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).

|
||
Environmental Hazards
|
||
Alachlor can contaminate surface water through spray drift. Under some
|
||
conditions, alachlor may also have a high potential for runoff into surface
|
||
water (primarily via dissolution in runoff water), for several weeks post
|
||
application. These include poorly draining or wet soils with readily visible
|
||
slopes toward adjacent surface waters, frequently flooded areas, areas OVer
|
||
laying 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 over-laying tile drainage systems that
|
||
drain to surface water.
|
||
This chemical and/or its metabolites are known to leach through soil into
|
||
ground water under certain conditions as a result of registered uses. Use of
|
||
this chemical in areas where soils are permeable, particularly where the water
|
||
table is shallow, may result in groundwater contamination.
|
||
Do not apply to highly permeable soils (as classified by the USDA Natural
|
||
Resources Conservation Service) where the depth to groundwater is 30 feet or
|
||
less.
|
||
This pesticide is extremely toxic to freshwater, marine, and estuarine fish;
|
||
and aquatic invertebrates including shrimp and oyster; and is toxic to
|
||
terrestrial and aquatic plants and fish. Do not apply in a manner which will
|
||
directly expose canals, lakes, streams, ponds, marshes or estuaries to aerial
|
||
drift. Do not contaminate water when disposing of equipment washwaters. Do
|
||
not apply directly to water, to areas where surface water is present or to
|
||
intertidal areas below the mean high water mark. Runoff may be hazardous to
|
||
aquatic organisms in neighboring areas.
|
||
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.
|
||
Disposal of eXCesS pesticide, spray mixtures, or rinsate should be according
|
||
to label use instructions or according to the state pesticide or environmental
|
||
control agency or the hazardous waste representative at the nearest EPA
|
||
regional office.

Mixing Instructions
|
||
Always predetermine the compatibility of this product or labeled tank mixtures
|
||
of this product with water carrier or sprayable fluid fertilizer carrier by
|
||
mixing small proportional quantities in advance. See the "STANDARD SPRAYABLE
|
||
FLUID FERTILIZER COMPATIBILITY TEST" section in this label to determine the
|
||
compatibility of this product and the labeled tank mixtures recommended for
|
||
use with sprayable fluid fertilizer carrier.
|
||
Mix this product or labeled tank mixture of this product with the appropriate
|
||
carrier as follows:
|
||
1. Place a 20 to 35 mesh screen or wetting basket over filling port.
|
||
2. Through the screen, fill the sprayer tank one-half full with the
|
||
appropriate carrier.
|
||
3. If a compatibility agent is necessary to improve mixing, or to prevent
|
||
the formation of undesirable and unsprayable gels or precipitates, while
|
||
agitating, add it to the carrier already in the tank. Use only
|
||
compatibility agents cleared by FDA for this use. Read and follow all
|
||
directions for use, precautionary statements and all other information
|
||
appearing on the selected compatibility agent label. Check for adequate
|
||
agitation.
|
||
4. If a wettable powder or dry flmo/able formulation is used, make a slurry
|
||
with water and add it slowly through the screen into the tank. Continue
|
||
agitation.
|
||
5. If a flowable formulation is used, add slowly through the screen into the
|
||
tank. Mixing and compatibility may be improved when flowable is premixed
|
||
one part flowable with one part water and added to the tank in diluted
|
||
form.
|
||
6. Add Freedom herbicide slowly through the screen into the tank. Mixing and
|
||
compatibility may be improved when this product is prediluted with two
|
||
parts of water and added to the tank in diluted form.
|
||
7. Complete filling the sprayer tank with carrier. If Roundup® herbicide or
|
||
Gramoxone m Extra is used, add the required amount near the end of the
|
||
filling process. Remove hose from tank immediately after filling to
|
||
avoid siphoning back into the carrier source.
|
||
Maintain good agitation at all times until the contents of the tank are
|
||
sprayed. NOTE: If spray mixture is allowed to settle at any time, thorough
|
||
agitation is required to resuspend the mixture before spraying is resumed.
|
||
Keep by-pass line on or near bottom of tank to minimize foaming. Screen size
|
||
in nozzle or line strainers should be no finer than 50 mesh. Carefully select
|
||
the correct nozzle to avoid spraying a fine mist. Check for even distribution
|
||

|
||
Certain tank mixtures of Freedom and broadleaf herbicides may be combined with
|
||
applications of Roundup herbicide or Gramoxone Extra for control of many

