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).

Engineering Control Statements
|
||
-'-When handlers use closed systems, enclosed cabs, or aircraft in a manner that meets
|
||
the requirements listed in the Worker Protection Standard (WPS) for agricultural
|
||
pesticides [40 CFR 170.240(d)(4-6)], the handler PPE requirements may be reduced or
|
||
modified as specified in the WPS.
|
||
IMPORTANT: When reduced PPE is worn because a closed system is being used,
|
||
handlers must be provided all PPE specified above for Applicators and other
|
||
handlers and have such PPE immediately available for use in an emergency, such as a
|
||
spill or eqUipment breakdown.
|
||
User Safety Recommendations
|
||
Users should:
|
||
• Wash hands before eating, drinking, .chewing gum, using tobacco, or using
|
||
the toilet.
|
||
• Remove clothing immediately if pesticide gets inside. Then wash thoroughly
|
||
and put on clean clothing.
|
||
Environmental Hazards
|
||
Do not apply directly to water, to areas where surface water is present, or to intertidai
|
||
areas below the mean high water mark. Do not contaminate water when disposing of
|
||
eqUipment wash water or rinsate. This pesticide contains atrazine, which has been
|
||
shown to be toxic to aquatic invertebrates. Runoff and drift from treated areas may be
|
||
hazardous to aquatic organisms in neighbOring areas.
|
||
|
||
Ground Water Advisory
|
||
Expert NT Booklet
|
||
Page 5
|
||
09/09/03
|
||
Expert NT contains the active ingredients atrazine, S-metolachlor, and the
|
||
isopropylamine salt of glyphosate.
|
||
Atrazine can travel (seep or leach) through soil and can enter ground water which may
|
||
be used as drinking water. Atrazine has been found in ground water. Users are
|
||
advised not to apply atrazine to sand and loamy sand soils where the water table
|
||
(ground water) is close to the surface and where these soils are very permeable, i.e.,
|
||
well-drained. Your local agricultural agencies can provide further information on the
|
||
type of soil in your area and the location of ground water.
|
||
S-metolachlor has the potential to leach through soil into ground water under certain
|
||
conditions as a result of agricultural use. Use of this chemical in areas where soils are
|
||
permeable, particularly where the water table is shgll.low, may result in ground water
|
||
contamination.
|
||
Surface Water Advisory
|
||
S-metolachlor has the potential to contaminate surface water through ground spray drift.
|
||
Under some conditions, S-metolachlor may also have a high potential for runoff into
|
||
surface water (primarily via dissolution in runoff water) for several months post
|
||
application. These include poorly draining or wet soils with readily visible slopes toward
|
||
adjacent surface waters, frequently flooded areas, areas overlaying extremely shallow
|
||
ground water, areas with in-field canals or ditches that drain to surface water, areas not
|
||
separated from adjacent surface waters with vegetated filter strips, and areas overlaying
|
||
tile drainage systems that drain to surface water.
|
||
Mixing/loading Instructions
|
||
Care must be taken when using this product to prevent back-siphoning into wells, spills,
|
||
or improper disposal of excess pesticide, spray mixtures, or rinsates.
|
||
Check-valves or antisiphoning devices must be used on all mixing eqUipment.
|
||
This product may not be mixed/loaded or used within 50 ft. of all wells, including
|
||
abandoned wells, drainage wells, and sink holes. Operations that involve mixing,
|
||
loading, rinsing, or washing of this product into or from pesticide handling or application
|
||
equipment or containers within 50 ft. of any well are prohibited, unless conducted on '3n
|
||
impervious pad constructed to withstand the weight of the heaviest load that may be
|
||
positioned on or moved across the pad. Such a pad shall be deSigned and maintained
|
||
to contain any product spills or equipment leaks, container or eqUipment rinse or wash
|
||
water, and rain water that may fall on the pad. Surface water shall not be allowed to
|
||
either flow over or from the pad, which means the pad must be self-contained. The p'ld
|
||
shall be sloped to facilitate material removal. An unroofed pad shall be of sufficient
|
||
|
||
Expert NT Booklet
|
||
PageS
|
||
09/09/03
|
||
capacity to contain at a minimum 110% of the capacity of the largest pesticide container
|
||
or application equipment on the pad. A pad that is covered by a roof of sufficient size to
|
||
completely exclude precipitation from contact with the pad shall have a minimum
|
||
containment capacity of 100% of the capacity of the largest pesticide container or
|
||
application equipment on the pad. Containment capacities as described above shall be
|
||
maintained at all times. The above-specified minimum containment capacities do not
|
||
apply to vehicles when delivering pesticide shipments to the mixing/loading site.
|
||
States may have in effect additional requirements regarding well-head setbacks and
|
||
operational area containment.
|
||
This product may not be mixed or loaded within 50 ft. of perennial or intermittent
|
||
streams and rivers, natural or impounded lakes and reservoirs. This product may not
|
||
be applied aerially or by ground within 66 ft. of the points where field surface water
|
||
runoff enters perennial or intermittent streams and rivers or within 200 ft. around natural
|
||
or impounded lakes and reservoirs. If this product.l&-applied to highly erodible land, the
|
||
66 ft. buffer or setback from runoff entry points must be planted to crop, or seeded with
|
||
grass or other suitable crop.
|
||
Tile-Terraced Fields Containing Standpipes
|
||
To ensure protection of surface water from runoff through standpipes with liIe-outiets in
|
||

