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).

|
||
Dear Mr. Dixon:
|
||
|
||
The amended label referred to above, submitted in connection with registration under the Federal
|
||
Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act, as amended, is acceptable. This approval does not
|
||
affect any conditions that were previously imposed on this registration. You continue to be
|
||
subject to existing conditions on your registration and any deadlines connected with them.
|
||
|
||
A stamped copy of your labeling is enclosed for your records. This labeling supersedes all
|
||
previously accepted labeling. You must submit one copy of the final printed labeling before you
|
||
release the product for shipment with the new labeling. In accordance with 40 CFR 152.130(c),
|
||
you may distribute or sell this product under the previously approved labeling for 18 months
|
||
from the date of this letter. After 18 months, you may only distribute or sell this product if it
|
||
bears this new revised labeling or subsequently approved labeling. “To distribute or sell” is
|
||
defined under FIFRA section 2(gg) and its implementing regulation at 40 CFR 152.3.
|
||
|
||
Should you wish to add/retain a reference to the company's website on your label, then please be
|
||
aware that the website becomes labeling under the Federal Insecticide Fungicide and Rodenticide
|
||
Act and is subject to review by the Agency. If the website is false or misleading, the product
|
||
would be misbranded and unlawful to sell or distribute under FIFRA section 12(a)(1)(E). 40
|
||
CFR 156.10(a)(5) list examples of statements EPA may consider false or misleading. In
|
||
addition, regardless of whether a website is referenced on your product's label, claims made on
|
||
the website may not substantially differ from those claims approved through the registration
|
||
process. Therefore, should the Agency find or if it is brought to our attention that a website
|
||
contains false or misleading statements or claims substantially differing from the EPA approved
|
||
registration, the website will be referred to the EPA's Office of Enforcement and Compliance.

x DO NOT spray if conditions of thermal inversion exist, or if wind direction and speed
|
||
may cause spray to drift onto adjacent nontarget areas. Drift minimization is the
|
||
responsibility of the applicator. Consult with local and State agricultural authorities
|
||
for information regarding avoiding or minimizing spray drift.
|
||
x The MAXIMUM USE RATES indicated for Touchdown HiTech have been
|
||
determined based upon the concentration of glyphosate acid (expressed as acid
|
||
equivalents) contained in this product. The actual maximum application rates stated
|
||
apply to the total amount of glyphosate acid equivalents applied to a given site in
|
||
any year either from the application of this product alone or in combination with other
|
||
glyphosate-containing products, applied either as mixtures with other products or
|
||
separately. Application rates must be calculated to ensure that the use of this and
|
||
other glyphosate containing products do not exceed the maximum use rate as
|
||
specified below unless otherwise specified in the specific use directions.
|
||
x In agricultural use sites and crop areas, do not exceed a total of 4.8 qt Touchdown
|
||
HiTech/A equivalent to 6 lb glyphosate acid equivalents per acre per year.
|
||
x In nonagricultural use areas, do not exceed a total of 6.3 qt Touchdown HiTech/A
|
||
equivalent to 8 lb glyphosate acid equivalents per acre per year.
|
||

