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
|
||
F9324-9 is very toxic to algae and moderately toxic to fish. DO NOT apply directly to water, 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 waters or rinsate. DO NOT apply when weather conditions favor drift from target area. Drift and runoff
|
||
may be hazardous to aquatic organisms in water adjacent to treated areas.
|
||
|
||
Groundwater Advisory: The active ingredients in this product are known to leach through soil into groundwater under
|
||
certain conditions as a result of agricultural use. Use of this product in areas where soils are permeable, particularly
|
||
where the water table is shallow, may result in groundwater contamination.
|
||
|
||
Surface Water Advisory:
|
||
This product may impact surface water quality due to spray drift and runoff of rain water. This is especially true for
|
||
poorly draining soils and soils with shallow ground water. This product is classified as having high potential for
|
||
reaching surface water via runoff for several months 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 F9324-9 from runoff water and sediment. Runoff of this product will be reduced by
|
||
avoiding applications when rainfall is forecasted to occur within 48 hours. See the manual for "Conservation Buffers to
|
||
Reduce Pesticide Losses" at the following internet address:
|
||
http://www.wsi.nrcs.usda.gov/productsIW2Q/pest/core4.htmi.
|
||
|
||
Non-target Organism Advisory Statement:
|
||
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 minimizing
|
||
spray drift.

||
WEED RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT
|
||
F9324-9, contains two Group 14 (fluthiacet-methyl and fomesafen) herbicides based on the mode of action
|
||
classification system of the Weed Science Society of America.
|
||
Proactively implementing diversified weed control strategies to minimize selection for weed populations resistant to
|
||
one or more herbicides is a best practice. A diversified weed management program may include the use of multiple
|
||
herbicides with different sites of action and overlapping weed spectrum with or without tillage operations and/or other
|
||
cultural practices.
|
||
Research has demonstrated that using the labeled rate and directions for use is important to delay the selection for
|
||
resistance.
|
||
The continued effectiveness of this product depends on the successful implementation of a weed resistance
|
||
management program.
|
||
To aid in the prevention of developing weeds resistant to this product, users should:
|
||
• Scout fields before application to ensure herbicides and rates will be appropriate for the weed species and weed
|
||
sizes present.
|
||
• Start with a clean field, using either a burndown herbicide application or tillage.
|
||
• Control weeds early when they are relatively small (less than 4 inches).
|
||
• Apply full rates of F9324-9 for the most difficult to control weed in the field at the specified time (correct weed
|
||
size) to minimize weed escapes.
|
||
• Scout fields after application to detect weed escapes or shifts in control of weed species.
|
||
• Control weed escapes before they reproduce by seed or proliferate vegetatively.
|
||
• Report any incidence of non-performance of this product against a particular weed to your FMC representative,
|
||
local retailer, or county extension agent.
|
||
• Contact your FMC representative, crop advisor, or extension agent to find out if suspected resistant weeds to
|
||
this MOA have been found in your region. If resistant biotypes of target weeds have been reported, use the
|
||
application rates of this product specified for your local conditions. Tank mix products so that there are multiple
|
||
effective sites of actions for each target weed.
|
||
• If resistance is suspected, treat weed escapes with an herbicide having a site of action other than Group 14
|
||
and/or use nonchemical methods to remove escapes, as practical, with the goal of preventing further seed
|
||
production.
|
||
• 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.
|
||
Additionally, users should follow as many of the following herbicide resistance management practices as is practical:
|
||
• Use a broad spectrum soil-applied herbicide with other sites of action as a foundation in a weed control
|
||
program.
|
||
• Utilize sequential applications of herbicides with alternative sites of action.
|
||
• Rotate the use of this product with non-Group 14 herbicides.
|
||
• Avoid making more than two applications of F9324-9 and any other Group 14 herbicides within a single growing
|
||
season unless mixed with an herbicide with a different site of action with an overlapping spectrum for the
|
||
difficult-to-control weeds.
|
||
• Incorporate non-chemical weed control practices, including mechanical cultivation, crop rotation, cover crops
|
||
and weed-free crop seeds, as part of an integrated weed control program.
|
||
|
||
Page 6 of 20
|
||
|
||
• Use good agronomic principles that enhance crop development and crop competitiveness.
|
||
• Thoroughly clean plant residues from equipment before leaving fields suspected to contain resistant weeds.
|
||
Manage weeds in and around fields, during and after harvest to reduce weed seed production
|
||
|
||

Rainfastness
|
||
F9324-9 requires a 1 hour rain-free period for best results when applied postemergence.
|
||
Cultivation
|
||
Cultivation immediately prior to postemergence application is not recommended. Cultivation may put weeds under
|
||
stress, reducing weed control. Timely cultivation 1-3 weeks after applying F9324-9 may assist weed control.

