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).

|
||
• Users should remove PPE immediately after handling this product. Wash the outside of gloves before removing. As soon as
|
||
possible, wash thoroughly and change into clean clothing.
|
||
• Users should wash hands before eating, drinking, chewing gum, using tobacco, or using the toilet.
|
||
USER SAFETY REQUIREMENTS
|
||

|
||
Keep and wash PPE separately from other laundry.
|
||
ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS
|
||
This pesticide is toxic to fish, aquatic invertebrates, estuarine/marine invertebrates, and freshwater/estuarine/marine aquatic plants. Applying
|
||
this product when rain is not predicted for the next 48 hours will help reduce potential risk to aquatic invertebrates by reducing pesticide runoff
|
||
from the treatment area into water bodies. Do not apply directly to water, or to areas where surface water is present or to intertidal areas below
|
||
the mean high water mark. Drift and runoff may be hazardous to aquatic organisms in water adjacent to treated areas. Do not contaminate
|
||
water when disposing of equipment washwater or rinsate.
|
||
Surface Water Advisory
|
||
Do not apply directly to water, or to areas where surface water is present, or to intertidal areas below the mean high water mark. Do not
|
||
contaminate water when disposing of equipment washwater or rinsate.
|
||
This product may impact surface water quality due to runoff of rain water. This is especially true for poorly draining soils and soils with shallow
|
||
ground water. This product is classified as having high potential for reaching surface water via runoff for several months or more after
|
||
application. A level, well-maintained vegetative buffer strip between areas to which this product is applied and surface water features such as
|
||
ponds, streams, and springs will reduce the potential loading of Fluopyram. Runoff of this product will be reduced by avoiding applications when
|
||
rainfall or irrigation is expected to occur within 48 hours. Sound erosion control practices will reduce this product’s potential to reach aquatic
|
||
sediment via runoff. Prothioconazole-desthio (a degradate of prothioconazole) is known to leach through soil into ground water under certain
|
||
conditions as a result of label use. Use of this chemical in areas where soils are permeable, particularly where the water table is shallow, may
|
||
result in ground-water contamination.
|
||
Ground Water Advisory
|
||
These chemicals have properties and characteristics associated with chemicals detected in ground water. These chemicals may leach into
|
||
groundwater if used in areas where soils are permeable, particularly where the water table is shallow.
|
||
Prothioconazole-desthio (a degradate of prothioconazole) is known to leach through soil into ground water under certain conditions as a result
|
||

|
||
contamination.
|
||
Run Off Management
|
||
This product may impact surface water quality due to runoff of rain water. This is especially true for poorly draining soils and soils with shallow
|
||
ground water. This product is classified as having high potential for reaching surface water via runoff for several months or more after

||
PRODUCT INFORMATION
|
||
USF 0411:
|
||
• is a broad spectrum fungicide for the control of certain diseases of Corn, Soybean, Sweet corn and Wheat;
|
||
• works by interfering with both energy and cell membrane production by plant pathogenic fungi. Equipment must be properly calibrated
|
||
before use.
|
||
USE RESTRICTIONS
|
||
• Under certain conditions conducive to extended infection periods, additional fungicide applications beyond the number allowed by this
|
||
label may be needed. Under these conditions, use another fungicide registered for the crop/disease.
|
||
• Do not apply more than 2 sequential applications of USF 0411 or any other QoI Group 11 or Group 7 containing fungicide without
|
||
alternation with a fungicide from another group.
|
||
• Not registered for aerial application in New York State.
|
||
|
||
5
|
||
Refer to the specific use directions and restrictions in each Crop table.
|
||
APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
|
||
• USF 0411 may be applied by ground, air (except in New York), or chemigation.
|
||
• Use of an adjuvant may enhance the performance of USF 0411.
|
||
Aerial Application
|
||
Avoid application under conditions when uniform coverage cannot be obtained or when excessive spray drift may occur. Do not apply directly to
|
||
humans or animals. Not registered for aerial application in New York State. Refer to specific crop sections for water carrier volume restrictions.
|
||
Ground Application
|
||
Applications using sufficient water volume to provide thorough and uniform coverage generally provide the most effective diseas e control. Refer
|
||
to specific crop sections for water carrier volume restrictions.
