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 Ms. Clark:
|
||
|
||
The amended labels referred to above, submitted in connection with registration under the Federal
|
||
Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), as amended, are acceptable. Accordingly, EPA
|
||
has approved the requested registration amendments, provided Syngenta Crop Protection, LLC
|
||
(“Syngenta”) complies with all terms and conditions listed below.
|
||
|
||
Terms and Conditions
|
||
|
||
Syngenta must comply with all the following terms and conditions. Release for shipment of these
|
||
products constitutes acceptance of the below conditions. If these conditions are not complied with, the
|
||
registrations will be subject to cancellation in accordance with FIFRA section 6.
|
||
|
||
Endangered Species Protection and Formal Consultation
|
||
|
||
1. For this action, EPA conducted effects determinations under the Endangered Species Act
|
||
(ESA). In its final effects determinations (included in a biological evaluation), EPA made may
|
||
affect, likely to adversely affect (LAA), determinations for certain listed species and designated
|
||
critical habitats for products containing cyantraniliprole (including this product). For these
|
||
LAA determinations, EPA also assessed the potential likelihood of jeopardy or adverse
|
||
modification in its effects determination, consistent with 50 C.F.R. § 402.40(b)(1). EPA
|
||
predicted no potential likelihood of jeopardy for listed species or adverse modification for
|
||
designated critical habitat. On September 25, 2023, EPA initiated formal consultation with the
|
||
|
||

|
||
EPA Reg. Nos.
|
||
Decision Nos. 593337, 593338, 593342, 593343, 593341, 593344, 594352, 593336, 593339 and
|
||
593334
|
||
|
||
Services. The Services will make the final determination as to the potential for jeopardy for
|
||
listed species or adverse modification for designated critical habitat in any final biological
|
||
opinions issued at the completion of consultation.
|
||
|
||
If, following formal consultation with Service(s), additional modifications are identified in any
|
||
applicable Biological Opinion, EPA will notify Syngenta in writing within 45 calendar days of
|
||
the issuance of the Biological Opinion of any necessary changes. Within 30 calendar days of
|
||
receiving EPA’s notice, Syngenta must submit an amendment application incorporating the
|
||
necessary changes, including amended labels. Alternatively, Syngenta may respond by
|
||
submitting a request for voluntary cancellation of this product. If Syngenta fails to comply with
|
||
this term, Syngenta has agreed in prior written acceptance of these terms that EPA may cancel
|
||
the registration under an expedited process under FIFRA 6(e).
|
||
|
||
Implementation of Revised Labeling
|
||
|
||
2. To ensure the prompt adoption of the mitigations in this registration amendment in newly
|
||
produced product and previously produced product that is still under Syngenta’s control,
|
||
Syngenta must submit state registrations for approval, in all states where products are currently
|
||
registered, for the products with the labeling associated with this approval letter no later than
|
||
November 30, 2023.
|
||
|
||
3. In accordance with 40 C.F.R. § 152.130(c), product may be distributed or sold by Syngenta
|
||
under the previously approved labeling for no longer than 12 months from the date of this letter
|
||
or 75 days after the final state approval from those submitted under Term #2, whichever is
|
||
earlier.
|
||
|
||
4. Nothing in Terms #2-3 should be read to obligate Syngenta to provide additional labeling for
|
||
product that bears the previously approved label but is not under Syngenta’s control as of the
|
||
date of this letter. However, Syngenta should conduct outreach for users of this product to
|
||
update them on the forthcoming changes to the label and their importance in mitigating
|
||
potential effects to listed species and avoiding violations of the Endangered Species Act.
|
||
|
||
EPA’s Rationale for Approving This Registration Amendment
|
||
|
||
FIFRA section 3(c)(5) requires EPA to unconditionally approve a registration amendment if:
|
||
“its composition is such as to warrant the proposed claims for it”;
|
||
1
|
||
“its labeling and other material required to be submitted comply with the requirements of
|
||
[FIFRA]”;2
|
||
|
||
1 FIFRA § 3(c)(5)(A), 7 U.S.C. § 136a(c)(5)(A). Here, EPA reviewed the proposed labeling and determined that the claims
|
||
made for the product were consistent with composition of the product based on the data submitted.
|
||
2 FIFRA § 3(c)(5)(B), 7 U.S.C. § 136a(c)(5)(B). Here, EPA reviewed the submitted labeling and other materials submitted
|
||
and found them to be compliant with the requirements of FIFRA. Additionally, there are no data gaps.

