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).

|
||
brought to our attention that a website contains false or misleading statements or claims
|
||
substantially differing from the EPA approved registration, the website will be referred to the
|
||

|
||
|
||
If this container contains over 1 gallon and less than 5 gallons, mixers and loaders who do not use a mechanical system
|
||
(probe and pump) to transfer the contents of this container must wear coveralls or a chemical-resistant apron in addition
|
||
to the other require PPE.
|
||
|
||
Follow manufacturer's instructions for cleaning/maintaining PPE. If no such instructions for washables, use detergent and
|
||
hot water. Keep and wash PPE separately from other laundry. After each day of use, clothing or PPE must not be re-
|
||
used until it has been cleaned.
|
||
Engineering Controls Statements
|
||
If this container contains 5 gallons or more in capacity, do not open pour. A mechanical system (such as a probe and
|
||
pump or spigot) must be used for transferring the contents of this container. If the contents of a non-refillable pesticide
|
||
container are emptied, the probe must be rinsed before removal. If the mechanical system is used in a manner that
|
||
meets the requirements listed in the Worker Protection Standard (WPS) for agricultural pesticides [40 CFR 170.240 (d)
|
||
(4)], the handler PPE requirements may be reduced or modified as specified in the WPS.
|
||
|
||
When handlers use enclosed cabs, or aircraft in a manner that meets the requirements listed in the Worker Protection
|
||
Standard (WPS) for agricultural pesticides [40 CFR 170.240 (d)(4-6)], the handler PPE requirements may be reduced or
|
||
modified as specified in the WPS.
|
||
|
||
USER SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS
|
||
Users should:
|
||
- Remove clothing immediately if pesticide gets inside. Then wash thoroughly and put on clean clothing.
|
||
- Remove PPE immediately after handling this product. Wash the outside of gloves before removing. As soon as
|
||
possible, wash thoroughly and change into clean clothing.
|
||
|
||
|
||
ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS
|
||
For terrestrial uses: This product may be toxic to fish and aquatic invertebrates. Do not apply directly to water, or to areas
|
||
where surface water is present or to intertidal areas below the mean high water mark except as noted on appropriate
|
||
labels. Drift and runoff may be hazardous to aquatic organisms in water adjacent to treated areas. Do not contaminate
|
||
water when disposing of equipment washwaters or rinsate.
|
||
|
||
This chemical has properties and characteristics associated with chemicals detected in groundwater. The use of this
|
||
chemical in areas where soils are permeable, particularly where the water table is shallow, may result in groundwater
|
||
contamination. Application around a cistern or well may result in contamination of drinking water or groundwater.
|
||
|
||
Filename: Weed Rhap A-6D Herbicide (5905-503) 071318 CLN.doc 3
|
||
For aquatic uses:
|
||
Fish breathe dissolved oxygen in the water and decaying weeds also use oxygen. When treating continuous, dense weed
|
||
masses, it may be appropriate to treat only part of the infestation at a time. For example, apply the product in lanes
|
||
separated by untreated strips that can be treated after vegetation in treated lanes has disintegrated. During the growing
|
||
season, weeds decompose in a 2 to 3 week period following treatment. Begin treatment along the shore and proceed
|
||
outwards in beds to allow fish to move into untreated areas. Waters having limited and less dense weed infestations may
|
||
not require partial treatments.
|
||
|
||
GROUNDWATER CONTAMINATION
|
||
Most cases of groundwater contamination involving phenoxy herbicides such as 2,4-D have been associated with
|
||
mixing/loading and disposal sites. Caution should be exercised when handling 2,4-D pesticides at such sites to prevent
|
||
contamination of groundwater supplies. Use of closed systems for mixing or transferring this pesticide will reduce the
|
||
probability of spills. Placement of the mixing/loading equipment on an impervious pad to contain spills will help prevent
|
||
groundwater contamination.
|
||
|
||
CHEMIGATION PROHIBITION
|
||
Do not apply this product through any type of irrigation system.
|
||
|
||
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.
|
||
|
||

|
||
This product can reach groundwater as a result of mixing and loading. To minimize groundwater contamination from spills
|
||
during mixing, loading, and cleaning of equipment, take the following steps:
|
||
|
||
Mixing and Loading:
|
||
The mixing and loading of spray mixtures into the spray equipment must be carried out on an impervious pad (i.e.,
|
||
concrete slab, plastic sheeting) large enough to catch any spilled material. If spills occur, contain the spill by using an
|
||
absorbent material (e.g., sand, earth, or synthetic absorbent). Dispose of the contaminated absorbent material by placing
|
||
in a plastic bag and following disposal instructions on this label.
