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).

GENERAL CHEMIGATION INSTRUCTIONS
|
||
Apply this product only through sprinkler , including center pivot, lateral move, side (wheel) roll,
|
||
traveler, big gun, solid set, hand move; furrow or drip irrigation systems. Do not apply this product
|
||
through any other type of irrigation system.
|
||
|
||
Crop injury, lack of effectiveness, or illegal pesticide residues in the crop can result from non-uniform
|
||
distribution of treated water.
|
||
|
||
If you have questions about calibration, you should contact State Extension Service specialists,
|
||
equipment manufacturers or other experts.
|
||
|
||
Do not connect an irrigation system (including greenhouse systems) used for pesticide application to
|
||
a public water system unless the pesticide label prescribed safety devices for public water systems
|
||
are in place.
|
||
|
||
A person knowledgeable of the chemigation system and responsible for its operation, or under
|
||
supervision of the responsible person, shall shut the system down and make necessary adjustments
|
||
should the need arise.
|
||
|
||
Maintain agitation in the supply tank while adding the required amount of ASCEND SL , and
|
||
throughout the application. ASCEND SL should be added to the supply tank at the end of water
|
||
application (prior to last complete cycle in moving systems).
|
||
|
||
The correct amount of ASCEND SL to add is calculated as the rate in fluid ounces per acre x the
|
||
number of acres covered by the contents of the supply tank.
|
||
|
||
(For example, if the supply tank covers ten acres and the rate on the label for that crop is 2 fluid
|
||
ounces per acre, add 10 x 2 = 20 fluid ounces to the supply tank at the beginning of the last full
|
||
cycle).
|
||
|
||
CHEMIGATION SYSTEMS CONNECTED TO PUBLIC WATER SYSTEMS
|
||
Public water system means a system for the provision to the public of piped water for human
|
||
consumption if such system has at least 15 service connections or regularly serves an average of at
|
||
least 25 individuals daily at least 60 days out of the year.
|
||
|
||
Chemigation systems connected to public water systems must contain a functional, reduced -
|
||
pressure zone, backflow preventer (RPZ) or the functional equivalent in the water supply line
|
||
upstream from the point of pesticide introduction. As an option to the RPZ, the water from the public
|
||
water system should be discharged into a reservoir tank prior to pesticide introduction. There shall
|
||
be a complete physical break (air gap) between the outlet end of the fill pipe and the top or overflow
|
||
rim of the reservoir tank of at least twice the inside diameter of the fill pipe.
|
||
|
||
The pesticide injection p ipeline must contain a functional, automatic, quick -closing check valve to
|
||
prevent the flow of fluid back toward the injection pump.
|
||
|
||
4
|
||
|
||
The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional, normally closed, solenoid-operated valve
|
||
located on the intake side of the injection pump and connected to the system interlock to prevent fluid
|
||
from being withdrawn from the supply tank when the irrigation system is either automatically or
|
||
manually shut down.
|
||
|
||
The system must contain functional interlocking controls to automatically shut off the pesticide
|
||
injection pump when the pump motor stops, or in cases where there is no water pump, when the
|
||
water pressure decreases to the point where pesticide distribution is adversely affected.
|
||
|
||
Systems must use a metering pump, such as a positive displacement injection pump (e.g. diaphragm
|
||
pump) effectively designed and constructed of materials that are compatible with the pesticides and
|
||
capable of being fitted with a system interlock.
|
||
|
||
Do not apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the area intended for treatment.
|
||
|
||
The pesticide supply tank should be agitated throughout the application of ASCEND SL. ASCEND
|
||
SL should be applied at the end of the water application.
|
||
|
||
ASCEND SL should be applied at the end of the irrigation period in a sufficient amount of water to
|
||
allow proper coverage of plant or crop [. but not to exceed 19.2 fluid ounces of ASCEND SL per acre
|
||
per application.]