Mixing F9324-9 Alone
|
||
1. Add 1/4-1/2 of the required amount of clean water to the spray or mixing tank.
|
||
2. With the agitator running, add the required amount of F9324-9 to the spray tank. Continue agitation in the spray
|
||
tank and allow product to fully and uniformly disperse.
|
||
3. Add the spray adjuvant and continue agitation while adding the rest of the water.
|
||
4. Maintain agitation until all of the mixture has been applied.
|
||
Mixing F9324-9 in Tank Mixtures with Other Pesticides
|
||
F9324-9 is compatible with most commonly used herbicides, insecticides, fungicides, and spray adjuvants. Follow
|
||
WALE (Wettable/dry, Agitate, Liquids, and Emulsifiable Concentrates) mixing guidelines. BEFORE MIXING F9324-9
|
||
WITH OTHER REGISTERED PRODUCTS FOR ANY USE ON THIS LABEL, READ THE LABEL OF THE TANK MIX
|
||
PARTNER TO BE CERTAIN IT IS LABELED FOR THE USE ON THE TARGET CROP AND THAT USE PATTERNS
|
||
ARE COMPATIBLE WITH THOSE OF F9324-9. When using F9324-9 in a tank mixture with other pesticides, observe
|
||
the most restrictive label limitations and precautions for the products being used.
|
||
Tank Mixing Steps
|
||
1. Add 1/4 -1/2 of the required amount of clean water to the spray or mixing tank.
|
||
2. While maintaining agitation, continue filling the spray tank. When the tank is 3/4 full, add any dry formulation tank
|
||
mix partners and allow them to completely and uniformly disperse.
|
||
3. Add the required amount of F9324-9 to the spray tank while maintaining agitation. After the product has completely
|
||
and uniformly dispersed into the tank mix, add any other liquid tank mix partners and allow them to completely and
|
||
uniformly disperse.
|
||
4. Add the proper amount of spray adjuvant and continue agitation while adding the remaining water.
|
||
5. Complete filling the tank with clean water and maintain sufficient agitation at all times to insure surface action until
|
||
the mixture is uniform.
|
||
6. After use, thoroughly clean the sprayer according to this label (see Cleaning Spray Equipment) and any tank mix
|
||
partner labels.
|
||
|
||
Compatibility Test
|
||
A jar test is recommended before mixing to ensure F9324-9 compatibility with tank mix partners and adjuvants. The
|
||
following test assumes a spray volume of 25 gallons per acre. For other spray volumes, make appropriate changes in
|
||
the ingredient rates.
|
||
1. Add 1.0 pt. of water to each of 2 one-quart jars.
|
||
Note: Use the same source of water and the other components in the compatibility test that will actually be tank
|
||
mixed and applied. It is important that all components are mixed at a temperature similar to the temperature of
|
||
those used for the actual application.
|
||
2. To one of the jars, add 1/4 tsp. or 1.2 milliliters of a compatibility agent approved for this use (1/4 tsp. is equivalent
|
||
to 2 pt/100 gallons spray). Shake or stir gently to mix.
|
||
3. To both jars, add the appropriate amount of herbicide(s). If more than one herbicide is used, add them separately
|
||
with dry herbicides first, flowables next, and emulsifiable concentrates last. Finally, add the appropriate amount of
|
||
any adjuvants that will be used. After each addition, shake or stir gently to thoroughly mix. The appropriate amount
|
||
of herbicides for this test follows:
|
||
|
||
Dry Herbicides and Adjuvants: For each pound to be applied per acre, add 1.4 tsp. to each jar.
|
||
|
||
Liquid Herbicides and Adjuvants: For each pint to be applied per acre, add 0.5 tsp. or 2.5 milliliters to each jar.
