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).

||
GL YPHOSATE-RESIST ANT WEED MANAGEMENT
|
||
Some naturally occurring weed biotypes resistant to glyphosate may exist through
|
||
normal genetic variability in any weed population. The repeated use of herbicides with
|
||
the same mode of action is known to lead under certain conditions to a selection of
|
||
resistant weeds. Certain agronomic practices reduce the likelihood that resistant weed
|
||
populations will develop and integrated strategies are known to manage such problem
|
||
weeds.
|
||
Glyphosate is the active ingredient in the herbicide Touchdown CT. The primary mode
|
||
of action of glyphosate involves inactivation of the target enzyme 5-
|
||
enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase (EPSPS). This enzyme is involved in the
|
||
synthesis of several essential amino acids that are the building blocks for proteins
|
||
needed for plant growth and development. In susceptible weeds, glyphosate binds
|
||
tightly to EPSPS rendering the enzyme inactive. With the inactivation of EPSPS, the
|
||
plant is unable to produce certain essential amino acids resulting in plant death. Initial
|
||
studies on the mechanistic basis of resistance to glyphosate in various weed species
|
||
have to date revealed EPSPS target site resistance and involvement of differences in
|
||
translocation as important. Other mechanisms by which plants can become resistant to
|
||
herbicides include differences in uptake, metabolism and sequestration. Within the
|
||
USA specific biotypes of a number of species, including, horseweed/marestail (Conyza
|
||
|
||
( (
|
||
10
|
||
canadensis), hairy fleabane (Conyza bonariensis) , rigid ryegrass, (Lolium rigidum),
|
||
Palmer amaranth (Amaranthus palmen), common waterhemp (Amaranthus rudis),
|
||
common ragweed (Ambrosia artemisiifolia) , giant ragweed (Ambrosia trifida) and
|
||
johnsongrass (Sorghum halepense) , have become resistant to glyphosate. The first
|
||
incident reported to the Herbicide Resistance Action Committee (HRAC) of glyphosate
|
||
resistance was in 1998 on rigid ryegrass.
|
||
Following is a list of Best Weed Management practices to be considered in glyphosate
|
||
based programs.
|
||
Diversify glyphosate-dependent weed control programs with alternative herbicides or
|
||
cultural practices.
|
||
• Use full label rates of glyphosate and tank mix partners. Minimize weed escapes.
|
||
• Monitor treated weed populations for any loss of field efficacy.
|
||
• Contact your local extension specialist, certified crop advisor, and/or manufacturer
|
||
for herbicide resistance management and/or integrated weed management
|
||
recommendations for specific crops and resistant weed biotypes.
|
||
Since the occurrence of resistant weeds is difficult to detect prior to use, Syngenta Crop
|
||
Protection accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of
|
||
Touchdown CT to control resistant weeds.
|
||
APPLICATION AND MIXING DIRECTIONS - AGRICULTURAL USE SITES AND
|
||
CROPS
|
||
TIMING
|
||
Touchdown CT 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 seed head stage. Refer to the
|
||
WEEDS CONTROLLED sections for specific application timing.
|
||
When annual weeds have been mowed or grazed, wait for 3 to 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 to 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 CT listed in the WEEDS CONTROLLED,
|
||
WOODY BRUSH AND TREES CONTROLLED sections. Use the higher label rates
|
||
|
||
11
|
||
(
|
||
(
|
||
when weeds are dense or large. Also, use higher application volumes and pressures
|
||
when weed vegetation is dense.
|
||
SPRAY ADDITIVES
|
||
Ammonium Sulfate (AMS) - Control of annual and perennial weeds with Touchdown
|
||
CT may be improved by adding dry ammonium sulfate at 1-2% by weight or 8.5-17
|
||
Ib/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 Ib 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 CT when using ammonium sulfate.
|
||
Drift Control Agents - Drift control agents may be used with Touchdown CT.
|
||
When an adjuvant is to be used with this product, the use of an adjuvant that meets the
|
||
requirements of the Chemical Producers and Distributors Association (CDPA) adjuvant
|
||
certification program is recommended.
|
||
TANK MIXES WITH RESIDUAL HERBICIDES
|
||
Refer to crop sections for recommended tank mixes. Tank mixes of Touchdown CT
|
||
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. It is recommended that the compatibility of any tank mix
|
||
combination be tested on a small scale such as a jar test before actual tank mixing.
|
||
Always refer to labels of other pesticide products for mixing directions and precautions
|
||
which may differ from those outlined here. Use in accordance with the most restrictive
|
||
of label limitations and precautions. No label dosage rates should be exceeded. This
|
||
product cannot be mixed with any product containing a label prohibition against such
|
||
mixing.
|
||
Tank Mixing Recommendations:
|
||
1. Fill spray tank % 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 CT.
|
||
7. Add nonionic surfactant/wetting agent (if used).
|
||
8. Fill remainder of spray tank.
|
||
APPLICATION EQUIPMENT AND TECHNIQUES
|
||
• Avoid drift. Applications should not be made in low level inversion conditions, when
|
||
|
||
12
|
||
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.
|
||
• Drift control additives may be used with Touchdown CT. Compatibility with drift
|
||
control additives may vary. It is recommended that the combination be tested on a
|
||
small scale such as a jar test. Read and follow the manufacturer's directions for use.
|
||
A reduction in weed control may occur when drift control agents are used.
|
||
• All equipment must be properly maintained and washed to remove product residues
|
||
after use.
|
||
Broadcast Applications
|
||
Ground - Applications should be made in 3 to 40 gallons 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
|
||
CT. 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.
|
||
Do not make direct applications to any body of water.
|
||
Air - Applications should be made in 3 to 15 gallons of water per acre.
|
||
Spray should be released at the lowest height consistent with effective weed control and
|
||
flight safety. Applications more than 10 feet above the canopy should be avoided.
|
||
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 avoiding inappropriate 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 CT herbicide 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
|
||
|
||
( (
|
||
13
|
||
Volume Diameter (VD) {0.9} > 200 microns
|
||
Prolonged exposure of Touchdown CT 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 CT accumulated during spraying or from spills.
|
||
Landing gear are most susceptible.
|
||
Do not make direct applications to any body of water.
|
||
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 ofshielded/hooded sprayers.
|
||
Spot Treatments
|
||
For annual weeds less than 6 inches, use a 0.4 to 0.75% vlv solution. For annual
|
||
weeds over 6 inches, use a 0.75 to 1.5% v/v solution. Use a 1 to 2% vlv solution for
|
||
most perennials (see Table 3 for specific rates and timing). When using motorized spot
|
||
spray equipment (rider bar), use a 3% v/v solution. See Spot Spray Dilution Table
|
||
below for rates of Touchdown CT/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.

