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 Wes Marchione:
|
||
The Agency is in receipt of your Application for Pesticide Notification under Pesticide
|
||
Registration Notice (PRN) 98-10 for the above referenced product. The Registration Division
|
||
(RD) has conducted a review of this request for its applicability under PRN 98-10 and finds that
|
||
the action requested falls within the scope of PRN 98-10.
|
||
The label submitted with the application has been stamped “NOTIFICATION” and placed in our
|
||
records.
|
||
The alternate brand name, “DuPont Afforia” has been added to the product record.
|
||
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 (FIFRA) 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) lists 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.

PRODUCT INFORMATION
|
||
|
||
Afforia AFFORIA® herbicide is a dispersible granule formulation to be mixed with water and sprayed for
|
||
selective burndown and residual weed control. When applied according to the instructions on this label, it
|
||
will control many broadleaf weeds and provide partial control of nutsedge and annual grasses.
|
||
|
||
Crop injury may occur from applications made to poorly drained soils under cool, wet conditions. Risk of
|
||
crop injury can be minimized by not using on poorly drained soils, planting at least 1.5 inches deep and
|
||
completely covering seeds with soil.
|
||
|
||
Residual applications of Afforia AFFORIA® require rainfall or sprinkler irrigation to activate the herbicide.
|
||
Degree of control and duration of effect depend on: rate used, weed spectrum, growing conditions at and
|
||
following time of treatment, soil pH, texture, organic matter, moisture and precipitation.
|
||
|
||
Best residual control is obtained if Afforia AFFORIA® is applied to moist soil and followed by rainfall or
|
||
irrigation (~1”) before weeds germinate. Several small rainfalls of less than 1/4” each are not as beneficial
|
||
as one large rainfall of 1/2-1”. On dry soil, more moisture is required for activation (1-2”) before weed
|
||
emergence. If moisture is insufficient to activate the herbicide, a rotary hoeing or shallow cultivation must
|
||
be made after emergence of the crop while weeds are small enough to be controlled by mechanical
|
||
means. Deep cultivation reduces the effectiveness of Afforia AFFORIA® and must be avoided.
|
||
|
||
Excessive rainfall received in a short period of time following the emergence of soybeans treated with a
|
||
preplant or preemergence application of Afforia AFFORIA® herbicide may cause minor leaf burn,
|
||
crinkling, or defoliation of some lower leaves of the soybean plants.
|
||
|
||
During the growing season, excessive periods of rainfall and cool, cloudy weather may cause temporary
|
||
soybean stunting. Soybeans rapidly outgrow stunting once favorable (sunny, warm temperatures)
|
||
conditions return.

BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITY
|
||
|
||
Afforia AFFORIA® has two modes of action and rapidly inhibits the growth of susceptible weed species.
|
||
Following application of a preplant or preemergence treatment, susceptible weeds may germinate and
|
||
emerge, but growth then ceases and leaves become yellow and/or brown by 3-5 days after emergence.
|
||
Death of leaf tissue and growing point will follow in some species while others will remain green but
|
||

|
||
|
||
M6G / Afforia / MSTR / Notif with edits / 03-06-23 Page 13
|
||
|
||
stunted and noncompetitive. Following a burndown application, growth of susceptible weeds ceases
|
||
followed by tissue yellowing and browning and death of the growing point. Afforia AFFORIA® provides
|
||
partial control of some annual grasses but other products may be needed to ensure adequate grass
|
||
control.