|
||
|
||
Cleaning of Equipment: When cleaning equipment, do not pour the washwater on the ground; spray or drain over a
|
||
large area away from wells and other water sources.
|
||
|
||
SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT
|
||
A variety of factors including weather conditions (e.g., wind direction, wind speed, temperature, relative humidity) and
|
||
method of application (e.g., ground, aerial, airblast, chemigation) can influence pesticide drift. The applicator must
|
||
evaluate all factors and make appropriate adjustments when applying this product.
|
||
|
||
Droplet Size
|
||
When applying sprays that contain 2,4-D as the sole active ingredient, or when applying sprays that contain 2,4-D mixed
|
||
with active ingredients that require a Coarse or coarser spray, apply only as a Coarse or coarser spray (ASABE standard
|
||
572) or volume mean diameter of 385 microns or greater for spinning atomizer nozzles.
|
||
|
||
When applying sprays that contain 2,4-D mixed with other active ingredients that require a Medium or more fine spray,
|
||
apply only as a Medium or coarser spray (ASABE standard 572) or a volume mean diameter of 300 microns or greater for
|
||
spinning atomizer nozzles.
|
||
|
||
Wind Speed
|
||
Do not apply at wind speeds greater than 15 mph. Only apply this product if the wind direction favors on-target deposition
|
||
and there are not sensitive areas (including, but not limited to, residential areas, bodies of water, known habitat for
|
||
nontarget species, nontarget crops) with 250 feed downwind. If applying a Medium spray, leave one swath unsprayed at
|
||
the downwind edge of the treated field.
|
||
|
||
Temperature Inversions
|
||
If applying at wind speeds less than 3 mph, the applicator must determine if: a) conditions of temperature inversion exist,
|
||
or b) stable atmospheric conditions exist at or below nozzle height. Do not make applications into areas of temperature
|
||
inversions or stable atmospheric conditions.
|
||
|
||
Susceptible Plants
|
||
Do not apply under circumstances where spray drift may occur to food, forage, or other plantings that might be damaged
|
||
or crops thereof rendered unfit for sale, use, or consumption. Susceptible crops including, but are not limited to, cotton,
|
||
okra, flowers, grapes (in growing stage), fruit trees (foliage), soybeans (vegetable stage), ornamentals, sunflowers,
|
||
tomatoes, beans, and other vegetables, or tobacco. Small amounts of spray drift that might not be visible may injure
|
||
susceptible broadleaf plants.
|
||
|
||
Other State and Local Requirements
|
||
Applicators must follow all state and local pesticide drift requirements regarding application of 2,4-D herbicides. Where
|
||
states have more stringent regulations, they must be observed.
|
||
|
||
Equipment
|
||
|
||
All aerial and ground applications equipment must be properly maintained and calibrated using appropriate carriers or
|
||
surrogates.
|
||
|
||
The boom length must not exceed 75% of the wingspan or 90% of the rotor blade diameter.
|
||
|
||
Release spray at the lowest height consistent with efficacy and flight safety. Do not release spray at a height greater than
|
||
10 fees above the crop canopy unless a greater height is required for aircraft safety. This requirement does not apply to
|
||
forestry or rights-of-way applications.
|
||
|
||
Filename: Weed Rhap A-6D Herbicide (5905-503) 071318 CLN.doc 6
|
||
|
||
When applications are made with a crosswind, the swath will be displaced downwind. The applicator must compensate for
|
||
this by adjusting the path of the aircraft upwind.
|
||
|
||
Do not apply with a nozzle height greater than 4 feet above the crop canopy.
|
||
|
||
Resistance Management Recommendations
|
||
|
||
For resistance management, Weed Rhap A-6D is a Group 4 herbicide. Any weed population may contain or develop
|
||
plants naturally resistant to Weed Rhap A-6D and other Group 4 herbicides. The resistant biotypes may dominate the
|
||
weed population if these herbicides are used repeatedly in the same field. Appropriate resistance management strategies
|
||
should be followed.
|
||
|
||
To delay herbicide resistance take one or more of the following steps:
|
||
|
||
• Rotate the use of Weed Rhap A-6D or other Group 4 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 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 such as 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 recommendations for specific crops and weed biotypes.