WIPER APPLICATION
|
||
Touchdown CT may be applied using a wiper or "wick" applicator (e.g. rope, sponge, or
|
||
porous plastic applicators) for selective control or suppression of annual and perennial
|
||
weeds which become taller than the crop or desirable vegetation. Mix 3 qt of
|
||
Touchdown CT in 2 gallons of water unless directed otherwise in this label (See Use
|
||
Precautions for Berries, Fruits, Nuts, and Vines). Precautions should be taken to
|
||
avoid contact with crops or desirable vegetation. Equipment should be operated at
|
||
speeds of 5 mph or less. Use slower speeds where weeds are dense. For improved
|
||
control, make two applications in opposite directions.
|
||
Injection Systems
|
||
Touchdown CT may be used in aerial or ground injection spray systems. It may be
|
||
used as a liquid concentrate or diluted prior to injecting into the spray stream. Do not
|
||
mix Touchdown CT with the undiluted concentrate of other products when using
|
||
injection systems unless specifically recommended.
|
||
CDA Equipment
|
||
For control of annual weeds with hand-held equipment, apply a 20% solution of
|
||
Touchdown CT at a flow rate of 2 fluid ounces per minute and a walking speed of 1.5
|
||
mph (1 quart per acre). For perennial weeds, use a 20 to 30% solution of Touchdown
|
||
CT at a flow rate of 2 ounces per minute and a walking speed of 0.75 mph (2 to 3 quarts
|
||
per acre). For vehicle-mounted equipment, apply in 3 to 15 gallons of water per acre.
|
||
Refer to the WEEDS CONTROllED, WOODY BRUSH AND TREES CONTROllED
|
||
sections for application rates and timing.
|
||
Precautions should be taken to avoid contact with crops or desirable vegetation.

