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).

Subject: Non-PRIA (Pesticide Registration Improvement Act) Labeling Amendment - Adding
|
||
applications to mustard seed
|

Admin Number: 7969-458
|
||
EPA Receipt Date: 11/19/2024

Action Case Number: 00638745
|
||
Dear Connie Butts:
|
||
The amended labeling referred to above, submitted in connection with registration under the Federal
|
||
Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act, as amended, is acceptable.
|
||
If, after formal consultation with the appropriate Service(s), additional modifications are identified in the
|
||
Service’s Biological Opinion(s) for clothianidin, EPA will notify BASF in writing consistent with the terms
|
||
in the Biological Opinion of any necessary required changes. BASF must submit an application for
|
||
amendment incorporating any required changes, including amended labels, consistent with the timeline
|
||
specified in EPA’s notification. If MGK fails to comply with this term, BASF has agreed in prior written
|
||
acceptance on February 28, 2025 of these terms that EPA may cancel the registration under an
|
||
expedited process under FIFRA 6(e).
|
||
|
||
This approval does not affect any terms or conditions that were previously imposed on this registration. You
|
||
continue to be subject to existing terms or conditions on your registration and any deadlines connected with
|
||
them.
|
||
|
||
A stamped copy of your labeling is enclosed for your records. This labeling supersedes all previously
|
||
accepted labeling. You must submit one (1) copy of the final printed labeling before you release this product
|
||
for shipment with the new labeling. In accordance with 40 CFR § 152.130(c), you may distribute or sell this
|
||
product under the previously approved labeling for 18 months from the date of this letter. After 18 months,
|
||
you may only distribute or sell this product if it bears this new revised labeling or subsequently approved
|
||
labeling. “To distribute or sell” is defined under FIFRA section 2(gg) and its implementing regulation at 40
|
||
CFR § 152.3.
|
||
|
||
Should you wish to add/retain a reference to your company’s website on your label, then please be aware
|
||
that the website becomes labeling under FIFRA and is subject to review by EPA. If the website is false or
|
||
misleading, the product will be considered to be misbranded and sale or distribution of the product is unlawful
|
||
under FIFRA section 12(a)(1)(E). 40 CFR § 156.10(a)(5) lists examples of statements the 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 EPA find or if it is brought to our attention that a website contains statements
|
||
|
||
or claims substantially differing from statements or claims made in connection with obtaining a FIFRA section
|
||
3 registration, the website will be referred to the EPA’s Office of Enforcement and Compliance Assurance.
|
||
Your release for shipment of this product constitutes acceptance of these terms. If these terms are not
|
||
complied with, this registration will be subject to cancellation in accordance with FIFRA section 6.
|
||
If you have questions, please contact Jasmin Jackson via email at jackson.jasmin@epa.gov.

||
Poncho 600
|
||
• To be used in liquid or slurry treaters . Mix thoroughly
|
||
before use or use entire container at one time . Pretest all
|
||
tank mixes to determine physical compatibility between
|
||
formulations . It is the pesticide user’s responsibility to
|
||
ensure that all products in the listed mixtures are regis -
|
||
tered for the intended use . Users must follow the most
|
||
restrictive directions and precautionary language of the
|
||
products in the mixture .
|
||
• Treatment of highly mechanically damaged seed, or seed
|
||
of known low vigor or poor quality, may result in reduced
|
||
germination and/or reduction of seed and seedling vigor .
|
||
Treat and conduct germination tests on a small portion
|
||
of seed before committing the total seed lot to a selected
|
||
chemical treatment . Due to seed quality conditions
|
||
beyond the control of BASF, no claims are made to guar-
|
||
antee germination of carryover seed .
|
||
• To reduce seed dust which can drift onto blooming
|
||
crops or weeds, ensure that planting equipment is func -
|
||
tioning properly in accordance with manufacturer’s
|
||
specifications . Surplus seed or empty seed containers
|
||
must be stored or disposed according to local federal
|
||
regulations .
|
||
• Treat at manufacturer’s specified rate .
|
||
Use Restrictions
|
||
• All seed treated with this product must be conspicuously
|
||
colored at the time of treatment . This product contains
|
||
no colorant . An EPA-approved dye or colorant must be
|
||
added when this product is applied to seed to distin-
|
||
guish and prevent subsequent inadvertent use as a food
|
||
for man or feed for animals . Regulations pertaining to
|
||
coloration of treated seed enforced by 40 CFR 153 .155
|
||
must be strictly adhered to when using this product .

populations .
|
||
• Hessian fly protection to wheat seedlings in the Fall season - Use 1 .79 fl ozs/100 lbs seed .
|
||
• For maximum effectiveness, treat seed uniformly . Use the higher rate to provide increased length of protection and
|
||
from heavy insect pressure and to reduce potential spread of barley yellow dwarf virus due to aphid vectors .
|
||
• Grasshopper feeding damage to seedling plants under low-to-moderate insect pressure will be reduced when
|
||
Poncho 600 is used . Treated seed may be planted as a 50-feet to 60-feet border around the edges of the crop field
|
||
as a barrier to grasshoppers advancing into the interior of the field .

Crop-specific Directions
|
||
• Wireworm seed protection - Use 0 .25 fl oz/100 lbs seed rate or higher, depending on field history and site
|
||
populations .
|
||
• Hessian fly protection to wheat seedlings in the Fall season - Use 1 .79 fl ozs/100 lbs seed .
|
||
• For maximum effectiveness, treat seed uniformly . Use the higher rate to provide increased length of protection and
|
||
from heavy insect pressure and to reduce potential spread of barley yellow dwarf virus due to aphid vectors .
|
||
• Grasshopper feeding damage to seedling plants under low-to-moderate insect pressure will be reduced when
|
||
Poncho® 600 is used . Treated seed may be planted as a 50-feet to 60-feet border around the edges of the crop
|
||
field as a barrier to grasshoppers advancing into the interior of the field .
|
||
Crop-specific Restrictions
|
||
• Regardless of application method (seed treatment, soil, or foliar), DO NOT apply more than 0 .2 lb active ingredient
|
||
clothianidin per acre per year .
|
||
• Poncho 600 is not to be followed by a spray treatment of another neonicotinoid insecticide . Follow approved guide-
|
||
lines established for insect resistance management by consulting your local extension pest management expert .

Crop-specific Directions
|
||
• Apply only in areas with adequate ventilation or in areas that are equipped to remove spray mist or dust .
|
||
• Apply specified dosage as a diluted spray onto seed pieces using a shielded spray system that is well contained and
|
||
will prevent the loss of any liquid .
|
||
• Agitate or stir spray solution as needed . For optimal insect control, good coverage of the seed pieces is required .
|
||
• As part of the seed cutting and treating process, treatment and/or an inert absorbent ingredient is recommended to
|
||
improve suberization .
|
||
• Plant seed pieces as soon as possible after cutting and treating .
|
||
• Consult local specialists, BASF representative or dealer for information relevant to your area .
|
||
• For extended residual control of pests other than wireworms, apply the higher rate .
|
||
Crop-specific Restrictions
|
||
• DO NOT enter or allow worker re-entry into treated areas during the restricted-entry interval of 12 hours .
|
||
• Regardless of formulation or type of application (seed treatment, soil, or foliar), DO NOT apply more than a total of
|
||
0 .2 lb active ingredient clothianidin per acre per year .
|
||
• DO NOT apply any subsequent application of a Group 4 insecticide (i .e ., infurrow or foliar application) following
|
||
treatment with Poncho® 600 insecticide .
|
||
• DO NOT dilute with any more than 6 parts water to 1 part Poncho 600 insecticide .