|
||
593334
|
||
|
||
“it will perform its intended function without unreasonable adverse effects on the
|
||
environment”;
|
||
3 and
|
||
“when used in accordance with widespread and commonly recognized practice it will not
|
||
generally cause unreasonable adverse effects on the environment.”4
|
||
|
||
Prior to approving the previous registrations and registration amendments for this product and others
|
||
containing cyantraniliprole, EPA considered risks and benefits of approving the registrations and
|
||
registration amendments. To determine the risks and benefits, the Agency reviews a large body of
|
||
information to determine the effects of using these products. In assessing the risks from use of products
|
||
containing cyantraniliprole, EPA has conducted both human health risk assessments
|
||
5 and ecological
|
||
and environment fate risk assessments.6 EPA also updated its ecological and environmental fate risk
|
||
assessments in support of the 2023 draft biological evaluation (BE).7 EPA believes that that these risk
|
||
assessments (and the benefits discussed below) are also applicable to the action to approve this
|
||
amended registration.

|
||
|
||
In the human health risk assessments, EPA did not select an acute dietary toxicity endpoint because the
|
||
Agency did not identify any effect attributed to a single dose (i.e., CTP is not expected to pose an acute
|
||
risk to humans). In general, CTP produces both adverse and adaptive changes in the liver, thyroid
|
||
gland, and adrenal cortex. With repeat dosing, consistent findings of mild to moderate increases in
|
||
liver weights are observed across multiple species (rats, mice, dogs). CTP was classified as “not likely
|
||
to be carcinogenic to humans” based upon data demonstrating lack of treatment-related increase in
|
||
tumor incidence in rats and mice. No cumulative effects were identified. CTP presents no
|
||
mutagenicity, neurotoxicity, immunotoxicity, developmental reproductive toxicity.
|
||
|
||
In the environmental risk assessments, EPA identified risks of concern for both aquatic and terrestrial
|
||
invertebrates. Overall, however, the major risks of concerns are for direct effects to freshwater,
|
||
estuarine/marine, and benthic invertebrates. EPA did not identify direct risks of concerns for birds,
|
||
reptiles, amphibians, freshwater fish, terrestrial plants, or aquatic plants.
|
||
|
||
EPA also considered the benefits of products containing cyantraniliprole, including CTP’s activity on a
|
||
wide variety of target insects on a variety of crops. CTP is effective for controlling aphids, weevils and
|
||
thrips—all major agricultural pests. CTP is not expected to pose any acute risk to humans and was
|
||
registered in 2013 as a reduced risk pesticide due to it posing lower relative risk to alternative
|
||
chemicals available at that time. CTP also poses lower risk to non-target organisms relative to
|
||
alternatives and is compatible with IPM practices.
|
||
|
||
This amended registration includes additional mitigation measures to address effects to listed species,
|
||
including the following:
|
||
|
||
• Requirement that applicators use coarse/coarser droplets for ground and aerial applications to
|
||
reduce spray drift
|
||
• Requirement that aerial applications abide by wind-directional buffers, as identified in Bulletins
|
||
Live Two (BLT), also to reduce spray drift
|
||
• Increase in distance of vegetative filter strips from 25 to 30 feet to mitigate the potential for
|
||
runoff to aquatic habitats
|
||
• Use of a 25’ buffer for airblast applications to dormant, non-bearing and/or vegetation that is
|
||
not yet fully leafed out
|
||
• Requirement that treated seeds be immediately covered or collected if spilled during loading
|
||
|
||
After consideration, EPA has determined that approving this amended registration will not cause
|
||
unreasonable adverse effects because the amended registrations are not expected to result in increased
|
||
exposures
|
||
8 and because EPA continues to believe that—consistent with the 2014 registration decision 9
|
||
|
||
8 While the mitigations in the amended registrations are intended to reduce exposures to listed species, EPA expects that the
|
||
mitigations will (1) not increase exposures to other non-listed non-target organisms, and (2) will generally reduce exposures
|
||
to all non-target organisms (both listed and non-listed).
|
||