|
||
|
||
IN-FURROW CHEMIGATION
|
||
1. Systems using a gravity flow pesticide dispensing system must meter the pesticide into the water
|
||
at the head of the field and downstream of a hydraulic discontinuity such as a drop structure or weir
|
||
box to decrease potential for water source contamination from backflow if water flow stops.
|
||
|
||
2. Systems utilizing a pressurized water and pesticide injection system must meet the following
|
||
requirements:
|
||
|
||
a. The system must contain a functional check valve, vacuum relief valve, and low pressure
|
||
drain appropriately located on the irrigation pipeline to prevent water source contamination from
|
||
backflow.
|
||
|
||
b. The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional, automatic, quick -closing check
|
||
valve to prevent the flow of fluid back toward the injection pump.
|
||
|
||
c. The pesticide injection pipeline must also contain a functional, normally closed, solenoid-
|
||
operated valve located on the intake side of the injection pump and connected to the system
|
||
interlock to prevent fluid from being withdrawn from the supply tank when the irrigation system is
|
||
either automatically or manually shut down.
|
||
|
||
d. The system must contain functional interlocking controls to automatically shut off the
|
||
pesticide injection pump when the water pump motor stops.
|
||
|
||
e. The irrigation line or water pump must include a functional pressure switch which will stop the
|
||
water pump motor when the water pressure decreases to the point where pesticide distribution is
|
||
adversely affected.
|
||
|
||
f. Systems must use a metering pump, such as a positive displacement injection pump (e.g.,
|
||
diaphragm pump) effectively designed and constructed of materials that are compatible with
|
||
pesticides and capable of being fitted with a system interlock.
|
||
|
||

|
||
Maintain agitation in the supply tank while adding the required amount of ASCEND SL , a nd
|
||
throughout the application. ASCEND SL should be added to the supply tank at the end of wat er
|
||
application (prior to last complete cycle in moving systems).
|
||
|
||
The correct amount of ASCEND SL to add is calculated as the rate in fluid ounces per acre x the
|
||
number of acres covered by the contents of the supply tank.
|
||
|
||
(For example, if the supply tank covers ten acres and the rate on the label for that crop is 2 fluid
|
||
ounces per acre, add 10 x 2 = 20 fluid ounces to the supply tank at the beginning of the last full
|
||
cycle).
|
||
|
||
DRIP CHEMIGATION
|
||
|
||
The system must contain a functional check valve, vacuum relief valve and low pressure drain
|
||
appropriately located on the irrigation pipeline to prevent water source contamination from back
|
||
flow.
|
||
|
||
The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional, automatic, quick -closing check valve to
|
||
prevent the flow of fluid back toward the injection pump.
|
||
|
||
The pesticide injection pipeline must also contain a functional, normally closed, solenoid- operated
|
||
valve located on the intake side of the injection pump and connected to the system in terlock to
|
||
prevent fluid from being withdrawn from the supply tank when the irrigation system is either
|
||
automatically or manually shut down.
|
||
|
||
The system must contain functional inter -locking controls to automatically shut off the pesticide
|
||
injection pump when the water pump motor stops.
|
||
|
||
The irrigation line or water pump must include a functional pressure sw itch which will stop the
|
||
water pump motor when the water pressure decreases to the point where pesticide distribution is
|
||
adversely affected.
|
||
|
||
Systems mu st use a metering pump such as a positive displacement injection pump (e.g.,
|
||
diaphragm pump) effectively designed and constructed of materials that are compatible with
|
||
pesticides and capable of being fitted with a system interlock.
|
||
|
||
Prior to adding ASCEND SL to the supply tank, start drip irrigation water and check for leaks.
|
||
|
||
Maintain agitation in the supply tank while adding the required amount of ASCEND SL and
|
||
throughout the application.
|
||
|
||
If the drip irrigation tape is placed between rows, add ASCEND SL to the supply tank early in the
|
||
irrigation cycle so the ASCEND SL is pushed close to the seed as the water moves through the
|
||
soil.