||
Use the higher rate on heavy or sodded infestations.
|
||
Use Precautions and Restrictions for Fallowland and Postharvest Use
|
||
• Allow sufficient time for weed regrowth to occur after harvest before making
|
||
applications.
|
||
• Avoid application after plants have been exposed to a severe frost.

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, sllch 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 Precautions and Restrictions for Grass Seed Production
|
||
• 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 proper translocation into underground plant
|
||
parts.
|
||
• Do not feed or graze treated areas for 8 weeks following application.
|
||
• Vegetation contacted by Touchdown CT will be injured or killed.
|
||
• For spot treatments, apply prior to heading of grasses.
|
||
Shielded/Hooded Sprayers
|
||
Use Instructions: Apply 1 to 3 quarts of Touchdown CT in 10 to 20 gallons of water per
|
||
acre to control weeds in the rows. Uniform planting in straight rows aid 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.

WiperlWick 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 2 applications are made in opposite

Preharvest
|
||
Touchdown CT may be applied over-the-top of dry beans, peas, lentils and chickpeas to
|
||
control weeds before harvest. Apply no more than 24 fl oz/A in dry beans or no more
|
||
than 69 fI oz/A in peas, lentils, and chickpeas in 3-20 gallons of water per acre at the
|
||
hard dough stage of the legume seed (30% or less grain moisture). Only one
|
||
application per year may be made.
|
||
Spot Treatment
|
||
Touchdown CT may be applied as a spot treatment to control troublesome weeds in dry
|
||
beans at no more than 24 fl oz/A, and in peas, lentils, and chickpeas at no more than 69
|
||
fl oz/A. Apply in 10-20 gallons of water using a ground sprayer or use a 2% solution in
|
||
a hand-held sprayer. For best results, make applications at or beyond the bud stage of
|
||
growth. Only one application per year may be made.
|
||
NONAGRICULTURAL USE AREAS
|
||
Touchdown CT may be used for control of a broad spectrum of emerged annual and
|
||
perennial grass and broad leaf weeds and unwanted woody brush and trees in
|
||
NONAGRICULTURAL USE AREAS. Nonagricultural use areas include airports;
|
||
apartment complexes; Christmas tree farms; fencerows; forests; golf courses, habitat

|
||
Do not apply this product by direct application (ground or air) to any body of water.
|
||
Cultural Considerations: Application to annual or perennial weeds that have been
|
||
mowed, grazed, or cut, and have not been allowed to regrow to the recommended
|
||
stage for treatment may result in reduced control. Weeds covered with dust or weeds
|
||
damaged by insects or disease may result in reduced weed control.
|
||
Rainfastness: Heavy rainfall or irrigation shortly after application may require
|
||
retreatment.
|
||
No Soil Activity: Touchdown CT does not provide soil residual control of weeds. Only
|
||
emerged weeds at the time of application will be controlled. Weeds germinating from
|
||
seed after application will not be controlled. Unemerged plants arising from unattached
|
||
underground rhizomes or root stocks of perennials will not be affected.
|
||
RATES
|
||
Follow specified rates for Touchdown CT listed in the WEEDS CONTROLLED,
|
||
WOODY BRUSH AND TREES CONTROLLED section. Use the higher label rates
|
||
when weeds are dense or large. Also, use higher application volumes and pressures
|
||
when weed vegetation is dense.
|
||
TANK MIXES WITH RESIDUAL HERBICIDES
|
||
Refer to crop sections for tank mixes. Tank mixes of Touchdown CT 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. It is recommended that the compatibility of any tank mix
|
||
combination be tested on a small scale such as a jar test before actual tank mixing.
|
||
Always refer to labels of other pesticide products for mixing directions and precautions
|
||
which may differ from those outlined here. Use in accordance with the most restrictive
|
||
of label limitations and precautions. No label dosage rates should be exceeded. This
|
||
product cannot be mixed with any product containing a label prohibition against such
|
||
mixing.