GENERAL INFORMATION
|
||
Expert NT is a herbicide that may be applied before or after weed emergence for conirol
|
||
of many annual grass and broad leaf weeds in corn. This product will also provide in-
|
||
|
||
r
|
||
Expert NT Booklet
|
||

|
||
09/09/03
|
||
season control of certain emerged perennial weeds. Expert NT may be applied up to 30
|
||
days before, during, or after planting all types of corn grown under no-tillage or other
|
||
reduced tillage practices, but prior to emergence of corn that is not specifically
|
||
designated as Roundup Ready. Expert NT can also be used before crop emergence
|
||
for control of many annual grass and broadleaf weeds in grain or forage sorghum,
|
||
provided the sorghum seed has been properly treated by the seed company with
|
||
Concep® III. This product may be tank mixed with other herbicides specified on this
|
||
label for weed control in conventional, minimum-till, and no-till corn, grain sorghum, or
|
||
forage sorghum.
|
||
USE PRECAUTIONS: DO NOT APPL Y EXPERT NT AFTER SORGHUM EMERGES.
|
||
DO NOT APPL Y EXPERT NT AFTER CORN EMERGES UNLESS THE CORN SEED
|
||
IS SPECIFICALL Y DESIGNA TED AS ROUNDUP READY. FAILURE TO COMPL Y
|
||
WITH THIS USE PRECAUTION WILL CAUSE SEVERE INJURY OR DEA TH TO
|
||
NON-ROUNDUP READY CORN AND SORGHUM PLANTS.
|
||
Note: Tank mixtures are permitted only in those states and crops and where the tank
|
||
mix partner is registered. Follow the label of each product used for precautionary
|
||
statements, directions for use, geographic and other restrictions.
|
||
Before corn or sorghum emerges, water or fluid fertilizer (28%-32% nitrogen solutions
|
||
only) may be used as the carrier when applying Expert NT alone or in tank mixtures
|
||
approved on this label. Control of emerged weeds, especially perennial species,
|
||
may be reduced if fluid fertilizer is used as the carrier. Do not use complex fluid
|
||
fertilizers such as 10-34-0 as the spray carrier when applying Expert NT. Expert
|
||
NT may be applied to Roundup Ready corn after emergence up to a corn height of
|
||
12 inches tall. Use only water as a carrier when applying Expert NT after Roundup
|
||
Ready corn emergence. Do not apply Expert NT in tank mixture with any other
|
||
products after crop emergence.
|
||
Where reference is made to weeds partially controlled, partial control means significant
|
||
activity, but not always at a level generally conSidered acceptable for commercial weed
|
||
control.
|
||
Use Precautions: (1) If sorghum seed is not properly pretreated with Concep /1/ or
|
||
Screen, Expert NT may severely injure the crop. (2) Injury may occur to sorghum
|
||
following the use of Expert NT under abnormally high soil moisture conditions during
|
||
early development of the crop.
|
||
Expert NT alone or in tank mixture with Dual II MAGNUM®, AAtrex® 4L or AAtrex Nine
|
||
O® (atrazine), Princep® 4L or Princep Caliber® 90 (simazine), Roundup® (glyphosa\E'),
|
||
Py1hon®, Hornet®, Prowl® (pendimethalin), Banvel® or Clarity® (dicamba), or 2,4-0
|
||
may be applied to corn preplant or preemergence, in water or fluid fertilizer.
|
||
|
||
Expert NT Booklet
|

