Image rebuild (skip scrape) / build (push) Failing after 1h37m12s
Dockerfile: self-contained image with corpus + Chroma + BM25 baked in. Drawbar's compose pulls + runs without volume mounts. Built from sources.json (labels schema), PRODUCT_NAME=crop_chem by default, HYBRID_SEARCH=true (always-on for production quality). RERANK_URL + OLLAMA_URL get set at compose time. .gitea/workflows/refresh.yml: monthly cron (1st @ 06:00 UTC) does full scrape → reindex → image push. Scrapes Bayer (~30 min) + EPA PPLS row-crop filtered (~7h). Skips reindex+push if no corpus diff. Tags pushed: :latest, :<sha12>, :corpus-<YYYY.MM.DD>. .gitea/workflows/image-only.yml: on-demand or auto on code-only pushes to main (paths: docs_mcp/, rag/, scrape/, requirements.txt, Dockerfile, sources.json). Reindexes from committed corpus, builds image, pushes. ~10 min vs ~9h full refresh. .gitignore: corpus/ now COMMITTED (4,159 labels, 265 MB of .md + sidecars). Lets image-only.yml rebuild indexes without re-scraping. chroma/ + bm25/ still gitignored (regenerable binary indexes). .dockerignore: drops venv, eval results, PLAN/README/CLAUDE.md, deploy/, .git/ — keeps the image lean. corpus + chroma + bm25 explicitly NOT in dockerignore (those go INTO the image).

ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS
|
||
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 wash water or rinsate.
|
||
|
||
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.
|
||
|
||
SURFACE WATER ADVISORY
|
||
This product may impact surface water quality due to runoff of rainwater. This is especially true for poorly draining soils a nd
|
||
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. A level, well-maintained vegetative buffer strip between areas to which this product
|
||
is applied and surface water features including ponds, streams, and springs will reduce the potential loading of mesotr ione
|
||
from runoff water and sediment. Runoff of this product will be reduced by avoiding applications when rainfall or irrigation i s
|
||
expected to occur within 48 hours.
|
||
|
||
GROUNDWATER ADVISORY
|
||
Mesotrione is known to leach through soil into groundwater under certain conditions as a result of label use. This
|
||
chemical may leach into groundwater if used in areas where soils are permeable, particularly where the water table is
|
||
shallow.
|
||
|
||
PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL HAZARDS
|
||
DO NOT use with or store near any oxidizing or reducing agents. DO NOT mix or allow coming in contact with oxidizing
|
||
agents or reducing agents. Hazardous chemical reaction may occur.
|
||
|
||
PRODUCT INFORMATION
|
||
MST 4 SC is a systemic pre-emergence and post-emergence herbicide for the selective contact and residual control
|
||
of broadleaf weeds in Field corn, Sorghum, and Soybeans . When used pre -emergence, weeds take up the product
|
||
through the soil during emergence. Dry conditions following application may reduce the pre-emergence activity of this
|
||
product. If an activating rain (0.25 inches) is not received within 7 to 10 days after a pre -emergence application,
|
||
where appropriate, rotary hoeing is suggested to activate the herbicide. When used post -emergence, susceptible
|
||
weeds take up the herbicide through the treated foliage and cease growth soon after application. Complete death of
|
||
the weeds may take up to 2 weeks. The product is absorbed through the soil and/or by the foliage of emerged weeds.
|
||
|
||
This product is not effective for the control of most grass weeds. Pre -emergence grass herbicides or post-emergence
|
||
grass herbicides can be tank-mixed with this product to provide broad spectrum weed control in corn (see appropriate
|
||
section of label for this information). This product can be applied post -emergence following a pre -emergence grass
|
||
herbicide application. This product can also be used in combination with a burndown herbicide prior to planting to
|
||
provide added burndown and residual weed control in Field corn, Sorghum, and Soybeans.
|
||
|
||

|
||
AGRICULTURAL USE REQUIREMENTS
|
||
Use this product only in accordance with its labeling and with the Worker Protection Standard (WPS), 40 CFR Part
|
||
170. This standard contains requirements for the protection of agricultural workers on farms, forests, nurseries,
|
||
greenhouses and handlers of agricultural pesticides. It contains requirements for training, decontamination,
|
||
notification and emergency assistance. It also contains specific instructions and exceptions pertaining to the
|
||
statements on this label about personal protective equipment (PPE) and restricted entry interval (REI). The
|
||
requirements in this box only apply to uses of this product that are covered by the WPS.