|
||
|
||
Fields should be scouted prior to application to identify the weed species present and their growth stage to determine if
|
||
the intended application will be effective.
|
||
|
||
Fields should be scouted after application to verify that the treatment was effective.
|
||
|
||
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.
|
||
|
||
Report any incidence of non-performance of this product against a particular weed species to your Helena Agri-
|
||
Enterprises, LLC retailer, representative or call 901-761-0050. If resistance is suspected, treat weed escapes with an
|
||
|
||
Filename: Weed Rhap A-6D Herbicide (5905-503) 071318 CLN.doc 7
|
||
herbicide having a different mechanism of action and/or use non-chemical means to remove escapes, as practical, with
|
||
the goal of preventing further seed production.
|
||
|
||
Plant into weed-free fields and keep fields as weed-free as possible.
|
||
|
||
To the extent possible, use a diversified approach toward weed management. Whenever possible incorporate multiple
|
||
weed-control practices such as mechanical cultivation, biological management practices, and crop rotation.
|
||
|
||
Fields with difficult to control weeds should be rotated to crops that allow the use of herbicides with alternative
|
||
mechanisms of action or different management practices.
|
||
|
||
To the extent possible do not allow weed escapes to produce seeds, roots or tubers. Manage weed seeds at harvest and
|
||
post-harvest to prevent a buildup of the weed seedbank.
|
||
|
||
Prevent field-to-field and within-field movement of weed seed or vegetative propagules. Thoroughly clean plant residues
|
||
from equipment before leaving fields.
|
||
|
||
Prevent an influx of weeds into the field by managing field borders.
|
||
|
||
Identify weeds present in the field through scouting and field history and understand their biology. The weed-control
|
||
program should consider all of the weeds present.
|
||
|
||
Difficult to control weeds may require sequential applications of herbicides with differing mechanisms of action.
|
||
|
||
Apply this herbicide at the correct timing and rate needed to control the most difficult weed in the field.
|
||
|
||
Use a broad spectrum soil-applied herbicide with a mechanism of action that differs from this product as a foundation in a
|
||
weed-control program. Do not use more than two applications of this or any other herbicide with the same mechanism of
|
||
action within a single growing season unless mixed with an herbicide with another mechanism of action with an
|
||
overlapping spectrum for the difficult-to-control weeds.
|
||
|
||
If resistance is suspected, treat weed escapes with an herbicide with a different MOA or use non-chemical methods to
|
||
remove escapes.

PRODUCT INFORMATION
|
||
Performance of this product may be affected by local conditions, crop varieties, and application method. User should
|
||
consult local extension service, agricultural experiment, or university weed specialists, and state regulatory agencies for
|
||
recommendations in your area.
|
||
|
||
Best results are obtained when product is applied to young succulent weeds that are actively growing. Use the lower
|
||
specified application rates on susceptible annual weeds. For perennial weeds and conditions such as the very dry areas
|
||
of the western states, where control is difficult, the higher specified application rates should be used.
|
||
|
||
When product is used for weed control in crops, the growth stage of the crop must be considered.
|
||
|
||
Some plants and weeds, especially woody varieties, are difficult to control and may require repeat applications. Apply at 1
|
||
to 5 gallons of total spray by air or 5 to 25 gallons by ground equipment unless otherwise directed. In either case, use the
|
||
same amount of 2,4-D listed per acre. For crop uses, do not mix with oil, surfactants, or other adjuvants unless specifically
|
||
specified on label. To do so may reduce herbicides selectivity and could result in crop damage.
|
||
|
||
Aerial application should be used only when there is no danger of drift to susceptible crops. Many states have regulations
|
||
concerning aerial application of 2,4-D formulations. Consult local regulatory authorities before making applications. Weed
|
||
Rhap® A-6D contains the Dimethylamine salt of 2,4-D, one of the least volatile forms of 2,4-D.
|
||
|
||
Because coarse sprays are less likely to drift than fine, do not use equipment (such as hollow cone small orifice nozzles)
|
||
or conditions (such as high pressure) that produce such sprays.
|
||
Product should not be allowed to come into contact with desirable, susceptible plants such as beans, cotton, fruit trees,
|
||
grapes, legumes, ornamentals, peas, tomatoes, and other vegetables. Product should not be used in greenhouses.
|
||
Excessive amounts of this product in the soil may temporarily inhibit seed germination and all plant growth.