|
||
USE PRECAUTIONS
|
||
x Touchdown HiTech requires actively growing green plant tissue to function.
|
||
Application to drought-stressed weeds or weeds with little green foliage (e.g.,
|
||
mowed, cut, or hailed on weeds); weeds covered with dust; weeds damaged by
|
||
insects or diseases may result in reduced weed control.
|
||
x Touchdown HiTech does not provide soil residual control of weeds. Weeds
|
||
emerging after application will require retreatment.
|
||
x Heavy rainfall or irrigation shortly after application may require retreatment.
|
||
x Tillage or mowing within 3 days following application may reduce weed control.
|
||
x Touchdown HiTech is not volatile and cannot move as a vapor after application onto
|
||
nontarget vegetation.
|
||
x Spray solutions of Touchdown HiTech should be mixed, stored, and applied using
|
||
only plastic, plastic-lined steel, stainless steel, or fiberglass containers. Concentrate
|
||
should not be stored in galvanized steel, carbon steel, aluminum, or unlined steel
|
||
containers.
|
||
x Severe damage or destruction may be caused by contact of Touchdown HiTech to
|
||
any vegetation (including leaves, green stems, exposed non–woody roots, or fruit) of
|
||
crops, trees, and other desirable plants to which treatment is not intended, except as
|
||
specified for glyphosate-tolerant crops.
|
||
RESISTANT WEED MANAGEMENT
|
||
Touchdown HiTech contains glyphosate which inhibits 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-
|
||
phosphate synthase (EPSPS, Site of Action Group 9). Some naturally occurring weed
|
||
populations have been identified as resistant to Group 9 herbicides. Selection of
|
||
resistant biotypes, through repeated use of these herbicides or lower than labeled use
|
||
rates in the same field, may result in weed control failures. A resistant biotype may be
|
||
present where poor performance cannot be attributed to adverse environmental
|
||
conditions or improper application methods. If resistance is suspected, contact your
|
||
local Syngenta representative and/or agricultural advisor for assistance.
|
||
General principles of herbicide resistant weed management:
|
||
x Employ integrated weed management practices. Use multiple herbicide sites-of-
|
||
action with overlapping weed spectrums in rotation, sequences, or mixtures.
|
||
x Use the full labeled herbicide rate and proper application timing for the hardest to
|
||
control weed species present in the field.
|
||
|
||
Touchdown HiTech
|
||
Page 9
|
||
x Scout fields after herbicide application to ensure control has been achieved.
|
||
Avoid allowing weeds to reproduce by seed or to proliferate vegetatively.
|
||
x Monitor site and clean equipment between sites.
|
||
x Start with a clean field and control weeds early by using a burndown treatment or
|
||
tillage in combination with a preemergence residual herbicide as appropriate.
|
||
x Use cultural practices such as cultivation and crop rotation, where appropriate.
|
||
x Use good agronomic principles that enhance crop competitiveness.
|
||
APPLICATION AND MIXING
|
||
TIMING
|
||
Touchdown HiTech should be applied to actively growing emerged weeds. Annual
|
||
weeds of 6 inches or less in height are typically the easiest to control. Generally, more
|
||
effective control of perennial weeds is achieved at the flowering or seedhead stage.
|
||
Refer to the WEEDS CONTROLLED, WOODY BRUSH AND TREES CONTROLLED
|
||
sections for specific application timing.
|
||
When annual weeds have been mowed or grazed, wait for 3-4 inches of new growth to
|
||
appear prior to application. When perennial weeds have been mowed or grazed, allow
|
||
new growth to reach recommended stage prior to application.
|
||
Visible effects on annual weeds occur within 2-4 days after application; effects on
|
||
perennial weeds may take 7 days or longer. Extremely cool or cloudy weather following
|
||
treatment may slow activity.
|
||
RATES
|
||
Follow specified rates for Touchdown HiTech listed in the WEEDS CONTROLLED,
|
||
WOODY BRUSH AND TREES CONTROLLED sections. Use the higher label rates
|
||
when weeds are dense or large. Also, use higher application volumes and pressures
|
||
when weed vegetation is dense.
|
||
SPRAY ADDITIVES
|
||
Surfactants/Wetting Agents – This product does not contain a surfactant. A nonionic
|
||
surfactant (NIS) or wetting agent (approved for intended use) must be added at
|
||
0.25-0.5% v/v (1-2 quarts NIS or wetting agent/100 gallons) of finished spray volume.
|
||
The nonionic surfactant or wetting agent used should contain at least 75% active
|
||
ingredient.
|
||
Ammonium Sulfate (AMS) – Control of annual and perennial weeds with Touchdown
|
||
|
||
Touchdown HiTech
|
||
Page 10
|
||
HiTech may be improved by adding dry ammonium sulfate at 1-2% by weight or 8.5-17
|
||
lb/100 gal of water. In the High Plains where water sources contain Ca, Mg, Mn levels
|
||
exceeding 150 ppm, use a minimum of 8.5 lb AMS per 100 gallons of spray mixture.
|
||
Liquid formulations of AMS may be used at an equivalent rate. Do not reduce use rates
|
||
of Touchdown HiTech when using AMS.
|
||
Drift Control Agents – Drift control agents may be used with Touchdown HiTech.
|
||
When an adjuvant is to be used with this produc t, the use of an adjuvant that meets the
|
||
standards of the Chemical Producers and Distributors Association (CPDA) adjuvant
|
||
certification program is recommended.
|
||
TANK MIXES WITH RESIDUAL HERBICIDES
|
||
Refer to crop sections for tank mixes. Tank mixes of Touchdown HiTech with other
|
||
pesticides, fertilizers, or any other additives except as specified on this label or other
|
||
approved Syngenta supplemental labeling may result in tank mix incompatibility or
|
||
unsatisfactory performance. Use the jar test to determine the compatibility of the
|
||
combination before tank mixing.
|
||
Always refer to labels of other pesticide products for mixing directions, restrictions and
|
||
precautions which may differ from those outlined here. Use in accordance with the
|
||
most restrictive of label limitations, restrictions and precautions. Do not exceed label
|
||
dosage rates. This product cannot be mixed with any product containing a label
|
||
prohibition against such mixing.
|
||
Tank Mixing Directions:
|
||
1. Fill spray tank ½ full with clean water.
|
||
2. Begin tank agitation and continue throughout mixing and spraying.
|
||
3. Add AMS (if used).
|
||
4. Add dry formulations (WP, DF, etc.) to tank.
|
||
5. Add liquid formulations (SC, EC, L, etc.) to tank.
|
||
6. Add Touchdown HiTech.
|
||
7. Add nonionic surfactant or wetting agent.
|
||
8. Fill remainder of spray tank.
|
||
APPLICATION EQUIPMENT AND TECHNIQUES
|
||
x Preventing drift is the responsibility of the applicator. Applications must not be made
|
||
in low-level inversion conditions, when winds are gusty or under any other conditions
|
||
which favor drift. Inversions are characterized by stable air and increasing
|
||
temperatures with height above the ground. The applicator may detect the presence
|
||
of an inversion by producing smoke and observing a smoke layer. Drift may cause
|
||
damage to any vegetation contacted to which treatment is not intended.
|
||
|
||
Touchdown HiTech
|
||
Page 11
|
||
x Compatibility with drift control additives may vary. Use the jar test to determine the
|
||
compatibility of the combination. Read and follow manufacturer’s directions for use.
|
||
A reduction in weed control may occur when drift control agents are used.
|
||
x All equipment must be properly maintained and washed to remove product residues
|
||
after use.
|
||
Broadcast Applications
|
||
Ground
|
||
Make ground applications in 3-40 gal of water per acre.
|
||
When foliage is dense, spray volume should be increased to ensure coverage of the
|
||
target weeds. Flat-fan nozzles will result in the most effective application of Touchdown
|
||
HiTech. Spray boom and nozzle heights must be adjusted to provide coverage of target
|
||
weed. Flood nozzles may result in reduced weed control due to inadequate coverage.
|
||
Air
|
||
Make aerial applications in 3-15 gal of water per acre.
|
||
Spray should be released at the lowest height consistent with effective weed control and
|
||
flight safety. Apply at a height no more than 10 ft above the canopy.
|
||
Use the largest droplet size consistent with good weed control. Formation of very small
|
||
droplets may be minimized by appropriate nozzle selection, by orienting nozzles away
|
||
from the air stream as much as possible, and by using the appropriate spray boom
|
||
pressure. Solid stream or low shear nozzles may be utilized to reduce small droplet
|
||
formation. These nozzles direct the fluid parallel to the existing airflow to reduce shear
|
||
effects. Other techniques may include reducing the fan angle of flat fan nozzles if used,
|
||
or reducing the deflector plate angle if deflector type nozzles are used. Ensure the
|
||
spray is released at an appropriate distance below the airfoil.
|
||
For best results, each specific aerial application vehicle used should be quantifiably
|
||
pattern tested for aerial application of Touchdown HiTech initially and every year
|
||
thereafter. To minimize drift, it is suggested aerial application equipment produce the
|
||
following minimum spray deposition characteristics:
|
||
Volume Median Diameter (VMD) › 400 microns
|
||
Volume Diameter (VD) {0.9} › 200 microns
|
||
For aerial application in California, refer to the Federal Supplemental label for aerial
|
||
application for specific instructions, restrictions, and requirements. For aerial
|
||
application, consult with State or local authorities regarding any additional requirements
|
||
for aerial application. Banvel® tank mixes may not be applied by air in California.
|
||
|
||
Touchdown HiTech
|
||
Page 12
|
||
Prolonged exposure of Touchdown HiTech to uncoated steel surfaces may result in
|
||
corrosion and possible failure of the part. The maintenance of an organic coating
|
||
(paint) which meets aerospace specification MIL-C-38413 may prevent corrosion. To
|
||
prevent corrosion of exposed parts, thoroughly wash aircraft after each day of spraying
|
||
to remove residues of Touchdown HiTech accumulated during spraying or from spills.
|
||
Landing gears are most susceptible.
|
||
Shielded/Hooded Application
|
||
Use shielded/hooded sprayers to control weeds between rows while protecting the crop
|
||
from the herbicide. Keep shields/hoods as close to the ground as possible and avoid
|
||
ground speed in excess of 5 mph. Use appropriate nozzles, spacing, and pressure to
|
||
achieve coverage without allowing spray to touch or drift onto the crop. Maintain
|
||
equipment in good operating condition to prevent leakage or dripping onto the crop.
|
||
Refer to state extension service recommendations and equipment manufacturers’
|
||
guidelines for more information on proper operation of shielded/hooded sprayers.
|
||
Spot Treatments
|
||
For annual weeds less than 6 inches, use a 0.33-0.6% v/v solution. For annual weeds
|
||
over 6 inches, use a 0.6-0.9% v/v solution. Use a 0.6-1.25% v/v solution for most
|
||
perennials (see Table 3 for specific rates and timing). When using motorized spot spray
|
||
equipment (rider bar), use a 1.8% v/v solution. See Spot Spray Dilution Table below for
|
||
rates of Touchdown HiTech/volume of finished spray solution. Spray the solution on
|
||
actively growing weeds until uniformly wet but not to the point of runoff. Retreat 14-21
|
||
days later if regrowth occurs.

