Image rebuild (skip scrape) / build (push) Failing after 1h37m12s
Details
docker: production image + Gitea Actions for monthly refresh 
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).

hours unless wearing appropriate PPE.
EXCEPTION: If the product is soil -incorporated, the Worker Protection Standard, under certain
circumstances, allows workers to enter the treated area if there will be no contact with anything that
has been treated.
3
PPE required for early entry to treated areas that is permitted under the Worker Protection
Standard and that involves contact with anything that has been treated such as plants, soil, or
water, is:
• coveralls over long-sleeved shirt and long pants,
• chemical-resistant gloves, and
• shoes plus socks.
GENERAL CHEMIGATION INSTRUCTIONS
Apply this product only through sprinkler including center pi vot, lateral move, side (wheel) roll,
traveler, big gun, solid set, hand move, or furrow irrigation systems. Do not apply this product
through any other type of irrigation system.
Crop injury, lack of effectiveness, or illegal pesticide residues in the crop can result from non-uniform
distribution of treated water.
If you have questions about calibration, you should contact State Extension Service specialists,
equipment manufacturers or other experts.
Do not connect an irrigation system (including greenhouse systems) used for pesticide application to
a public water system unless the pesticide label prescribed safety devices for public water systems
are in place.
A person knowledgeable of the chemigation system and responsible for its operation, or under
supervision of the responsible person, shall shut the system down and make necessary adjustments
should the need arise.
Maintain agitation in the supply tank while adding the required amount of AGM16002, and throughout
the application. AGM16002 should be added to the supply tank at the end of water application (prior
to last complete cycle in moving systems).
The correct amount of AGM16002 to add is calculated as the rate in fluid ounces per acre x the
number of acres covered by the contents of the supply tank.
(For example, if the supply tank covers ten acres and the rate on the label for that crop is 2 fluid
ounces per acre, add 10 x 2 = 20 fluid ounces to the supply tank at the beginning of the last full
cycle).
CHEMIGATION SYSTEMS CONNECTED TO PUBLIC WATER SYSTEMS
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 out of the year.
Chemigation systems connected to public water systems must contain a functional, reduced-
pressure zone, backflow preventer (RPZ) or the functional equivalent in the water supply line
upstream from the point of pesticide introduction. As an option to the RPZ, the water from the public
water system should be 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 the top or overflow
rim of the reservoir tank of at least twice the inside diameter of the fill pipe.
The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional, automatic, quick -closing check valve to
prevent the flow of fluid back toward the injection pump.
The pesticide injection pipeline must 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
4
from being withdrawn from the supply tank when the irrigation sy stem is either automatically or
manually shut down.
The system must contain functional interlocking controls to automatically shut off the pesticide
injection pump when the pump motor stops, or in cases where there is no water pump, when the
water pressure decreases to the point where pesticide distribution is adversely affected.
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 the pesticides and
capable of being fitted with a system interlock.
Do not apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the area intended for treatment.
The pesticide supply tank should be agitated throughout the application of AGM16002. AGM16002
should be applied at the end of the water application.
AGM16002 should be applied at the end of the irrigation period in a sufficient amount of water to
allow proper coverage of plant or crop but not to exceed 19.2 fluid ounces of AGM16002 per acre per
application.
IN-FURROW CHEMIGATION
1. Systems using a gravity flow pesticide dispensing system must meter the pesticide into the water
at the head of the field and downstream of a hydraulic discontinuity such as a drop structure or weir
box to decrease potential for water source contamination from backflow if water flow stops.
2. Systems utilizing a pressurized water and pesticide injection system must meet the following
requirements:
a. 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.
b. The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional, automatic, quick -closing check
valve to prevent the flow of fluid back toward the injection pump.
c. 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 w ithdrawn from the supply tank when the irrigation system is
either automatically or manually shut down.
d. The system must contain functional interlocking controls to automatically shut off the
pesticide injection pump when the water pump motor stops.
e. 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.
f. 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.
Maintain agitation in the supply tank while adding the required amount of AGM16002, and throughout
the application. AGM16002 should be added to the supply tank at the end of water application (prior
to last complete cycle in moving systems).
5
The correct amount of AGM16002 to add is calculated as the rate in fluid ounces per acre x the
number of acres covered by the contents of the supply tank.
(For example, if the supply tank covers ten acres and the rate on the label for that crop is 2 fluid
ounces per acre, add 10 x 2 = 20 fluid ounces to the suppl y tank at the beginning of the last full
cycle).
SPRINKLER CHEMIGATION

FOLIAR SPRAY PROGRAM FOR RICE
AGM16002 should be applied at 3.4 fluid ounces per acre as a foliar spray to the plant during either
one of the following stages of development.