APPLICATION PROCEDURES - NONAGRICULTURAL USE AREAS
|
||
APPLICATION EQUIPMENT AND TECHNIQUES
|
||
• Do not make direct applications to any body of water.
|
||
• Avoid drift. Applications should 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.
|
||
• Compatibility with drift control additives may vary. It is recommended that the
|
||
combination be tested on a small scale such as a jar test. Read and follow
|
||
manufacturer's directions for use. A reduction in weed control may occur when drift
|
||
control agents are used.
|
||
• All equipment must be properly maintained and washed to remove product residues
|
||
after use.
|
||
BROADCAST APPLICATIONS
|
||
Ground
|
||
Applications should be made in 3 to 40 gallons 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
|
||
CT. 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.
|
||
Do not make direct applications to any body of water.
|
||
|
||
(
|
||
44
|
||
Air
|
||
Applications should be made in 3 to 15 gallons of water per acre.
|
||
Spray should be released at the lowest height consistent with effective weed control and
|
||
flight safety. Applications more than 10ft above the canopy should be avoided.
|
||
Do not make direct applications to any body of water.
|
||
Do not make applications by air to forestry sites or utility rights-of-way.
|
||
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 avoiding inappropriate 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 alan appropriate distance below the airfoil.
|
||
For best results, each specific aerial application vehicle used should be quantifiably
|
||
pattern tested for aerial application of Touchdown CT 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)
|
||
Volume Diameter (VD) {O.g}
|
||
) 400 microns
|
||
) 200 microns
|
||
Prolonged exposure of Touchdown CT 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 CT accumulated during spraying or from spills.
|
||
Landing gear are most susceptible.
|
||
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 treatments. Banvel tank mixtures may not be applied by air in California.
|
||
Do not make direct applications to any body of water.
|
||
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
|
||
|
||
(
|
||
45
|
||
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 0.4 to 0.7% v/v solution. For annual weeds
|
||
over 6 inches, use a 0.7 to 1.1 % v/v solution. Use a 0.7 to 1.5% v/v solution for most
|
||
perennials (see Table 3 for specific rates and timing). When using motorized spot spray
|
||
equipment (rider bar), use a 2.2% v/v solution. See Spot Spray Dilution Table below for
|
||
rates of Touchdown CT/volume of finished spray solution. Spray the solution on
|
||
actively growing weeds until uniformly wet but not to the point of runoff. Retreat 14 to
|
||
21 days later if regrowth occurs.

