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).

EPA Receipt Date: September 10, 2004
|

Dear Dr. Kleppe:
|
||
OFFICE OF
|
||
PREVENTION. PESTICIDES AND
|
||
TOXIC SUBSTANCES
|
||
OCT 1 4 ;,'U04
|
||
The labeling referred to above, submitted in connection with registration under the Federal
|
||
Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act, as amended, is acceptable provided you make the
|
||
following label changes.
|
||
I. On page 4, the statement, "Reusable containers ... " must be changed to "This container must
|
||
only be refilled with a pesticide product. Do Not Reuse the Container for Any Other Purpose.
|
||
Cleaning is not necessary prior to refilling with the same product. However, if the container is
|
||
refilled with another pesticide product, the container must be cleaned according to written
|
||
instructions provided by BASF prior to refilling. Do not transport if the container is damaged or
|
||
leaking. To obtain information about recycling refillable containers or if a container that is
|
||
dedicated to BASF is damaged or leaking, contact BASF Corporation at 1-800-551-CROP.
|
||
Cleaning and final disposal of this container must be in compliance with State and local
|
||
regulations.
|
||
2. On page 6, revise the section under the heading, "Managing Off-target Movement", to be
|
||
consistent with your other dimethenamidlatrazine products. The section should be revised as
|
||
outlined:
|
||
"Spray Drift:
|
||
Avoiding spray drift at the application site is the responsibility of the applicator. The interaction
|
||
of many equipment-and-weather-related factors determine the potential for spray drift. The
|
||
applicator and the grower are responsible for considering all these factors when making
|
||
decisions. Spray drift from applying this product may result in damage to sensitive plants
|
||
adjacent to the treatment area. Only apply this product when the potential for drift to these and
|
||
other adjacent sensitive areas (e.g. residential areas, bodies of\\uter, known habitat for
|
||
threatened or endangered species. or non-target crops) is minimal. Do not apply when the
|
||
|
||
following conditions exist that increase the likelihood of spray drift from intended targets: high
|
||
or gusty winds, high temperatures, low humidity, temperature inversions. To minimize spray
|
||
drift, the applicator should be familiar with and take into account the following drift reduction
|
||
advisory information. Additional information may be available from state enforcement agencies
|
||
or the Cooperative Extension on the application of this product.".
|
||
"Information On Droplet Size"
|
||
'The best drift management strategy and most effective way to reduce drift potential are to apply
|
||
large droplets that provide sufficient coverage and control. Applying larger droplets reduces drift
|
||
potential, but will not prevent drift if applications are made improperly, or under unfavorable
|
||
environmental conditions (see Wind, Temperature and Humidity, and Temperature Inversions)."
|
||
"Controlling Droplet Size"
|
||
"Volume- Use high flow rate nozzles to apply the highest practical spray volume. Nozzles with
|
||
higher rated flows produce larger droplets. Pressure- Do not exceed the nozzle manufacture's
|
||
recommended pressures. For many nozzle types, lower pressure produces larger droplets. When
|
||
higher flow rates are needed, use higher flow rate nozzles instead of increasing pressure.
|
||
Number of Nozzles- Use the minimum number of nozzles that provide uniform coverage.
|
||
Nozzle Orientation- Orienting nozzles so that the spray is released parallel to the airstream
|
||
produces larger droplets than other orientations and is recommended practice. Significant
|
||
deflection from the horizontal will reduce droplet size and increase drift potential. 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. Solid stream
|
||
nozzles oriented straight back produce the largest droplets and the lowest drift. Do not use
|
||
nozzles producing a mist droplet spray."
|
||
"Application Height"
|
||
"Making applications at the lowest possible height (aircraft, ground driven spray boom) that is
|
||
safe and practical reduces exposure of droplets to evaporation and wind."
|
||
"Swath Adjustment"
|
||
"When applications are made with a crosswind, the swath will be displaced downwind.
|
||
Therefore, on the up and downwind edges of the field, the applicator must compensate for this
|
||
displacement by adjusting the path of the application equipment (e.g. aircraft. ground) upwind.
|
||
Swath adjustment distance should increase with increasing drift potential (higher wind, smaller
|
||
droplets, etc.)."
|
||
"Wind"
|
||
"Drift potential is lowest between wind speeds of 3-1 0 mph. However, many factors, including
|
||
droplet size and equipment type, determine drift potential at any given speed. Application should
|
||
be avoided below 3 mph due to variable wind direction and high inversion potential. Note: Local
|
||
terrain can influence wind patterns. Every applicator should be familiar with local wind patterns
|
||
and ho\\' they affect spray drift."
|
||
|
||
(
|
||
"Temperature and Humidity"
|
||
"When making applications in low relative humidity, set up equipment to produce larger
|
||
droplets to compensate for evaporation. Droplet evaporation is most severe when conditions are
|
||
both hot and dry."
|
||
"Temperature Inversions"
|
||
"Applications should not occur during temperature inversions because drift potential is high.
|
||
Temperature inversions restrict vertical air mixing, which causes small suspended droplets to
|
||
remain in a concentrated cloud, which can move in unpredictable directions due to the light
|
||
variable winds common during inversions. Temperature inversions are characterized by
|
||
increasing temperatures with altitude and are common on nights with limited cloud cover and
|
||
light to no wind. They begin to form as the sun sets and often continue into the morning. Their
|
||
presence can be indicated by ground fog; however, iffog is not present, inversions can also be
|
||
identified 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."
|
||
"Managing Spray Drift From Aerial Applications"
|
||
"Applicators must follow these requirements to avoid off-target drift movement: 1. Boom
|
||
length- the distance of the outermost nozzles on the boom must not exceed 3/4 the length of the
|
||
wingspan or rotor, 2. Nozzle orientation- nozzles must always point backward parallel with the
|
||
air stream and never be pointed downwards more than 45 degrees, and 3. Application height
|
||
without compromising aircraft safety, applications should be made at a height of 10 feet or less
|
||
above the crop canopy or tallest plants. Applicators must follow the most restrictive use cautions
|
||
to avoid drift hazards, including those found in this labeling as well as applicable state and local
|
||
regulations and ordinances."
|
||
Keep the section "Wind Erosion of treated soil"
|
||
3 On your label after the phrase "on highly erodible soils", add (as defined by the Natural
|
||
Resource Conservation Service).
|
||
4. On page 7 , add "bulk" to "On-farm fertilizer impregnation is prohibited" to read "On-farm
|
||
bulk fertilizer impregnation is prohibited."
|
||
5. On page 6, under Tank Mix Partners/Components add a statement "The total pounds of
|
||
atrazine applied from all sources must not exceed 2.5 pounds of active ingredient per acre per
|
||
year
|
||
Amended labeling will supercede all previous accepted ones. A stamped copy of labeling is
|