Conclusion
|
||
|
||
A stamped copy of your labeling is enclosed for your records. This labeling supersedes all previously
|
||
accepted labeling. You must submit one copy of the final printed labeling before you release the
|
||
product for shipment with the new labeling. Consistent with Terms 2-5 above, and not withstanding 40
|
||
C.F.R. § 152.130(c), you may only distribute or sell
|
||
11 this product under either the final stamped label
|
||
associated with this approval letter or with accompanying labeling that incorporates the mitigations in
|
||
this registration amendment.
|
||
|
||
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 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 C.F.R. § 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 product will be referred to EPA’s Office of Enforcement and Compliance.

Environmental Hazards
|
||
This pesticide is toxic to aquatic invertebrates. Drift and runoff may be hazardous to
|
||
aquatic organisms in water adjacent to treated areas.
|
||
This product is highly toxic to bees exposed to direct treatment or residues on blooming
|
||
crops or weeds. Do not apply this product or allow it to drift to blooming crops or weeds
|
||
if bees are foraging the treatment area.
|
||
Surface Water Advisory
|
||
This product may impact surface water quality due to runoff of rainwater. This is
|
||
especially true for poorly draining soils and soils with shallow ground water. This
|
||
product is classified as having a high potential for reaching surface water via runoff for
|
||
several months or more after application.
|
||
Do not apply within 50 feet of aquatic habitats (such as, but not limited to, lakes,
|
||
reservoirs, rivers, permanent streams, wetlands or natural ponds, estuaries, and
|
||
commercial fish farm ponds).
|
||
Do not cultivate within 30 feet of the aquatic area to allow growth of a vegetative
|
||
filter strip.
|
||
Runoff of this product will be reduced by avoiding applications when rainfall is
|
||
forecasted to occur within 48 hours.
|
||
Ground Water Advisory
|
||
This chemical may leach into ground water if used in areas where soils are permeable,
|
||
particularly where the water table is shallow.
|
||
Spray Drift Advisory
|
||
Mainspring GNL may be applied by ground equipment or aerial application.
|
||
|
||
Ground Application
|
||
For broadcast applications made at planting or prior to the emergence of crops,
|
||
applicators are required to use a coarse or coarser droplet size (ASABE S572.1). For all
|
||
other broadcast applications, applicators are required to use a medium or coarser
|
||
droplet size (ASABE S572.1).

|
||
|
||
Avoid spraying at a height greater than 10 ft above the ground or vegetative canopy
|
||
unless a greater application height is necessary for pilot safety.
|
||
If the windspeed is 10 miles per hour or less, applicators must use ¾ swath
|
||
displacement upwind at the downwind edge of the field. When the windspeed is
|
||
between 11-15 miles per hour, applicators must use a full swath displacement upwind at
|
||
the downwind edge of the field.
|
||
DO NOTapply 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.
|
||
DO NOTapply during temperature inversions.
|
||
|
||
For fixed wing and helicopter aerial applications made at planting or prior to the
|
||
emergence of crops, applicators are required to use a coarse or coarser droplet size
|
||
(ASABE S572.1). For all other fixed wing and helicopter aerial applications, applicators
|
||
are required to use a medium or coarser droplet size (ASABE S572.1)