|
||
solution.
|
||
WIPER APPLICATION
|
||
Touchdown CT may be applied using a wiper or "wick" applicator (e.g. rope, sponge, or
|
||
porous plastic applicators) for selective control or suppression of annual and perennial
|
||
weeds which become taller than the crop or desirable vegetation. Mix 3 qt of
|
||
Touchdown CT in 2 gallons of water unless directed otherwise in this label (See Use
|
||
Precautions and Restrictions for Berries, Fruits, Nuts, and Vines). Precautions
|
||
should be taken to avoid contact with crops or desirable vegetation. Equipment should
|
||
be operated at speeds of 5 mph or less. Use slower speeds where weeds are dense.
|
||
For improved control, make two applications in opposite directions.
|
||
|
||
46
|
||
Hand-Held and High-Volume Equipment
|
||
For applications made on a spray-to-wet basis, spray coverage should be uniform and
|
||
complete. Do not spray to the point of runoff. Use coarse sprays only.
|
||
For control of weeds listed in Table 1 (Annual Weeds Controlled), apply a 0.5%
|
||
solution of Touchdown CT to weeds less than 6 inches in height or runner length. For
|
||
annual weeds over 6 inches tall, or unless otherwise specified, use a 1 % solution.
|
||
Apply prior to seed head formation in grass or bud formation in broad leaf weeds.
|
||
For harder-to-control perennials, such as bermudagrass, Canada thistle, dock, field
|
||
bindweed, hemp dogbane, and milkweed, use a 2% solution.
|
||
For low volume directed spray applications, use a 5 t010% solution of Touchdown CT
|
||
for control or partial control of annual weeds, perennial weeds, or woody brush and
|
||
trees. Spray coverage should be uniform with at least 50 percent of the foliage
|
||
contacted. When spraying large woody brush and trees with dense and thick foliage or
|
||
multiple sprouts, spray both sides to ensure adequate coverage.
|
||
Injection Systems
|
||
Touchdown CT may be used in aerial or ground injection spray systems. It may be
|
||
. used as a liquid concentrate or diluted prior to injecting into the spray stream. Do not
|
||
mix Touchdown CT with the undiluted concentrate of other products when using
|
||
injection systems unless specifically recommended.
|
||
CDA EQUIPMENT
|
||
For control of annual weeds with hand held equipment, apply a 20% solution of
|
||
Touchdown CT at a flow rate of 2 fl oz per minute and a walking speed of 1.5 mph (1
|
||
qtlA). For perennial weeds, use a 20 to 30% solution of Touchdown CT at a flow rate of
|
||
2 oz per minute and a walking speed of 0.75 mph (2 to 3 qtlA). For vehicle mounted
|
||
equipment, apply in 3 to 15 gallons of water per acre. Refer to the WEEDS
|
||
CONTROLLED, WOODY BRUSH AND TREES CONTROLLED sections for application
|
||
rates and timing.
|
||
Precautions should be taken to avoid contact with crops or desirable vegetation.
|
||
LOW VOLUME EQUIPMENT
|
||
For low volume directed spray applications, use a 5 t010% solution of Touchdown CT
|
||
for control or partial control of annual weeds, perennial weeds, or woody brush and
|
||
trees. Spray coverage should be uniform with at least 50 percent of the foliage
|
||
contacted. When spraying large woody brush and trees with dense and thick foliage or
|
||
multiple sprouts, spray both Sides to ensure adequate coverage.

Selective Equipment
|
||
AVOID CONTACT OF HERBICIDE WITH DESIRABLE VEGETATION.
|
||
Touchdown CT may be applied through recirculating spray systems, shielded
|
||
applicators, hooded sprayers, wiper applicators, or sponge bars to listed weeds growing
|
||
in any noncrop site specified on this label. A recirculating spray system directs the
|
||
spray solution onto weeds growing above desirable vegetation. Spray solution not
|
||
intercepted by weeds is collected and returned to the spray tank for reuse. Shielded or
|
||
hooded sprayers direct the herbicide solution onto weeds, while shielding desirable
|
||
vegetation from the herbicide.
|
||
Adjust selective applicators so that the lowest spray stream or wiper contact point is at
|
||
least 2 inches above the desirable vegetation. Droplets, mist, foam, or splatter of the
|
||
herbicide solution settling on desirable vegetation is likely to result in discoloration,
|
||
stunting, or destruction.
|
||
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. In dense
|
||
clumps, severe infestations, or when the height of the weeds varies so that not all
|
||
weeds are contacted, repeat treatment may be necessary.
|
||
Shielded and Hooded Applicators
|
||
For shielded and hooded applicators, use nozzles that provide uniform coverage within
|
||
the treated area. Keep shields on these sprayers adjusted to protect desirable
|
||
vegetation.
|
||
Wiper Applicators and Sponge Bars
|
||
Equipment must be designed, maintained, and operated to prevent the herbicide
|
||
solution from contacting desirable vegetation. Apply at ground speeds of 5 mph or less.
|
||
Use slower speeds where weeds are dense. For improved control, make 2 applications
|
||
in opposite directions.
|
||
Do not use wiper equipment when weeds are wet.
|
||
Use the spray solution within 24 hours of mixing.
|
||
For Rope or Sponge Wick Applicators: Mix 1 to 2 gallons of Touchdown CT in 2
|
||
gallons of water to prepare a 33 to 75 % solution. Apply this solution to weeds listed in
|
||
this section.
|
||
For Porous Plastic Applicators and Pressure Feed Systems: Mix 1 gallon of
|
||
Touchdown CT in 2 gallons of water to prepare a 33% solution up to using the product

