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).

|
||
2.0 ounce soluble packets that readily dissohe in water.
|
||
• SYNCHRONY® STS® SP may be used in conventional,
|
||
na-till. or conservation tillage soybean prod:r..:ction.
|
||
TIming To Crop Stage
|
||
SYNCHRONY® STSQ> SP, for in-season me, may be
|
||
applied any time after the first trifoliate has "P"'ed but no
|
||
later than 60 days before soybean maturity .
|
||
• SYNCHRONY® STS® SP, for burndown U!e, may be
|
||
applied up to 30 days before planting, or prior to soybean
|
||
emergence after planting.
|
||
TIming To Weeds
|
||
• Apply SYNCHRONY® STS® SP when weeds are young
|
||
and actively growing (after the fIrst true leaves have
|
||
expanded, but before the weeds exceed the size indicated
|
||
below).
|
||
Applications made to weeds larger than the sizes indicated
|
||
below, or to weeds under stress, may result in unsatisfactory
|
||
control
|
||
Applications made after July 15 may result in less than
|
||
satisfactory weed control due to the large sizes of the weeds
|
||
aod increased weather stress.
|
||
Tank Mix Restrictlons
|
||
"'nen tank mixing SYNCHRONY® STS® SP with any other
|
||
approved soybean pesticide, always read and follow all use

|
||
most restrictive labeling applies.
|
||
Cultivation
|
||
Do not cultivate within 7 days of application. Cultivation
|
||
may put weeds under stress by pruning roots, thus
|
||
diminishing control.
|
||
Cultivation approximately 14 days after application will help
|
||
control suppressed weeds.

|
||
0.Q75 - 0.3 oz per acre to 0.5 oz per acre SYNCHRONY® STS®
|
||
SP. These tankrnixes will control up to 10" Cocklebur or
|
||
Common Ragweed and up to 12" Giant Ragweed. Use a lower
|
||
amount of ''FirstRate'' when weeds are less than the maximum
|
||
size and under good growing conditions. Use a higher amount of
|
||
"FirstRate" when weeds are approaching the maximum size
|
||
andlor under unfavorable growing conditions.
|
||
A good quality petroleum-based or methylated seed oil-based
|
||
crop oil concentrate must be added to the tank mix at the rate of 8
|
||
pints per 100 gallons of spray solution or at 1% vlv. An
|
||
ammonium nitrogen fertilizer may be added as directed under the

|
||
improved control of giant ragweed up to 4" tall, annual
|
||
momingglory and other broadleaf weeds.
|
||
• Applications ofSYNCHRONY® STS® SP and 2,4-DBmust
|
||
include a nonionic surfactant at the rate of 2 pints per 100 gal
|
||
or crop oil concentrate at 8 pints per 100 gal of spray solution
|
||
(1.0% v/v). See Spray Additives.
|
||
• Apply a tank mix ofSYNCHRONY® STS® SP and 2,4-DB
|
||
by ground only.

|
||
conditions are excessively hot and dry ( > 90
|
||
0
|
||
P and < 30%
|
||
relative humidity), make applications at the rate of2 f1 oz of
|
||
2,4-DB and SYNCHRONY® STS® SP.
|
||
• The use of crop oil concentrate may increase temporary
|
||
injury to soybeans.
|
||
Some crop response may occur 5-7 days after application of
|
||
SYNCHRONY® STS® SP and 2,4-DB to soybeans under
|
||
stress. Temporary yellowing, leaf crinkling, andlor soybean
|
||
growth retardation may occur following application of

Precautions for 0.25 oz SYNCHRONY® STS® SP uses
|
||
• A temporary crop response may occur following an
|
||
application of SYNCHRONY® STS® SP to soybeans not
|
||
designated "STS" in the variety name.
|
||
• Applications made when the crop and weeds are under stress
|
||
from moisture, cold, heat, high humidity, disease, insect
|
||
pressure and prior herbicide stress may result in excessive
|
||
crop response and/or reduced weed control effectiveness.
|
||
• Do not tankmix "Poast Plus" with 0.25 ovacre
|
||
SYNCHRONY® STS® SP unless the soybean is designated
|
||
as an 4'STS" variety.