PRECAUTIONS
|
||
|
||
Crop injury may occur from applications made to poorly drained soils under cool, wet conditions.
|
||
|
||
Excessive rainfall received in a short period of time following the emergence of soybeans treated with a
|
||
preplant or preemergence application of Afforia AFFORIA® herbicide may cause minor leaf burn,
|
||
crinkling, or defoliation of some lower leaves of the soybean plants.
|
||
|
||
Excessive periods of rainfall and cool, cloudy weather may cause temporary soybean stunting.
|
||
|
||
Seedling disease, nematodes, cold weather, deep planting (more than 2”), excessive moisture, high salt
|
||
concentration, or drought may weaken soybean seedlings and increase possibility of crop injury.
|
||
|
||
Calibrate sprayers only with clean water away from the well site. Make scheduled checks of spray
|
||
equipment. Ensure that all operation employees accurately measure pesticides. Mix only enough product
|
||
for the job at hand. and avoid overfilling of spray tank.
|
||
|
||
When triple-rinsing the pesticide container, be sure to add the rinsate to the spray mix.
|
||
|
||
Thoroughly clean Afforia AFFORIA® from application equipment immediately after use and prior to
|
||
spraying crops. Failure to remove even small amounts of Afforia AFFORIA® from application equipment
|
||
may result in injury to subsequently sprayed crops.
|
||
|
||
Tank mixtures of Afforia AFFORIA® plus organophosphate insecticides applied preplant or
|
||
preemergence to BOLT®, STS® (sulfonylurea-tolerant soybeans), or STS/glyphosate-resistant soybean
|
||
varieties may result in minor transient crop response (i.e. stunting and/or chlorosis).
|
||
|
||
Prevent drift of spray to desirable plants.
|
||
|
||
Keep from contact with fertilizers, insecticides, fungicides and seeds during storage. Avoid storage of
|
||
pesticides near well sites.
|
||
|
||
WEED RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT
|
||
|
||
Afforia AFFORIA®, which contains the active ingredients thifensulfuron methyl, tribenuron methyl and
|
||
flumioxazin, is both a Group 2 and a Group 14 herbicide based on the mode of action classification
|
||
system of the Weed Science Society of America.
|
||
|
||
Proactively implementing diversified weed control strategies to minimize selection for weed populations
|
||
resistant to one or more herbicides is a best practice. A diversified weed management program may

|
||
|
||
M6G / Afforia / MSTR / Notif with edits / 03-06-23 Page 15
|
||
|
||
include the use of multiple herbicides with different sites of action and overlapping weed spectrum with or
|
||
without tillage operations and/or other cultural practices. Research has demonstrated that using the
|
||
labeled rate and directions for use is important to delay the selection for resistance.
|
||
|
||
The continued effectiveness of this product depends on the successful implementation of a weed
|
||
resistance management program.
|
||
|
||
To aid in the prevention of developing weeds resistant to this product, users should:
|
||
x Scout fields before application to ensure herbicides and rates will be appropriate for the weed species
|
||
and weed sizes present.
|
||
x Start with a clean field, using either a burndown herbicide application or tillage.
|
||
x Control weeds early when they are relatively small (less than 4 inches).
|
||
x Apply full rates of
|
||
Afforia AFFORIA® herbicide for the most difficult to control weed in the field at the
|
||
specified time (correct weed size) to minimize weed escapes.
|
||
x Scout fields after application to detect weed escapes or shifts in control of weed species.
|
||
x Control weed escapes before they reproduce by seed or proliferate vegetatively.
|
||
x Report any incidence of non-performance of this product against a particular weed to your Corteva
|
||
AgriscienceDuPont representative, local retailer, or county extension agent.
|
||
x Contact your DuPont company representative, crop advisor, or extension agent to find out if
|
||
suspected resistant weeds to this MOA have been found in your region. If resistant biotypes of target
|
||
weeds have been reported, use the application rates of this product specified for your local
|
||
conditions. Tank mix products so that there are multiple effective sites of actions for each target
|
||
weed.
|
||
x If resistance is suspected, treat weed escapes with an herbicide having a site of action other than
|
||
Group 2 or 14 and/or use nonchemical methods to remove escapes, as practical, with the goal of
|
||
preventing further seed production.
|
||
x Suspected herbicide-resistant weeds may be identified by these indicators:
|
||
x Failure to control a weed species normally controlled by the herbicide at the dose applied, especially
|
||
if control is achieved on adjacent weeds;
|
||
x A spreading patch of non-controlled plants of a particular weed species; and
|
||
x Surviving plants mixed with controlled individuals of the same species.
|
||
|
||
Additionally, users should follow as many of the following herbicide resistance management practices as
|
||
is practical:
|
||
x Use a broad spectrum soil-applied herbicide with other sites of action as a foundation in a weed
|
||
control program.
|
||
x Utilize sequential applications of herbicides with alternative sites of action.
|
||
x Rotate the use of this product with non-Group 2 or 14 herbicides.
|
||
x Avoid making more than two applications of
|
||
Afforia AFFORIA® herbicide and any other Group 2 or
|
||
14 herbicides within a single growing season unless mixed with an herbicide with a different site of
|
||
action with an overlapping spectrum for the difficult-to-control weeds.
|
||
x Incorporate non-chemical weed control practices, including mechanical cultivation, crop rotation,
|
||
cover crops and weed-free crop seeds, as part of an integrated weed control program.
|
||
x Use good agronomic principles that enhance crop development and crop competitiveness.
|
||
x Thoroughly clean plant residues from equipment before leaving fields suspected to contain resistant
|
||
weeds.
|
||
x Manage weeds in and around fields, during and after harvest to reduce weed seed production.
|
||