|
||
Ground Application (Broadcast)
|
||
Equip sprayers with nozzles that provide accurate and uniform application. Nozzle selection, spraying pressures, carrier volume and application
|
||
speeds are critical for maximum efficacy. Select nozzles that deliver Fine to Medium droplets and operate them within the pressures specified
|
||
by the manufacturer. Adjust application speeds to allow for canopy penetration and coverage of the leaf surface. Be certain that nozzles are the
|
||
same size and uniformly spaced across the boom. Calibrate the sprayer before use and replace worn or damaged nozzles.
|
||
Use a pump with sufficient agitation capacity in the tank to keep the mixture in suspension. This requires recirculation of 10% of the tank
|
||
volume per minute. Use jet agitators or a liquid spurge tube for vigorous agitation.
|
||
Use screens to protect the pump and to prevent nozzles from clogging. Check nozzle manufacturer’s recommendations. For information on
|
||
spray equipment and calibration, consult sprayer manufacturer’s and/or state recommendations.
|
||
For specific local directions and spray schedules, consult the current state agricultural experiment station recommendations.
|
||
CHEMIGATION
|
||
USF 0411 alone or in combination with other pesticides which are registered for application through irrigation systems, may be applied through
|
||
irrigation systems.
|
||
Illegal pesticide residues in the crop can result from non- uniform distribution of treated water. If you have questions about calibration, you
|
||
should contact State Extension Service specialists, equipment manufacturers, or other experts. Do not connect an irrigation system (including
|
||
greenhouse systems) used for pesticide application to a public water system, unless the pesticide label-prescribed safety devices for public
|
||
water systems are in place. A person knowledgeable of the chemigation system and responsible for its operation, or under the supervision of
|
||
the responsible person, shall shut the system down and make necessary adjustments should the need arise.
|
||
Types of irrigation systems
|
||
Apply this product only through the following types of irrigation systems:
|
||
• center pivot
|
||
• solid set
|
||
• hand move
|
||
• moving wheel irrigation systems.
|
||
Do not apply this product through any other type of irrigation system.
|
||
Crop injury, lack of effectiveness, or illegal pesticide residues in the crop can result from non-uniform distribution of treated water. If you have
|
||
questions about calibration, you should contact State Extension Service specialists, equipment manufacturers or other experts. A person
|
||
knowledgeable of the chemigation system and responsible for its operation or under the supervision of the responsible person, shall shut the
|
||
system down and make necessary adjustments should the need arise.
|
||
Do not connect an irrigation system (including greenhouse systems) used for pesticide application to a public water system, unless the
|
||
pesticide label prescribed safety devices for public water systems are in place. ‘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. Chemigation systems connected to public water systems must contain a functional, reduced-
|
||
pressure zone (RPZ), back flow preventer or the functional equivalent in the water supply line upstream from the point of pesticide introduction.
|
||
As an alternative 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 complete physical break (air gap) between the flow 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. The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional, automatic, quick-closing check valve
|
||
to prevent the flow of fluid back toward the injection pump. 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
|
||
|
||
6
|
||
from the supply tank when the irrigation system is either automatically or manually shut down. The systems 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. 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. Do not apply when wind speed favors drift.
|
||
Required System Safety Devices
|
||
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 contamination 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 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. 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) effectively designed and constructed of materials that are compatible with pesticides and capable of being fitted with a
|
||
system interlock.
|
||
Do not apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the area intended for treatment.
|
||
Center-Pivot
|
||
Use only with drive systems which provide uniform water distribution. Do not use end guns when chemigating USF 0411 through center pivot
|
||
systems because of non-uniform application.
|
||
Determine the size of the area to be treated. Determine the time required to apply 1/8-1/2 inch of water over the area to be treated when the
|
||
system and injection equipment are operated at normal pressures as recommended by the equipment manufacturer. When applying USF 0411
|
||
through irrigation equipment use the lowest obtainable water volume while maintaining uniform distribution. Run the system at 80-95% of the
|
||
manufacturer’s rated capacity. Using water, determine the injection pump output when operated at normal line pressure. Determine the amount
|
||
of USF 0411 required to treat the area covered by the irrigation system. Add the required amount of USF 0411 and sufficient water to meet the
|
||
injection time requirements to the solution tank. Make sure the system is fully charged with water before starting injection of the USF 0411
|
||
solution. Time the injection to last at least as long as it takes to bring the system to full pressure. Maintain constant solution tank agitation
|
||
during the injection period. Continue to operate the system until the USF 0411 solution has cleared the sprinkler head.