|
||
APPUCATION EQUIPMENT
|
||
Ground Application
|
||
(See Also Spray Drift Management)
|
||
Broadcast Application
|
||
Postemergence in soybeans, use a minimum of I 0 gal water
|
||
per acre. Under heavy weed pressure or dense crop foliage,
|
||
increase minimum spray volume to 15-25 gal per acre.
|
||
Use flat fan nozzles at 25-60 psi for SYNCHRONY® ST~
|
||
SP applications.
|
||
For burndown applications of existing vegetation, flat fan
|
||
nozzles and a minimum of20 gallons per acre are
|
||
recommended so as to thoroughly wet the foliage to be burned
|
||
down.
|
||
Do not use flood, rain drop, whirl chamber, or controlled
|
||
droplet applicator (CDA) type nozzles. Unacceptable crop
|
||
injury, excessive spray drift, or poor weed control may resuh.
|
||
For proper spray coverage adjust the boom and nozzle height
|
||
according to the specifications listed by the nozzle
|
||
manufacturer.
|
||
Band Application
|
||
Because band applicators spray a narrower area than broadcast
|
||
applicators, use proportionately less spray solution for band
|
||
applications.
|
||
Carefully calibrate the band applicator to not exceed the
|
||
labeled rate.
|
||
Flat fan nozzles are recommended.
|
||
Carefully follow the n07Zle manufacturer's instructions for
|
||
nozzle orientation, distance of the n07Zies ftom the crop and
|
||
weeds, spray volumes, calibration, and spray pressure for band
|
||
applications.
|
||
• For additional infonnation on row banders, see DuPont
|
||
bulletin, "Application Accuracy - Row Banders."
|
||
Aerial Application
|
||
(See Also Spray Drift Management)
|
||
• Use nozzle types and arrangements that will provide optimum
|
||
spray distribution and maximum coverage at 3-5 gal per acre.
|
||
• Use a minimum of 3 gal water per acre. Under heavy weed
|
||
pressure or dense crop foliage, increase the minimum spray
|
||
vohnne to 5 gal per acre.
|
||
Do not apply during a temperature inversion, when winds are
|
||
gusty, or when other conditions could produce poor coverage
|
||
andlor off-largetspray movement.
|
||
ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
|
||
AND BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITY
|
||
SYNCHRONY® STS® SP rapidly inhibits the growth of
|
||
susceptible weeds. Leaves of susceptible plants yellow 3-5 dsys
|
||
after application, fullowed, in controlled plants, by the death of
|
||
the growing point. SYNCHRONY® STS® SP will provide
|
||
complete control of suscepltble weeds in 7-21 days. Suppressed
|
||
plants may remain green but will be stunted and noncompetitive.
|
||
Stress affects some weeds, such as pigweed, more than others.
|
||
Delay application until suess passes and weeds start to grow
|
||
again.
|
||
Severe stress (drought. disease, insect dsmage, or nutrient
|
||
deficiency such as iron chlorosis) following application may also
|
||
result in poor weed control.
|
||
Do not apply S~CHRONY® STS® SP if rain is expected
|
||
within 1 hour or weed control may decrease.