||
x DO NOT release spray at a height greater than 10 feet above the vegetative canopy, unless a
|
||
greater application height is necessary for pilot safety.
|
||
x For applications prior to the emergence of crops and target weeds, applicators are required to use
|
||
a Coarse or coarser droplet size (ASABE S572.1).
|
||
x For all other applications, applicators are required to use a Medium or coarser droplet size (ASABE

||
SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT ADVISORIES
|
||
|
||
THE APPLICATOR IS RESPONSIBLE FOR AVOIDING OFF-SITE SPRAY DRIFT.
|
||
|
||
BE AWARE OF NEARBY NON-TARGET SITES AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS.
|
||
|
||
IMPORTANCE OF DROPLET SIZE
|
||
An effective way to reduce spray drift is to apply large droplets. Use the largest droplets that provide
|
||
target pest control. While applying larger droplets will reduce spray drift, the potential for drift will be
|
||
greater if applications are made improperly or under unfavorable environmental conditions.
|
||
|
||
Controlling Droplet Size – Ground Boom
|
||
x Volume - Increasing the spray volume so that larger droplets are produced will reduce spray drift.
|
||
Use the highest practical spray volume for the application. If a greater spray volume is needed,
|
||
consider using a nozzle with a higher flow rate.
|
||
|
||
M6G / Afforia / MSTR / Notif with edits / 03-06-23 Page 17
|
||
|
||
x Pressure - Use the lowest spray pressure recommended for the nozzle to produce the target spray
|
||
volume and droplet size.
|
||
x Spray Nozzle - Use a spray nozzle that is designed for the intended application. Consider using
|
||
nozzles designed to reduce drift.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Controlling Droplet Size – Aircraft
|
||
x Adjust Nozzles - Follow nozzle manufacturers recommendations for setting up nozzles. Generally, to
|
||
reduce fine droplets, nozzles should be oriented parallel with the airflow in flight.
|
||
|
||
BOOM HEIGHT – Ground Boom
|
||
Use the lowest boom height that is compatible with the spray nozzles that will provide uniform coverage.
|
||
For ground equipment, the boom should remain level with the crop and have minimal bounce.
|
||
|
||
RELEASE HEIGHT – Aircraft
|
||
Higher release heights increase the potential for spray drift. When applying aerially to crops, DO NOT
|
||
release spray at a height greater than 10 ft above the crop canopy, unless a greater application height is
|
||
necessary for pilot safety.
|
||
|
||
Boom-less Ground Applications:
|
||
x Setting nozzles at the lowest effective height will help to reduce the potential for spray drift.
|
||
|
||
Handheld Technology Applications:
|
||
x Take precautions to minimize spray drift.
|
||
|
||
SHIELDED SPRAYERS
|
||
Shielding the boom or individual nozzles can reduce spray drift. Consider using shielded sprayers. Verify
|
||
that the shields are not interfering with the uniform deposition of the spray on the target area.
|
||
|
||
TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY
|
||
When making applications in hot and dry conditions, use larger droplets to reduce effects of evaporation.
|
||
|
||
TEMPERATURE INVERSIONS
|
||
Drift potential is high during a temperature inversion. Temperature inversions are characterized by
|
||
increasing temperature with altitude and are common on nights with limited cloud cover and light to no
|
||
wind. The presence of an inversion can be indicated by ground fog or by the movement of smoke from a
|
||
ground source or an aircraft smoke generator. Smoke that layers and moves laterally in a concentrated
|
||
cloud (under low wind conditions) indicates an inversion, while smoke that moves upward and rapidly
|
||
dissipates indicates good vertical air mixing. Avoid applications during temperature inversions.
|
||
|
||
WIND
|
||
Drift potential generally increases with wind speed. AVOID APPLICATIONS DURING GUSTY WIND
|
||
CONDITIONS.
|
||
x Applicators need to be familiar with local wind patterns and terrain that could affect spray
|
||
drift.
|
||
|
||
DRIFT CONTROL ADDITIVES
|
||
Using product compatible drift control additives can reduce drift potential. When a drift control additive is
|
||
used, read and carefully observe cautionary statements and all other information on the additive’s label. If
|
||
using an additive that increases viscosity, ensure that the nozzles and other application equipment will
|
||
function properly with a viscous spray solution. Preferred drift control additives have been certified by the
|
||
Council of Producers & Distributors of Agrotechnology (CPDA).