||
weeds, volunteer crops, or weeds which were present at harvest. Refer to WEEDS
|
||
CONTROLLED, WOODY BRUSH AND TREES CONTROLLED sections, for use rates.
|
||
Repeat applications may be necessary to control weeds emerging after application.
|
||
Use the higher rate on heavy or sodded infestations.
|
||
Use Restrictions for Fallow Land and Postharvest Use
|
||
x A nonionic surfactant (NIS) or wetting agent (approved for intended use) must be
|
||
added at 0.25% v/v (1 quart NIS or wetting agent/100 gallons) of finished spray
|
||
volume. Control of weeds may also be improved by adding dry ammonium sulfate at
|
||
1-2% by weight or 8.5-17 lb/100 gal of water.
|
||
Use Precautions for Fallow Land and Postharvest Use
|
||
x Allow sufficient time for weed regrowth to occur after harvest before making
|
||
applications.
|
||
x Avoid application after plants have been exposed to a severe frost.
|
||
x Refer to the individual labels of all products used in a tank mix for precautionary
|
||
statements, recropping intervals, restrictions, and a list of weeds controlled.
|
||
x Touchdown HiTech will not control volunteer glyphosate-tolerant crops.
|
||
x There are no rotational crop restrictions following application of this product.
|
||
GRASS SEED PRODUCTION
|
||
Method of Application: Before, during, or after planting, but before crop emergence;
|
||
renovation; site preparation; shielded/hooded sprayers; wiper/wick applicators; spot
|
||
treatments; creating rows in annual ryegrass.
|
||
Apply to turf or forage grass areas grown for seed production. Applications MUST be
|
||
made prior to the emergence of the crop to avoid crop injury. For maximum control of
|
||
existing vegetation, delay planting to determine if any regrowth from escaped
|
||
underground plant parts occurs. Where repeat treatments are necessary, sufficient
|
||
regrowth must be attained prior to application. For warm-season grasses, such as
|
||
bermudagrass, summer or fall applications provide best control.
|
||
Follow directions listed in the APPLICATION AND MIXING DIRECTIONS, SPRAY
|
||
ADDITIVES, and APPLICATION EQUIPMENT AND TECHNIQUES sections. Refer to
|
||
the WEEDS CONTROLLED section for rates and timing.