ST~ SPRAYABLB FLUID
|
||
FBRTILIZBR COMPATIBILITY TBST
|
||
Herbicides may not always mix evenly throughout a sprayable fluid fertilizer
|
||
or the components may separate too quickly to make their combined use of
|
||
practical value. This may be due to certain characteristics of the different
|
||
fluid fertilizers. A simple test using small quantities of the components is
|
||
suggested to determine compatibility potential.
|
||
The test follows:
|
||
A. Materials Required For A Compatibility Test
|
||
1. Two one-quart jars with lid or stopper (marked 'with' and 'without").
|
||
2. TEAspoon (for a more exacting test, a five to ten milliliter (ml) pipette
|
||
or graduated cylinder is desirable) .
|
||
3. Sprayable fluid fertilizer to be tested.
|
||
4. The herbicides to be mixed.
|
||
5. A compatibility agent (the purpose of the adjuvant is to help keep the
|
||
fertilizer and crop protection chemical in suspension, if this assistance
|
||
is needed) .
|
||
B. Procedure
|
||
1. Add one pint of the sprayable fluid fertilizer that will be used or other
|
||
herbicide carrier to each jar marked ~withW and ·without w •
|
||
Add One Pint Liquid Fertilizer
|
||
To Two Quart Jars
|
||

|
||
2. To the jar marked "with", add 1/4 TEAspoon or 1.2 milliliters of a
|
||
suitable compatibility agent, shake gently for five to ten seconds to mix
|
||
(1/4 TEAspoon in one pint is the equivalent of two pints per 100 gallons
|
||
of liquid fertilizer) .

The compatibility test is designed for 25 gallons of spray per acre. For
|
||
changes in spray volume or herbicide rate, make appropriate changes in the
|
||
ingredients of the test. Regardless of spray volume, the amount of
|
||
compatibility agent should be equal to two or three pints (two pints = 1/4
|
||
TEAspoon or 1.2 milliliters, three pints = 3/8 TEAspoon or 1.8 milliliters per
|
||
pint of sprayable fluid fertilizer) peI 100 gallons of liquid fertilizer.
|
||
C. Observations and Decisions
|
||
1. If the herbicide(s) and the sprayable fluid fertilizer are compatible.
|
||
2. If a compatibility agent is necessary.
|
||
Five minutes after the final addition and mixing, observe both jars for the
|
||
formation of large flakes, sludge, gels or other precipitates. Observe if the
|
||
herbicide(s) cannot be physically mixed with the liquid fertilizer but remains
|
||
as small oily particles in the solution.
|
||
If incompatibility in any form described above occurs in the jar "with" the
|
||
compatibility agent added, the liquid fertilizer and the herbicide(s) should
|
||
not be used together in the same spray tank.
|
||
If incompatibility as described above occurs in the jar "without" the adjuvant
|
||
but not in the jar "with" adjuvant, the use of a compatibility adjuvant is
|
||
recommended.
|
||
Both jars should be allowed to stand and be observed periodically for one-half
|
||
hour. If the separate layers of liquid fertilizer and additives can be
|
||
resuspended by shaking, commercial application is possible. An emulsifiable

|
||
concentrate normally will go to the top after standing, wettable powders will
|
||
either settle to the bottom of the tank or jar, or float to the top, depending
|
||
upon the density of the fertilizers.
|
||
If the herbicide(s) is compatible with fluid fertilizer in the foregoing test
|
||
without using a compatibility agent, fluid fertilizer may be used for
|
||
premixing. If it is not compatible without the compatibility agent, the
|
||
herbicide(s) should be premixed with water before adding to the spray tank.

preceding table, use the following formula:
|
||
Recommended herbicide rate
|
||
(pounds or quarts/acre x 2000
|
||
pounds fertilizer/acre
|
||
=
|
||
pounds or
|
||
quarts of herbicide
|
||
per ton of dry
|
||
bulk fertilizer
|
||
With In-plant systems, mix and blend the dry fertilizer and herbicide mixture
|
||
in a closed rotary drum-type mixer, allowing sufficient time to ensure uniform
|
||
coverage. Use at least one ton of dry fertilizer per mixing operation. Inject
|
||
the herbicide into the drum over a minimum of a 2-minute period and allow at
|
||
least 2 additional minutes mixing time to ensure uniformity. The nozzle used
|
||
to spray the herbicide treatment must be placed inside the mixer to provide
|
||
uniform spray coverage of the tumbling fertilizer.
|
||
If the dry fertilizer used has inadequate absorptive capacity, a highly
|
||
absorptive material such as Agsorb~, MP-79~, or Microcel m can be added to
|
||
provide a free-flowing mixture. Contact Monsanto Company for specific
|
||
guidelines with regard to the sequence of addition for the various components
|

