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).

|
||
PRODUCT INFORMATION
|
||
|
||
Mertect 340-F is a systemic fungicide which aids in the control of many important plant
|
||
diseases. If treatment is not effective following use of Mertect 340-F as recommended,
|
||
a tolerant strain of fungus may be present. Consideration should be given to prompt
|
||
use of other suitable non-benzimidazole fungicides. Mertect 340-F is not for use in
|
||
formulating agricultural products.
|
||
|
||
RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT
|
||
|
||
THIABENDAZOLE GROUP 1 FUNGICIDE
|
||
|
||
For resistance management, Mertect 340-F contains Thiabendazole, a Group 1
|
||
fungicide. Any fungal population may contain individuals naturally resistant to Mertect
|
||
340-F and other Group 1 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. Thiabendazole belongs to the
|
||
methyl-benzimidazole carbamate class of chemistry which disrupts ß-tubuline assembly
|
||
in mitosis.
|
||
|
||
To delay fungicide resistance, take one or more of the following steps:
|
||
|
||
• Rotate the use of Mertect 340-F or other Group 1 fungicides 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 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 Syngenta Crop
|
||
Protection at 1-866-796-4368. You can also contact your university extension
|
||
specialist to report resistance.

CROP USE DIRECTIONS
|
||
|
||
GENERAL - SHAKE OR STIR WELL BEFORE USE.
|
||
|
||
Clean equipment before using Mertect 340-F. When Mertect 340-F is dispersed in
|
||
water, the resulting suspension must be constantly agitated. Avoid foaming.
|
||
|
||
Use the higher specified rates under conditions of heavier disease pressure.
|
||
|
||
Compatibility information for Mertect 340-F with other chemicals is limited. Consult your
|
||
supplier or agricultural experiment station for specific recommendations.
|
||
|
||
Carrots - Botrytis cinerea Gray Mold and Sclerotinia sclerotiorum (Sclerotinia
|
||
Rot): Dip carrots, before storage, for 5-10 seconds in a suspension containing 41 fl oz
|
||
of Mertect 340-F per 100 gal of water. Replenish the suspension when the volume is
|
||
too low or when it becomes dirty.
|
||
|
||
The runoff and wastes from the dipping operation should not be discarded in a drainage
|
||
which could contaminate public water systems.
|
||
|
||
Citrus Crop Group 10-10 (One Application Only) - Blue mold (Penicillium
|
||
digitatum), Green mold (Penicillium italicum), and stem end rot (Diplodia
|
||
natalensis): Dip, flood, or spray harvested fruit with a suspension of Mertect 340-F in
|
||
water, wax/oil emulsion, or aqueous dilution of a wax/oil emulsion. Rate will vary
|
||
according to application method; please refer to the following for specific rates for citrus
|
||
blue mold control.
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
Use 26 fl oz of Mertect 340-F in 100 gal of water to provide 1,000 ppm
|
||
Thiabendazole. Citrus must be drenched for three (3) minutes. Use one (1) gal of
|
||
liquid per 1,500-2,000 lb citrus or 100 gal of liquid for about 30 bins. Avoid
|
||
excessive foaming, use antifoam if needed.
|
||
|
||
Citrus Sprays
|
||
|
||
Use 52-91 fl oz Mertect 340-F in 100 gal of water, wax/oil emulsions, or an
|
||
aqueous dilution of wax/oil emulsion to provide 2,000-3,500 ppm of Thiabendazole.
|
||
Keep the mixture under constant agitation. Apply at a rate of one gal per 8,000 -
|
||
10,000 lb citrus fruit.
|
||
|
||
For sporulation control, apply 130 fl oz of Mertect 340-F in 100 gal of water, wax/oil
|
||
emulsion, or aqueous dilution of a wax/oil emulsion to provide 5,000 ppm. Apply at
|
||