|
||
PRODUCT INFORMATION
|
||
Mainspring GNL is an insecticide that controls listed insect pests on ornamental plants;
|
||
ornamental bulb, corm and tuber crops; conifers; Christmas trees; [vegetable plants]
|
||
and non-bearing fruit and nut trees grown in greenhouses and nurseries (including field-
|
||
and container-grown plants grown outdoors and in shade houses, lath houses and other
|
||
ornamental production structures), conifer nurseries, retail nurseries, residential and
|
||
commercial landscapes, and interior plantscapes.
|
||
Mainspring GNL may be applied to plants and grassy areas that are grown for aesthetic
|
||
recreational or other property maintenance purposes or climatic modification in or
|
||
around home lawns, residential dwellings, business and office complexes, shopping
|
||
complexes, multi-family residential complexes, institutional buildings, airports,
|
||
cemeteries, interior plantscapes, ornamental gardens, wildlife plantings, parks,
|
||
playgrounds, schools, daycare facilities, other landscaped areas. Mainspring GNL may
|
||
also be applied to plants in and around small and large companion-animal (including
|
||
horses) boarding and exercising areas providing the animals exposed to the treated
|
||
areas are not used for human consumption.
|
||
|
||
Mainspring GNL
|
||
100-1543
|
||
12
|
||
Mainspring GNL can be applied as a foliar spray, a soil broadcast spray, a soil drench,
|
||
and soil injection and by chemigation. When applied as a foliar spray, the product will
|
||
have translaminar and systemic movement, providing residual efficacy of foliar insect
|
||
pests. When Mainspring GNL is applied by drench to the root system of plants, it will be
|
||
translocated upward in the plant due to its systemic activity. Systemic upward
|
||
movement in herbaceous plants will be quicker than in those of woody plants, such as
|
||
trees and shrubs. Soil applications should be made prior to anticipated pest infestation
|
||
to allow adequate systemic movement to achieve optimum levels of control.
|
||
|
||
Mainspring GNL controls a broad range of chewing and sucking pests. Insecticidal
|
||
activity is primarily through ingestion. This results in paralysis, rapid inhibition of feeding
|
||
and disruption of other key physiological functions. Depending on the target pest,
|
||
mortality occurs within two to seven days. The rapid cessation of feeding results in less
|
||
plant injury. It is recommended that Mainspring GNL be applied when pest populations
|
||
are low to prevent targeted insects from increasing to damaging levels.
|
||
Integrated Pest Management (IPM) Programs
|
||
Mainspring GNL can be used in an IPM program with biological agents for controlling
|
||
ornamental pest. Beneficial arthropods can help control other insect and mite pests and
|
||
reduce the potential for secondary pest outbreaks. Mainspring GNL can reduce the
|
||
target pest species that serve as a food source for beneficial arthropods, which can
|
||
indirectly affect their populations. If Mainspring GNL is tank-mixed with a product that
|
||
negatively impacts beneficial arthropods, the full benefit of Mainspring GNL to an IPM
|
||
program may not be realized.
|
||
Resistance Management
|
||
GROUP 28 INSECTICIDE
|
||
Mainspring GNL is in GROUP 28 of the EPA's Insecticide and Acaricide Groups based
|
||
on Target Site of Action.
|
||
Some insects are known to develop resistance to products that have been used
|
||
repeatedly for control. When this occurs, the label use rates can fail to reduce the pest
|
||
population below threshold levels. As the development of resistance cannot be
|
||
predicted, the use of this product should conform to resistance management strategies
|
||
established for the use area. These strategies may include incorporation of cultural and
|
||
biological control practices, alternation of active classes of insecticides on succeeding
|
||
generations and targeting the most susceptible life stage. Consult your local
|
||
Cooperative Extension Service specialist or pest control advisor for the latest
|
||
information on resistance management in your area or crop.
|
||
Plant Safety
|
||
|
||
Mainspring GNL
|
||
100-1543
|
||
13
|
||
Mainspring GNL has been found to be generally safe when applied according to label
|
||
use directions to the listed plants. Phytotoxicity testing has not been performed on all
|
||
possible species and cultivars. Individual plant species or cultivars may be sensitive to
|
||
the final spray solution, including tank mixes. If local experience is not available, a
|
||
small number of plants should be treated and observed for phytotoxicity for at least one
|
||
week before making an application to the entire planting to ensure plant safety.
|
||
|
||
APPLICATION EQUIPMENT CLEANING
|
||
Prior to application, start with clean, well maintained application equipment.
|
||
Immediately following application, thoroughly clean all application equipment to reduce
|
||
the risk of forming hardened deposits that might become difficult to remove. Drain
|
||
application equipment. Thoroughly rinse application equipment and flush hoses, boom
|
||
and nozzles with clean water. Clean all other associated application equipment. Take
|
||
all necessary safety precautions when cleaning equipment. DO NOT clean equipment
|
||
near wells, water sources or desirable vegetation. Dispose of waste rinse water in
|
||
accordance with local regulations.
|
||
|
||
CALIBRATION OF APPLICATION EQUIPMENT
|
||
Proper maintenance and calibration of spraying and chemigation equipment are
|
||
essential for optimal insect pest control. If you have questions about calibration, contact
|
||
a State Extension Service specialist, the equipment manufacturer or other experts.
|
||
|
||
A person knowledgeable of the chemigation system and responsible for its operation, or
|
||
under the supervision of the responsible person, shall shut the system down and make
|
||
necessary adjustments if the need arises.
|
||
|
||
MIXING INSTRUCTIONS
|
||
Mainspring GNL is a suspension concentrate (SC) formulation. Mainspring GNL must
|
||
be diluted with water before application.
|
||
|
||
Mainspring GNL readily mixes with water and may be used in many different types of
|
||
application equipment and applied to either the foliage or root system. Mix product with
|
||
the required amount of water and apply according to label use directions.
|
||
|
||
The pH of application mixtures containing Mainspring GNL should be adjusted to a pH
|
||
of 8 or less using a commercially available acidifier. When applying Mainspring GNL by
|
||
chemigation, adjust the pH of the chemigation systems supply or nurse tank using a
|
||
commercially available acidifier. Adjust the pH of application mixtures after all products
|
||
being applied have been added to the tank and uniformly mixed for broadcast and
|
||
drench applications.
|
||
|
||
Mixing Directions
|
||
1. Use clean, well maintained and properly calibrated application equipment.
|
||

