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).

|
||
acceptable.
|
||
|
||
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 and is subject to review by the Agency. If the website is false or misleading, the

NOTE TO PHYSICIAN
|
||
To be effective, treatment for diquat poisoning must begin IMMEDIATELY. Treatment consists
|
||
of binding diquat in the gut with suspensions of activated charcoal or bentonite clay,
|
||
administration of cathartics to enhance elimination, and removal of diquat from the blood by
|
||
charcoal hemoperfusion or continuous hemodialysis.
|
||
If in eyes, treat symptomatically. Symptoms may develop gradually. Severe damage may be
|
||
caused by apparently trivial contact and healing may be delayed. Medical supervision should
|
||
be continued until healing is complete.
|
||
Have the product container or label with you when calling a poison control center or doctor or
|
||
going for treatment.

PPE Requirements for Agricultural Aquatic Use Applications
|
||
|
||
Handlers supporting applications to aquatic areas for the control of submersed weeds via
|
||
trailing or submersed hoses, during the time in which they are mixing and/or loading the
|
||
diquat-containing material, must wear:
|
||
x PPE required for all handlers

|
||
|
||
Alternatively, such mixers/loaders may use closed mixing/loading systems without the use of
|
||
a respirator. A closed system is one which removes the pesticide from its original container
|
||
and transfers the pesticide product through connecting hoses, pipes, and couplings that are
|
||
sufficiently tight to prevent exposure of handlers to the pesticide product, except for the
|
||
negligible escape associated with normal operation of the system (40 CFR 170.607(d)).
|
||
|
||
1) Mixer/loaders supporting applications to aquatic areas with mechanically-pressurized
|
||
handguns AND
|
||
2) Mixer/loader/applicators using mechanically-pressurized handguns to treat aquatic areas,
|
||
during mixing and loading operations ONLY, must wear:
|
||
|
||

|
||
P filter; OR
|
||
x A NIOSH-approved elastomeric particulate respirator with any N, R or P filter; OR
|
||
x A NIOSH-approved powered air purifying respirator with HE filters.
|
||
|
||
Alternatively, these aquatic handlers may use closed mixing/loading systems without the use
|
||
of a respirator.
|
||
|
||
|
||
User Safety Requirements
|
||
|
||
Discard clothing and other absorbent materials that have been drenched or heavily
|
||
contaminated with this product's concentrate. Do not reuse them. Follow manufacturer's
|
||
|
||
-5-
|
||
instructions for cleaning/maintaining PPE. If no such instructions for washables exist, use
|
||
detergent and hot water. Keep and wash PPE separately from other laundry.
|
||
|
||
Respirator fit testing, medical qualifications and training
|
||
|
||
Using a program that conforms to OSHA’s requirements (see 29 CFR Part 1910.134),
|
||
employers must verify that any handler who uses a respirator is:
|
||
x Fit-tested and fit-checked,
|
||
x Trained, and
|
||
x Examined by a qualified medical practitioner to ensure physical ability to safely wear the
|
||
style of respirator to be worn. A qualified medical practitioner is a physician or other
|
||
licensed health care professional who will evaluate the ability of a worker to wear a
|
||
respirator. The initial evaluation consists of a questionnaire that asks about medical
|
||
conditions (such as a heart condition) that would be problematic for respirator use. If
|
||
concerns are identified, then additional evaluations, such as a physical exam, might be
|
||
necessary. The initial evaluation must be done before respirator use begins. Handlers
|
||
must be reexamined by a qualified medical practitioner if their health status or respirator
|
||
style or use-conditions change.
|
||
|
||
Upon request by local/state/federal/tribal enforcement personnel, employers must provide
|
||
documentation demonstrating how they have complied with these requirements.
|
||
|
||
Engineering Controls
|
||
|
||
Mixer/loaders supporting all aerial applications must use closed mixing/loading systems that
|
||
meet the requirements listed in the WPS for agricultural pesticides [40 CFR 170.607(d)(2)(i)
|
||
&(ii)] for inhalation protection.
|
||
|
||
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. All labeling-specified PPE must be immediately available for use in an emergency. All
|
||
applicable requirements as specified in 40 CFR 170.240(d)(4-6) must be followed.
|
||
|
||
User Safety Recommendations
|
||
Users should:
|
||
x Wash hands before eating, drinking, chewing gum, using tobacco, or using the toilet.
|
||
x Remove clothing/PPE immediately if pesticide gets inside. Then wash thoroughly and
|
||
put on clean clothing.
|
||
x Remove PPE immediately after handling this product. Wash the outside of gloves
|
||
before removing. As soon as possible, wash thoroughly and change into clean clothing.