Casing Applications: Apply no more than 8 fl oz Mertect 340-F per 1000 sq ft. Mertect
|
||
340-F may be applied at casing as a drench during normal watering operations.
|
||
|
||
Other Timings: Apply no more than 4 fl oz Mertect 340-F per 1000 sq ft.
|
||
|
||
Do not apply within 12 hours prior to harvest.
|
||
|
||
Ornamental Bulbs and Corms (One Application Only) - Fusarium Basal Rot and
|
||
Penicillium Blue Mold: Clean and treat bulbs or corm within 24-48 hours of digging.
|
||
Prepare suspension of 30 fl oz of Mertect 340-F per 100 gal water. Submerge stock
|
||
completely in dipping suspension. Suspension temperature should be 55-75°F (13-
|
||
24°C). Discard suspension (1) when it becomes dirty, (2) after using five times, or (3)
|
||
after 24 hours, whichever occurs first.
|
||
|
||
Fusarium (Bulbs and Corms): Dip bulbs 15-30 minutes, corms 15 minutes.
|
||
|
||
Blue Mold (Bulbs): Dip 10-15 minutes.
|
||
|
||
After treatment, dry bulbs or corms in a shaded, well-ventilated area. Curing or
|
||
retarding may precede or follow treatment.
|
||
|
||
Potato - Fusarium Tuber Rot: Mist unwashed tubers on a conveyor line, with tumbling
|
||
action, entering storage with 0.42 fl oz of Mertect 340-F to each 2,000 lb of tubers in
|
||
sufficient water for complete coverage. If an additional treatment is necessary before
|
||
shipping, mist the tubers at the same rate or dip the tubers for 20 seconds in a solution
|
||
containing 0.42 fl oz of Mertect 340-F per gal of water. Do not treat seed potatoes after
|
||
cutting.
|
||
|
||
Mertect 340-F for potatoes should be used as part of an Integrated Management
|
||
Program, which includes prevention of bruising during harvest and maintaining proper
|
||
|
||
Mertect 340-F
|
||
Page 10
|
||
storage temperature and relative humidity. Neither cultural practices nor chemical
|
||
measures will prevent Fusarium infection if potatoes are damaged or improperly stored.
|
||
|
||
Pome Fruit Crop Group 11-10 (Apples and Pears) - Blue Mold Rot, Bull’s Eye Rot,
|
||
and Gray Mold (Nest Rot, Cluster Rot), Stem End and Neck Rot: Dip, flood, or
|
||
spray harvested fruit with a suspension of 16 fl oz of Mertect 340-F in 100 gal of water.
|
||
Do not treat for over 3 minutes. Treat apples only before and after storage for
|
||
maximum decay control. Treat pears only once.
|
||
|
||
Sweet Potato Post Harvest Treatment – Black Rot: Mist washed roots, on a
|
||
conveyor line with tumbling action, with 0.42 fl oz of Mertect 340-F in minimum of 0.5
|
||
gallons water per 2,000 lb of roots before packing. Ensure roots are dry before packing.
|
||
|
||
Mertect 340-F should be used as part of an Integrated Management Program that
|
||
includes prevention of wounding during harvest, and maintaining proper sanitation,
|
||
temperature, and humidity in storage.
|
||
|
||
|
||
Sweet Potato (One Application Only) “Seed Roots” - Black Rot, Scurf, and Foot
|
||
Rot: Dip the seed roots in a suspension containing 8 fl oz of Mertect 340-F per 7.5 gal
|
||
of water (107 fl oz per 100 gal). Treat the seed roots for 1-2 minutes and plant
|
||
immediately. Discard the suspension when the volume is too low or when it becomes
|
||
dirty. Do not use the treated roots for food or feed.
|
||
|
||
SEED TREATMENT
|
||
|
||
Treatment of highly mechanically scarred or damaged seed, or seed known to be of low
|
||
vigor and poor quality, except for the purpose of curative control of existing disease
|
||
pests, may result in reduced germination and/or reduction of seed and seedling vigor.
|
||
Treat using equipment similar to that planned for treating the total seed lot. Conduct
|
||
germination tests on a small portion of seed before committing the total seed lot to a
|
||
selected seed treatment. Due to seed quality and seed storage conditions beyond the
|
||
control of Syngenta, no claims are made to guarantee the germination of carry-over
|
||
seed or propagating material for all crop seed.
|
||
|
||
Seed treatment with Mertect 340-F provides protection from seed and soil-borne pests
|
||
listed under target diseases, thereby reducing the likelihood of encountering early-
|
||
season plant infection, or late-season disease symptoms resulting from early-season
|
||
infection.
|
||
|
||
For protection against other seed and soil-borne diseases not controlled by Mertect
|
||
340-F, it is highly recommended that a compatible seed treatment fungicide be used at
|
||
EPA registered label rates and tank mixed in combination with Mertect 340-F. These
|
||
fungicides must show safety on treated seed, alone or in combination with Mertect 340-
|
||
F. Consult the label for appropriate use rates and follow all use instructions.
|
||
|
||
Mertect 340-F
|
||
Page 11
|
||
MIXING PROCEDURES
|
||
|
||
Apply Mertect 340-F as a water-based slurry utilizing standard slurry seed treatment
|
||
equipment which provides uniform seed coverage. Uneven or incomplete seed
|
||
coverage may not give the desired level of disease control. Thoroughly mix the
|
||
recommended amount of Mertect 340-F into the required amount of water for the slurry
|
||
treater and dilution rate to be used. Follow the manufacturer application instructions for
|
||
the seed treatment equipment being used. Maintain constant agitation of the slurry
|
||
during the treatment.
|
||
|
||
• Use an EPA-approved dye or colorant that imparts an unnatural color to the seed as
|
||
required in 40 CFR 153.155 (c).
|
||
• Allow seed to dry before bagging.
|
||
|
||
Tank Mixtures
|
||
|
||
Confirm physical compatibility, seed safety, seed safety in stored seed, and biological
|
||
efficacy before tank mixing with other seed treatment products. Follow the label
|
||
directions for the most restrictive of label precautions and limitations. This product
|
||
cannot be mixed with any product containing a label prohibiting such mixing.
|
||
|
||
SEED CONTAINER LABEL REQUIREMENTS
|
||
|
||
The Federal Seed Act requires that containers oftreated seed must be labeled with the
|
||
following information:
|
||
|
||
• This seed has been treated with Thiabendazole fungicide.
|
||
• Do not use for feed, food, or oil purposes.
|
||
|
||
In addition, the following statements are required on containers of seeds treated with
|
||
Mertect 340-F:
|
||
|
||
• Store treated seed away from food and feedstuffs.
|
||
• Do not allow children, pets or livestock to have access to treated seeds.
|
||
• Wear long pants, long-sleeved shirt and protective gloves when handling treated
|
||
seed.
|
||
• Treated seeds exposed on soil surface may be hazardous to wildlife. Cover or
|
||
collect treated seeds spilled during loading and planting.
|
||
• Dispose of all excess treated seed by burying seed away from bodies of water.
|
||
• Do not contaminate bodies of water when disposing of planting equipment wash
|
||
water.
|
||
• This seed has been treated with X lb thiabendazole per 100 lb of seed.
|
||
• Regardless of type of application, do not apply more than 0.15 lb Thiabendazole
|
||
per acre (68.0 grams ai/A) per year
|
||
• Dispose of seed packaging or containers in accordance with local requirements.
|
||