|
||
|
||
4. After adding all ingredients, put lids on and tighten, and invert each jar 10 times to mix. Let the mixtures stand 15-
|
||
30 minutes and look for separation, large flakes, precipitates, gels, heavy oil film on the jar, or other signs of
|
||
incompatibility. Determine if a compatibility agent is needed in the spray mixture by comparing the two jars. If either
|
||
mixture separates, but can be remixed readily, the mixture can be sprayed as long as good agitation is used. If the
|
||
mixtures are incompatible, test the following methods of improving compatibility.
|
||
a) Slurry the dry pesticide(s) in water before addition, or
|
||
b) Add 1/2 the compatibility agent to the water and the other 1/2 to the emulsifiable concentrate or flowable
|
||
pesticide before addition to the mixture. If incompatibility is still observed, DO NOT use the mixture.
|
||
After compatibility testing is complete, dispose of any pesticide wastes according to the Storage and Disposal section
|
||
of this label.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
|
||
Utilize a sprayer equipped with the appropriate nozzles providing optimum spray distribution and coverage at the
|
||
appropriate operating pressures. Utilize nozzles that produce minimal amounts of fine spray droplets to avoid spray
|
||
drift. Apply a minimum of 10 gallons of finished spray solution per acre by ground or 5 gallons by air. If a dense crop
|
||
and or weed canopy is present use a minimum of 20 gallons per acre of finished spray volume by ground application.
|
||
For best results apply F9324-9 with medium spray droplets. The sprayer should be properly calibrated to deliver the
|
||
appropriate volume of herbicide solution. Be aware that overlaps and slower ground speeds while starting, stopping or
|
||
turning while spraying may result in excessive application and subsequent crop response. Mix the amount which will
|
||
be used for spraying on that day.
|
||

MANDATORY SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT
|
||
|
||
Ground Boom Applications:
|
||
• Apply with the nozzle height recommended by the manufacturer, but no more than 3 feet above the ground or
|
||
crop canopy.
|
||
• For applications prior to the emergence of crops and target weeds, applicators are required to use a Coarse or
|
||
coarser droplet size (ASABE S572.1).
|
||
• For all other applications, applicators are required to use a Medium or coarser droplet size (ASABE S572.1).
|
||
• DO NOT apply when wind speeds exceed 10 miles per hour at the application site.
|
||
• DO NOT apply during temperature inversions.
|
||
|
||
Aerial Applications:
|
||
• DO NOT release spray at a height greater than 10 feet above the vegetative canopy, unless a greater
|
||
application height is necessary for pilot safety.
|
||
• For applications prior to the emergence of crops and target weeds, applicators are required to use a Coarse or
|
||
coarser droplet size (ASABE S572.1).
|
||
• For all other applications, applicators are required to use a Medium or coarser droplet size (ASABE S572.1).
|
||
• The boom length must not exceed 65% of the wingspan for airplanes or 75% of the rotor blade diameter for
|
||
helicopters.
|
||
• Applicators must use one-half swath displacement upwind at the downwind edge of the field.
|
||
• Nozzles must be oriented so the spray is directed toward the back of the aircraft.
|
||
• DO NOT apply when wind speeds exceed 10 miles per hour at the application site.
|
||
• DO NOT apply during temperature inversions.
|
||
|
||
|
||
SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT ADVISORIES
|
||
THE APPLICATOR IS RESPONSIBLE FOR AVOIDING OFF-SITE SPRAY DRIFT.
|
||
BE AWARE OF NEARBY NON-TARGET SITES 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
|
||
• 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.
|
||
• Pressure - Use the lowest spray pressure recommended for the nozzle to produce the target spray volume and
|
||
droplet size.
|
||
• Spray Nozzle - Use a spray nozzle that is designed for the intended application. Consider using nozzles
|
||
designed to reduce drift.
|
||
Controlling Droplet Size – Aircraft
|
||
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 – Ground Boom
|
||
Use the lowest boom height that is compatible with the spray nozzles that will provide uniform coverage. For ground
|
||
equipment, the boom should remain level with the crop and have minimal bounce.