|
||
DO NOT enter or allow worker entry into treated areas during the restricted entry interval (REI) of 12 hours.
|
||
PPE required for early entry to treated areas that is permitted under the WPS and that involves contact with anything
|
||
that has been treated, including plants, soil or water is: Coveralls, chemical-resistant gloves and shoes plus socks.
|
||
NON-AGRICULTURAL USE REQUIREMENTS
|
||
The requirements in this box apply to uses of this product that are NOT within the scope of the Worker Protection
|
||
Standard, 40 CFR Part 170. The WPS applies when this product is used to produce agricultural plants on farms,
|
||
forests, nurseries, and greenhouses.
|
||
DO NOT enter treated areas until sprays have dried.
|
||
DIRECTIONS FOR USE
|
||
It is a violation of Federal law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling.
|
||
|
||
DO NOT apply this product in a way that will contact workers or other persons, either directly or through drift. Only
|
||
protected handlers may be in the area during application. For any requirements specific to your State or Tribe, consult
|
||
the agency responsible for pesticide regulation.
|
||
|
||
|
||
WEED RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT
|
||
Naturally occurring biotypes of certain broadleaf weed species with resistance to triazines, glyphosate, PPO, HPPD
|
||
and ALS inhibiting herbicides are known to exist. Performance of this product is not affected by the presence of biotypes
|
||
resistant to triazines, glyphosate, PPO or ALS inhibiting herbicides.
|
||
To prevent the risk of weeds developing resistance to this product in corn, always use full labeled rates. If applying this
|
||
product post-emergence after a mesotrione containing pre-emergence herbicide, always add atrazine as a tank-mix
|
||
partner. No more than 0.24 lb. of mesotrione active ingredient may be applied per acre of corn per year (equivalent of 7.7
|
||
fl. oz. of this product per acre per year). If additional herbicide must be applied, use a herbicide with a different mode of
|
||
action, i.e., other than an HPPD inhibitor (Group 27 Herbicide). Apply this product at full label rates to help prevent
|
||
selection for or population shifts toward marginally resistant weed species and/or species biotypes.
|
||
|
||
To delay herbicide resistance, take one or more of the following steps:
|
||
• Rotate the use of MST 4 SC or other Group 27 herbicides within a growing season sequence or among growing
|
||
seasons with different herbicide groups that control the same weeds in a field.
|
||
• Use tank mixtures with herbicides from a different group if such use is permitted; where information on resistance
|
||
in target weed species is available, use the less resistance -prone partner at a rate that will control the target
|
||
weed(s) equally as well as the more resistance -prone partner. Consult your local extension service or certified
|
||
crop advisor if you are unsure as to which active ingredient is currently less prone to resistance.
|
||
• Adopt an integrated weed -management program for herbicide use that includes scouting and uses historical
|
||
information related to herbicide use and crop rotation, and that considers tillage (or other mechanical control
|
||
methods), cultural (e.g., higher crop seeding rates; precision fertilizer application method and timing to favor the
|
||
crop and not the weeds), biological (weed-competitive crops or varieties) and other management practices.
|
||
• Scout before and after herbicide application to monitor weed populations for early signs of resistance
|
||
development. Indicators of possible herbicide resistance include: (1) failure to control a weed species normally
|
||
controlled by the herbicide at the dose applied, especially if control is achieved on adjacent weeds; (2) a
|
||
spreading patch of non-controlled plants of a particular weed species; (3) surviving plants mixed with controlled
|
||
individuals of the same species. If resistance is suspected, prevent weed seed production in the affected area
|
||
by an alternative herbicide from a different group or by a mechanical method like hoeing or tillage. Prevent
|
||
movement of resistant weed seeds to other fields by cleaning harvesting and tillage equipment when moving
|
||
between fields, and planting clean seed.
|
||
• If a weed pest population continues to progress after treatment with this product, discontinue use of this product,
|
||
and switch to another management strategy or herbicide with a different mode of action, if available.
|
||
• Contact your local extension specialist or certified crop advisors for additional pesticide resistance-management
|
||
and/or integrated weed-management directions for specific crops and weed biotypes.
|
||
• For further information or to report suspected resistance, contact a Bayer representative at 1-866-99BAYER (1-866-
|
||
992-2937).