Environmental Hazards (Terrestrial and Aquatic Uses)
|
||
|
||
NON-TARGET ORGANISM ADVISORY: This product is toxic to plants and may adversely
|
||
impact the forage and habitat of non-target organisms, including pollinators, in areas adjacent to
|
||
the treated site. Protect the forage and habitat of non-target organisms by following label
|
||
directions intended to minimize spray drift.
|
||
|
||
-6-
|
||
This pesticide is toxic to aquatic invertebrates.
|
||
|
||
For Terrestrial Uses, do not apply directly to water, or to areas where surface water is present
|
||
or to intertidal areas below the mean high water mark.
|
||
|
||
Do not contaminate water when disposing of equipment washwaters or rinsate.
|
||
|
||
For Aquatic Uses, do not apply directly to water except as specified on this label. Waters
|
||
treated with this product may be hazardous to non-target aquatic organisms. Treatment of
|
||
aquatic weeds and algae can result in oxygen loss from decomposition of dead biomass. This
|
||
oxygen loss can cause fish and invertebrate suffocation. To minimize this hazard, do not use
|
||
products containing diquat dibromide to treat more than ½ of the water body (excluding water
|
||
infrastructure and constructed conveyances such as drainage canals, ditches and pipelines or
|
||
intakes and aqueducts for drinking water or irrigation use) to avoid depletion of oxygen due
|
||
to decaying vegetation. Wait at least 7 days between performing diquat dibromide applications
|
||
to adjacent treatment areas within the same waterbody. Begin treatment along the shore and
|
||
proceed outward in bands to allow fish to move into untreated areas. Consult with the state or
|
||
local agency with primary responsibility for regulating pesticides before applying this product to
|
||
public waters to determine if a permit is required.