|
||
09109/03
|
||
Expert NT alone or in combination with Roundup (glyphosate) may be applied to
|
||
sorghum preplant or preemergence in water or fluid fertilizer, provided the sorghum
|
||
seed has been properly treated by the seed company with Concep III or Screen.
|
||
Triazine resistant biotypes of some weeds have developed following many years of
|
||
continuous use or atrazine (one of the ingredients in Expert NT) and other triazines. For
|
||
best results, where triazine resistant biotypes are known or suspected to exist with other
|
||
weeds, Syngenta recommends the use of Expert NT after emergence of resistant
|
||
biotypes. Consult with your State Agricultural Extension Service for specific
|
||
recommendations.
|
||
Soil Texture Information
|
||
Within rate ranges on all tables in this label, use the lower rate on soil relatively coarse
|
||
textured or low in organic matter; use the higher ra!,~ on soil relatively fine-textured or
|
||
high in organic matter and where weed pressure, particularly from grasses, is expected
|
||
to be especially heavy.
|
||
Recommendations are based upon soil textures, which are defined as follows:
|
||
COARSE
|
||
MEDIUM
|
||
FINE
|
||

|
||
To reduce the potential for crop injury, avoid all direct or indirect contact of Expert NT
|
||
with corn and sorghum seed.
|
||
To avoid spray drift, do not apply if wind is in excess of 10 mph or if winds are gusty. If
|
||
sensitive crops or plants are growing downwind, do not apply if wind speed is in excess
|
||
of 5 mph or gusty. (See Recommendations to Avoid Spray Drift section).
|
||
Do not apply this product by aerial equipment.
|
||
Avoid spray overlap, as crop injury may result.
|
||
Do not apply Expert NT through any type of irrigation system.
|
||
Do not apply under conditions that favor runoff or wind erosion of soil containing Exper,
|
||
NT to non-target areas.
|
||
|
||
Expert NT Booklet
|

|
||
To prevent off-site movement due to runoff or wind erosion:
|
||
1. Avoid treating powdery dry or light sand soils when conditions are favorable for wind
|
||
erosion. Under these conditions, the soil should first be settled by rainfall or
|
||
irrigation.
|
||
2. Do not apply to impervious substrates, such as paved or highly compacted surfaces.
|
||
3. Do not use tailwater from the first flood or furrow irrigation of treated fields to treat
|
||
non-target crops, unless at least Y, inch of rainfall has occurred between application
|
||
and the first irrigation.
|
||
Rainfall or sprinkler irrigation within 2 hours of application may reduce control of
|
||
emerged weeds.
|
||
.'-Dry weather following preemergence application of Expert NT alone or in tank mixtures
|
||
may reduce effectiveness. Reduced control of emerged weeds may occur when weeds
|
||
are under poor growing conditions such as from drought stress, cool temperatures or
|
||
cloudy weather, when applications follow recent mowing, or when excess amounts of
|
||
dust cover plants.
|
||
Thoroughly clean sprayer before uSing. Dispose of cleaning solution in a responsible
|
||
manner. Do not use a sprayer contaminated with other materials, or crop injury or
|
||
sprayer clogging may occur.
|
||
Expert NT Applied Alone
|
||
The addition of ammonium sulfate in the spray solution may increase the performance
|
||
of Expert NT and recommended tank mixtures of emerged annual weeds growing under
|
||
adverse conditions. If desired, add spray grade, dry ammonium sulfate at 2% by weight
|
||
or 171bsJ100 gals. of water. Ammonium sulfate should be added to the water in the
|
||
spray tank and completely dissolved prior to adding any herbicides. Do not mix
|
||
ammonium sulfate in any fluid fertilizer solutions. Additional surfactants are not
|
||
required with this product.
|
||
When applied as directed in this label, Expert NT will provide control or partial control of
|
||
the following annual weeds BEFORE EMERGENCE.