|
||
|
||
RELEASE HEIGHT - Aircraft
|
||
Higher release heights increase the potential for spray drift. When applying aerially to crops, do not release spray at a
|
||
height greater than 10 ft above the crop canopy, unless a greater application height is necessary for pilot safety.
|
||
|
||
Page 16 of 20
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
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.
|
||
|
||
HANDHELD TECHNOLOGY APPLICATIONS:
|
||
Take precautions to minimize spray drift
|
||
|
||
DRIFT CONTROL ADDITIVES
|
||
Using product compatible drift control additives can reduce drift potential. When a drift control additive is used, read
|
||
and carefully observe cautionary statements and all other information on the additive’s label. If using an additive that
|
||
increases viscosity, ensure that the nozzles and other application equipment will function properly with a viscous spray
|
||
solution.
|
||
Preferred drift control additives have been certified by the Council of Producers & Distributors of Agrotechnology
|
||
(CPDA).

REPLANTING INSTRUCTIONS
|
||
If replanting is necessary in fields previously treated with F9324-9, the field may be replanted to cotton or soybeans if
|
||
the total amount of F9324-9 per year has not been exceeded. During replanting, a minimum of tillage is recommended
|
||
to preserve the herbicide barrier for effective weed control. DO NOT apply a second application of F9324-9 or other
|
||
fomesafen containing product as crop injury or illegal residues may occur in harvested crops. If tank-mix combinations
|
||
were used, refer to product labels for any additional replanting instructions.
|
||
|
||
CLEANING SPRAY EQUIPMENT
|
||
Many pesticides are very active at low rates, especially to sensitive crops Residues left in mixing equipment, spray
|
||
tanks, hoses, spray booms and nozzles can cause crop effects if they are not properly cleaned. As soon as possible
|
||
after spraying F9324-9 and before using the sprayer equipment for any other applications, the sprayer equipment must
|
||
be thoroughly cleaned using the following procedure. In addition, users must take appropriate steps to ensure proper
|
||
equipment clean-out for any other products mixed with F9324-9 as required on the other product labels. More
|
||
complete cleaning can be achieved if the spray system is cleaned immediately following the application.
|
||
1. Drain sprayer tank, hoses, spray boom and spray nozzles. Use a high-pressure detergent wash to remove physical
|
||
sediment and residues from the inside of the sprayer tank and thoroughly rinse. Then, thoroughly flush sprayer hoses,
|
||
spray boom and spray nozzles with a clean water rinse. Remove and clean spray tips and all filters and screens (tank,
|
||
spray hose and spray tips) separately in the ammonia solution of Step 2.
|
||
2. Next, prepare a sprayer cleaning solution by adding three gallons of ammonia (containing at least 3% active) per
|
||
100 gallons of clean water. Prepare sufficient cleaning solution to allow the operation of the spray system for a
|
||
minimum of 15 minutes to thoroughly flush hoses, spray boom and spray nozzles.
|
||
3. Convenient and thorough cleaning of the sprayer can be achieved if the ammonia solution or fresh water is left in
|
||
the spray tank, hoses, spray booms and spray nozzles overnight or during storage.
|
||
4. Before using the sprayer, completely drain the sprayer system. Rinse the tank with clean water and flush through
|
||
the hoses, spray boom, and spray nozzles with clean water. Remove and clean spray tips and all filters and screens
|
||
(tank, spray hose and spray tip) separately in an ammonia solution.
|
||
5. Properly dispose of all cleaning solution and rinsate in accordance with Federal, State, and local regulations and
|
||
guidelines.

||
DO NOT apply sprayer cleaning solutions or rinsate to sensitive crops.
|
||
If the sprayer sets overnight or for any extended period of time with F9324-9 spray solution, the spray tank needs to be
|
||
agitated and purge the spray boom and nozzles before beginning any application.
|
||
Should small quantities of F9324-9 remain in inadequately cleaned mixing, loading and/or spray equipment, they may
|
||
be released during subsequent applications potentially causing effects to certain crops and other vegetation. FMC
|
||
accepts no liability for any effects due to inadequately cleaned equipment.
|
||
When F9324-9 has been tank mixed refer to the label of the product used previously or tank mixed with F9324-9 for
|
||
cleaning instructions.
|
||
DO NOT drain of flush equipment on or near desirable trees or plants.
|
||
DO NOT contaminate any body of water including irrigation water that may be used on other crops.