|
||
|
||
If the drip irrigation is directly above the seed, add ASCEND SL to the supply tank as close as
|
||
possible to the end of the drip irrigation cycle. Maximize direct ASCEND SL contact with the seed.
|
||
|
||
Calculate the amount of A SCEND SL to add to the supply tank by multiplying the rate , in fluid
|
||
ounces per acre, by the number of acres to be covered by the contents of the supply tank. (For
|
||
example, if the supply tank contents cover ten acres and the rate on the label for the crop is 6.3
|
||
fluid ounces per acre, add 10 x 6.3 = 63 fluid ounces to the supply tank).
|
||
|

|
||
FOLIAR SPRAY PROGRAM FOR RICE
|
||
ASCEND SL should be applied at 3.4 fluid ounces per acre as a foliar spray to the plant during either
|
||
one of the following stages of development.
|
||
|
||
Primary Recommendations - 3 to 7 Leaf St age: This application must be made after the rice
|
||
seedling has 3 fully emerged leaves and the 4th leaf is beginning to emerge, but before the seedling
|
||
has completed development of 7 leaves or 3 tillers. This period for application generally begins
|
||
about 3-6 weeks after seeding and ends 5- 9 weeks after seeding. The duration of this period
|
||
depends on the variety and the growing conditions. This applicat ion may be made in conjunction
|
||
with corresponding herbicide applications.
|
||
|
||
Alternate Recommendation - Two Millimeter (mm) Panicle Growth Stage: If the primary
|
||
application is missed, ASCEND SL can be applied to stimulate cell differentiation in the developing
|
||
panicle. This application must be made when no more than 10% of the main culms are at the 2 mm
|
||
panicle growth stage. The 2 mm panicle growth stage occurs immediately after internode elongation
|
||
or joint movement has begun. ASCEND SL must be applied as soon as internode elongation is
|
||
detected so the 2 mm panicle growth stage is not missed. It is better t o apply slightly early than to
|
||
apply late. IMPORTANT: Timing of the application at 2 mm growth stage is critical. Check the
|
||
entire field for stage of plant development. Large fields may require split applications on upper and
|
||
lower ends of the field to ensure proper timing throughout the field.
|
||
|
||
|
||
ORNAMENTAL PLANTS
|
||
Drench Applications: Mix 6 to 8 fluid ounces of ASCEND SL per 100 gallons of water.
|
||
|
||
Foliar Applications: Apply ASCEND SL at a rate of 0.1 to 0.3 fluid ounces per 1000 square feet or
|
||
mix 4 to 6 fluid ounces of ASCEND SL per 100 gallons of water and apply until runoff.
|
||
|
||
For Rooting: Mix 0.75 fluid ounces of ASCEND SL per one gallon of water and dip cuttings into
|
||
solution prior to sticking.
|
||
|
||
To enhance rooting of dipped cuttings, mix 0.2 to 0.4 fluid ounces of ASCEND SL per one gallon of
|
||
water and spray over the top of stuck cuttings, 5 to 7 days after sticking and again 10 to 14 days after
|
||
sticking.
|
||
|
||
TURFGRASS
|
||
On all turfgrass, regardless of use, use no more than 0.3 fluid ounce per 1,000 s quare feet per
|
||
month.
|
||
|
||
WARM SEASON TURF (Bermuda, Bermuda hybrids, Zoysia, Centipede, St. Augustine, etc.):
|
||
For lower traffic areas and where ASCEND SL is used as a maintenance program, begin
|
||
applications early in the growing season. Apply at the rate of 0.1 to 0.2 fluid ounce per 1,000 square
|
||
ft. Maintenance application should be made on a two to three -week schedule throughout the
|
||
growing season. Applications can be made with foliarly-applied urea for added benefits.