|
||
|
||
Users should note that herbicide treatment of public water requires a permit from appropriate state agencies in most
|
||
states. Your state Conservation Department, or Game and Fish Commission will aid you in securing a permit in your state.
|
||
|
||
If stored below freezing, product should be warmed to at least 40oF and agitated before using. This does not affect the
|
||
efficacy of the product.
|
||
|
||
Spray equipment used to apply 2,4-D should not be used for any other purpose until thoroughly cleaned with a suitable
|
||
chemical cleaner.
|
||
|
||
Spray Preparation: Add the specified amount of product to approximately one-half the volume of water to be used for
|
||
spraying. Agitate well, then add the remainder of the water. Continue agitation during application until spray tank is empty.
|
||
|
||
Use in Liquid Nitrogen Fertilizer: Product may be combined with liquid nitrogen fertilizer suitable for foliar application on
|
||
corn, grass, pastures, or small grains in one operation. Use Weed Rhap® A-6D according to directions on this label for
|
||
those crops. Use liquid nitrogen fertilizer at rates recommended by supplier or extension service specialist. Mix the Weed
|
||
Rhap® A-6D and fertilizer according to the following instructions:
|
||
|
||
Fill the spray tank approximately 1/2 full with the liquid nitrogen fertilizer. In a separate container, mix the amount of Weed
|
||
Rhap® A-6D to be used with an equal amount of water. Add Weed Rhap® A-6D mixture to the spray tank while agitating.
|
||
Add the remainder of the liquid fertilizer while continuing to agitate. Apply immediately, maintaining agitation during
|
||
application until tank is empty. DO NOT APPLY DURING COLD (NEAR FREEZING) WEATHER. Spray mixture must be
|
||
used immediately and may not be stored.
|
||
|
||
NOTE: Pre-mixing the Weed Rhap® A-6D with an equal amount of water is important.
|
||

NON-CROPLAND SITES (Airfields, roadsides, vacant lots, drainage ditch banks, fence rows, industrial sites and similar
|
||
areas)
|
||
ANNUAL AND PERENNIAL BROADLEAF WEEDS: Use 1.3 to 4 pints of Weed Rhap® A-6D per acre. Usually 2.66
|
||
pints per acre will give adequate control. Do not use on herbaceous ground covers or creeping grass such as Bentgrass.
|
||
Legumes will usually be damaged or killed. Deep-rooted perennials may require repeat applications. Do not use on freshly
|
||
seeded turf until grass is well established. Delay reseeding for 3 months or until 2,4-D has disappeared from soil.
|
||
|
||
WOODY PLANT CONTROL: To control woody plants susceptible to 2,4-D, such as alder, buckbrush, elderberry, sumac,
|
||
and willow on non-crop areas, use 2.66 to 4 pints of Weed Rhap® A-6D per acre in 100 gallons of water. Wet all parts of
|
||
the plants thoroughly, including stem and foliage, to the point of run off. Higher volumes of up to 400 gallons per acre are
|
||
necessary where the brush is very dense and over 6 to 8 feet high. Applications are more effective when made on actively
|
||
growing plants. Treatment should not be made during time of severe drought or in early Fall when leaves lose their green
|
||
color. Hard to control species may require re-treatment next season.
|
||
TREE INJECTION: For the control of unwanted hardwoods such as elm, oak, hickory, and sweetgum in forest and other
|
||
non-crop areas, apply undiluted Weed Rhap® A-6D by injecting 2/3 ml through the bark, using one injection per inch of
|
||
trunk diameter measured at breast height (4 1/2 feet). For harder to control species (ash, maple, dogwood), use 1-1/3 ml
|
||
of undiluted Weed Rhap® A-6D per injection. All injections should be as near the root collar as possible and should be
|
||
evenly spaced around the trunk. Injections may be made at any time of the year but are most effective during the growing
|
||
season. Maples should not be treated during the spring sap rise.

