 ST or other Group 4A insecticides within a growing season, or
|
||
among growing seasons, with different groups that control the same pests.
|
||
• Use tank mixtures with insecticides from a different group that is equally effective on the
|
||
target pest when such use is permitted. DO NOT rely on the same mixture repeatedly for
|
||
the same pest population. Consider any known cross-resistance issues (for the targeted
|
||
pests) between the individual components of a mixture. In addition, consider the following
|
||
recommendations provided by the Insecticide Resistance Action Committee (IRAC).
|
||
o Individual insecticides selected for use in mixtures should be highly effective and
|
||
applied at the rates at which they are individually registered for use against the target
|
||
species.
|
||
o Mixtures with components having the same IRAC mode of action classification are not
|
||
recommended for insect resistance management.
|
||
o When using mixtures, consider any known cross-resistance issues between the
|
||
individual components for the targeted pest(s).
|
||
o Mixtures become less effective if resistance is already developing to one or both active
|
||
ingredients, but they may still provide pest management benefits.
|
||
o The insect resistance management benefits of an insecticide mixture are greatest if
|
||
the two components have similar periods of residual insecticidal activity. Mixtures of
|
||
insecticides with unequal periods of residual insecticidal activity may offer an insect
|
||
resistance management benefit only for the period where both insecticides are active.
|
||
• Adopt an integrated pest management program for insecticide use that includes scouting;
|
||
uses historical information related to pesticide use, crop rotation, and record keeping; and
|
||
considers cultural, biological, and other chemical control practices.
|
||
|
||
A23883 ST

|
||
• Monitor after application for unexpected target pest survival. If the level of survival
|
||
suggests the presence of resistance, consult with your local university specialist or
|
||
certified pest control advisor.
|
||
• Contact your local extension specialist or certified crop advisors for any additional
|
||
pesticide resistance management and/or IPM recommendations for the specific site and
|
||
pest problems in your area.

|
||
of the insect pests on this label.
|
||
|
||
3.1.2 Fungicide Resistance Management
|
||
For resistance management, please note that A23883 ST contains mefenoxam, a Group 4
|
||
fungicide; sedaxane, a Group 7 fungicide; azoxystrobin, a Group 11 fungicide; fludioxonil, a
|
||
Group 12 fungicide; and picarbutrazox, a Group U17 fungicide. Any fungal population may
|
||
contain individuals naturally resistant to A23883 ST and other Group 4, Group 7, Group 11,
|
||
Group 12, or Group U17 fungicides. A gradual or total loss of pest control may occur over
|
||
time if these fungicides are used repeatedly in the same fields. Appropriate resistance-
|
||
management strategies should be followed.
|
||
|
||
Mefenoxam belongs to the phenylamide class of chemistry which interferes with fungal RNA
|
||
synthesis. Sedaxane is a succinate dehydrogenase inhibitor (SDHI) and belongs to the
|
||
carboxamide class of chemistry which disrupts cellular respiration and energy generation.
|
||
Azoxystrobin belongs to the strobilurin class of chemistry which disrupts cellular respiration
|
||
and energy generation. Fludioxonil belongs to the phenylpyrrole class of chemistry which
|
||
interferes with osmotic signal transduction. Picarbutrazox belongs to the tetra-zolyloximes
|
||
class of fungicides and is not known to be cross-resistant with fungicides that have different
|
||
modes of action.
|
||
|
||
To delay fungicide resistance, take one or more of the following steps:
|
||
• Rotate the use of A23883 ST or other Group 4, Group 7, Group 11, Group 12, or Group
|
||
U17 fungicides within a growing season sequence with different groups that control the
|
||
same pathogens.
|
||
• Use tank mixtures with fungicide from a different group that are equally effective on the
|
||
target pest when such use is permitted. Use at least the minimum application rate as
|
||
labeled by the manufacturer.
|
||
• Adopt an integrated disease management program for fungicide use that includes
|
||
scouting, uses historical information related to pesticide use, and crop rotation, and which
|
||
considers host plant resistance, impact of environmental conditions on disease
|
||
development, disease thresholds, as well as cultural, biological and other chemical control
|
||
practices.
|
||
• Where possible, make use of predictive disease models to effectively time fungicide
|
||
applications. Note that using predictive models alone is not sufficient to manage
|
||
resistance.