||
Freedom 1998-1 Edit & FAIAB 073003 08/14/2003
|
||
|
||
and the amount of drying agent to add to provide a free-flowing mixture. The
|
||
absorptive material and dry fertilizer should be thoroughly mixed prior to
|
||
adding liquid herbicide. Generally the drying material weight is no more than
|
||
2 to 4 percent of the total weight of the dry fertilizer. The following dry
|
||
fertilizers may be impregnated with this product or tank mixtures of this
|
||
product with Sencor 4: ammonium sulfate, ammonium phosphate-sulfate,
|
||
diarnrnonium phosphate, potassium chloride, single super-phosphate, treble
|
||
super-phosphate and urea.
|
||
NOTE: DO NOT impregnate this product or tank mixtures of this product with
|
||
other herbicides on fertilizers containing ammonium nitrate, potassium nitrate
|
||
or sodium nitrate.
|
||
Spread the dry fertilizer-herbicide mixture uniformly with an adequately
|
||
calibrated dribble, pneumatic (air flow) or spin applicator. When using spin
|
||
applicators, the herbicide-dry fertilizer mixture must be spread uniformly.
|
||
Nonuniform spreading of the dry fertilizer-herbicide mixture may result in
|
||
unsatisfactory weed control or crop injury.
|
||
APPLICATION TIMING AND METHODS
|
||
Preplant Incorporation-This product and the labeled tank mixtures may be mixed
|
||
into the soil using shallow incorporation equipment any time within 14 days
|
||
prior to planting. Apply the recommended treatment rate to the soil surface as
|
||
a broadcast application and shallowly incorporate into the upper 2 inches of
|
||
soil within 24 hours after application. If weeds emerge after treatment,
|
||
rotary hoe or shallowly cultivate immediately to improve performance.
|
||
l-Pass Incorporation (Surface Blend): Shallowly incorporate (Surface Blend)
|
||
the treatment into the upper 1 to 2 inches of the soil. Equipment should be
|
||
operated at manufacturer's designated speed for incorporation to ensure
|
||
adequate mixing and distribution of the herbicide treatment in the soil.
|
||
Equipment design, including any drag attachments, must be adequate to avoid
|
||
soil ridging which may result in streaked or reduced weed control. Soil
|
||
conditions, including moisture content and crop residue levels, must be
|
||
suitable to allow thorou~h and unifol~ mixing with the equipment used for 1-
|
||
pass incorporation.
|
||
Contact Monsanto Company for additional information regarding recommended
|
||
equipment and methods for Surface Blend application.
|
||
2-Pa.8 Incorporation: When 2-pass incorporation is used, shallowly incorporate
|
||
the herbicide treatment into the upper 1 to 2 inches of the soil with
|
||
equipment set to work the soil NO DEEPER THAN 4 INCHES. The second pass must
|
||
be made at an angle and no deeper than the first pass to ensure uniform
|
||
distribution of the herbicide treatment in the soil.
|
||
Preemergence Surface Application-This product and all labeled tank mixtures
|
||
except Freedom plus Command~4EC, may be applied to the soil surface after
|
||
planting and prior to either crop or weed emergence. Apply within 5 days of
|
||
last preplant tillage. If weeds emerge after treatment, or if treatment is
|
||
applied more than 5 days after last preplant tillage, rotary hoe or shallowly
|
||
cultivate immediately to improve performance. Precipitation or overhead
|
||
sprinkler irrigation is required after application to move the herbicide
|
||
treatment into the weed germination zone. The amount of precipitation or
|
||
overhead sprinkler irrigation required depends on existing soil moisture, soil
|
||
type and percent organic matter content, but 1/3 to 3/4 inch is normally
|
||
adequate. Performance is improved when moisture is received within 7 days
|
||
after application and prior to weed emergence. High intensity or excessive
|
||
rainfall or excessive irrigation after application may reduce control.
|
||
15
|
||
Freedom 1998-1 Edit & FAIAB 073003 08/14/2003
|
||
|
||
CUltivation Xnformation-Delay cultivation after application for as long as
|
||
possible unless weeds or grasses emerge. Shallowly cultivate or rotary hoe
|
||
immediately if weeds or grasses emerge. If cultivation is necessary because of
|
||
soil crusting or compaction, set equipment shallow and minimize lateral soil
|
||
movement to avoid dilution or displacement of the herbicide treatment.
|
||
WEEDS CONTROLLED
|
||
Applicators should evaluate soil and weed conditions carefully to ensure that
|
||
they choose the lowest effective label rate. When applied as directed under
|
||
conditions described, this product and tank mixtures of this product will
|
||
control or reduce competition from the weeds listed.