Mainspring GNL may be used in many different types of application equipment and
|
||
applied to either the foliage or root system. Mix product with the required amount of
|
||
water and apply as desired dependent upon the selected use pattern.
|
||
Consult your Cooperative Extension Service specialist or pest control advisor for
|
||
regionally specific information regarding application timing.
|
||
MANDATORY SPRAY DRIFT REDUCTION MANAGEMENT
|
||
Do not apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the area intended for treatment. The
|
||
interaction of many equipment- and weather-related factors determines the potential for
|
||
spray drift. The applicator is responsible for considering all of these factors when
|
||
making application decisions. Avoiding spray drift is the responsibility of the applicator.
|
||
Importance of Droplet Size: An important factor influencing drift is droplet size.
|
||
Select nozzles and pressure that deliver medium spray droplets as indicated in nozzle
|
||
manufacturer’s catalogs and in accordance with ASAE Standard S-572. Nozzles that
|
||
deliver coarse spray droplets may be used to reduce spray drift provided spray volume
|
||
per acre (GPA) is increased to maintain crop coverage. For aerial application, spray
|
||
should be released at the lowest possible height consistent with good pest control. For
|
||
aerial applications, do not release spray at a height greater than 10 ft above the ground
|
||
or vegetative canopy, unless a greater application height is necessary for pilot safety.
|
||
Low humidity and high temperature increase the evaporation rate of spray droplets and
|
||
therefore the likelihood of spray drift to aquatic areas. Avoid spraying during conditions
|
||
of low humidity and/or high temperature.
|
||
Wind Speed Restrictions:
|
||
For Aerial Applications:
|
||
If the windspeed is 10 miles per hour or less, applicators must use ¾ swath
|
||
displacement upwind at the downwind edge of the field. When the windspeed is
|
||
between 11-15 miles per hour, applicators must use a full swath displacement upwind at
|
||
the downwind edge of the field.
|
||
|
||
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.
|
||
For broadcast applications made at planting or prior to the emergence of crops:
|
||
applicators are required to use a coarse or coarser droplet size (ASABE S572.1). For all
|
||
other broadcast applications, applicators are required to use a medium or coarser
|
||
droplet size (ASABE S572.1