|
||
targeted weeds. On all soybean varieties, Afforia AFFORIA® can be used in a planned sequential
|
||
application herbicide program including AfforiaAFFORIA® followed by an in-crop application of
|
||
SYNCHRONY® XP (chlorimuron-ethyl + thifensulfuron-methyl) with appropriate tank mix partners. To
|
||
ensure maximal rotational flexibility when considering a sequential program of AfforiaAFFORIA® followed
|
||
by other herbicides containing chlorimuron ethyl, including SYNCHRONY ® XP, carefully consider the soil
|
||
pH and the crop rotation.
|
||
|
||
For glyphosate-resistant soybeans, AfforiaAFFORIA® can be followed by an in-crop application of a
|
||
glyphosate product registered for this type of application, including ABUNDIT® Edge or Durango®
|
||
DMA®, with appropriate tank mix partners and adjuvant products.
|
||
|
||
For glufosinate-resistant soybeans, AfforiaAFFORIA® can be followed by an in-crop application of a
|
||
glufosinate product registered for this type of application with appropriate tank mix partners and adjuvant
|
||

|
||
|
||
Tank mixtures of AfforiaAFFORIA® plus organophosphate insecticides applied preplant or preemergence
|
||
to BOLT®, STS® (sulfonylurea-tolerant soybeans) or STS®/glyphosate-resistant soybean varieties may
|
||
result in minor transient crop response (i.e. stunting and/or chlorosis). DO NOT apply AfforiaAFFORIA®
|
||
within 14 days before or after an application of an organophosphate insecticide on any soybean variety
|
||
that is not BOLT®, STS® or STS®/RR, as severe crop injury may occur.
|
||
|
||
DO NOT tank mix AfforiaAFFORIA® herbicide with acetochlor, flufenacet, metolachlor/s-metolachlor or
|
||
dimethenamid within 14 days of planting soybeans, unless soybeans are planted under no-till or minimum
|
||
tillage conditions on wheat stubble or no-till field corn stubble.
|
||
|
||
DIRECTIONS FOR USE IN FALLOW LAND
|
||
|
||
AfforiaAFFORIA® may be used as a preemergence fallow treatment. AfforiaAFFORIA® can be used in
|
||
the fall to provide residual weed control in fallow fields. (Refer to Rotational Restrictions table for rates
|
||
and rotational intervals prior to planting). If weeds have emerged at the time of application, use
|
||
AfforiaAFFORIA® in combination with a labeled fallow herbicide.
|
||
|
||
Abnormally warm or wet winters will reduce the length of weed control observed in the spring.
|
||
|
||
AfforiaAFFORIA® may be used in the spring in combination with labeled burndown herbicides to control
|
||
emerged weeds and provide residual weed control.
|

|
||
Crop rotation intervals are based on crops grown under favorable growing conditions. Crops grown under
|
||
unfavorable environmental conditions, including drought, nutrient deficiency, high salts, disease and
|

|
||
2. Partially fill the tank with water and add one of the cleaning agents listed in the SPRAYER CLEANUP
|
||
section of this label. Complete filling the tank and flush the cleaning solution through the boom and
|
||