|
||
|
||
COOL SEASON TURF (Tall Fescue, Rye, Bentgrass, Bluegrass, etc.): Apply 0.2 fluid ounce per
|
||
1,000 square feet in fall, or when stand is established. Repeat application in late winter when
|
||
grasses begin to grow actively.
|
||
|
||
APPLICATION WITH FOLIARLY-APPLIED UREA: Maximum benefit and color can be achieved
|
||
when ASCEND SL applications are made with foliarly -applied urea solutions. To prepare urea
|
||
|
||
14
|
||
solution, dissolve 46% urea into spray solution at the rate of 1.0 lb. per 5,000 square feet to be
|
||
sprayed and apply with specified rate of ASCEND SL.
|
||
|
||
|
||
SPECIFIC RATES OF APPLICATION
|
||
TEES AND GREENS: Apply 0.1 to 0.2 fluid ounce per 1,000 square feet on a 2 week schedule
|
||
throughout the growing season. Begin in early spring after grasses have begun to grow. Sunbelt
|
||
and transition zones should continue spray program throughout playing season. Courses north of
|
||
the transition zone should continue applications through September.
|
||
|
||
FAIRWAYS: Begin applications in early spring as soon as grasses have begun to actively grow.
|
||
Apply 0.1 fluid ounce per 1,000 square feet and repeat on a monthly schedule as long as grass is
|
||
growing.
|
||
|
||
PRE-TOURNAMENT QUICK GREEN-UP: Apply at the rate of 0.1 to 0.2 fluid ounce p er 1,000
|
||
square feet in conjunction with urea solution 4 to 5 days prior to playing time. Make application with
|
||
a minimum spray volume of 0.5 gallon of water per 1,000 square feet.
|
||
|
||
SPRING DORMANCY BREAK: Apply 0.1 fluid ounce per 1,000 square feet in spring as soon as
|
||
new growth (opening) is visible. Raking of thatch prior to making this application is most desirable.
|
||
Application at this time generates rapid growth and often reduces incidence of “spring die back” on
|
||
certain species of grass.
|
||
|
||
FALL APPLICATION FOR WINTER HARDINESS: Make 2 applications 7- 10 days apart in late
|
||
summer or early fall just prior to the cessation of normal active growth. Apply 0.1 to 0.2 fluid ounce
|
||
per 1,000 square feet. Make application with a spray volume of 0.5 gallon of water per 1,000 square
|
||
feet. Applications at this time will greatly increase root mass and depth of roots.
|
||
|
||
COMMERCIAL TURF, CEMETERIES, ATHLETIC FIELDS, GOLF COURSES, AND OTHER FINE
|
||
TURF AREAS: Applications of 0.1 to 0.2 fluid ounces per 1,000 square feet made at any point
|
||
during the growing season w ill produce desirable results. Make applications during the very early
|
||
growth stages and continue on a regular monthly schedule throughout the growing season.
|
||
Healthier and more beautiful turf can be realized in high traffic areas such as golf greens and tees by
|
||
making regular applications every two weeks.
|
||
|
||
POST STRESS RECOVERY: As a post stress treatment, apply 0.1 fluid ounce of ASCEND SL per
|
||
1000 square feet immediately after stressful event (such as heat, drought, winter, or traffic stress).
|
||
Repeat application 7 to 14 days after initial application.
|
||
|
||
[SOD FARMS
|
||
Apply 4.2 to 8.4 fluid ounces per acre on a monthly basis during the growing season. Two weeks
|
||
prior to cutting sod, make an application of 4.2 to 8.4 fluid ounces per acre.
|
||
|
||
SPECIFIC RATES OF APPLICATION
|
||
After sod is cut, a reestablishment program is necessary. Start this program as soon as there is any
|
||
greening over 30% of the area. Spray with 4.2 to 8.4 fluid ounces per acre of ASCEND SL. Repeat
|
||
in 2 weeks and thereafter once per month throughout the growing season. Make a final application