FORESTRY AND UTILITY RIGHTS-OF-WAY USES
|
||
Touchdown CT may be used for the control or partial control of woody brush, trees,
|
||
annual, and perennial weeds in forestry and utility sites. Touchdown CT also may be
|
||
used in preparing or establishing wildlife openings within these sites, for maintaining
|
||
logging roads, and for side trimming along utility rights-of-way (including electrical
|
||
power; pipeline and telephone rights-of-way; and utility sites such as substations).
|
||
Do not apply this product to any body of water.
|
||
Do not apply this product by air to forestry and utility rights-of-way.
|
||
Broadcast applications can be made at 1.4 to 7.2 qtlA in 10 to 60 galions/A by ground.
|
||
Spray to wet applications can be made with a handgun, backpack, or mistblower
|
||
applicator with a 0.75 to 2% spray solution. For low volume directed spray applications,
|
||
use a 5 to 10% solution of Touchdown CT. Handguns, backpack, or mistblower
|
||
applicators can be used. For low volume directed spray applications, coverage should
|
||
be uniform with at least 50 percent of the foliage contacted. Coverage of the top one
|
||
half of the plant is important for best results.
|
||
Refer to the WEEDS, WOODY BRUSH AND TREES CONTROLLED sections for use
|
||
rates. For best results, apply to actively growing woody brush and trees after full leaf
|
||
expansion and before fall color and leaf drop. Increase rates within the specified range
|
||
for control of perennial weeds any time after emergence and before seed heads, flowers,
|
||
or berries appear.
|
||
Use the lower rates of Touchdown CT within the specified range for control of annual
|
||

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 seed heads are in the boot stage. Treatments after
|

seed head emergence may cause injury to desired grasses.
|
||
Renovation; Seed or Sod Production
|
||
Touchdown CT may be used to renovate turf in any areas described in
|
||
NONAGRICULTURAL USE AREAS.
|
||
Touchdown CT 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 CT after
|
||
omitting at least one regular mowing to allow sufficient growth for good interception of
|
||
the spray.
|
||
Use Precautions and Restrictions for Turfgrass Uses
|
||
• Do not feed or graze turfgrass grown for seed or sod production for 8 weeks
|
||
following application.
|
||
• 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.
|
||
• 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.
|
||
|
||
61
|
||
• Application of rates greater than 12 fI ozlA of Touchdown CT may result in injury or
|
||
delayed green-up in highly maintained areas, such as golf courses and lawns.
|
||
• Oust XP tank mixes should not be used in highly maintained turfgrass.
|
||
• Use only in areas where some temporary injury or discoloration of perennial grasses
|
||
can be tolerated.

|
||
CONTROLLED section.
|
||
Touchdown CT may be used to maintain bare ground on railroad ballast and shoulders.
|
||
Repeat applications of Touchdown CT may be used, as weeds emerge, to maintain
|
||
bare ground. Touchdown CT may be used to control tall-growing weeds to improve
|
||
line-of-sight at railroad crossings and reduce the need for mowing along rights-of-way.
|
||
For crossing applications, up to 80 gallons of spray solution per acre may be used.
|
||
Touchdown CT may be tank mixed with the following products for ballast, shoulder,
|
||
spot, bare ground, and crossing treatments.