|
||
Restrictions during Temperature Inversions: Do not make aerial or ground
|
||
applications during temperature inversions. Drift potential is high during temperature
|
||
inversions. Temperature inversions restrict vertical air mixing, which causes small
|
||
suspended droplets to remain close to the ground and move laterally in a concentrated
|
||
cloud. Temperature inversions are characterized by increasing temperature with
|
||
altitude and are common on nights with limited cloud cover and light to no wind. They
|
||
begin to form as the sun sets and often continue into the morning. Their presence can
|
||
be indicated by ground fog. However, if fog is not present, the movement of smoke
|
||
from a ground source can also identify inversions. 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.
|
||
|
||
FOLIAR APPLICATION
|
||
Foliar application rates are listed in Table 1. Foliar applications offer locally systemic
|
||
activity with residual control of listed pests. Mix the Mainspring GNL with the required
|
||
amount of water and apply as a full coverage foliar spray to control the target pest.
|
||
Apply Mainspring GNL when pest populations are low to prevent them from increasing
|
||
to damaging levels
|
||
When making foliar applications to plants with hard-to-wet foliage, such as holly, ivy, or
|
||
pine, the addition of a spreading adjuvant is recommended. Do not use adjuvants with
|
||
binding or sticking properties as these may reduce absorption of Mainspring GNL by the
|
||
plant. Use sufficient water volume to provide thorough and uniform coverage. Avoid
|
||
making applications where uniform coverage cannot be obtained or where excessive
|
||
spray drift can occur.
|
||
|
||
If making a low volume, or mist-type application, use the equivalent amount of product
|
||
as you would when making an application with higher volumes of water for a given area.

BROADCAST APPLICATION
|
||
Broadcast applications of Mainspring GNL may be applied for white grub, annual
|
||
bluegrass weevils, billbugs, chinch bugs (suppression), turf caterpillars, European crane
|
||
flies, and spittlebugs in grassy, weedy, or bare soil areas, including residential and
|
||
commercial landscapes. Broadcast application rates for these areas are presented in
|
||
Table 2. Apply in sufficient water to uniformly cover the area being treated (a minimum
|
||
of 2 gallons per 1,000 square feet is recommended). Irrigate immediately after
|
||
application or allow rainfall to move the product into the soil. Use properly calibrated
|
||
application equipment that will produce a uniform, coarse droplet spray, using a low
|
||
pressure setting to eliminate off target drift. Mainspring GNL may be applied either
|
||
before planting or after plants have been established.
|
||
APPLICATION TIMING
|
||
White Grubs: Apply Mainspring GNL from [April][May][June] to [early] September for
|
||
preventative and early curative control of listed white grub species. The need for an
|
||
application may be based on historical monitoring of the site, previous records or
|
||
experiences, current season adult trapping or other methods. Irrigate turf immediately
|
||
after application or allow rainfall to move the product into the soil.
|
||
Annual Bluegrass Weevil: Apply Mainspring GNL when overwintered adult annual
|
||
bluegrass weevils are observed in late April or early May to prevent damage from first
|
||
generation larvae in late-May and June. An application of Mainspring GNL at this time
|
||
will also provide white grub control.