|
||
|
||

|
||
INTEGRATED PEST (WEED) MANAGEMENT
|
||
Integrate this product into an overall weed and pest management strategy whenever the use of a herbicide is required.
|
||
Practices known to reduce weed development (tillage, crop competition) and herbicide use (weed scouting, proper
|
||
application timing, banding) must be followed wherever possible. Consult local agricultural and weed authorities for
|
||
additional IPM strategies established for your area.
|
||
|
||
RESTRICTIONS
|
||
• DO NOT apply this product to White popcorn or Ornamental (Indian) corn.
|
||
• DO NOT cultivate corn within 7 days before or after application of this product as weed control may be reduced.
|
||
• DO NOT apply this product through any type of irrigation system unless specified otherwise under the specific crop section
|
||
on the label.
|
||
• DO NOT apply this product with suspension fertilizers as the carrier.
|
||
• DO NOT use aerial application to apply this product.
|
||
|
||
|
||
USE PRECAUTIONS
|
||
• Post-emergence applications of this product in tank-mixes with emulsifiable concentrate grass herbicides may cause
|
||
severe corn injury or yield loss under adverse weather conditions.
|
||
• Severe corn injury resulting in yield loss may occur if this product is applied post-emergence to corn that was treated with
|
||
terbufos or chlorpyrifos.
|
||
• Severe corn injury resulting in yield loss may occur if this product is applied foliar post-emergence to corn in a tank mix
|
||
with any organophosphate or carbamate insecticide.
|
||
• Severe corn injury resulting in yield loss may occur if any organophosphate or carbamate insecticide is applied foliar post-
|
||
emergence within 7 days before or 7 days after application of this product.
|
||
• When weeds are stressed due to drought, heat, lack of fertility, flooding or prolonged cool temperatures, control can be
|
||
reduced or delayed since the weeds are not actively growing. Weed escapes or regrowth may occur when application is
|
||
made under prolonged stress conditions. Optimum weed control will be obtained if an application of this product is made
|
||
following label directions when weeds are actively growing.
|
||
• This product may be applied with pyrethroid type insecticides (e.g., lambda-cyhalothrin).
|
||
|
||
MANDATORY SPRAY DRIFT
|
||
|
||
Ground Boom Applications:
|
||
• DO NOT release spray at a height greater than 3 feet above the ground or crop canopy.
|
||
• Applicators must select nozzle and pressure that deliver medium or courser droplets in accordance with American Society
|
||
of Agricultural & Biological Engineers Standard 572 (ASABE S572).
|
||
• DO NOT apply when wind speeds exceed 15 mph at the application site.
|
||
• DO NOT apply during temperature inversions.
|
||
|
||
Boomless Ground Applications:
|
||
• Applicators must select nozzle and pressure that deliver medium or courser droplets in accordance with American Society
|
||
of Agricultural & Biological Engineers Standard 572 (ASABE S572).
|
||
• DO NOT apply when wind speeds exceed 15 miles per hour at the application site.
|
||
• 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 SIDES AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS.
|
||
• IMPORTANCE OF DROPLET SIZE:
|
||
An effective way to reduce spray drift is to apply large droplets. Use the largest droplets that provide target pest
|
||
control. While applying larger droplets will reduce spray drift, the potential for drift will be greater if applications
|
||
are made improperly or under unfavorable environmental conditions.
|
||
Controlling Droplet Size – Ground Boom
|
||
o 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.
|
||
o Pressure – Use the lowest spray pressure specified for the nozzle to produce the target spray volume
|
||
and droplet size.
|
||
o Spray Nozzle – Use a spray nozzle that is designed for the intended application. Consider using nozzles
|
||
designed to reduce drift.
|
||
Controlling Droplet Size – Aircraft
|
||
o Adjust Nozzles – Follow nozzle manufacturer’s directions for setting up nozzles. Generally, to reduce
|
||
fine droplets, nozzles must be oriented parallel with the airflow in flight.
|
||
|
||
6
|
||
• BOOM HEIGHT – Ground Boom
|
||
Use the lowest boom height that is compatible with the spray nozzles that will provide uniform coverage. For
|
||
ground equipment, the boom must remain level with the crop and have minimal bounce.
|
||
• SHIELDED SPRAYERS
|
||
Shielding the boom or individual nozzles can reduce spray drift. Consider using shielded sprayers. Verify that
|
||
the shields are not interfering with the uniform deposition of the spray on the target area.