Primary Recommendations - 3 to 7 Leaf Stage: This application mus t be made after the rice
seedling has 3 fully emerged leaves and the 4th leaf is beginning to emerge, but before the seedling
has completed development of 7 leaves or 3 tillers. This period for application generally begins
about 3-6 weeks after seeding an d ends 5- 9 weeks after seeding. The duration of this period
depends on the variety and the growing conditions. This application may be made in conjunction
with corresponding herbicide applications.
Alternate Recommendation - Two Millimeter (mm) Panicle Growth Stage: If the primary
application is missed, AGM16002 can be applied to stimulate cell differentiation in the developing
panicle. This application must be made when no more than 10% of the main culms are at the 2 mm
panicle growth stage. The 2 mm panicle growth stage occurs immediately after internode elongation
or joint movement has begun. AGM16002 must be applied as soon as internode elongation is
detected so the 2 mm panicle growth stage is not missed. It is better to apply slightly early than to
apply late. IMPORTANT: Timing of the application at 2 mm growth stage is critical. Check the
entire field for stage of plant development. Large fields may require split applications on upper and
lower ends of the field to ensure proper timing throughout the field.
TURFGRASS
On all turfgrass, regardless of use, use no more than 0.3 fluid ounce per 1,000 square feet per
month.
WARM SEASON TURF (Bermuda, Bermuda hybrids, Zoysia, Centipede, St. Augustine, etc.):
For lower traffic areas and where AGM16002 is used as a maintenance program, begin applications
early in the growing season. Apply at the rate of 0.1 to 0.2 fluid ounce per 1,000 square ft.
Maintenance application should be made on a two to three week schedule throughout the growing
season. Applications can be made with foliarly-applied urea for added benefits.
COOL SEASON TURF (Tall Fescue, Rye, Bentgrass, Bluegrass, etc.): Apply 0.2 fluid ounce per
1,000 square feet in fall, or when stand is established. Repeat application in late winter when
grasses begin to grow actively.
APPLICATION WITH FOLIARLY-APPLIED UREA: Maximum benefit and color can be achieved
when AGM16002 applications are made with foliarly -applied urea solutions. To prepare urea
solution, dissolve 46% urea into spray solution at the rate of 1.0 lb. per 5,000 square feet to be
sprayed and apply with specified rate of AGM16002.
SPECIFIC RATES OF APPLICATION
TEES AND GREENS: Apply 0.1 to 0.2 fluid ounce per 1,000 square feet on a 2 week schedule
throughout the growing season. Begin in early spring after grasses have begun to grow. Sunbelt
and transition zones should continue spray program throughout playing season. Courses north of
the transition zone should continue applications through September.
13
FAIRWAYS: Begin applications in early spring as soon as grasses have begun to actively grow.
Apply 0.1 fluid ounce per 1,000 square feet and repeat on a monthly schedule as long as grass is
growing.
PRE-TOURNAMENT QUICK GREEN-UP: Apply at the rate of 0.1 to 0.2 fluid ounce per 1,000
square feet in conjunction with urea solution 4 to 5 days prior to playing time. Make application with
a minimum spray volume of 0.5 gallon of water per 1,000 square feet.
SPRING DORMANCY BREAK: Apply 0.1 fluid ounce per 1,000 square feet in spring as soon as
new growth (opening) is visible. Raking of thatch prior to making this application is most desirable.
Application at this time generates rapid growth and often reduces incidence of “spring die back” on
certain species of grass.
FALL APPLICATION FOR WINTER HARDINESS: Make 2 applications 7- 10 days apart in late
summer or early fall just prior to the cessation of normal active growth. Apply 0.1 to 0.2 fluid ounce
per 1,000 square feet. Make application with a spray volume of 0.5 gallon of water per 1,000 square
feet. Applications at this time will greatly increase root mass and depth of roots. Winter kill problems
are often greatly reduced.
COMMERCIAL TURF, CEMETERIES, ATHLETIC FIELDS, GOLF COURSES, AND OTHER FINE
TURF AREAS: Applications of 0.1 to 0.2 fluid ounces per 1,000 square feet made at any point
during the growing season will produce desirable results. Make applications during the very early
growth stages and continue on a regular monthly schedule throughout the growing season.
Healthier and more beautiful turf can be realized in high traffic areas such as golf greens and tees by
making regular applications every two weeks.
SOD FARMS
Apply 4.2 to 8.4 fluid ounces per acre on a monthly basis during the growing season. Two weeks
prior to cutting sod, make an application of 4.2 to 8.4 fluid ounces per acre.