|
||
Water Use
|
||
1. Water for irrigation or sprays:
|
||
A. If treated water is intended to be used only for crops or non-crop areas that are labeled for direct treatment of 2,4-
|
||
D such as pastures, turf, or cereal grains, the treated water may be used to irrigate and/or mix sprays for these
|
||
sites at anytime after the 2,4-D aquatic application.
|
||
B. Due to potential phytoxicity considerations, the following restrictions are applicable: If treated water is intended to
|
||
be used to irrigate or mix sprays for plants grown in commercial nurseries and greenhouses; and other plants or
|
||
cops that are not labeled for direct treatment with 2,4-D, the water must not be used unless one of the following
|
||
restrictions has been observed:
|
||
a. A setback distance from functional water intake(s) of greater than or equal to 600 feet was used for the
|
||
application, or
|
||
b. A waiting period of 7 days from the time of application has elapsed, or,
|
||
c. An approved assay indicates that the 2,4-D concentration is 100 ppb (0.1 ppm) or less at the water
|
||
intake. Wait at least 3 days after application before initial sampling at water intake.
|
||
2. Drinking water (potable water);
|
||
A. Consult with appropriate state or local water authorities before applying this product to public waters. State or
|
||
local agencies may require permits. The potable water use restrictions on this label are to ensure that
|
||
consumption of water by the public is allowed only when the concentration of 2,4-D in the water is less than
|
||
the MCL (Maximum Contaminant Level) of 70 ppb. Applicators should consider the unique characteristics of
|
||
the treated waters to assure that 2,4-D concentrations in potable water do not exceed 70 ppb at the time of
|
||
consumption.
|
||
B. For floating and emergent weed applications, the drinking water setback distance from functioning potable
|
||
water intakes is great than or equal to 600 ft.
|
||
C. If no setback distance of greater than or equal to 600 ft. is used for application, applicators or the authorizing
|
||
organization must provide a drinking water notification prior to a 2,4-D application to the party responsible for
|
||
public water supply or to individual private water uses. Notification to the party responsible for a public water
|
||
supply or to individual private water users must be done in a manner to assure that the party is aware of the
|
||
water use restrictions when this product is applied to potable water.
|
||
The following is an example of a notification via posting, but other methods of notification which convey the
|
||
above restrictions may be used and may be required in some cases under state or local law or as a condition
|
||
of a permit.
|
||
|
||
Example:
|
||
Posting notification should be located every 250 feet including the shoreline of the treated area and up to 250
|
||
feet of shoreline past the application site to include immediate public access points. Posting must include the
|
||
day and time of application. Posting may be removed if analysis of a sample collected at the intake 3 or more
|
||
|
||
Filename: Weed Rhap A-6D Herbicide (5905-503) 071318 CLN.doc 20
|
||
days following application shows that the concentration in the water is less than 70 ppb (100 ppb for irrigation
|
||
or sprays), or after 7 days following application, whichever occurs first.
|
||
|
||
Text of notification: Wait 7 days before diverting functioning surface water intakes form the treated aquatic
|
||
site to use as drinking water, irrigation, or sprays, unless water at functioning drinking water intakes is tested
|
||
at least 3 days after application and is demonstrated by assay to contain not more than 70 ppb 2,4-D (100
|
||
ppb for irrigation or sprays). Application Date: ____________ Time: ___________
|
||
|
||
D. Following each application of this product, treated water must not be used for drinking water unless one of
|
||
the following restrictions has been observed:
|
||
|
||
i. A setback distance from functional water intake(s) of greater than or equal to 600 ft. was used
|
||
for the application, or,
|
||
ii. A waiting period of at least 7 days from the time of application has elapsed, or
|
||
iii. An approved assay indicates that the 2,4-D concentration is 70 ppb (0.07 ppm) or less at the
|
||
water intake. Sampling for drinking water analysis should occur no sooner than 3 days after
|
||
2,4-D application. Analysis of samples must be completed by a laboratory that is certified
|
||
under the Safe Drinking Water Act to perform drinking water analysis using a currently
|
||
approved version of analytical Method Number 515, 555, or other methods for 2,4-D as may be
|
||
listed in Title 40 CFR, Part 141.24, or Method Number 4015 (immunoassay of 2,4-D) from U.S.
|
||
EPA Test Methods for Evaluating Solid Waste SW-846.
|
||
iv. Note: Existing potable water intakes that are no longer in use, such as those replaced by a
|
||
connection to a municipal water system or a potable water well, are not considered to be
|
||
functioning potable water intakes.
|
||
v. Drinking water setback distances do not apply to terrestrial applications of 2,4-D adjacent to
|
||
water bodies with potable water intakes.
|
||
3. Except as stated above, there are no restrictions on using water from treated areas for swimming, fishing, watering
|
||
livestock, or domestic purposes.
|
||
|
||
Do not contaminate water used for irrigation or domestic purposes.
|
||
Perennial and other hard to control weeds may require a repeat application to give adequate control.