|
||
• TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY
|
||
When making applications in hot and dry conditions, use larger droplets to reduce effects of evaporation.
|
||
• TEMPERATURE INVERSIONS
|
||
Drift potential is high during a temperature inversion. Temperature inversions are characterized by increasing
|
||
temperature with altitude and are common on nights with limited cloud cover and light to no wind. The presence
|
||
of an inversion can be indicated by ground fog or by the movement of smoke from a ground source or an aircraft
|
||
smoke generator. 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.
|
||
Avoid applications during temperature inversions.
|
||
• WIND
|
||
Drift potential generally increases with wind speed. AVOID APPLICATIONS DURING GUSTY WIND
|
||
CONDITIONS. Applicators need to be familiar with local wind patterns and terrain that could affect spray drift.
|
||
• Boom-less Ground Applications:
|
||
Setting nozzles at the lowest effective height will help to reduce the potential for spray drift.
|
||
• Handheld Technology Applications:
|
||
Take precautions to minimize spray drift.
|
||
|
||
|
||
WINDBLOWN SOIL PARTICLES
|
||
This product has the potential to move off -site due to wind erosion. Soils that are subject to wind erosion usually have a high
|
||
silt and/or fine to very fine sand fractions and low organic matter content. Other factors which can affect the movement of
|
||
windblown soil include the intensity and direction of prevailing winds, v egetative cover, site slope, rainfall, and drainage
|
||
patterns. Avoid applying this product if prevailing local conditions may be expected to result in off-site movement.
|
||
|
||
APPLICATION INFORMATION
|
||
PRE-EMERGENCE GROUND APPLICATION
|
||
Apply this product pre-emergence with a carrier volume of 10 to 60 gallons per acre.
|
||
Spray nozzles must be uniformly spaced, the same size and type and must provide accurate and uniform application.
|
||
Apply in a spray volume of 10 to 60 gallons per acre using water or liquid fertilizer (excluding suspension fertilizers) as
|
||
the carrier. Use a pump that can maintain a pressure of at least 35 to 40 psi at the nozzles and provide proper agitation
|
||
within the tank to keep the product dispersed. Lower pressures may be used with extended range or drift reduction
|
||
nozzles.
|
||
Always ensure that agitation is maintained until spraying is completed, even if stopped for brief periods of time. If the
|
||
agitation is stopped for more than 5 minutes, resuspend the spray solution by running on full agitation prior to spraying.
|
||
|
||
POST-EMERGENCE GROUND APPLICATION
|
||
Spray nozzles must be uniformly spaced, the same size and type, and must provide accurate and uniform application.
|
||
Good weed coverage is essential for optimum weed control.
|
||
Apply in a spray volume of 10 to 30 gallons per acre using water as a carrier. Use a pump that can maintain a pressure
|
||
of at least 35 to 40 psi at the nozzles and provide proper agitation within the tank to keep the product dispersed. Lower
|
||
pressures may be used with extended range or drift reduction nozzles. When weed foliage is dense, use a minimum of
|
||
20 gallons.
|
||
Flat fan nozzles of 80 o or 110o are advised for optimum post -emergence coverage. DO NOT use floodjet nozzles or
|
||
controlled droplet application equipment for post-emergence applications.
|
||
Nozzles may be angled forward 45o to enhance penetration of the crop and provide better coverage. Ensure that all in-
|
||
line strainer and nozzle screens in the sprayer are 50 mesh or coarser.
|
||
Always ensure that agitation is maintained until spraying is completed, even if stopped for brief periods of time. If the
|
||
agitation is stopped for more than 5 minutes, re-suspend the spray solution by running on full agitation prior to spraying.
|
||
|
||
SPRAY ADDITIVES
|
||
|
||
POST-EMERGENCE ADJUVANTS
|
||
The following directions for adjuvant are intended primarily for use of this product in corn.
|
||
Refer to the use directions section of each crop section for specific adjuvant directions.
|
||
|
||
POST-EMERGENCE APPLICATIONS TO FIELD CORN
|
||
For post-emergence applications made after the crop has emerged, add Crop Oil Concentrate (COC) to the spray
|
||
|
||
7
|
||
solution at the rate of 1 gallon per 100 gallons of water (1.0% v/v). The use of a Nonionic Surfactant (NIS) at 1 quart
|
||
per 100 gallons of water (0.25% v/v) instead of COC is allowed, but the weed control achieved with COC is consistently
|
||
better than NIS.