Woody Brush and Tree Management
|
||
For specific use rates, refer to WEEDS CONTROLLED, WOODY BRUSH AND TREES
|
||
CONTROLLED section.
|
||
Touchdown CT may be used to control woody brush and tree weeds in any area
|
||
described in USE AREAS.
|
||
Apply Touchdown CT as a broadcast spray, using boom-type or boom less nozzles.
|
||
Apply a 0.75 to 2% solution of Touchdown CT when using high-volume spray-to-wet
|
||
applications. Use a 5 to 10% solution of Touchdown CT when using low volume
|
||
directed sprays for spot treatment.
|
||
For weeds that have been mowed, grazed, or cut; allow regrowth to occur prior to
|
||
treatment. Reduced results may occur when treating weeds heavily covered with dust.
|
||
Tank Mixtures for Woody Brush Control on Railroad Rights-of Way
|
||
Touchdown CT can be tank mixed with the following products for enhanced control of
|
||
woody brush and trees.

|
||
Cut Stumps
|
||
Touchdown CT will control regrowth of cut stumps and resprouts of many types of
|
||
woody brush and tree species, some of which are listed. Apply Touchdown CT using
|
||
suitable equipment to ensure coverage of the entire cambium. Cut trees or resprouts
|
||
close to the soil surface. Apply a 50 to 100% solution of Touchdown CT completely
|
||
covering the freshly cut surface immediately after cutting. Application delay may result
|
||
in reduced performance. For best results, applications should be made during periods
|
||
of active growth and full leaf expansion. Avoid applications during peak sap flow in
|
||
spring.

Note: Avoid making cut stump applications when roots of desirable adjacent trees may
|
||
have grafted onto the roots of the cut stump.
|
||
Tree Injections and Frill Applications
|
||
Touchdown CT may be used to control woody brush and trees by using injection and
|
||
frill applications in any areas described in NONAGRICULTURAL USE AREAS.
|
||
Apply the equivalent of 1 ml of this product per each 2 to 3 inches of trunk diameter at
|
||
breast height (DBH). For best results, apply a 25 to 100% solution of Touchdown CT to
|
||
a continuous frill or to evenly spaced cuts around the tree below all branches. In larger
|
||
diameter trees, better results are achieved by applying diluted material to a continuous
|
||
frill or more closely spaced cuttings.
|
||
Avoid runoff in species that exude sap freely by making frills or cuts at an oblique angle,
|
||
producing a cupping effect. Use Touchdown CT in an undiluted form. For best results,
|
||
avoid applications during peak sap flow in the spring. Make applications during periods
|
||
of active growth and after full leaf expansion.
|
||
Following is a partial list of species that can be controlled using this technique.

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

Apply Touchdown CT after full leaf expansion, unless otherwise directed. Use the
|
||
higher rate for larger plants and/or dense areas of growth. On vines, use the higher rate
|
||
for plants that have reached the woody stage of growth. In most areas, best results are
|
||
obtained when application is made in late summer or fall after fruit formation.
|
||
In arid areas, best results are obtained when applications are made in the spring to
|
||
early summer when brush species are at high moisture content and are flowering.
|
||
Symptoms may not appear prior to frost or senescence with fall treatments.
|
||
Allow 7 or more days after application before tillage, mowing, or removal. Repeat
|
||
treatments may be necessary to control plants regenerating from underground parts or
|
||
seed. Reduced performance may result if fall treatments are made following a frost.
|
||
When plants are growing under stressed conditions, or where infestations are dense,
|
||
Touchdown CT may be used at 3.6 to 7.6 qtlA or a 0.7 to 1.5% solution for spot spray