|
||
Solid Set, Hand Move and Moving Wheel
|
||
When applying USF 0411 through irrigation equipment use the lowest obtainable water volume while maintaining uniform distribution.
|
||
Determine the amount of USF 0411 required to treat the area covered by the irrigation system. Add the required amount of USF 0411 into the
|
||
same quantity of water used to calibrate the injection period. Operate the system at the same pressure and time interval established during the
|
||
calibration. Stop injection equipment after treatment is completed. Continue to operate the system until the USF 0411 solution has cleared the
|
||
last sprinkler head.
|
||
SPRAY DRIFT
|
||
Aerial Applications
|
||
• For aerial applications, do not apply when wind speeds exceed 15 mph at the application site. If the wind speed is greater than I0
|
||
mph, the boom length must be 65% or less of the wingspan for fixed wing aircraft and 75% or less of the rotor diameter for
|
||
helicopters. Otherwise, the boom length must be 75% or less of the wingspan for fixed-wing aircraft and 90% or less of the rotor
|
||
diameter for helicopters.
|
||
• Do not release spray at a height greater than 10 ft above the ground or vegetative canopy, unless a greater application height is
|
||
necessary for pilot safety.
|
||
• Applicators must use ½ swath displacement upwind at the downwind edge of the field.
|
||
• Do not apply during temperature inversions.
|
||
Ground Boom Application
|
||
• Apply with the nozzle height recommended by the manufacturer, but no more than 4 feet above the ground or crop canopy.
|
||
• Applicators are required to use a medium or coarser droplet size (ASABE S572. I).
|
||
• Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 15 miles per hour at the application site.
|
||
• Do not apply during temperature inversions.
|
||
Spray Drift Advisories
|
||
THE APPLICATOR IS RESPONSIBLE FOR AVOIDING OFF-SITE SPRAY DRIFT. BE AWARE OF NEARBY NON-TARGET SITES AND
|
||
ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS.
|
||
|
||

|
||
Importance of Droplet Size
|
||
An effective way to reduce spray drift is to apply large droplets. Use the largest droplets that provide target pest control. While applying larger
|
||
droplets will reduce spray drift, the potential for drift will be greater if applications are made improperly or under unfavorable environmental
|
||
conditions.
|
||
Controlling Droplet Size - Ground Boom
|
||
• Volume -Increasing the spray volume so that larger droplets are produced will reduce spray drift. Use the highest practical spray
|
||
volume for the application. If a greater spray volume is needed, consider using a nozzle with a higher flow rate.
|
||
• Pressure -Use the lowest spray pressure recommended for the nozzle to produce the target spray volume and droplet size.
|
||
• Spray Nozzle -Use a spray nozzle that is designed for the intended application. Consider using nozzles designed to reduce drift.
|
||
Controlling Droplet Size – Aircraft
|
||
• Adjust Nozzles - Follow nozzle manufacturers recommendations for setting up nozzles. Generally, to reduce fine droplets, nozzles
|
||
should be oriented parallel with the airflow in flight.
|
||
Boom Height-Ground Boom
|
||
For ground equipment, the boom should remain level with the crop and have minimal bounce.
|
||
Release Height – Aircraft
|
||
Higher release heights increase the potential for spray drift.
|
||
Shielded Sprayers
|
||
Shielding the boom or individual nozzles can reduce spray drift. Consider using shielded sprayers. Verify that the shields are not interfering with
|
||
the uniform deposition of the spray on the target area.
|
||
Temperature And Humidity
|
||
When making applications in hot and dry conditions, use larger droplets to reduce effects of evaporation.
|
||
Temperature Inversions
|
||
Drift potential is high during a temperature inversion. Temperature inversions are characterized by increasing temperature with altitude and are
|
||
common on nights with limited cloud cover and light to no wind. The presence of an inversion can be indicated by ground fog or 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.
|
||
Avoid applications during temperature inversions.
|
||
Wind
|
||
Drift potential generally increases with wind speed. AVOID APPLICATIONS DURING GUSTY WIND CONDITIONS. Applicators need to be
|
||
familiar with local wind patterns and terrain that could affect spray drift.
|
||
COMPATIBILITY TESTING AND TANK MIX PARTNERS
|
||
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.