PC: Partial control means significant activity but not always at a level considered acceptable for commercial weed control
|
||
aFor effective control of this weed it is necessary to use 1% MSO and 2.5% UAN v/v as an adjuvant in Regions 2 and 3 (soybeans only)
|
||
Some weeds have shown PPO resistance in different geographies. Utilize a different herbicide mode of action for their control.

|
||
Preplant Burndown Application:
|
||
Apply F9324-9 at 5 – 7.25 oz/A (0.1126 - 0.1633 lb ai/A fomesafen and 0.0046 - 0.0066 lb ai/A fluthiacet-methyl) with
|
||
other registered burndown herbicides or preemergence herbicides in water or liquid fertilizers as a burn-down
|
||
treatment to control or suppress weeds prior to planting of labeled crops (for in crop applications see crop sections).
|
||
F9324-9 must be tank mixed with the appropriate burndown herbicide such as glyphosate, glufosinate, paraquat, 2,4-
|
||
D, etc. for maximum burndown control. F9324-9 improves control, speed and desiccation of weeds when used as part
|
||
of a burndown tankmix. F9324-9 is a contact herbicide therefore thorough coverage is essential for adequate control.
|
||
For optimum performance make applications to actively growing weeds. Always use the most restrictive label language
|
||
when applied in a tank mix.
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
Postemergence Application:
|
||
When applied alone apply F9324-9 at 5 - 7.25 fl oz/A (0.1126 - 0.1633 lb ai/A fomesafen and 0.0046 - 0.0066 lb ai/A
|
||
fluthiacet-methyl) applied from preplant through the full flowering stage of development (prior to R3 stage). The spray
|
||
boom should be maintained a minimum of 18 inches above the crop canopy to ensure uniform spray delivery. For
|
||
optimum performance, make application to actively growing weeds up to 2 to 4 inches tall and rosettes less than 3
|
||
inches across. Coverage is essential for good control. Refer to Table 1 for weeds controlled at labeled rates of F9324-
|
||
9. Use 10 to 30 gallons per acre of finished spray solution by ground. For optimum weed control use higher gallonage
|
||
to obtain better spray coverage. Apply a minimum of 5 gallons of finished spray solution by aerial application.
|
||
|
||
|
||
Application after weeds have reached the listed maximum height for control could result in commercially unacceptable
|
||
weed control. Some bronzing, crinkling or spotting of soybean leaves may occur following postemergence applications,
|
||
but soybeans soon outgrow these effects and develop normally.
|
||
|
||
Tank Mixture Use:
|
||
Apply F9324-9 at 5 to 7.25 fl oz/A (0.1126 - 0.1633 lb ai/A fomesafen and 0.0046 - 0.0066 lb ai/A fluthiacet-methyl) in
|
||
combination with glyphosate, glufosinate or other registered soybean herbicides for improved postemergence control
|
||
of many broadleaf weeds such as Velvetleaf, Lambsquarters, Morningglory, Palmer pigweed, Waterhemp and others.
|
||
For adjuvant use refer to adjuvant use section.
|
||
|
||
|
||
Adjuvant Requirements:
|
||
Use either non-ionic surfactant (NIS) 0.25 to 0.5% by volume, crop oil concentrate (COC) 0.5 to 1% by volume,
|
||
methylated seed oil (MSO) 0.5 to 1% by volume, organo-silicone (OS) 0.25% by volume or an equivalent blended
|
||
adjuvant. COC or MSO are recommended under dry conditions and low relative humidity for in crop use and for all
|
||
burndown applications. MSO is known to enhance crop response under high relative humidity conditions. In addition to
|
||
an adjuvant, urea ammonium nitrate (UAN) at 1-2 qts./A or spray grade ammonium sulfate (AMS) at recommended
|
||
use rates may also be added to the spray solution. DO NOT use liquid fertilizer as the total carrier solution except for
|
||
preplant burndown applications.
|
||
|
||
Adjuvants for F9324-9 in Tank Mixtures with Other Herbicides
|
||
When tank mixing with other herbicides, use the adjuvant recommended for use with the tank mix partner. Follow all
|
||
restrictions and precautions of the most restricted product in the tank mix.
|
||
|
||