PRODUCT INFORMATION
|
||
Reglone Desiccant is a nonvolatile herbicide for use as a preharvest aid to desiccate certain
|
||
crops in order to facilitate harvesting. Reglone Desiccant is also recommended for use as a
|
||
general herbicide to control weeds in noncrop areas, nonbearing crops and aquatic areas.
|
||
Reglone Desiccant is a contact-type herbicide and requires actively growing green plant tissue
|
||
to function. Thorough coverage of all green plant tissue is essential for effective control.
|
||
Reglone Desiccant is rapidly absorbed by green plant tissue and interacts with the
|
||
phytosynthetic process to produce compounds which destroy plant cells. Herbicidal activity is
|
||
usually quite rapid with effects visible in a few days.
|
||
AGRICULTURAL USE DIRECTIONS
|
||
APPLICATION
|
||
|
||
Since Reglone Desiccant is a contact-type herbicide, it is essential to obtain complete coverage
|
||
of the target weed or crop to achieve effective results. Improper application technique and/or
|
||
application to large, stressed, or mowed weeds will generally result in unacceptable control.
|
||
Complete coverage is also essential for effective performance in harvest aid applications. See
|
||
details below for additional information.
|
||
|
||
Nozzle Selection
|
||
|
||
Use nozzles and pressure that deliver medium or coarser droplet size as indicated in nozzle
|
||
manufacturers’ catalogs and in accordance with American Society of Agricultural & Biological
|
||
Engineers Standard 572.1 (ASABE S572.1).
|
||
|
||
Spray Volume
|
||
|
||
Follow specified minimum spray volumes listed for each use of Reglone Desiccant. These are
|
||
minimum volumes only, and spray volumes should be increased as necessary to obtain
|
||
|
||
-9-
|
||
complete coverage of the target weed or plant without runoff from the foliage. When spraying
|
||
less than 20 gal of spray carrier per acre, target weeds should not exceed 6 inches in height.
|
||
SPRAY ADJUVANTS
|
||
|
||
Always Add One of the Following:
|
||
|
||
Nonionic Surfactant (NIS)
|
||
Add a NIS containing 75% or greater surface active agent at 0.06–0.5% v/v (1/2–4 pt per 100
|
||
gal) of the finished spray volume.
|
||
|
||
Other Adjuvants
|
||
Adjuvants other than NIS may be used providing the product meets the following criteria:
|
||
|
||
x Contains only EPA exempt ingredients.
|
||
x Is compatible in mixture. Compatibility may be established through a jar test.
|
||
x Is supported locally for use with Reglone Desiccant through proven field trials and
|
||
through university and extension recommendations.
|
||
|
||
When an adjuvant is to be used with this product, the use of an adjuvant that meets the
|
||
standards of the Chemical Producers and Distributors Association (CPDA) adjuvant certification
|
||
program is recommended.
|
||
|
||
RATES
|
||
|
||
Follow specified rates listed with each use of Reglone Desiccant. Use the higher label rates
|
||
when weeds are large or dense. Also, use higher labeled rates for harvest aid when crop
|
||
vegetation is dense.
|
||
|
||
APPLICATION TIMING
|
||
|
||
Reglone Desiccant should be applied to emerged weeds when they are small. Weeds 1
|
||
inch to 6 inches in height are the easiest to control. When weeds have been grazed or
|
||
mowed, thus removing much of the green foliage, allow the weeds to regrow to a height of 2–4
|
||
inches before spraying. For proper application timing of harvest aid applications, refer to each
|
||
crop for recommendations.
|
||
|
||
Weeds emerging after application of Reglone Desiccant will not be controlled or suppressed.
|
||
|
||
RAINFASTNESS
|
||
|
||
Because Reglone Desiccant is rapidly absorbed by green plant tissue, rain occurring 30 minutes
|
||
after application will have no effect on the activity of Reglone Desiccant.
|
||
|
||
ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
|
||
|
||
Reglone Desiccant is active over a wide range of environmental conditions. Cool weather
|
||
(below 55qF) will slow the activity of Reglone Desiccant, as will cloudy, overcast weather, but
|
||
will not affect performance.
|
||
|
||
-10-
|
||
In dry areas, dust stirred up by high winds or equipment tires can coat target surface and reduce
|
||
Reglone Desiccant activity. Avoid applying Reglone Desiccant in extremely dusty conditions.
|
||
|
||
SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT
|
||
|
||
AVOIDING SPRAY DRIFT AT THE APPLICATION SITE IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE
|
||
APPLICATOR AND THE GROWER.
|
||
|
||
WHERE STATES HAVE MORE STRINGENT REGULATIONS, THEY SHOULD BE
|
||
OBSERVED.
|
||
|
||
MANDATORY SPRAY DRIFT RESTRICTIONS
|
||
|
||
Aerial Applications:
|
||
x Do not release at a height greater than 10 ft above the ground, vegetative canopy, or water
|
||
surface unless a greater application height is necessary for pilot safety
|
||
x Applicators are required to use medium or coarser droplet size (ASABE S572.1).
|
||
x Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 15 mph at the application site. If the windspeed is
|
||
greater than 10 mph, the boom length must be 65% or less of the wingspan for fixed wing
|
||
aircraft and 75% or less of the rotor diameter for helicopters. Otherwise, the boom length
|
||
must be 75% or less of the wingspan for fixed-wing aircraft and 90% or less of the rotor
|
||
diameter for helicopters.
|
||
x If the windspeed is 10 mph or less, applicators must use ½ swath displacement upwind at
|
||
the downwind edge of the target area. When the windspeed is between 11-15 miles per
|
||
hour, applications must use ¾ swath displacement upwind at the downing edge of the target
|
||
area.
|
||
x Do not apply during temperature inversions.
|
||
|
||
Groundboom Applications:
|
||
x Users must only apply with the release height recommended by the manufacturer, but no
|
||
more than 4 feet above the ground or vegetative canopy.
|
||
x Applicators are required to use medium or coarser droplet size (ASABE S572.1).
|
||
x Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 15 mph at the application site.
|
||
x Do not apply during temperature inversions.
|
||
|
||
Boomless Ground Applications:
|
||
x Applicators are required to use medium or coarser droplet size (ASABE S572.1).
|
||
x Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 15 mph at the application site.
|
||
x Do not apply during temperature inversions.
|
||
|
||
|
||
SPRAY DRIFT ADVISORIES
|
||
|
||
THE APPLICATOR IS RESPONSIBLE FOR AVOIDING OFF-SITE SPRAY DRIFT. BE AWARE
|
||
OF NEARBY NON-TARGET SITES AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
|
||
|
||
Boomless Ground Applications:
|
||
x Setting nozzles at the lowest effective height will help to reduce the potential for spray drift.
|
||
|
||
-11-
|
||
|
||
Handheld Technology Applications:
|
||
x Take precautions to minimize spray drift.
|
||
|
||
IMPORTANCE OF DROPLET SIZE
|
||
x An effective way to reduce spray drift is to apply large droplets.
|
||
x Use the largest droplets that provide target pest control.
|
||
x While applying larger drops will reduce spray drift, the potential for drift will be greater if
|
||
applications are made improperly or under unfavorable environmental conditions.
|
||
|
||
Controlling Droplet Size – Groundboom
|
||
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.
|
||
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 nozzle designed to reduce spray 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 – Groundboom
|
||
x For ground equipment, the boom should remain level with the crop and have minimal
|
||
bounce.
|
||
|
||
RELEASE HEIGHT – Aircraft
|
||
x Higher release heights increase the potential for spray drift
|
||
|
||
SHIELDED SPRAYERS
|
||
x Shielding the boom or individual nozzles can reduce spray drift.
|
||
x Consider using shielded sprayers.
|
||
x Verify that the shields are not interfering with the uniform deposition of the spray on the
|
||
target area.
|
||
|
||
TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDTY
|
||
x When making applications in hot and dry conditions, use larger droplets to reduce effects of
|
||
evaporation
|
||
|
||
TEMPERATURE INVERSIONS
|
||
x Drift potential is high during a temperature inversion.
|
||
x Temperature inversions are characterized by increasing temperature with altitude and are
|
||
common nights with limited cloud cover and light to no wind.
|
||
x The presence of an inversion can be indicated by ground fog or by the movement of smoke
|
||
from a ground source or aircraft smoke generator.
|
||
x Smoke that layers and moves laterally in a concentrated could (under low wind conditions)
|
||
indicates an inversion, while smoke that moves upward and rapidly dissipates indicates
|
||
good vertical air mixing.
|
||
|
||
-12-
|
||
x Avoid applications during temperature inversions.
|
||
|
||
WIND
|
||
x 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.