4.0 APPLICATION DIRECTIONS
|
||
Important: Always recirculate A23883 ST thoroughly before using.
|
||
|
||
Follow the manufacturer’s application instructions for the seed treatment equipment being
|
||
used.
|
||
|
||
The typical density of A23883 ST is 9.51 pounds per gallon. Consult the manufacturer of the
|
||
application equipment you plan to use for suitability for this application and for instructions on
|
||
operation and calibration of the equipment. Follow the manufacturer’s application instructions
|
||
for the seed treatment equipment being used.
|
||
|
||
Apply A23883 ST as a water-based slurry utilizing standard slurry seed treatment equipment
|
||
that provides uniform seed coverage. Seed treaters with atomizers or spinning discs are
|
||
highly recommended for better product coverage on the seed. Uneven or incomplete seed
|
||
coverage may not give the desired level of insect or disease control. Thoroughly mix the
|
||
specified amount of A23883 ST into the required amount of water or liquid inoculant for the
|
||
slurry treater and dilution rate to be used.
|
||
Certain crops require addition of inoculants when the seed is treated or planted. A23883 ST
|
||
is compatible with several liquid inoculant products. Consult the maker of the inoculant
|
||
product and a Syngenta Crop Protection representative for directions before applying A23883
|
||
ST with inoculants.
|
||
Continuous agitation or mixing of the slurry mixture is necessary to prevent settling out of the
|
||
solution. Clean out any unused product from the treater after treating or maintain constant
|
||
agitation if the leftover slurry will be maintained overnight.
|
||
Allow seed to dry before bagging.
|
||
Follow planter manufacturer’s specifications for use of talc or other hopper box additives at
|
||
planting. Seed must be completely dry before adding to planter.
|
||
|
||

|
||
4.1 Tank Mixtures
|
||
A23883 ST mixes easily with water and other water-based seed treatments manufactured by
|
||
Syngenta. When mixing with products from other manufacturers, test the compatibility prior
|
||
to use by conducting a jar test: mix all intended seed treatments with a proportional amount
|
||
of water to achieve the desired slurry mixture in a clear glass container. Mix well and allow
|
||
mixture to sit for one hour. Remix and observe for incompatibility.
|
||
It is the pesticide user’s responsibility to ensure that all products are registered for the
|
||
intended use. Read and follow the applicable restrictions and limitations and directions for
|
||
use on all product labels involved in tank mixing. Users must follow the most restrictive
|
||
directions for use and precautionary statements of each product in the tank mixture.

7.0 SEED CONTAINER LABEL REQUIREMENTS
|
||
The Federal Seed Act requires that containers of treated seeds must be labeled with the
|
||
following statements:
|
||
• This seed has been treated with azoxystrobin, fludioxonil, sedaxane, mefenoxam, and
|
||
picarbutrazox fungicides and thiamethoxam insecticide.
|
||
• DO NOT use for feed, food, or oil purposes.
|
||
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency requires the following statements on containers
|
||
containing seed treated with A23883 ST:
|
||
• Store treated seed away from feed and foodstuffs.
|
||
• DO NOT allow children, pets, or livestock to have access to treated seed.
|
||
• Wear long-sleeved shirt, long pants and chemical resistant gloves when handling treated
|
||
seed.
|
||
• Treated seeds exposed on soil surface may be hazardous to wildlife. Cover or collect
|
||
treated seeds spilled during loading or planting.
|
||
• Treated seed must be planted into the soil at a depth greater than 1 inch.
|
||
• Dispose of all excess treated seed. Leftover treated seed may be double sown around
|
||
the headland or buried away from water sources in accordance with local requirements.
|
||
• Excess treated seed may be used for ethanol production only if (1) by-products are not
|
||
used for livestock feed and (2) no measurable residues of pesticide remain in the ethanol
|
||
by-products that are used for agronomic practice.
|
||
• DO NOT contaminate water bodies when disposing of planting equipment washwaters.
|
||
• Dispose of seed packaging in accordance with local requirements.
|
||
• Groundwater Advisory: Azoxystrobin, a degradate of azoxystrobin, and mefenoxam are