products, do not exceed the total annual atrazine limits outlined as follows:
|
||
FOR ALL SOIL APPLICATIONS PRIOR TO CORN EMERGENCE
|
||
On Highly Erodible Soils (as defined by the Natural Resource Conservation
|
||
Service)
|
||
• If conservation tillage is practiced, leaving at least 30% of the soil covered with plant
|
||
residues at planting, apply a maximum atrazine rate of 2.0 Ibs. a.i.lA as a broadcast
|
||
spray.
|
||
• If the soil coverage is less than 30% at planting, apply a maximum atrazine rate of
|
||
1.6 Ibs. a.i.lA.
|
||
On Soils Not Highly Erodible
|
||
• Apply a maximum atrazine rate of 2.0 Ibs. a.i.lA as a broadcast spray.
|
||
FOR APPLICATIONS AFTER CORN EMERGENCE
|
||
If no atrazine was applied prior to corn emergence, apply a maximum rate of 2.0 Ibs.
|
||
a.i.lA broadcast. If a postemergent application of atrazine is required following an
|
||
earlier application, the total atrazine rate may not exceed 2.5 Ibs. a.i.lA per calendar
|
||
year.
|
||
Application Rates and Timings
|
||
Within rate ranges, use the lower rate on soil relatively coarse-textured and/or low in
|
||
organic matter, or where weed pressure is expected to be low or weeds listed on this
|
||
label are less than 6 inches tall. Use the higher rate on soil relatively fine-textured
|
||
and/or high in organic matter, or where weed pressure is expected to be heavy, or
|
||
weeds listed on this label are from 6-12 inches tall, or when spraying perennial weej~.
|
||
When applying Expert NT, good coverage of weeds with the spray mixture is essential
|
||
for maximum weed control results. Observe spray nozzles frequently during the .
|
||
spraying operation to ensure that the spray pattern is uniform. Avoid spraying wher,
|
||
coverage will not be uniform or when excessive spray drift may occur. Allow adequ3te
|
||
distance between the target area and desirable, non-target vegetation. Avoid spray .
|
||
overlap, because crop injury may result.
|
||
|
||
Rotational Crops
|
||
Do not rotate to food or feed crops other than those listed below:

||
sorghum seed has been treated with Concep III. Do not make a second broadcast
|
||
application of Expert NT. If the original application was banded and the second crop
|
||
is planted in the untreated row middles, a second banded treatment may be applied
|

|
||
APPLICATION PROCEDURES
|
||
Ground Applications
|
||
Use stainless steel, aluminum, fiberglass, or polyethylene spray tanks only. Do not
|
||
mix, store, or apply this product or spray solutions of this product in galvanized
|
||
or unlined steel (except stainless steel) containers or spray tanks. This product
|
||
or spray solutions of this product react with such containers to produce
|
||
hydrogen gas, which may form a highly combustible gas mixture. This gas
|
||
mixture could explode causing serious personal injury if ignited. Spray nozzles
|
||
should be uniformly spaced and of the same size, and should provide accurate and
|
||
uniform application. Use spray nozzles that provide medium-coarse droplets to pr0\tirl<3
|
||
good coverage and to minimize drift. (See Recommendations to Avoid Spray Drift
|
||
section.)
|
||
To help assure accuracy, calibrate sprayer at the beginning ofthe season before (.;cc
|
||
and recalibrate frequently. Also recalibrate any time carriers are changed. For ground
|
||
application, use a minimum of 10 gals. of water per acre. When weed infestations arE'
|
||
severe, use higher volumes (e.g., 20 gals.lA) to ensure adequate spray coverage.
|
||
|
||