|
||
The use of Methylated Seed Oil (MSO) adjuvants or MSO blend adjuvants for post -emergence applications of
|
||
this product may cause severe crop injury to occur. DO NOT use MSO adjuvants for post-emergence use unless
|
||
directed for a specific tank -mix under the “THIS PRODUCT IN TANK -MIXTURES FOR CORN” section of this
|
||
label or unless permitted by a supplemental label for this product . In addition to COC, always add spray grade
|
||
Urea Ammonium Nitrate (UAN) (e.g., 28-0-0) to the spray solution at a rate of 2.5% (v/v) or Ammonium Sulfate (AMS)
|
||
at 8.5 pounds per 100 gallons of spray solution, except if precluded elsewhere on this label or by a supplemental label
|
||
for this product.
|
||
|
||
PRE-EMERGENCE ADJUVANTS
|
||
For pre-plant or pre-emergence applications of this product and where weeds are present, the use of any adjuvant for
|
||
agricultural use is permitted. In these situations, MSO type adjuvants are typically better than COC type adjuvants,
|
||
which are typically better than NIS type adjuvants for enhancing weed control. UAN or AMS can be added and typically
|
||
provides better weed control than not addi ng one of these. It is the pesticide user’s responsibility to ensure that all
|
||
products are registered for the intended use. Read and follow the applicable restrictions and limitations and directions
|
||
for use on all product labels involved in tank mixing. Users must follow the most restrictive directions for use and
|
||
precautionary statements of each product in the tank mixture.
|
||
|
||
SPRAY EQUIPMENT
|
||
Cleaning Equipment After Application of this Product
|
||
Special attention must be given to cleaning equipment before spraying a crop other than corn. Mix only as much spray
|
||
solution as needed.
|
||
1. Flush tank, hoses, boom and nozzles with clean water.
|
||
2. Prepare a cleaning solution of 1 gallon of household ammonia per 25 gallons of water. Many commercial spray tank
|
||
cleaners may be used.
|
||
3. Use a pressure washer to clean the inside of the spray tank with this solution. Take care to wash all parts of the tank,
|
||
including the inside top surface. If a pressure washer is not available, completely fill the sprayer with the cleaning
|
||
solution to ensure contact of the cleaning solution with all internal surfaces of the tank and plumbing. Start agitation
|
||
in the sprayer and thoroughly recirculate the cleaning solution for at least 15 minutes. All visible deposits must be
|
||
removed from the spraying system.
|
||
4. Flush hoses, spray lines and nozzles for at least 1 minute with the cleaning solution.
|
||
5. Dispose of rinsate from steps 1 to 3 in an appropriate manner.
|
||
6. Repeat steps 2 to 5.
|
||
7. Remove nozzles, screens and strainers and clean separately in the ammonia solution after completing the above
|
||
procedures.
|
||
8. Rinse the complete spraying system with clean water.
|
||
|
||
MIXING PROCEDURES
|
||
Refer to the “CROP USE DIRECTIONS” sections of this label for tank-mixes.
|
||
Always refer to labels of other pesticide products for mixing directions and precautions which may differ from those
|
||
outlined here. Use in accordance with the most restrictive of label limitations and precautions. No label dosage rates
|
||
may be exceeded. This product cannot be mixed with any product containing a label prohibition against such mixing.
|
||
DO NOT tank-mix this product with any other insecticide, fungicide, fertilizer solution or adjuvant not listed on the label
|
||
without testing compatibility as poor mixing may result. Test the compatibility of any tank -mix combination on a small
|
||
scale for example when a jar test is done before actual tank-mixing.
|
||
Follow the mixing instructions for adding this product to the spray tank:
|
||
|
||
1. Only use sprayers in good running condition with good agitation. Ensure the sprayer is cleaned according to
|
||
instructions on the label of the product used prior to this product. For post -emergence applications, use only clean
|
||
water for the spray solution. Ensure that all in-line strainer and nozzle screens in the sprayer are 50 mesh or coarser.
|
||
DO NOT use screens finer than 50 mesh.