Environmental Hazards
|
||
Do not discharge effluent containing this product into
|
||
lakes, streams, ponds, estuaries, oceans, or other
|
||
waters unless in accordance with the requirements of
|
||
a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System
|
||
(NPDES) pemnit and the permitting authority has been
|
||
notified in writing prior to discharge. Do not
|
||
discharge effluent containing this product to sewer
|

systems without previously notifying the local sewage
|
||
treatment plant authority. For guidance, contact your
|
||
State Water Board or Regional Office of the EPA.
|
||
Ground and Surface Water Advisory
|
||
Dimethenamid-P has properties that may result in
|
||
groundwater contamination. Application in areas
|
||
where soils are permeable or coarse and groundwater
|
||
is near the surface could result in groundwater
|
||
contamination. Following application and during
|
||
rainfall events that cause run-off, this chemical may
|
||
reach surface water bodies including streams, rivers,
|
||
and reservoirs.
|
||
Guardsman contains the active ingredient
|
||
atrazine. Atrazine can travel (seep or leach) through
|
||
soil and can enter ground water which may be used
|
||
as drinking water. Atrazine has been found in ground
|
||
water. Users are advised not to apply atrazine to
|
||
sand and loamy soils where the water table (gound
|
||
water) is close to the surface and where these soils
|
||
are very permeable; i.e., well drained. Your local
|
||
agricultural agencies can provide further information
|
||
on the type of soil in your area and the location of
|
||
ground water.
|
||
o This product must not be mixed, loaded, or used
|
||
within 50 ft. of all wells including abandoned wells,
|
||
drainage wells, and sinkholes. Operations that
|
||
involve mixing, loading, rinsing, or washing of this
|
||
product into or from pesticide handling or
|
||
application equipment or containers within 50 ft. of
|
||
any well are prohibited, unless conducted on an
|
||
impervious pad constructed to withstand the
|
||
weight of the heaviest load that may be positioned
|
||
on or moved across the pad. Such a pad shall be
|
||
designed and maintained to contain any product
|
||
spills or equipment leaks, container or equipment
|
||
3
|
||
(
|
||
rinse or wash water, and rain water that may fall
|
||
on the pad. Surface water shall not be allowed to
|
||
either flow over or from the pad which means the
|
||
pad must be self-contained.
|
||
The pad shall be sloped to facilitate material
|
||
removal. An unroofed pad shall be sufficient
|
||
capacity to contain a minimum 110% of the
|
||
capacity of the largest pesticide container or
|
||
application equipment on the pad. A pad that is
|
||
covered by a n?of. of sufficient size to completely
|
||
exclude precIpitation from contact with the pad
|
||
shall have a minimum containment 100% of the
|
||
capacity of the largest pesticide container or
|
||
application equipmment on the pad.
|
||
o Containment capacities as described above shall
|
||
be maintained at all times. The above-specified
|
||
minimum containment capacities do not apply to
|
||
vehicles when delivering pesticide to the
|
||
mixing/loading sites.
|
||
o Additional State imposed requirements regarding
|
||
well-head setbacks and operational area
|
||
containment must be observed.