|
||
Use a pump with capacity to: (1) maintain 35-40 psi pressure at nozzles, and
|
||
(2) provide sufficient agitation within the tank to keep product in suspension. Lower
|
||
pressures may be used with extended range or low-pressure nozzles. A centrifugal
|
||
pump, which provides propeller shear action for dispersing and mixing the product, is
|
||
recommended. The pump should provide a minimum of 20 gals./minute/100 gal. tank
|
||
size circulated through correctly positioned sparger tubes or jets. Agitation during both
|
||
mixing and application is essential. Use screens to protect the pump and to prevent
|
||
nozzles from clogging. Screens placed on the suction side of the pump should be 16-
|
||
mesh or coarser. Do not place a screen in the recirculation line. Use 50-mesh or
|
||
coarser screens between the pump and boom, and when required, at the nozzles.
|
||
Check nozzle manufacturer's recommendations.
|
||
For band applications, calculate the amount to be applied as follows:
|
||
band width in inches
|
||
row width in inches
|
||
x broadcast rate
|
||
per acre

|
||
As with all crop protection products, it is important to avoid off-target movement. Do not
|
||
allow spray from ground equipment to drift onto adjacent land or crops, as even small
|
||
amounts may injure sensitive plants. When drift may be a problem, take steps to
|
||
reduce spray drift, including:
|
||
• Do not spray if wind speed is in excess of 1 0 mph or if winds are gusty.
|
||
• If sensitive crops or plants are growing downwind, extreme caution must be used
|
||
under all conditions. Do not spray if winds are gusty or above 5 mph.
|
||
• Use extreme caution when conditions are favorable for drift (high temperatures and
|
||
low relative humidity), especially when sensitive plants are located nearby.
|
||
• Drift from applications of the herbicide is likely to result in damage to sensitive plants
|
||
adjacent to the treatment site, including corn plants that do not carry the Roundup
|
||
Ready trait.
|
||
• Do not apply when a temperature inversion exists. If an inversion condition is
|
||
suspected, consult with local weather services before making application.
|
||
• Further reductions in drift can be obtained by:
|
||
• Using nozzles that provide a uniform droplet size. Use nozzles that produce
|
||
medium to coarse droplets (250-400 microns VMD) that are less prone to result
|
||
in spray drift.
|
||
• Use flat fan nozzles. For example, Turbo Teejel, XR® Teejet, RF Raindrop®, or
|
||
similar "low drift" nozzles are preferred.
|
||
• Recalibrate sprayer by reducing spray pressures and by increasing spray
|
||
volumes to produce larger droplets when conditions favor drift.
|
||
• Applying as close to target weeds as practical to obtain a good spray patter;) for
|
||
adequate coverage according to nozzle manufacturer's recommendations.
|
||
• Using a drift reducing agent according to the manufacturer's recommendations.

Page 23
|
||
09/09/03
|
||
Since most crops other than Roundup Ready corn are extremely sensitive to low rates
|
||
of Expert NT, special attention must be given to cleaning equipment before spraying
|
||
other crops. Mix only as much spray solution as needed. Immediately after spraying,
|
||
clean equipment thoroughly using this procedure.
|
||
1. Flush tank, hoses, boom, and nozzles with clean water. (See Step 5 for
|
||
disposal).
|
||
2. Prepare a cleaning solution of 1 gal. of household ammonia per 25 gals. of water.
|
||
Many commercial spray tank cleaners may be used. Contact your local
|
||
Syngenta representative for more informatian.about proper tank cleaning
|
||
procedures.
|
||
3. Use a pressure washer to clean the inside of the spray tank with the ammonia
|
||
cleaning solution. Take care to wash all parts of the tank, including the inside top
|
||
surface. If pressure washer is not available, completely fill the sprayer with the
|
||
cleaning solution to ensure contact of the cleaning solution with all intemal
|
||
surfaces of the tank and plumbing. Start agitation in the sprayer and thoroughly
|
||
recirculate the cleaning solution for at least 15 minutes. All visible deposits must
|
||
be removed from the spraying system.
|
||
4. Flush hoses, spray lines, and nozzles for at least one minute with the cleaning
|
||
solution.
|
||
5. Dispose of rinsate from steps 1-4 in an appropriate manner. Spray the cleaning
|
||
solution on land that will be planted to com or sorghum or use other approved
|
||
disposal. Do not spray rinsate after emergence of corn or sorghum.
|
||
6. Repeat steps 2-5.
|
||
7. Remove nozzles, screens and strainers and clean separately in the ammonia
|
||
solution after completing the above procedures.
|
||
8. Rinse the complete spraying system with clean water.
|
||
Note: If the tank is equipped with the proper number of correctly mounted 360>
|
||
tank washing nozzles which are attached to a dedicated rinsing system, lesh "
|
||
cleaning solution than a full tank may be used. Use sufficient cleaning soluijon 10
|
||
thoroughly rinse all surfaces. Start the sprayer agitation and recirculate the: ';.'
|
||
cleaning solution for at least 15 minutes. Flush the sprya boom with the cleaning
|
||
solution. Repeat the rinsing procedure 1-2 times.

