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).

|
||
7. Apply ACCENT GOLOOI WOO spray mixture within 4
|
||
hours of mixing to avoid product degradation. If spray
|
||
mixture will not be applied within 4 hours and either 28-0-0
|
||
or ammonium sulfate was used as the nitrogen source, either
|
||
add I qt.lacre of 10-34-0 or 11-37-0, or a commercial tank
|
||
buffer that will raise the tank pH to 7.0. Ifl0-34-0 or \1-37-0
|
||
was used as the liquid nitrogen source, do not add additional
|
||
fertilizer or buffer solution to the spray tank.
|
||
8. If ACCENT GOLD® WOO is applied in multiple loads,
|
||
consider pre-slunying the ACCENT GOLOOI WDG in clean
|
||
water-prior to adding to the next load. This prevents the crop
|
||
oil concentrate from interfering with dissolution of the
|
||
ACCENT GOLD® WOO water soluble bags.

other pesticides. Use a clear glass quart jar with lid and mix
|
||
the tank mix ingredients in their relative proportions. Invert
|

the jar containing the mixture several times and observe the
|
||
mixture for approximately In hour. If the mixture ball-up,

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
|
||
AND BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITY
|
||
ACCENT GOLD® WDG is rainfast in six hours.
|
||
ACCENT GOLD® WDG rapidly inhibits the growth of
|
||
susceptible weeds, reducing weed competition within as
|
||
little as 6 hours after application. Susceptible plants are
|
||
controlled in 7-21 days.
|
||
Tbe degree and duration of control depend on spray
|
||
coverage. activating rainfall, weed spectrum, weed size,
|
||
growing conditions before and after treatment, soil
|
||
moisture, and adjuvant selection.
|
||
Adequate soil moisture is required for optimum activity.
|
||
Rainfall or sprinkler irrigation within 5 days will enhance
|
||
ACCENT GOLD® WDG residual activity. A timely
|
||
cultivation may be required for maximum weed control
|
||
without'an activating rain.
|
||
Treating weeds that exceed maximum label height or that
|
||
are under stress may result in incomplete control.
|
||
• Poor weed control or crop injury may result from
|
||
applications made to plants under stress from:
|
||
abnormally hot or cold weather
|
||
environmental conditions such as drought, water
|
||
saturated soils, hail damage, or frost
|
||
disease, insect, or nematode injury
|
||
prior herbicide, or carry-over from a previous year's
|
||
herbicide app lication
|
||
If the corn or weeds are under stress, delay application until
|
||
stress passes and both weeds and com resume active
|
||
growth. If weeds or com are beyond the maximum size
|
||
listed on this label, an application of DuPontHt ACCENT®
|
||
herbicide should be made. See the ACCENT® label for
|
||
tank mix partner information.
|
||
Applications should be made when minimum nighttime
|
||
temperatures are above 40°F and the maximum daytime
|
||
temperatures are below 92°F to maximize performance and
|
||
minimize the potential for crop injury.
|
||
Applications made during or inunediately following periods
|
||
of large day/night temperature fluctuations or where
|
||
daytime temperatures do not exceed 500 P may decrease
|
||
weed control and increase the potential for crop injury.