|
||
When using USF 0411 in tank mixtures, all products in water-soluble packaging should be added to the tank before any other tank-mix partner,
|
||
including USF 0411. Allow the water-soluble packaging to completely dissolve and the product(s) to completely disperse before adding any
|
||
other tank-mix partner to the tank. If using USF 0411 in a tank mixture, observe all directions for use, crop/sites, use rates, dilution ratios,
|
||
precautions, and limitations which appear on the tank-mix partner product label. No label dosage rate should be exceeded, and the most
|
||
restrictive label precautions and limitations should be followed. This product must not be mixed with any product which prohibits such mixing.
|
||
Tank mixtures or other applications of products referenced on this label are permitted only in those states in which the referenced products are
|
||
registered.
|
||
Compatibility
|
||
USF 0411 is compatible with most insecticide, fungicide, and foliar nutrient products. However, the physical compatibility of USF 0411 with
|
||
tank-mix partners should be tested before use. To determine the physical compatibility of USF 0411 with other products, use a jar test, as
|
||
described below.
|
||
|
||
8
|
||
Using a quart jar, add the proportionate amounts of the products to 1 qt. of water. Add wettable powders and water-dispersible granular
|
||
products first, then liquid flowables, and emulsifiable concentrates last. After thoroughly mixing, let stand for at least 5 minutes. If the
|
||
combination remains mixed or can be remixed readily, it is physically compatible. Once compatibility has been proven, use the same procedure
|
||
for adding required ingredients to the spray tank.
|
||
The crop safety of all potential tank mixes including additives and other pesticides on all crops has not been tested. Before applying any tank
|
||
mixture not specifically recommended on this label, the safety to the target crop should be confirmed. To test for crop safety, apply USF 0411 to
|
||
the target crop in a small area and in accordance with label instructions for the target crop.
|
||
Order of Mixing
|
||
Prepare no more spray mixture than is needed for the immediate operation. Thoroughly clean spray equipment before using this product.
|
||
Vigorous agitation is necessary for proper dispersal of the product. Maintain maximum agitation throughout the spraying operation. Do not let
|
||
the spray mixture stand overnight in the spray tank. Flush the spray equipment thoroughly following each use and apply the rinsate to a
|
||
previously treated area.
|
||
USF 0411 Alone:
|
||
1. Add approximately 1/2 of the required amount of water to the mix tank.
|
||
2. With the agitator running, add the USF 0411 to the tank. Continue agitation while adding the remainder of the water.
|
||
3. Begin application of the solution after the USF 0411 has completely and uniformly dispersed into the mix water.
|
||
4. Maintain agitation until all of the mixture has been applied.
|
||
USF 0411 + Tank Mix Partners:
|
||
Add approximately 1/2 of the required amount of water to the mix tank. Start the agitator running before adding any tank-mix partners. In
|
||
general, tank-mix partners should be added in this order:
|
||
1. Products packaged in watersoluble packaging
|
||
2. Wettable powders, wettable granules (dry flowables)
|
||
3. USF 0411
|
||
4. Other liquid flowables
|
||
5. Emulsifiable concentrates
|
||
6. Water soluble liquids
|
||
7. Adjuvents
|
||
Always allow each tank-mix partner to become fully and uniformly dispersed before adding the next product. Provide sufficient agitation while
|
||
adding the remainder of the water. Maintain agitation until all of the mixture has been applied.
|
||

FUNGICIDE RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT (FRAC) RECOMMENDATIONS
|
||
For resistance management, please note that USF 0411 contains a Group 3 (prothioconazole), Group 11 (trifloxystrobin) and Group 7
|
||
(fluopyram) fungicide. Any fungal population may contain individuals naturally resistant to USF 0411 and other Group 3 (prothioconazole),
|
||
Group 11 (trifloxystrobin) and Group 7 (fluopyram) 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.
|
||
To delay fungicide resistance, take one or more of the following steps:
|
||
• Rotate the use of USF 0411 or other Group Group 3 (prothioconazole), Group 11 (trifloxystrobin) and Group 7 (fluopyram) fungicide
|
||
within a growing season sequence with different groups that control the same pathogens.
|
||
• Use tank mixtures with fungicides 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.
|
||
• Monitor treated fungal/bacterial populations for resistance development.
|
||
• Contact your local extension specialist or certified crop advisor for any additional pesticide resistance-management and/or IPM
|
||
recommendations for specific crops and pathogens.
|
||
• For further information or to report suspected resistance contact Bayer CropScience at 1-866-99BAYER (1-866-992-2937). You can
|
||
also contact your pesticide distributor or university extension specialist to report resistance.
|
||