Billbugs:Apply Mainspring GNL when overwintered adult billbugs are first observed.
|
||
This will usually occur in late April or early May in regions with cool-season turfgrasses.
|
||
An application of Mainspring GNL at this time will also provide white grub control.
|
||
Chinch Bugs: For suppression of chinch bugs, apply Mainspring GNL before eggs
|
||
hatch.
|
||
European Crane Fly: Apply Mainspring GNL between July and November to control
|
||
the fall generation of European crane fly larvae in turfgrass. An application of
|
||
Mainspring GNL in early July will also provide excellent white grub control. The higher
|
||
rate listed in Table 1 may be required to achieve control when applications are made in
|
||
November.
|
||
Spittlebugs: Mainspring GNL will provide control of two-lined spittlebug when
|
||
applications are made in spring or summer.
|
||
Turf Caterpillars: Mainspring GNL will provide excellent curative and residual
|
||
caterpillar control in turfgrass. To ensure optimum control, delay watering (irrigation) or
|
||
mowing for 24 hours after application. Mowing vegetation to lowest possible height will
|
||
ensure more consistent control. Apply in sufficient water to uniformly cover the area
|
||
being treated (a minimum of 2 gallons per 1,000 square feet is recommended for
|
||
grassy, weedy, or bare soil areas).

APPLICATION TO SOIL MEDIA
|
||
Mainspring GNL can be applied to the growing media of containerized plants to control
|
||
listed ornamental pests. Apply Mainspring GNL when pest populations are low to
|
||
prevent the increase of that population to damaging levels. Apply to moist soil media.
|
||
DO NOT apply to dry or saturated soil media. For optimal performance, DO NOT apply
|
||
drench to soil media until roots have grown after transplanting. DO NOT leach treated
|
||
soil media for at least 7 days after application or performance may be reduced. Heavy
|
||
rainfall or excessive irrigation after application could reduce insect control performance.
|
||
In general, higher rates will be needed to control insect pests on woody plants as
|
||
compared to those on herbaceous plants.
|
||
|
||
Drench Application
|
||
For drench applications, prepare a dilute drench solution by mixing Mainspring GNL in
|
||
water at the rate listed in Table 3. Apply drench solution to containers, flats, trays,
|
||
benches or beds according to the application rates given in Table 3. Drench volume
|
||
should be sufficient to thoroughly wet soil media without overflowing or leaching from
|
||
the container. Follow the drench application with moderate irrigation. Irrigate carefully
|
||
during the next 10 days to avoid loss of active ingredient from the container.

