docker: production image + Gitea Actions for monthly refresh
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).

I. General Information
For broad-spectrum control of grass and broad,eat \\ieeds
in soybeans, Squadron~ herbicide may be appiie~; as 2
prepiant Incorporated or pre-emergence tr8atmen~
After Squadron IS applied, some suscept:bl8 weeds
emerge, growth stops, and then the weeds Bither C11~ ,:J~
are not competitive with the crop.
A timel)' cultivation may aid in the contra, of cenai;; ,'\i9~~ds
or Improve general weed contrOl '/ .... hen adequate mOlstur~
is not received after application. Cultivation shoulc b8 sha!·
low.
Squadron reaches the growing pOints of sLiscept'bl~
weeds either by direct contact In the SOl!, or by root
uptake and rapid translocation to the growing pOints
Therefore, adequate soil moisture IS Important fo~ 8Pt.'llUm
Squadron activity. The amount of rainfall or Irngall:m
required following application depends on eXlst:ng 501'
moisture, soil texture and organic matter content
SuffiCient water to mOisten the soil to a depth of 2 In::hes
is normaliy adequate. If adequate mOisture is not re,::;elved
within 7 days after treatment. then a cultivation or 003t8-
mergence herbiCide appiicatlon may be needed to Imarove
weed control. When adequate moisture is rec:slvecJ after
dry conditions, Squadron wili provide residual contro~ of
susceptible germinating weeds; a::tlvity on established
weeds will depend on the weed species and the IDeation
of its root system in the soil.
DO NOT apply Squadron post emergence to soybeans as
crop injUry may occur.
DO NOT APPLY SQUADRON OR ITS TANK MIX­
TURES PRE-EMERGENCE IN SOUTH DAKOTA.
DO NOT use Squadron other than In accordance With
the instructions set forth on this label or approved supple­
mental labels.
Crops other than soybeans, such as cotton, corn. grain
sorghum, nce and vegetables, may be Injured by spray
drift or other Indirect contact with Squadron.
To aVOid Injury to sensitive crops from spray dnft, follow all
use directions and precautions In SPRAYING INSTRUC­
TIONS section.

Avoiding spray drift at the application site IS the respons;­
billty 01 the appll~ator. The interaction of many eou;P~lellt­
and weather-related factors determine the potentia' fo~
spray drift. The applicator and the grower are respJr.s:01e
for considering all these factors when making deciSions.
The following drift management requirements mus: 08 io:­
iowed to avoid off-target drift movement from aena: appli­
cations to agricultura~ field crops,
1. The distance 01 the outermost nozzles on the boorT'
must not exceed 3;4 the length of the wingspan or
rotor.
2. Nozzles must always point backward paralle: ~\'itn the
air stream and never be pOinted downwards more
than 45 degrees.
Where states have more stringent regulations, the)' shou!d
be observed.
The applicator should be familiar with and take Into
account the Information covered in the Aerial Drift
Reduction AdVISOry Information presented below.
INFORMATION ON DROPLET SIZE:
The most effective way to reduce drift potential is tJ 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 poten~
tial, but will not prevent drift if applications are made
improperly, or under unfavorable environmental conditions
(see WIND, TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY, and
TEMPERATURE INVERSIONS).
CONTROLLING DROPLET SIZE
Volume ~ Use high flow rate nozzles to apply the
highest practical spray volume. Nozzles with higher
rated flows produce larger droplets.
Pressure - Do not exceed the nozzle manufacturer's
recommended pressures. For many nozzle types, lower
pressure produces larger droplets. When higher flow
rates are needed, use higher flow rate nozzles instead
01 increasing pressure.
Number of Nozzles - Use the minimum number of
nozzles that provide uniform coverage.