Resistance Management
|
||
DIQUAT DIBROMIDE GROUP 22 HERBICIDE
|
||
|
||
Some naturally occurring weed biotypes resistant to DIQUAT DIBROMIDE may exist
|
||
through normal genetic variability in any weed population. The repeated use of
|
||
herbicides with the same mode of action is known to lead under certain conditions to a
|
||
selection of resistant weeds.
|
||
|
||
The active ingredient in Reglone Desiccant is diquat dibromide, a mechanism of action
|
||
Group 22 herbicide, which inhibits Photosystem I (PSI).
|
||
|
||
Any weed population may contain or develop plants naturally resistant to diquat
|
||
dibromide and other Group 22 herbicides. The resistant biotypes may dominate the
|
||
weed population if these herbicides are used repeatedly in the same field.
|
||
|
||
Within the USA specific biotypes of a number of species, including horseweed/marestail
|
||
(Conyza canadensis), hairy fleabane (Conyza bonariensis), goosegrass (Eleusine
|
||
indica) and American black nightshade (Solanum americanum) have become resistant
|
||
to diquat.
|
||
|
||
Principles of Herbicide Resistant Weed Management
|
||
Scout and know your field
|
||
• Know weed species present in the field to be treated through scouting and field
|
||
history. An understanding of weed biology is useful in designing a resistance
|
||
management strategy. Ensure the weed management program will control all
|
||
weeds present.
|
||
• Fields should be scouted prior to application to determine species present and
|
||
growth stage. Always apply this herbicide at the full labeled rate and correct timing
|
||
for the weeds present in the field.
|
||
Utilize non-herbicidal practices to add diversity
|
||
• Use diversified management tactics such as cover crops, mechanical weed control,
|
||
harvest weed seed control, and crop rotation as appropriate.
|
||
|
||
-13-
|
||
|
||
Use good agronomic practices, start clean and stay clean
|
||
• Use good agronomic practices that enhance crop competitiveness.
|
||
• Plant into weed-free fields utilizing tillage or an effective burndown herbicide for
|
||
control of emerged weeds.
|
||
• Sanitize farm equipment to avoid spreading seed or vegetative propagules prior to
|
||
leaving fields.
|
||
Difficult to control weeds
|
||
• Fields with difficult to control weeds should be planted in rotation with crops that
|
||
allow the use of herbicides with an alternative mode of action or different
|
||
management practices.
|
||
• Difficult to control weeds may require sequential applications, such as a broad
|
||
spectrum preemergence herbicide followed by one or more postemergence
|
||
herbicide applications. Utilize herbicides containing different modes of action
|
||
effective on the target weeds in sequential applications.
|
||
Do not overuse the technology
|
||
• Do not use more than two applications of this or any other herbicide with the same
|
||
mode of action in a single growing season unless mixed with an herbicide with a
|
||
different mode of action which provides overlapping spectrum for the difficult to
|
||
control weeds.
|
||
Scout and inspect fields following application
|
||
• Prevent an influx of weeds into the field by controlling weeds in field borders.
|
||
• Scout fields after application to verify that the treatment was effective.
|
||
• Suspected- herbicide resistant weeds may be identified by these indicators
|
||
• Failure to control a weed species normally controlled by the herbicide at the
|
||
dose applied, especially if control is achieved on adjacent weeds;
|
||
• A spreading patch of non-controlled plants of a particular weed species; and
|
||
• Surviving plants mixed with controlled individuals of the same species.
|
||
• Report non-performance of this product to your Syngenta retailer, Syngenta
|
||
representative, or call 1-866-Syngent(a) (866-796-4368). If resistance is suspected
|
||
ensure weed escapes are controlled using an herbicide with an effective mode of
|
||
action and/or use non-chemical means to prevent further seed production.
|
||
Prevent weed escapes before, during, and after harvest
|
||
|
||
-14-
|
||
• Do not allow weed escapes to produce seed or vegetative structures such as tubers
|
||
or stolons which contribute to spread and survival. Consider harvest weed seed
|
||
management and control weeds post-harvest to prevent seed production.
|
||
|
||
Resistant Weeds
|
||
Contact your local Syngenta representative, retailer, crop advisor or extension agent to
|
||
determine if weeds resistant to this mode of action are present in your area. If resistant
|
||
biotypes have been reported, use the full labeled rate of this product, apply at the
|
||
labeled timing, and tank-mix with a different mode of action product so there are
|
||
multiple effective modes of application for each suspected resistant weed.