MIXING PROCEDURES
|
||
Compatibility Test
|
||
Expert NT Booklet
|
||
Page 24
|
||
09/09103
|
||
A jar test is recommended before mixing to ensure Expert NT compatibility with tank mix
|
||
partners and fluid fertilizer carriers. The following test assumes a spray volume of
|
||
25 gals. per acre. For other spray volumes, make appropriate changes in the ingredient
|
||
rates.
|
||
Note: Nitrogen fertilizer solutions (28%-32% only) may replace part or all of the water
|
||
carrier in the spray tank when applied prior to corn emergence. Do not use complex
|
||
fluid fertilizers such as 10-34-0 as the spray carrier when applying Expert NT.
|
||
Because liquid fertilizers vary, even within the same analysis, always check
|
||
compatibility with pesticide(s) before mixing.
|
||
1. Add 1.0 pt. of carrier (water or fertilizer) to each of two 1 qt. jars with tight lids.
|
||
Note: Use the same source of carrier and other components in the compatibility
|
||
test that will actually be tank mixed and applied. It is important that all
|
||
components are mixed at a temperature similar to the temperature of those used
|
||
for the actual application.
|
||
2. To one of the jars, add Y. tsp. of 1.2 milliliters of a compatibility agent approved
|
||
for this use, such as Compex® or Unite® (1/4 tsp. is equivalent to 2 pt.l100 gals.
|
||
spray solution). Shake or stir gently to mix.
|
||
3. To both jars, add the appropriate amount of pesticide(s) in their relative
|
||
proportions based on recommended labeled rates. If more than one pesticide is
|
||
used, add them separately with dry pesticides first, flowables next, and
|
||
emulsifiables last. After each addition, shake or stir gently to mix.
|
||
4. After adding all ingredients, put lids on and tighten, and invert each jar 10 times
|
||
to mix. Let the mixtures stand 15-30 minutes and then look for separation, large
|
||
flakes, precipitates, gels, heavy oil film on the jar, or other signs of
|
||
incompatibility. Determine if the compatibility agent is needed in the spray
|
||
mixture by comparing the two jars. If either mixtures separates, but can be
|
||
remixed readily, the mixture can be sprayed as long as good agitation is used. If
|
||
the mixtures are incompatible, test the following methods of improving
|
||
compatibility: (a) slurry the dry pesticide(s) in water before addition, or (b) add Y,
|
||
the compatibility agent to the water or fertilizer solution and the other Y, to the
|
||
emulsifiable concentrate or flowable pesticide before addition to the mixture. If
|
||
incompatibility is still observed, do not use the mixture.
|
||
5. After compatibility testing is complete, dispose of any pesticide wastes in
|
||
accordance with the Storage and Disposal section in this label.