ROUNDUP
|
||
Annual Weeds-Apply 1 to 2 pints of Roundup per acre in these tank mixtures
|
||
when weeds are less than 6 inches tall. Use 2 pints of Roundup per acre for
|
||
control of fall panicum, barnyardgrass, crabgrass and shattercane up to 2
|
||
inches tall; Pennsylvania smartweed up to 6 inches tall; 3 pints on other
|
||
annual weeds 6 to 12 inches tall. For emerged annual weeds controlled, see the
|
||
'WEEDS CONTROLLED" section of the label for Roundup.
|
||
Perennial Weeds-At normal application dates in minimum tillage systems,
|
||
perennial weeds may not be at the proper stage of growth for control. See the
|
||
"GENERAL INFORMATION" section of the label for Roundup for the proper stage
|
||
of growth for perennial weeds. Use of 2 to 4 quarts of Roundup per acre in
|
||
this tank mixture under these conditions provides top kill and reduces
|
||
competition from many emerged perennial grasses and broadleaf weeds. For
|
||
perennial weeds controlled, see the "WEEDS CONTROLLED" section of the label
|
||
for Roundup.
|
||
To obtain control of perennial weeds, follow recommendations on the label for
|
||
Roundup for stage of growth and rate of application.
|
||
USE OF THIS TANK MIXTURE FOR BERMUDAGRASS OR JOHNSONGRASS CONTROL IS NOT
|
||
RECOMMENDED.
|
||
NOTE: When using these tank mixtures, do not exceed 4 quarts of Roundup
|
||
herbicide per acre.
|
||
Ammonium Sulfate-The addition of ammonium sulfate in the spray solution may
|
||
increase the performance of Roundup tank mixtures on emerged annual weeds
|
||
under adverse growing conditions. When using ammonium sulfate, add 2 percent
|
||
dry ammonium sulfate by weight or 17 pounds per 100 gallons of water. Ammonium
|
||
sulfate should be added to the water in the spray tank and completely
|
||
dissolved prior to adding the herbicide or surfactant. Do not mix ammonium
|
||
sulfate in fluid fertilizer solutions.
|
||
If ammonium sulfate is added directly to the spray tank, add slowly with
|
||
agitation. Adding too quickly may clog outlet lines. Nozzle tip plugging may
|
||
result from the use of low-quality ammonium sulfate. To determine quality,
|
||
perform a jar test by adding 1/3 cup of ammonium sulfate to 1 gallon of water
|
||

|
||
Freedom 1998-1 Edit & FAIAB 073003 08/14/2003

(
|
||
and agitate for one minute. If undissolved sediment is observed, predissolve
|
||
the ammonium sulfate in water and filter prior to adding to the spray tank.
|
||
Following use of ammonium sulfate, thoroughly rinse the spray system with
|
||
clean water to reduce corrosion.
|
||
Surfactants-Nonionic surfactants which are labeled for use with herbicides may
|
||
be used with Roundup. Do not reduce rates of Roundup when adding surfactant.
|
||
Use 0.5 percent surfactant concentrate (2 quarts per 100 gallons of spray
|
||
solution) when using surfactants which contain at least 50 percent active
|
||
ingredient or a 1 percent surfactant concentration (4 quarts per 100 gallons
|
||
of spray solution) for those surfactants containing less than 50 percent
|
||
active ingredient. Read and carefully observe surfactant cautionary statements
|
||
and other information appearing on the surfactant label.
|
||
GRAMOXONE BXTRA
|
||
When used as directed, Gramoxone Extra in tank-mixture with labeled Freedom
|
||
tank-mixtures controls many emerged annual weeds and suppresses many emerged
|
||
perennial weeds.
|
||
Broadcast Treatment--Apply 1.5 to 3 pints of Gramoxone Extra in this tank
|
||
mixture immediately before, during or after planting but BEFORE CROP
|
||
EMERGENCE. Use 1.5 to 2 pints when weeds are 1 to 3 inches tall, 2 to 2.5
|
||
pints when weeds are 3 to 6 inches tall and 2.5 to 3 pints when weeds are 6
|
||
inches tall. This mixture may not control weeds taller than 6 inches. As
|
||
density of stubble, crop residue or weeds increases, spray gallonage should be
|
||
increased within the recommended range for complete coverage. Add a nonionic
|
||
spreader surfactant (approved for use in crops) containing at least 75 percent
|
||
surface active agent at 8 fluid ounces per 100 gallons of diluted spray. REFER