|
||
Waters treated with this product may be hazardous to non-target aquatic organisms. Treatment
|
||
of aquatic weeds and algae can result in oxygen loss from decomposition of dead biomass. This
|
||
oxygen loss can cause fish and invertebrate suffocation. To minimize this hazard, do not use
|
||
products containing diquat dibromide to treat more than ½ of the water body (excluding water
|
||
infrastructure and constructed conveyances such as drainage canals, ditches, and pipelines or
|
||
intakes and aqueducts for drinking water or irrigation use) to avoid depletion of oxygen due to
|
||
|
||
-18-
|
||
decaying vegetation. Wait at least 7 days between performing diquat dibromide applications to
|
||
adjacent treatment areas within the same waterbody. Begin treatment along the shore and
|
||
proceed outward in bands to allow fish to move into untreated areas. Consult with the state or
|
||
local agency with primary responsibility for regulating pesticides before applying this product to
|
||
determine if a permit is required.
|
||
|
||
For application only to stillwater (e.g., farm ponds, farm lakes, and farm drainage ditches) where
|
||
there is minimal or no outflow to public waters.
|
||
|
||
Treated water may be used according to the following table or until such time as an approved
|
||
assay (example: PAM II Spectromatic Method) shows that the water does not contain more
|
||
than the designated maximum contaminant level goal (MCLG) of 0.02 mg/l (ppm) of diquat
|
||
dibromide (calculated as the cation):