Use Restrictions for Grass Seed Production
|
||
x A nonionic surfactant (NIS) or wetting agent (approved for intended use) must be
|
||
added at 0.25% v/v (1 quart NIS or wetting agent/100 gallons) of finished spray
|
||
volume. Control of weeds may also be improved by adding dry ammonium sulfate at
|
||
1-2% by weight or 8.5-17 lb/100 gal of water.
|
||
x Do not disturb soil or underground plant parts before treatment.
|
||
x Do not feed or graze treated areas for 8 weeks following application.
|
||
x For spot treatments, apply prior to heading of grasses.
|
||
Use Precautions for Grass Seed Production
|
||
x Tillage or renovation techniques such as vertical mowing, coring, or slicing should be
|
||
delayed for 7 days after application to allow proper translocation into underground
|
||
plant parts.
|
||
x Vegetation contacted by Touchdown HiTech will be injured or killed.
|
||
Shielded/Hooded Sprayers
|
||
Use Instructions: Apply 0.6-1.8 qt of Touchdown HiTech in 10-20 gal of water per acre
|
||
to control weeds in the rows. Uniform planting in straight rows aids in shielded/hooded
|
||
applications. Best results are obtained when the grass seed crop is small enough to
|
||
easily pass by or through the protective shields/hoods.
|
||
Wiper/Wick Applicators
|
||
Applicators should be adjusted so that the wiper contact point is at least 2 inches above
|
||
the desirable vegetation. Weeds should be a minimum of 6 inches above the desirable
|
||
vegetation. Better results may be obtained when more of the weed is exposed to the
|
||
herbicide solution. Weeds not contacted by the herbicide solution will not be affected.
|
||
This may occur in dense clumps, severe infestations, or when height of weeds varies so
|
||
that not all weeds are contacted. In these instances, repeat treatments may be
|
||
necessary. Better results may be obtained if two applications are made in opposite
|
||
directions.
|
||