Application through Irrigation systems (Chemigation)
|
||
Mainspring GNL may be applied by injection into an irrigation system, either alone or in
|
||
combination with other pesticides or chemicals that are registered for application
|
||
through irrigation systems. Dilution ratios are normally 1:100 to 1:200, depending on the
|
||
system. Application dosages are presented in Table 4 below.
|
||
Apply this product only through micro-irrigation (individual spaghetti tube), drip irrigation,
|
||
overhead irrigation, ebb and flood irrigation, or motorized calibrated irrigation
|
||
equipment. DO NOT apply through any other type of irrigation system. Non-uniform
|
||
distribution of Mainspring GNL applied by chemigation can result in reduced product
|
||
effectiveness.
|
||
Apply Mainspring GNL under the instructions specified in the specific use
|
||
recommendations and not according to the irrigation schedule unless the events
|
||
coincide. In general, set the equipment to apply the minimum amount of water per acre.
|
||
Run the system at 86–90% of the manufacturer's maximum rated travel speed.
|
||
Users should check with state and local regulatory agencies for potential use
|
||
restrictions before applying any agricultural chemical through sprinkler irrigation
|
||
equipment.
|
||
If you have questions about calibration, you should contact State Extension Service
|
||
specialists, equipment manufacturers, or other experts. A person knowledgeable of the
|
||
chemigation system and responsible for its operation, or under the supervision of the
|
||
responsible person, shall shut the system down and make necessary adjustments
|
||
should the need arise.
|
||
|
||
Using Water from Public Water Systems
|
||
DO NOT APPLY MAINSPRING GNL THROUGH ANY IRRIGATION SYSTEM
|
||
PHYSICALLY CONNECTED TO A PUBLIC WATER SYSTEM.
|
||
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 per year. Mainspring
|
||
GNL may be applied through irrigation systems which may be supplied by a public
|
||
water system ONLY if the water from the public water system is 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 to top or overflow rim of the reservoir
|
||
tank of at least twice the inside diameter of the fill pipe. Before beginning chemigation,
|
||
always make sure that the air gap exists and that there is no blockage of the overflow of
|
||
the reservoir tank.
|
||
Any irrigation system using water supplied from a public water system must also meet
|
||
the following requirements:

Operating Instructions for All Recommended Types of Irrigation Systems
|
||
1. The system must be calibrated to uniformly apply the rates specified. If you have
|
||
questions about calibration, you should contact State Extension Service specialists,
|
||
equipment manufacturers, or other experts.
|
||
2. 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.
|
||
3. The pesticide injection pipeline 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 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.
|
||
5. The system must contain functional interlocking controls to automatically shut off the
|
||
pesticide injection pump when the water pump motor stops.
|
||
6. 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.
|
||
7. 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.
|
||
8. Do not apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the area intended for treatment.

Ebb-and-Flood Chemigation
|
||
To calculate the volume of water needed for chemigation using ebb-and-flood irrigation:
|
||
1. Bring a minimum of 10 containers to a soil moisture of field capacity.
|
||
2. Allow the soil media to dry.
|
||
3. Bring the containers back to field capacity.
|
||
4. Multiply the amount of water needed to bring the soil in a single container back to
|
||
field capacity by the total number of containers to be chemigated.
|
||
5. Add this volume to the amount of water needed to flood the area to be treated.

IN-GROUND SOIL DRENCH & INJECTION APPLICATIONS
|
||
Mainspring GNL is a systemic product and will be translocated upward into the plant
|
||
from root uptake. Soil treatment application rates are listed in Table 6. To assure
|
||
optimum effectiveness, the product must be placed where the growing portion of the
|
||
target plant can absorb the active ingredient. For this reason, basal application within
|
||
one to three feet of the root flare of trees and shrubs is recommended. Application can
|
||
be made by soil injection, soil drenches and soil broadcast sprays. When making soil
|
||
applications to plants with woody stems, systemic activity will be delayed until the active
|
||
ingredient is translocated throughout the plant. In some cases, this delay could be 60
|
||
days or longer. For this reason, applications should be made prior to anticipated pest
|
||
infestation to achieve optimum levels of control.
|
||
Calculations for soil injection/drench applications of Mainspring GNL:
|
||
1: Calibrate the application equipment to determine its flow rate in gallons per minute.
|
||
2: Select an injecting/drenching volume per inch of tree diameter at breast height
|
||
(DBH) or foot of shrub height.
|
||
3: Refer to the Table 7below to determine the amount of time that is required to deliver
|
||
the desired volume per injection/drench site. The example highlighted in Table 7 shows
|
||
that 10 seconds are required per inch of tree DBH or foot of shrub height when
|
||
injecting/drenching 1 quart of solution per site using a flow rate of 1.5 gallons per
|
||
minute.
|
||
4: Determine how much solution to mix.
|
||
5: Refer to the Table 8 below to determine the amount of Mainspring GNL that must be
|
||
mixed in the desired volume of water based on the injection volume identified above.