* For water less than or equal to 2 ft in average depth of treatment area, use a maximum of 1
|
||
gal of Reglone Desiccant per surface acre. Lowest rates should be used in shallow areas
|
||
where the water depth is considerably less than the coverage depth of the entire treatment
|
||
area, for example, shallow shoreline area. At water temperatures below 50q–60qF efficacy
|
||
and immediacy of results may be reduced.
|
||
|
||
1 Reglone Desiccant controls Potamogetan species except Richardson's pondweed (P.
|
||
richardsonii). For control of P. robbinsii, applications must be made when the plants are in
|
||
the early stages of growth such as in Spring and early Summer.
|
||
|
||
2 For salvinia, waterlettuce and waterhyacinth, use the labeled rate of Reglone Desiccant in
|
||
75–200 gal water plus the labeled rate of a 75% or greater nonionic surfactant per acre for
|
||
surface sprays and for aerial application for waterlettuce and waterhyacinth control, apply the
|
||
labeled rate of Reglone Desiccant in 10–24 gal water plus the labeled rate of a 75% or
|
||
greater nonionic surfactant per acre.
|
||
|
||
3 For pennywort control, apply in 50–150 gal of water plus the labeled rate of a 75% or greater
|
||
nonionic surfactant per acre for full coverage and thorough weed contact. Repeat treatments
|
||
may be necessary to control regrowth.
|
||
|
||
4 For duckweed control, apply as an overall spray in 50–150 gal. of water plus the labeled rate
|
||
of a 75% or greater nonionic surfactant per acre. Retreatment may be necessary for plants
|
||
missed in previous applications and regrowth.

|
||
Subsurface or Bottom Placement Applications
|
||
|
||
To control submersed weeds (subsurface or bottom placement application), apply Reglone
|
||
Desiccant at 0.5-2.0 gallon per surface acre (per 4 foot water depth) not to exceed 1 lb ai/acre
|
||
foot per application. The table below shows how many gallons of Reglone Desiccant to apply
|
||
per surface acre-foot based on average water depth.
|
||
|
||
|
||
Note: For water depths of 2 feet or less including shorelines, do not exceed 1 gallon per
|
||
surface acre.
|
||
|
||
Application
|
||
In mixed weed populations, use the high rate of application as indicated by weeds present.
|
||
|
||
Subsurface Applications
|
||
Where the submersed weed growth, especially Hydrilla, has reached the water surface, apply
|
||
either in a water carrier or an invert emulsion through boom trailing hoses carrying nozzle tips to
|
||
apply the dilute spray below the water surface to insure adequate coverage.
|
||
|
||
Bottom Placement
|
||
Where the submersed weeds, especially Hydrilla, Bladderwort, and Coontail growth have
|
||
reached the water surface or where water is slowly moving through the submersed weed growth
|
||
that has reached the water surface, especially Hydrilla, Bladderwort, and Coontail, control may
|
||
be enhanced when applied in an invert emulsion carrier injecting diluted Reglone Desiccant
|
||
near the bottom with weighted hoses. The addition of a copper-based algaecide will improve
|
||
control. Where algae are present along with the submersed weeds, pretreatment with copper-
|
||
based algaecide at specified rates is advised for best results.
|
||
|
||
Surface Application
|
||
For submerged aquatic weeds, apply Reglone Desiccant either as concentrate slowly poured
|
||
directly from the container in strips or as a spray in sufficient carrier. Applications should be
|
||
made to ensure complete coverage of the weed areas. In mixed weed populations, use the
|
||
high rate of application as indicated by weeds present.