TEMPERATURE INVERSIONS

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 pres­
ence can be indicated by ground fog; however, jf 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 iow
wind conditions) Indicates an InverSion, while smoke that
moves upward and rapidly dissipates indicates good verti­
cal air mixing.
SENSITIVE AREAS
The pesticide shoJld only be applied when the potential
for drift to adjacent sensitive areas (e.g. residential areas,
bodies of water. known habitat for threatened or endan­
gered species. or non-target crops) is minimal (e.g. when
wind is blOWing away trom the sensitive areas).
Applicator IS responsib,e for any loss or damage which
results from spraying PURSUIT PLUS EC in a manner
other than recommended In thiS label. In addition, applica­
tor must follow a!' applicable state and local regulations
and ordinances In regard to spraying.
APPLICATIONS WITH FERTILIZERS
APPLICATIONS WITH LIQUID FERTILIZERS
Squadron" herbicide can be applied with liquid fertilizers,
alone or in combination with PROWL 3.3 EC or
Command 4EC. Follow all Squadron label recommenda­
tions regarding Incorporation, timing of application, special
instructions and precautions. For other Squadron tank
mix partners. refer to the individual product labels for spe­
cific recommendations for using these products with liquid
fertilizers. Apply treatments In 20 or more gallons of liquid
fertilizer per acre with ground equipment. Maintain continu­
ous agitation In the spray tank to prevent separation. To
prevent clogging. use only flood nozzles with no nozzle
screens.
All individual state regulations relating to fluid fertilizer mix­
ing, registration. labeling and application are the responsi­
bility of the individual and/or company selling the
Squadron/liquid fertilIZer mixture.
LIQUID FERTILIZER
COMPATIBILITY DETERMINATIONS
If a liqUid fertilizer and herbicide(s) mixture separates in the
spray tank, clogged equipment and uneven application
can result, which can cause poor weed control and crop
injUry. Always predetemnine the compatibility of Squadron
alone or with PROWL 3.3 EC or Command 4EC in the
specific liquid fertilizer to be used according to the follow­
ing directions:
1 . Add 1 pint of fertilizer to each of 2 one-quart jars.
2. Add 1/2 teaspoon of adjuvant to one jar.
3. (a) When uSing Squadron alone, add to each jar the
correct amount of Squadron as specified in the table
below,
(b) When uSing Squadron plus PROWL 3.3 EC or
Command 4EC, (lrst add the specified quantity of
Squadron, then add the correct amount of PROWL
3.3 EC or Command 4EC.
12
4. Close both Jars and shake thoroughly for 10 seconds.
Let them stand tor 30 minutes and then observe the
results. Look for signs of separation. an oily layer or
globules, sludge, flakes or other preclp:!ates.
5. Detemnlne compatibility:
(a) If the mixture without adjuvant does not separate,
use this mixture in your spray tank.
(b) If the mixture with adjuvant does not separate, but
the one without adjuvant separates, use the adjuvant
mixture in your spray tank. Add the adjuvant to the
liquid fertilIZer as directed on the manufacturer's label.
(c) If either mixture separates, but mixes readily with
shaking:the mixture can be used provlolng good
agitation is maintained in the spray' tank.
(d) If separation of the mixture occurs, and agitation
and/or adjuvant does not correct the problem,
DO NOT use the herbicide(s) in that specific liquid
fertilizer.

APPLICATIONS WITH DRY BULK FERTILIZERS
Squadron may be impregnated on dry bulk fertilizers.
When applied as directed, Squadron/dry bulk fertilizer
mixtures provide weed control equal to that proVided by
the same rates of Squadron applied in water or liquid fer­
tilizer,
Apply Squadron/dry bulk fertilizer mixtures only With
ground equipment
All individual state regulations relating to dry bulk fertilIZer
blending, registration, labeling, and application are the
responsibility of the individual and/or company selling the
Squadron/dry bulk fertilizer mixture.
A minimum of 200 pounds and a maximum of 450 pounds
of dry bulk fertilizer impregnated with the recommended
amount of Squadron must be applied per acre.
DO NOT impregnate Squadron onto coated ammonium
nitrate or limestone because these materials will not
absorb the herbicide. Dry fertilizer blends containing mix­
tures of ammonium nitrate or limestone may be impregnat­
ed with Squadron. A minimum of 200 pounds of impreg­
nated dry bulk fertilizer, excluding the weight of ammonium
nitrate or limestone, must be applied per acre.

To Impregnate Squadron on bulk iertilizer, use a c:ased
rotary*drum mixer or other commonly used dry bUif-: fertiliZ­
er blender equipped with suitable spray equ:pmen:. Speay
nozzles must be placed to provide uniform coverage of
Squadron onto the fertiiizer during miXing.
If PROWL 3.3 EC IS to be combined with the Squadron
prior to impregnation, premix the PROWL 3.3 EC With an
equal volume of water before adding it to the Squadron.
DO NOT mix undiluted PROWL 3.3 EC with Squadron.
Apply the Squadron/dry bulk fertilizer mixture With an
accurately calibrated dry fertilizer spreader. The
Squadron/dry bulk fertilizer mixture must be spread
uniformly on the soil surface. Uneven spreading can cause
poor weed control and crop injury.

cide application. Cotton may be planted 18 months after
the last herbicide application. Refer to rotational crop
restrictions listed In the Classic label. Always follow the
more restrictive label.
Use of Squadron In accordance with label directions IS
expected to result in normal growth at rotational crops in
most situations; however, various environmental and agro­
nomic factors make it Impossible to eliminate all risks
associated with use of this product and, therefore, rota~
tlonal crop Injury is always possible.
Only rotational crops harvested at maturity may be used
for feed or food.
Application of products containing chlorimuron ethyl (e.g ..
Classic, Canopy', Lorox, Pinnacle, Synchrony', etc.),
imazaquin (e.g., SCEPTER'70DG), imazethapyr (e.g ..
PURSUIT') the same year as labeled rates of Squadron
may increase the risk of injury to sensitive rotational crops.
Consult labels for recommended usage of thes-, products
in combinations.
DO NOT graze or feed treated soybean forage, hay or
straw to livestock.