SPECIFIC RATES OF APPLICATION
After sod is cut, a reestablishment program is necessary. Start this program as soon as there is any
greening over 30% of the area. Spray with 4.2 to 8.4 fluid ounces per acre of AGM16002. Repeat in
2 weeks and thereafter once per month throughout the growing season. Make a final application of
4.2 to 8.4 fluid ounces per acre 2 weeks before dormancy.
Start the monthly program again as soon as some green-up has started in the spring.
When species started from seed have reached 1 inch in height, the monthly treatment may be
started and followed in the same way as non-seeded varieties.
SPECIAL NOTE FOR ALL DIRECT SEEDED GRASSES
Acting through its unique combination of plant growth regulators, AGM16002 is a ready-to-use seed
dressing that aids in enhancing germination and early season root and top growth.
AGM16002 can be used at the rate of 2.1 to 4.2 fluid ounces per 100 pounds of seed. Suff icient
water needs to be added to insure uniform cov erage. Improper coverage will minimize product
performance.

GENERAL CHEMIGATION INSTRUCTIONS
Apply this product only through sprinkler including center pi vot, lateral move, side (wheel) roll,
traveler, big gun, solid set, hand move, or furrow irrigation systems. Do not apply this product
through any other type of irrigation system.
Crop injury, lack of effectiveness, or illegal pesticide residues in the crop can result from non-uniform
distribution of treated water.
If you have questions about calibration, you should contact State Extension Service specialists,
equipment manufacturers or other experts.
Do not connect an irrigation system (including greenhouse systems) used for pesticide application to
a public water system unless the pesticide label prescribed safety devices for public water systems
are in place.
A person knowledgeable of the chemigation system and responsible for its operation, or under
supervision of the responsible person, shall shut the system down and make necessary adjustments
should the need arise.
Maintain agitation in the supply tank while adding the required amount of AGM16002, and throughout
the application. AGM16002 should be added to the supply tank at the end of water application (prior
to last complete cycle in moving systems).
Nov 07, 2022
1381-266
2
The correct amount of AGM16002 to add is calculated as the rate in fluid ounces per acre x the
number of acres covered by the contents of the supply tank.
(For example, if t he supply tank covers ten acres and the rate on the label for that crop is 2 fluid
ounces per acre, add 10 x 2 = 20 fluid ounces to the supply tank at the beginning of the last full
cycle).
CHEMIGATION SYSTEMS CONNECTED TO PUBLIC WATER SYSTEMS
Public wat er 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 out of the year.
Chemigation systems connected to public water systems must contain a functional, reduced-
pressure zone, backflow preventer (RPZ) or the functional equivalent in the water supply line
upstream from the point of pesticide introduction. As an option to the RPZ, the water from the public
water system should be 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 the top or overflow
rim of the reservoir tank of at least twice the inside diameter of the fill pipe.
The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional, automatic, quick -closing check valve to
prevent the flow of fluid back toward the injection pump.
The pesticide injection pipeline must 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 sy stem is either automatic ally or
manually shut down.
The system must contain functional interlocking controls to automatically shut off the pesticide
injection pump when the pump motor stops, or in cases where there is no water pump, when the
water pressure decreases to the point where pesticide distribution is adversely affected.
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 the pesticides and
capable of being fitted with a system interlock.
Do not apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the area intended for treatment.
The pesticide supply tank should be agitated throughout the application of AGM16002. AGM16002
should be applied at the end of the water application.
AGM16002 should be applied at the end of the irrigation period in a sufficient amount of water to
allow proper coverage of plant or crop but not to exceed 19.2 fluid ounces of AGM16002 per acre per
application.
SPRINKLER CHEMIGATION
The system must co ntain a functional check valve, vacuum relief valve, and low pressure drain
appropriately located on the irrigation pipeline to prevent water source contamination from backflow.
The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional, aut omatic, quick-closing check valve to
prevent the flow of fluid back toward the injection pump.
The pesticide injection pipeline must also contain a functional, normally closed, solenoid -operated
valve located on the intake side of the injection pump and c onnected 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.
3
The system must contain functional interlocking controls to automatically shut of f the pesticide
injection pump when the water pump motor stops.
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 a point where pesticide distribution is adversely
affected.
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 compa tible with a
system interlock.
Do not apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the area intended for treatment.
Maintain agitation in the supply tank while adding the required amount of AGM16002, and throughout
the application. AGM16002 should be added to the supply tank at the end of water application (prior
to last complete cycle in moving systems).
The correct amount of AGM16002 to add is calculated as the rate in fluid ounces per acre x the
number of acres covered by the contents of the supply tank.
(For example, if the supply tank covers ten acres and the rate on the label for that c rop is 2 fluid
ounces per acre, add 10 x 2 = 20 fluid ounces to the supply tank at the beginning of the last full
cycle).