, partial control or suppression. To complement control.
|
||
Guardsman should be used in tank mixes or sequential applica~
|
||
tions with other herbicides that provide additional control of these
|
||
weed species.
|
||
I For best control of these species, use the highest rate recom
|
||
mended by soil type. If dry conditions exist near application or
|
||
excessive rainfall occurs ear'Y in season, a postemergence herbi
|
||
cide or cultivation may be required to help control these weeds.
|
||
Mode of Action
|
||
Guardsman contains two active ingredients:
|
||
dimethenamid, a root and shoot growth inhibitor,
|
||
Group 15, and atrazine, a photosynthetic inhibitor at
|
||
photo system II Site A. Group 5. Guardsman
|
||
typically controls weeds before or soon after they
|
||
emerge from the soil.
|
||
Herbicide Resistance
|
||
Naturally occurring biotypes of certain pests with
|
||
resistance to the atrazine component in Guardsman
|
||
are known to exist. Selection of resistant biotypes,
|
||
through repeated use of atrazine or related triazine
|
||
herbicides (same mode of action), may result in
|
||
control failures. If poor performance cannot be
|
||
attributed to adverse weather conditions or improper
|
||
application methods, a resistant biotype may be
|
||
present. In such a case, additional treatments with
|
||
this herbicide or related products is not
|
||
recommended. Consult your local representative or
|
||
agricultural advisor for assistance.
|
||
Cleanin!il Spray Equipment
|
||
Clean application equipment thoroughly by using a
|
||
strong detergent or commercial sprayer cleaner
|
||
according to the manufacturer's directions and then
|
||
triple rinsing the eqUipment before and after applYing
|
||

II. Application Instructions
|
||
Guardsman may be applied preplant surface,
|
||
preplant incorporated, pre-emergence or may be
|
||
applied early postemergence to corn or grain
|
||
sorghum. Guardsman will provide most effective
|
||
weed control when applied (by ground or aerial
|
||
equipment), and subsequently incorporated into soil
|
||
by rainfall, sprinkler irrigation, or mechanical tillage
|
||
prior to weed seedling emergence from soil.
|
||
Guardsman may be applied using either water or
|
||
fluid fertilizer as the spray carrier, or impregnated onto
|
||
and applied with dry bulk fertilizer. Sprayable fluid
|
||
fertilizer as a carrier is not recommended for use after
|
||
crop emergence. Refer to section III. Additives for
|
||
more information.
|
||
Application Rate
|
||
Recommended use rates for Guardsman when
|
||
used alone, in tank mix, or sequential applications are
|
||
given in Table 2 (reler to section IV. General Tank
|
||
Mixing Information and section VI. Crop-Specific
|
||
Information for more details). Recommended use
|
||
rates of this product vary by soil type. The most
|
||
accurate indicator of appropriate use rate for
|
||
Guardsman is the Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC)
|
||
of the soil to be treated. CEC values are available in
|
||
standard soil testing procedures. If CEC values are
|
||
not available, the recommended use rate of
|
||
Guardsman may be determined using soil texture
|
||
and organic matter. Soil texture groupings used in this
|
||
label are coarse (sand, loamy sand, sandy loam),
|
||
medium (silt, silt loam, loam, sandy clay loam), and
|
||
fine (sandy clay, silty clay, silty clay loam, clay loam,
|
||
and clay).
|
||
To determine Guardsman use rates by either soil
|
||
CEC values or by soil texture and organic matter, refer
|
||
to Table 2. When use rates are expressed in ranges,
|
||
use the lower rates for lower CEC values and use the
|
||
higher rates for higher CEC values. If soil texture and
|
||
organic matter content are used to determine use
|
||
rates, use the lower rates for more coarsely textured
|
||
soils low in organic matter and use the higher rates
|
||
for more finely textured soils that are high in organic
|
||
matter. Reduced rates may be used where partial
|
||
control or reduced length of soil residual control is
|
||
required (refer to Table 2).