||
EQUIPMENT/ SPRAY VOLUMES
|
||
|
||
Ground Application, conventional tillage:
|
||
|
||
Use a minimum of 10 gallons per acre to ensure uniform coverage of soil and the best performance. For
|
||
best performance, select nozzle and pressure combinations that deliver coarse to very coarse spray
|
||
droplets, as indicated, for example, by ASABE standard S-572.1.
|
||
|
||
Ground Application, conservation tillage- burndown:
|
||
|
||
Use a minimum of 15 gallons per acre to ensure thorough coverage of the weeds and the best
|
||
performance. For small weeds and/or heavy crop residue, increase the gallonage to ensure coverage.
|
||
For best performance, select nozzle and pressure combinations that deliver medium spray droplets, as
|
||
indicated, for example, by ASABE standard S-572.1.
|
||
|
||
Aerial Application:
|
||
|
||
AfforiaAFFORIA® may be applied by air for early preplant use on soybeans. Apply uniformly with properly
|
||
calibrated aerial equipment. Use nozzle types and arrangements that will provide optimum spray
|
||
distribution and maximum coverage at a minimum of 5 GPA. Avoid overlapping. Continuous agitation of
|
||
the spray tank is required to keep the material in suspension.
|
||
|
||
DO NOT apply during a temperature inversion, when winds are gusty, or when other conditions could
|
||
produce poor coverage and/or off-target spray movement.
|
||
|
||
Also refer to SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT section.
|
||
|
||
TANK MIX COMPATIBILITY TESTING
|
||
|
||
Perform a jar test prior to tank mixing to ensure compatibility of AfforiaAFFORIA® and other pesticides.
|
||
Use a clear glass quart jar with lid and mix the tank mix ingredients in their relative proportions. Invert the
|
||
jar containing the mixture several times and observe the mixture for approximately 1/2 hour. If the mixture
|
||
balls-up, forms flakes, sludges, gels, oily film or layers, or other precipitates, it is not compatible.
|
||
|
||
MIXING INSTRUCTIONS
|
||
|
||
Fill tank 1/4 full with water. Start agitation system, add AfforiaAFFORIA® and continue adding water. Add
|
||
separately each additional component of any tank mix while adding water. Continue agitation throughout.
|
||
If poor mixing occurs with any component, premix the component with two parts water before adding to
|
||
the spray tank.
|
||
|
||
A fertilizer solution may be used in the spray mixture. Test small quantities for compatibility by the
|
||
following procedures before full-scale mixing.
|
||
|
||
1. Put 1 pint of fertilizer solution in a quart jar.
|
||
2. Mix 2 teaspoons
|
||
AfforiaAFFORIA® with 2 tablespoons of water; mix thoroughly and add to fertilizer
|
||
solution.
|
||
3. Close jar and shake well.
|
||
4. If other herbicides are to be used in the mixture, premix 2 teaspoons of wettable powder or 1
|
||
teaspoon of liquid with 2 tablespoons of water; add to
|
||
Afforia AFFORIA®/fertilizer solution mixture.
|
||
5. Close jar and shake well.
|
||
6. Watch mixture for several seconds; check again in 30 minutes.
|
||
7. If mixture does not separate, foam, gel, or become lumpy, it may be used.
|
||
8. Mixing ability may be improved by adding compatibility agents.
|
||
|
||
M6G / Afforia / MSTR / Notif with edits / 03-06-23 Page 24
|
||
|
||
Provided the above procedure shows the mixture to be compatible, prepare the tank mixture as follows:
|
||
Add the fertilizer solution to the spray tank first, with the agitator running, add the required amount of
|
||
AfforiaAFFORIA® and thoroughly mix. For tank mixtures with other herbicides, follow directions above.
|
||
For tank mixtures with other herbicides, all applicable directions, restrictions and precautions for the
|
||
additional herbicides are also to be followed.
|
||
|
||
Use AfforiaAFFORIA® spray preparations the same day as mixed or product degradation may occur.
|
||
Thoroughly reagitate and remix before using, if allowed to settle. When tank mixing with other herbicides,
|
||
all applicable directions, restrictions and precautions for the additional herbicides are also to be followed.
|
||
|
||
SPRAYER CLEANUP
|
||
To avoid subsequent injury to desirable crops, thoroughly clean all mixing and spray equipment
|
||
immediately following applications of AfforiaAFFORIA® as follows:
|
||
|
||
Spray equipment, including mixing vessels and nurse tanks, must be cleaned each day following
|
||
AfforiaAFFORIA® application. After AfforiaAFFORIA® is applied, use the following steps to clean the
|
||
spray equipment:
|
||
|
||
1. Drain the tank and thoroughly hose down the interior surfaces. Flush tank, boom, and hoses with
|
||
clean water for a minimum of 5 minutes.
|
||
2. Partially fill the tank with clean water and add one gallon of household ammonia* (containing 3%
|
||
active) for every 100 gallons of water. Complete filling the tank with water, then flush the cleaning
|
||
solution through the boom, hoses, and nozzles. Add more water to completely fill the tank and allow
|
||
to agitate or recirculate for at least 15 minutes. Again, flush the boom, hoses and nozzles, and drain
|
||
the tank.
|
||
3. Remove the nozzles, screens and the end caps of sprayer booms and clean separately in a bucket
|
||
containing water and the cleaning agent.
|
||
4. Repeat Step 2.
|
||
5. Thoroughly rinse the tank with clean water for a minimum of 5 minutes, flushing water through the
|
||
boom and hoses.
|
||
6. To enhance removal of flumioxazin from the spray system before spraying susceptible crops, follow
|
||
the above clean-out steps with ammonia, then add a tank cleaner including “Valent Tank Cleaner”
|
||
from Valent U.S.A. Corporation, and allow the cleaning solution to remain in the pressurized spray
|
||
system (spray tank, hoses and boom) overnight before flushing the system for a minimum of 15
|
||
minutes. If using "Valent Tank Cleaner" follow use instructions and personal protective equipment
|
||
(PPE) instructions as found on the "Valent Tank Cleaner" label.
|
||
|
||
*Equivalent amounts of an alternate strength ammonia solution or a tank cleaner advised in separately
|
||
published bulletins may be used.