AGM16002 should be applied at the end of the irrigation period in a sufficient amount of water to
allow proper coverage of plant or crop but not to exceed 19.2 fluid ounces of AGM16002 per acre per
application.
IMPORTANT: Read the entire "Directions for Use" and the "Noti ce" before using this product. If
terms are not acceptable, return the unopened product container at once.
DILUTION RATES
Apply AGM16002 by ground or air. If applied by air, use 3 to 5 gallons of water per acre. If applied
by ground on vegetable or field crops, use 5 to 25 gallons of water per acre. For tree crops, use 50
to 200 gallons of water per acre.

Higher rates and/or late season applications may be warranted under high stress conditions where
square and/or boll retention is needed. During the bloom and post -bloom period, additional
applications or higher rates can be applied but do not exceed a total of 25.5 fluid ounces per acre per
season.
FIELD CORN: Apply one or all of the following applications.
Apply 6.7 to 10.8 fluid ounces per acre at the 3 to 10 leaf stage.
AND/OR
Apply 6.7 fluid ounces per acre between initial silking and brown silk.
FLAX:
1st Application - Apply 3.4 fluid ounces per acre when the plant is 2-4 inches tall.
2nd Application - Apply an additional 3.4 fluid ounces per acre two to three weeks later.
7
GRAIN SORGHUM:
1st Application - Apply 3.4 fluid ounces per acre at the 3-5 leaf stage.
2nd Application - Apply 3.4 fluid ounces per acre after the 8th but before
the 12th leaf stage.
PEANUTS:
1st Application - Apply 3.4 fluid ounces per acre at the 3-5 leaflet stage.
2nd Application - Apply 3.4 fluid ounces per acre at early flowering.
3rd Application - Apply 3.4 fluid ounces per acre at initial pegging.
4th Application - Apply 5.0 fluid ounces per acre during early pod fill.
SOYBEANS: Apply according to one of the following schedules.
1) Apply 3.4 fluid ounces per acre at the 3-5 trifoliate leaf stage.
Apply a second application of 3.4 fluid ounces between R1 and R3.
2) If the first application is missed, apply 6.7 fluid ounces per acre between
R1 and R3.
SUGAR BEETS:
Foliar program:
1st Application - Apply 3.4 fluid ounces per acre between the 2
nd and 10th
true leaf stage.
2nd Application - Apply 3.4 fluid ounces per acre 2-3 weeks after the
first application.
SUGARCANE:
1st Application - Apply 3.4 fluid ounces per acre at the 2-3 leaf stage.
2nd Application - Apply 3.4 fluid ounces per acre one month after emergence.
Additional Applications - Apply 3.4 fluid ounces per acre on monthly intervals
throughout the production season for maximum benefit.
SUNFLOWERS:
Apply 3.4 fluid ounces per acre at 4-true leaves.
AND/OR
Apply an additional 3.4 fluid ounces per acre two to three weeks later.
WHEAT, BARLEY, OATS, AND RYE: Apply according to one of the following schedules.
1) Apply 4.7 to 6.3 fluid ounces per acre in-furrow at planting.
OR
2) If no at-planting application, apply 3.4 fluid ounces per acre prior to jointing.
Apply 3.4 fluid ounces at the flag leaf stage.
FOLIAR SPRAY PROGRAM FOR RICE
AGM16002 should be applied at 3.4 fluid ounces per acre as a foliar spray to the plant during either
one of the following stages of development.
Primary Recommendations - 3 to 7 Leaf Stage: This application mus t be made after the rice
seedling has 3 fully emerged leaves and the 4th leaf is beginning to emerge, but before the seedling
has completed development of 7 leaves or 3 tillers. This period for application generally begins
about 3-6 weeks after seeding an d ends 5- 9 weeks after seeding. The duration of this period
depends on the variety and the growing conditions. This application may be made in conjunction
with corresponding herbicide applications.
8
Alternate Recommendation - Two Millimeter (mm) Panicle Growth S tage: If the primary
application is missed, AGM16002 can be applied to stimulate cell differentiation in the developing
panicle. This application must be made when no more than 10% of the main culms are at the 2 mm
panicle growth stage. The 2 mm panicle growth stage occurs immediately after internode elongation
or joint movement has begun. AGM16002 must be applied as soon as internode elongation is
detected so the 2 mm panicle growth stage is not missed. It is better to apply slightly early than to
apply late. IMPORTANT: Timing of the application at 2 mm growth stage is critical. Check the
entire field for stage of plant development. Large fields may require split applications on upper and
lower ends of the field to ensure proper timing throughout the field.