Page 50
|
||
Touchdown HiTech at 20 fl oz/A within 30 days after planting on weeds up to 6 inches
|
||
tall. Refer to Table 1 for specific rate information. Touchdown HiTech will not provide
|
||
residual control. To control new weed flushes, repeat applications may be required.
|
||
Perennial Weeds
|
||
Apply Touchdown HiTech at 20-40 fl oz/A to actively growing perennial grasses,
|
||
sedges, and broadleaf weeds. Applications in crop on glyphosate-tolerant soybeans
|
||
normally occur before perennial weeds reach the most desirable growth stage for
|
||
control. Treatments made prior to the timing designated in Table 3 may require
|
||
retreatment. Best control will be obtained when perennial broadleaf weeds are treated
|
||
in the early bud to flowering stage and when perennial grasses are in the boot to
|
||
seedhead stage. Refer to Table 3 for additional rate and timing information.

to 40 gallons of spray solution per acre, may be used to suppress growth of some
|
||
annual grasses (such as annual ryegrass, wild barley, and wild oats) growing in coarse
|
||
turf on roadsides or other industrial areas. Make applications when annual grasses are
|
||
actively growing and before seedheads are in the boot stage. Treatments after
|
||
seedhead emergence may cause injury to desired grasses.

|
||
Renovation; Seed or Sod Production
|
||
Touchdown HiTech controls most existing vegetation prior to renovating turfgrass areas
|
||
or establishing turfgrass grown for seed or sod. For maximum control of existing
|
||
vegetation, delay planting or sodding to determine if any regrowth from escaped
|
||
underground plant parts occurs. Where repeat treatments are necessary, sufficient
|
||
regrowth must be attained prior to application. For warm season grasses such as
|
||
bermudagrass, summer or fall applications provide the best control where existing
|
||
vegetation is growing under mowed turfgrass management. Apply Touchdown HiTech
|
||
after omitting at least one regular mowing to allow sufficient growth for good interception
|
||
of the spray.
|
||
Use Restrictions for Turfgrass Uses
|
||
x A nonionic surfactant (NIS) or wetting agent (approved for intended use) must be
|
||
added at 0.25% v/v (1 qt NIS or wetting agent/100 gallons) of finished spray volume.
|
||
x Do not feed or graze turfgrass grown for seed or sod production for 8 weeks
|
||
following application.
|
||
x Do not disturb soil or underground plant parts before treatment. Tillage or
|
||
renovation techniques such as vertical mowing, coring, or slicing should be delayed
|
||
for 7 days after application to allow translocation into underground plant parts.
|
||
x Oust XP tank mixes must not be used in highly maintained turfgrass.
|
||
x Do not feed or graze turfgrass grown for seed or sod production for 8 weeks
|
||
following application.
|
||
Use Precautions for Turfgrass Uses
|
||
x Desirable turfgrasses may be planted following the above procedures. Hand-held
|
||
equipment may be used for spot treatment of unwanted vegetation growing in
|
||
existing turfgrass. Broadcast or hand-held equipment may be used to control sod
|
||
remnants or other unwanted vegetation after sod is harvested.
|
||
x Application of rates greater than 10 fl oz/A of Touchdown HiTech may result in injury
|
||
or delayed green-up in highly maintained areas, such as golf courses and lawns.
|
||
x Use only in areas where some temporary injury or discoloration of perennial grasses
|
||
can be tolerated.

WEEDS CONTROLLED, WOODY BRUSH AND TREES CONTROLLED
|
||
Use water volumes of 3-40 gallons per acre by ground equipment and 3-15 gallons by
|
||
air. Use the minimum spray volume that provides adequate coverage.
|
||
When tank mixing with residual herbicides, refer to the individual crop section for
|
||
directions.
|
||
Apply to actively growing weeds.