|
||
Shake 2.5 gal. jugs well or thoroughly recirculate larger containers before using
|
||
Expert NT and tank mix partners.
|
||
Make sure the spray tank is clean before mixing. If it is contaminated with other
|
||
materials, mixing problems and/or clogging may occur. Inconsistent performance
|
||
and/or injury to the crop may result.
|
||
Fill the spray tank Y-o-Y, full with clean water and begin agitation. Note: Using
|
||
muddy water from sources such as ponds or ditches may reduce the
|
||
activity of Expert NT. "' ....
|
||
Make certain that the agitation system is working properly and creates a rippling
|
||
or rolling action on the liquid surface. Maintain agitation throughout the mixing
|
||
and spraying process.
|
||
Continue filling the spray tank. If a compatibility agent is needed, add the
|
||
required amount to the tank prior to adding any other components. When the
|
||
tank is Y, full, add spray grade ammonium sulfate to the tank if desired. The
|
||
addition of ammonium sulfate in the spray solution may increase the
|
||
performance of Expert NT and recommended tank mixtures on emerged annual
|
||
weeds growing under adverse conditions. If desired, add spray grade, dry
|
||
ammonium sulfate at 2% by weight or 17 IbsJ100 gals. of water. Ammonium
|
||
sulfate should be added to the water in the spray tank and completely dissolved
|
||
prior to adding any herbicides. Do not mix ammonium sulfate in any fluid
|
||
fertilizer solutions. Additional surfactants are not required with this product.
|
||
Next, add selected water-dispersible granule or other dry formulations such as
|
||
AAtrex Nine-O or Princep Caliber 90, and allow material to disperse.
|
||
Pour the required amount of Expert NT into the spray tank while continuing
|
||
agitation and allow time to fully disperse. Add other flowable formulations such
|
||
as AAtrex 4L or Princep 4L.
|
||
Next, add soluble liquids such as glyphosate, dicamba, or 2.4-0 if desired. Then
|
||
add any emulsifiable concentrate formulation such as Dual" MAGNUM or Prowl.
|
||
Complete filling the tank, maintaining sufficient agitation at all times to ensure
|
||
surface action until the spray tank mixture is uniform. : ' •
|
||
An anti-foaming agent may be added to reduce excessive foaming if needed •

Environmental Hazards
|
||
Do not apply directly to water, to areas where surface water is present, or to intertim:1
|
||
areas below the mean high water mark. Do not contaminate water when disposing of
|
||
equipment wash water or rinsate. This pesticide contains atrazine, which has been
|
||
|
||
r
|
||
Expert NT Booklet
|
||
Page 36
|
||
09/09/03
|
||
shown to be toxic to aquatic invertebrates. Runoff and drift from treated areas may be
|
||
hazardous to aquatic organisms in neighboring areas.
|
||
Ground Water Advisory
|
||
Expert NT contains the active ingredients atrazine, S-metolachlor, and the
|
||
isopropylamine salt of glyphosate.
|
||
Atrazine can travel (seep or leach) through soil and can enter ground water which may
|
||
be used as drinking water. Atrazine has been found in ground water. Users are
|
||
advised not to apply atrazine to sand and loamy sand soils where the water table
|
||
(ground water) is close to the surface and where these soils are very permeable, i.e.,
|
||
well-drained. Your local agricultural agencies can provide further information on the
|
||
type of soil in your area and the location of ground water.
|
||
S-metolachlor has the potential to leach through soil into ground water under certain
|
||
conditions as a result of agricultural use. Use of this chemical in areas where soils are
|
||
permeable, particularly where the water table is shallow, may result in ground water
|
||
contamination.
|
||
Surface Water Advisory
|
||
S-metolachlor has the potential to contaminate surface water through ground spray drift.
|
||
Under some conditions, S-metolachlor may also have a high potential for runoff into
|
||
surface water (primarily via dissolution in runoff water) for several months post
|
||
application. These include poorly draining or wet soils with readily visible slopes toward
|
||
adjacent surface waters, frequently flooded areas, areas overlaying extremely shallow
|
||
ground water, areas with in-field canals or ditches that drain to surface water, areas not
|
||
separated from adjacent surface waters with vegetated filter strips, and areas overlaying
|
||
tile drainage systems that drain to surface water.
|
||