|
||
2. Liquid fertilizer (excluding suspension fertilizers) may be used as the carrier for pre-emergence applications.
|
||
3. Begin to fill sprayer tank or premix tank with clean water and engage agitator. Agitation must be continued throughout
|
||
the entire mixing and spraying procedure.
|
||
4. When the sprayer or premix tank is half full of water, add AMS and agitate until completely dispersed.
|
||
5. Next, add this product slowly and agitate until completely dissolved. Wait at least 1 minute after the last of this product
|
||
has been added to the tank to allow for complete dispersion. A longer agitation period may be required to disperse
|
||
this product when using cold water from sources, for example, deep drilled wells.
|
||
6. If tank-mixing, add the tank-mix product next.
|
||

||
WEEDS CONTROLLED
|
||
This product applied as directed in this label will control or partially control the weeds listed in Tables 1 and 2.
|
||
Where reference is made to weeds partially controlled, partial control can either mean erratic control (good to poor) or
|
||
consistent control at a level below what is considered acceptable for commercial weed control.
|
||
For best post-emergence results, apply this product to actively growing weeds. Dry weather following pre-emergence
|
||
application of this product may reduce residual weed control effectiveness. If irrigation is available, apply 0.5 to 1 inch
|
||
of water after pre-emergence application. If irrigation is not available, make a uniform shallow cultivation as soon as
|
||
weeds emerge.
|
||
This product applied alone or in mixture with atrazine will not provide consistent or effective control of weeds identified
|
||
as resistant to post-emergence HPPD inhibiting herbicides.
|
||
Refer to the crop sections on this label for specific rates and use directions.

Pre-emergence Application
|
||
This product can be applied pre-emergence or pre-plant non-incorporated up to 21 days before planting sorghum for
|
||
control or partial control of the weeds listed in Table 2.
|
||
|
||
Apply this product pre -emergence at a rate of 6.0 to 6.4 fluid ounces ( 0.188 lb. a.i. to 0.2 lb. a.i.) per acre as a
|
||
broadcast non-incorporated application prior to sorghum emergence. Applying this product less than 7 days before
|
||
sorghum planting will increase the risk of crop injury especially if irrigation or rainfall is received following the
|
||
application. Injury symptoms include temporary bleaching of newly emerging sorghum leaves. Applying this product
|
||
more than 7 days (but not more than 21) prior to planting will reduce the risk of crop injury.
|
||
|
||
If this product is applied prior to planting, minimize disturbance of the herbicide treated soil barrier during the planting
|
||
process in order to lessen the potential for weed emergence. If emerged weeds are present at the time of the pre -
|
||
emergence application, it is advised that a Nonionic Surfactant (NIS) type adjuvant at a rate of 0.25% v/v or a Crop
|
||
Oil Concentrate (COC) type adjuvant at a rate of 1% v/v be added to the spray solution. In addition to COC or NIS,
|
||
a spray grade Urea Ammonium Nitrate (UAN) at a rate of 2.5% v/v or Ammonium Sulfate (AMS) at a rate of 8.5 pounds
|
||
per 100 gallons of spray solution can be added to the spray solution.
|
||
|
||
Restrictions for Pre-emergence Application
|
||
1. DO NOT apply more than 6.4 fluid ounces of this product (0.2 lb. a.i.) per acre per year.

|
||
Post-directed Application
|
||
This product can be applied post-directed to grain sorghum for control or partial control of the weeds listed in Table 1.
|
||
For best results, apply this product to actively growing weeds.
|
||
|
||
Apply this product at a rate of 3 fluid ounces (0.094 lb. a.i.) per acre as a post -directed application when the grain
|
||
sorghum is a minimum of 8 inches tall. Make the application by directing the spray between the c rop rows and
|
||
towards the base of the grain sorghum plant. Direct application of this product onto grain sorghum foliage can result in
|
||
crop injury including temporary bleaching. If crop injury does occur, newly emerging leaves following application are
|
||
typically unaffected.
|
||
Use a nonionic surfactant (NIS) type adjuvant at a rate of 0.25% v/v or a crop oil concentrate (COC) type adjuvant at a
|
||
rate of 1% v/v be added to the spray solution. In addition to COC or NIS, a spray grade Urea Ammonium Nitrate
|
||
(UAN) at a rate of 2.5% v/v or ammonium sulfate (AMS) at a rate of 8.5 pounds per 100 gallons of spray solution can
|
||
be added to the spray solution.
|
||
|
||