||
previous pesticide deposits before using ACCENT GOLD®
|
||
WDG and then properly cleaned out following application.
|
||
Clean all application equipment befure applying ACCENT
|
||
GOLD® WDG. Follow the cleanup procedures specified on
|
||
the label of the product previously sprayed. If no cleanup
|
||
procedure is provided, use the procedure that follows.
|
||
Immediately following applications of ACCENT GOLD®
|
||
WDG, thoroughly clean all mixing and spray equipment to
|
||
avoid subsequent crop injury.
|
||
Note:
|
||
• When cleaning spray equipment before applying ACCENT
|
||
GOLD® WDG, read and follow label directions for proper
|
||
rinsate disposal of the product previously sprayed.
|
||
• When spraying or mixing equipment will be used over an
|
||
extended period to apply multiple loads of ACCENT GOLD®
|
||
WDG, partially fill the tank with fresh water at the end of each
|
||
day of spraying, flush the boom and hoses, and allow to sit
|
||
overnight
|
||
Cleanup Procedure
|
||
I. Drain the tank and thoroughly hose down the interior
|
||
surfaces. Flush the tank, hoses, and boom with clean
|
||
water for a minimum of 10 min.
|
||
2. Partially fiU the tank with clean water and add one gal of
|
||
household ammonia* (containing 3% active) for every
|
||
100 gal of water. Finish filling the tank with water, then
|
||
flush the cleaning solution through the hoses, boom, and
|
||
nozzles. Add more water to completely fill the tank and
|
||
allow to agitate/recirculate for at least 15 min. Again,
|
||
flush the hoses, boom, and nozzles with the cleaning
|
||
solution, then drain the tank.
|
||
3. Repeat Step 2.
|
||
4. Remove the nozzles and screens and clean separately in a
|
||
bucket containing the cleaning agent and water.
|
||
5. Thoroughly rinse the tank with clean water for a
|
||
minimum of 5 min, flushing the water through the hoses
|
||
and boom.
|
||
·Equivalent amounts of an alternate strength ammonia solution or
|
||
a tank c1eaner recommended in the DuPont bulletin
|
||
"Sulfonylurea Herbicides, A Guide to Equipment Cleanout,"
|
||
may be used.
|
||
SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT
|
||
The interaction of many equipment and weather-related
|
||
factors determines the potential for spray drift. The applicator
|
||
is responsible for considering all these factors when making
|
||
application decisions.
|
||
AVOIDING SPRAY DRIFT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF
|
||
THE APPLICATOR.
|
||
IMPORTANCE OF DROPLET SIZE
|
||
The most effective way to reduce drift potential is to apply
|
||
large droplets (> 150·200 microns). The best drift
|
||
management strategy is to apply the largest droplets that
|
||
provide sufficient coverage and control. The presence of
|
||
sensitive species nearby, the environmental conditions. and
|
||
pest pressure may affect how an applicator balances drift
|
||
control and coverage. APPLYING LARGER DROPLETS
|
||
REDUCES DRIFT POTENTIAL, BUT WILL NOT
|
||
PREVENT DRlFf IF APPLICATIONS ARE MADE
|
||
IMPROPERLY OR UNDER UNFAVORABLE
|
||
ENVIRONMENTALCONDmONS! See Wind,
|
||
Temperature and Humidity, and Temperature Invemons
|
||
sections of this label.
|
||
Controlling Droplet Size· General Techniques
|
||
Volume - Use high flow rate nozzles to apply the bighest
|
||
practical spray volume. Nozzles with higher rated flows
|
||
produce larger droplets.
|
||
Pressure - Use the lower spray pressures recommended
|
||
for the nozzle. Higher pressure reduces droplet size and
|
||
does not improve canopy penetration. WHEN HIGHER
|
||
FLOW RATES ARE NEEDED, USE A HIGHER
|
||
CAPACITY NOZZLE INSTEAD OF INCREASING
|
||
PRESSURE.
|
||
Nozzle Type - Use a nozzle type that is designed for the
|
||
intended application. With most nozzle types, narrower
|
||
spray angles produce larger droplets. Consider using low
|
||
drift nozzles.
|
||
BOOM HEIGHT
|
||
Setting the boom at the lowest labeled height (if specified)
|
||
which provides uniform c"veragereduces the exposure of
|
||
droplets to evaporation and wind. For ground equipment,
|
||
the boom should remain level ,,;th the crop and have
|
||
minimal bounce.
|
||
WIND
|
||
Drift potential increases at wind speeds ofless than 3 mph
|
||
(due to inversion potential) or more than 10 mph. However,
|
||
many factors, including droplet size and equipment type
|
||
determine drift potential at any given wind speed. AVOID
|
||
GUST~ OR WINDLESS CONDmONS.
|
||
Note: Local terrain can influence wind patterns. Every
|
||
applicator should be familiar with local wind patterns and
|
||
how they affect spray drift.
|
||
TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY
|
||
When making applications in hot and dry conditions. set up
|
||
equipment to produce larger droplets to reduce effects of
|
||
evaporation.
|
||
8
|
||
TEMPERATURE INVERSIONS
|
||
Drift potential is high during a temperature inversion.
|
||
Temperature inversions restrict vertical air mixing, which
|
||
causes small suspended droplets to remain clo~tb.thy
|
||
ground and move laterally in a c~M~~ted claM .•
|
||
Temperature inversions are charictenzM by increasing
|
||
temperature with altitude and an: cemm:m on nights with
|
||
limited cloud cover and light to no :m~~. They begin ,to
|
||
form as the sun sets and often continue into tht mo~ni-,.lg.
|
||
Their presence can be indicated by ~~ljnd fog; however, if
|
||
fog is not present, inversions can &l'su \)e identifi.e,Q, by the
|
||
movement of smoke from a ground source or.:ll\ llirc,:raft
|
||
smoke generator. Smoke that layers and move;; lateaaUy in
|
||
a concentrated cloud (under low wind conditioos)·ln7iicates
|
||
|
||
an inversion, while smoke that moves upward and rapidly
|
||
dissipates indicates good vertical air mixing.
|
||
SHIELDED SPRAYERS
|
||
Shielding the boom or individual nozzles can reduce the
|
||
effects of wind. However, it is the responsibility of the
|
||
applicator to verify that the shields are preventing drift and
|
||
not interfering with uniform deposition of the product.
|
||
WEED RESISTANCE
|
||
When herbicides with the same mode of action are used
|
||
repeatedly over several years to control the same weed
|
||
species in the same field, naturally-occurring resistant weed
|
||
biotypes may survive a correctly applied herbicide
|
||
treatroent, propagate, and become dominant in that field.
|
||
These resistant weed biotypes may not be adequately
|
||
controlled. Cultural practices such as tillage, preventing
|
||
weed escapes from going to seed, and using herbicides with
|
||
different modes of action within and between crop seasons
|
||
can aid in delaying the proliferation and possible dominance
|
||
of herbicide resistant weed biotypes.
|
||
INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT
|
||
DuPont recommends the use of Integrated Pest Management
|
||
(\PM) programs to control pests. This product may be used
|
||
as part of an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) program
|
||
which can include biologica~ cultural, and genetic practices
|
||
aimed at preventing economic pest damage. Application of
|
||
this product should be based on IPM principles and
|
||
practices including field scouting or other detection
|
||
methods, correct target pest identification, popUlation
|
||
monitoring, and treating when target pest populations reach
|
||
locally determined action thresholds. Consult your state
|
||
cooperative extension service, professional consultants or
|
||
other qualified authorities to determine appropriate action
|
||
treatment threshold levels for treating specific pest/crop
|
||
systems in your area.