|
||
THE IMPORTANCE OF SOIL PH
|
||
Soil pH varies greatly, even within the same field. pH variations
|
||
as much as 2 pH units are common. Composite soil samples
|
||
taken across an entire field, such as those samples taken for soil
|
||
fertility recommendations, may not detect areas of high pH. Sub
|
||
sampling is recommended for areas ~'kely to have pH values
|
||
higher than the field average. The following is a non-inclusive
|
||
list of potential high pH areas where subsampling is
|
||
recommended
|
||
Where different soil types are evident within a field, sample
|
||
soil types separately.
|
||
Where conditions vary within a field, sample areas separately,
|
||
such as:
|
||
- areas bordered by limestone gravel roads,
|
||
|
||
- river bottoms subject to flooding,
|
||
- low areas in hardpan soils where evaporative ponds
|
||
may occur,
|
||
- eroded hillsides,
|
||
- along drain tile lines, and
|
||
- areas where drainage ditch spoil has been spread.
|
||
Where lime has not been deeply incorporated, soil may exlubit
|
||
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.
|
||
Detennine soil pH by laboratory analysis using a I: I soil:water
|
||
suspension.
|
||
SPRAYER PREPARATION AND CLEANUP
|
||
Prior to application of DuPont™ SYNCHRONY® STS®
|
||
SP, start with clean, well maintained application equipment.
|
||
hnmediately following application, thoroughly clean all
|
||
application equipment. Postponing action, even for a few
|
||
hours, only makes effective cleanup more difficnlt. Failure to
|
||
clean spraying equipment thoroughly may resnlt in injury to
|
||
subsequently sprayed crops.
|
||
When spraying mUltiple loads of SYNCHRONY® STS® SP
|
||
over an extended period of time, rinse the equipment with
|
||
clean water at the end of the day. Leave water in the equipment
|
||
ovemight to prevent deposits from drying on surfaces.
|
||
When applications of SYNCHRONY® STS® SP are
|
||
completed and prior to using the sprayer and associated
|
||
equipment for other products or for crops other than soybeans,
|
||
thoroughly clean the equipment using the procedure below.
|
||
STEP 1. Drain spray equipment. Thoroughly rinse sprayer, and
|
||
flush hoses, boom and nozzles with clean water.
|
||
Loosen and physically remove visible deposits.
|
||
STEP 2. Fill the sprayer with clean water and add household
|
||
ammonia (one gallon of3% active for every 100
|
||
gallons of water) or correct amount of a DuPont
|
||
approved cleaner*. Flush hoses, boom and nozzles.
|
||
Tum off the boom and top off the tank with clean
|
||
water. Circulate through the spraying system for IS
|
||
minutes. Flush the hoses, boom and nozzles with the
|
||
cleaning solution. Drain the tank.
|
||
STEP 3. Remove and clean nozzle., screens and strainers in a
|
||
bucket of fresh cleaner and water.
|
||
STEP 4. Repeat STEP 2.
|
||
STEP 5. Thoroughly rinse the sprayer, hoses, boom and

SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT
|
||
The interac:ion of many equipment and weather-related
|
||
factors dere:mines the potential for spray drift. The
|
||
applicator i; responsible for considering all these factors
|
||
when making application decisions.
|
||
A VOIDING SPRAY DRIFT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY
|
||
OF THE APPLICATOR.
|
||
IMPORTANCE OF DROPLET SIZE
|
||
The most effective way to reduce drift potential is to apply
|
||
large droplas (> ISO - 200 microns). The best drift
|
||
management strategy is to apply the largest droplets that
|
||
provide sufficient coverage and control. The presence of
|
||
sensitive species nearby. the environmental conditions, and
|
||
pest pressuro may affect how an applicator halances drift
|
||
control and coverage. APPLYING LARGER DROPLETS
|
||
REDUCES DRIFT POTENTIAL, BUT WILL NOT
|
||
PREVENT DRIFT IF APPLICA nONS ARE MADE
|
||
IMPROPERLY OR UNDER UNFAVORABLE
|
||
ENVIROm.!ENTAL CONDmONS! See Wind,
|
||
Temperature and Humidity, and Temperature Inversions
|
||
sections of uus label.
|
||
Controlling Droplet Size· General Techniques
|
||
Volume - Use high flow rate nozzles to apply the highest
|
||
practical ;pray volume. Nozzles with higher rated flows
|
||
produce larger droplets.
|
||
8
|
||
Pressure - Use the lower spray pressures recommended
|
||
for the nozzle. Higher pressure reduces droplet size and
|
||
does not i:uprove canopy penetration. WHEN HIGHER
|
||
FLOW R.\ TES ARE NEEDED, USE A HlGHER
|
||
CAPACITY NOZZLE INSTEAD OF INCREASING
|
||
PRESSURE.
|
||
Nozzle Type - Use a nozzle type that is designed for the
|
||
intended application. With most nozzle types, narrower
|
||
spray ang'es produce larger droplets. Consider using low
|
||
drift nozzles.
|
||
Controlling Droplet Size· Aircraft
|
||
Number of Nozzles - Use CIe minimum number of nozzles
|
||
with the tighest flow rate that provide uniform coverage.
|
||
Nozzle Orientation - Orienting nozzles so that the spray is
|
||
emitted backwards, parallel to the airstream will produce
|
||
larger drop lets than other orientations.
|
||
Nozzle Type - Solid stream nozzles (such as disc and core
|
||
with s" .. if. plate removed) oriented straight back produce
|
||
larger droplets than other nozzle types.
|
||
Boom Length - The boom length should not exceed 3/4 of
|
||
the wing .x rotor length - longer booms increase drift
|
||
potential.
|
||
Application Height· Application more than lOft above
|
||
the canory increases the potential for spray drift.-
|
||
BOOM HEIGHT
|
||
Setting the boom at the lowest labeled height (if specified)
|
||
which pro\ides uniform coverage reduces the exposure of
|
||
droplets to evaporation and ",;nd. For ground equipment, the
|
||
boom ShOl.Ld remain level with the crop and have minimal
|
||
bounce.
|
||
|
||
(
|
||
WIND
|
||
Drift potential increases at wind speeds ofless than 3 mph
|
||
(due to inversion potential) or more than 10 mph. However,
|
||
many factors, including droplet size and equipment type
|
||
determine drift potential at any given wind speed. AVOID
|
||
GUSTY OR WINDLESS CONDITIONS.
|
||
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 hot and dry conditions, set up
|
||
equipment to produce larger droplets to reduce effects of
|
||
evaporation.
|
||
TEMPERATURE INVERSIONS
|
||
Drift potential is high during a temperature inversion.
|
||
Temperature 'inversions restrict vertical air mixing, which
|
||
causes small suspended droplets to remain close to the
|
||
ground and move laterally in a concentrated cloud.
|
||
Temperature inversions are characterized by increasing
|
||
temperature 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 moming. 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.
|
||
SHIELDED SPRAYERS
|
||
Shielding the boom or individual nozzles can reduce the
|
||
effects of wind. However, it is the responsibility of the
|
||
applicator to verify that the shields are preventing drift and
|
||
not interfering with uniform deposition of the product.
|
||
AIR ASSISTED (AIR BLAST)
|
||
FIELD CROP SPRAYERS
|
||
Air assisted field crop sprayers carry droplets to the target via
|
||
a downward directed air stream. Some may reduce the
|
||
potential for drift, but if a sprayer is unsuitable for the
|
||
application andlor set up improperly, high drift potential can
|
||
result. It is the responsibility of the applicator to determine
|
||
that a sprayer is suitable for the intended application, is
|
||
configured properly, and that drift is not occurring.
|
||
Note: Air assisted field sprayers can affect product
|
||
performance by affecting spray coverage and canopy
|
||
penetration. Consult the application equipment section of
|
||
this label to detennine ifuse of an air assisted sprayer is
|
||
recommended.
|
||
AIR ASSISTED (AIR BLAST)
|
||
TREE AND VINE SPRAYERS
|
||
Air assisted tree and vine sprayers carry droplets into "oe
|
||
canopy of trees and vines via a radially or laterally directed
|
||
air stream. These sprayers are not suitable for applying
|
||
herbicides.
|
||
In addition to the general drift management principles
|
||
already descn"bed, the f()llowing specific practices will
|
||
further reduce the potential for drift.:
|
||
• Adjust deflectors and aiming devices so that spray is only
|
||
directed into the canopy.
|
||
BlDek off upward pointed nozzles when there is no
|
||
overhanging ClDWpy.
|
||
Use only enough air volume to penetrate the canopy and
|
||
provide good coverage.
|
||
• Do not allow spray to go beyond the edge oj the cultivated
|
||
area. Spray the outside row only from outside the
|
||
planting.