as postemergence applications, or pre-emergence
|
||
applications where cultivation or sequentially applied
|
||
herbicides will be used for added control of the same
|
||
targeted weed species. Use 2-2.5, 2.5-3, and 3-3.5
|
||
pints of Guardsman per acre on coarse, medium, and
|
||
fine soil respectively.
|
||
2 For all early preplant applications, use 4.75-5 pints of
|
||
Guardsman per acre. Do not exceed 4.75 pints per
|
||
acre on highly erodible soils with less than 30% plant
|
||
residue cover prior to crop emergence.
|
||
J On all soils with 8-20% organic matter, use 4.75-5 pints
|
||
of Guardsman per acre. Guardsman is not recom
|
||
mended for use on soils with more than 20% organic
|
||
matter. L-___________________________ ____
|
||
Application Timing
|
||
Preplant Surface Applications; For use in
|
||
minimum tillage or no-tillage production systems.
|
||
apply Guardsman alone or in tank mixes up to 45
|
||
days before planting. When making early preplant
|
||
applications (15-45 days prior to planting), use the
|
||
highest rate recommended for the specific soil type.
|
||
Early preplant applications are not recommended for
|
||
use on coarse-textured soils or in areas where
|
||
average annual rainfall (or rainfall + irrigation) typically
|
||
exceeds 40". Early preplant applications may be
|
||
applied as part of a split application program where
|
||
the second application is made after olanting (use
|
||
2/3 of Guardsman" herbicide rate early followed
|
||
by 1/3 of rate after planting). A split application is
|
||
recommended when the initial application is made
|
||
more than 30 days prior to planting. Tank mixes with
|
||
postemergence herbicides such as Acquire'",
|
||
Clarity", Gramoxone" Extra, Roundup Ultra", or
|
||
Touchdown" must be used when weeds are more
|
||
than 1.5" tall at the time of application.
|
||
Preplant Incorporated Applications; Apply
|
||
Guardsman and incorporate into the upper (1-2")
|
||
soil surface up to 2 weeks before planting. Use a
|
||
harrow, rolling cultivator, finishing disk, or other
|
||
Implement capable of giving uniform shallow
|
||
incorporation. Avoid deeper incorporation or
|
||
reduced weed control may result.
|
||
6
|
||
(
|
||
Pre-emergence Surface Applications; Broadcast
|
||
treatment uniformly to the soil surface after planting
|
||
and before crop emergence. Rainfall, sprinkler
|
||
irrigation, or shallow mechanical incorporation after
|
||
application is required to move this product into the
|
||
upper soil surface where weed seeds germinate. If
|
||
adequate rainfall or irrigation does not occur and
|
||
weed seedling emergence begins, a shallow
|
||
cultivation or rotary hoeing will improve performance.
|
||
Earlv Postemergence Applications; Guardsman
|
||
may be applied early postemergence to corn or
|
||
sorghum up to 12" tall. Apply Guardsman before
|
||
weeds are greater than 1.5" tall or in a tank mix with
|
||
products that control emerged weeds.
|
||
Split Applications; Guardsman may be used in
|
||
split application programs where applications are
|
||
made as part of the methods described above. If
|
||
applications are less than 2 weeks apart, the total
|
||
Guardsman rate used must not exceed the
|
||
maximum rate given for each specific soil type. If
|
||
applications are 2 weeks or more apart, a total
|
||
Guardsman use rate of up to 5 pints per acre per
|
||
year may be used on any soil type.
|
||
Managing Off-target Movement
|
||
Sprav Oritt; High or gusty winds, high temperatures,
|
||
low humidity, and temperature inversions increase the
|
||
likelihood of spray drift from intended targets. Do not
|
||
apply when these conditions exist. To minimize spray
|
||
drift:
|
||
• Make application when conditions are favorable for
|
||
even spray deposition (approximately 3-10 mph)
|
||
on the soil surface. Do not apply when wind or
|
||
wind gusts exceed 15 mph.
|
||
• Use low pressure, properly calibrated, application
|
||
equipment as possible to produce large spray
|
||
droplets and sufficient spray volume to ensure
|
||
uniform application. Do not use nozzles producing
|
||
a mist droplet spray.
|
||
• Keep ground driven spray boom as low as
|
||
possible above the target surface.
|
||
Wind erosion of treated soil; Avoid treatin(l
|
||
powdery dry or light sandy soils when conditions are
|
||
favorable for wind erosion. Under these conditions,
|
||
the soil surface should first be settled by rainfall or
|
||
irrigation.
|
||
Aerial Application Methods and
|
||
Equipment
|
||
Water Volume; Use 2 or more gallons of water per
|
||
acre. The actual minimum spray volume per acre is
|
||
determined by the spray equipment used. Adequate
|
||
spray volume must be used to provide accurate and
|
||
uniform distribution of spray particles over the treated
|
||
area and to avoid drift of spray particles to nontarget
|
||
areas.
|
||
Application Equipment; Use nozzle screens no finer
|
||
than 50 mesh. The applicator must follow the most
|
||
restrictive use cautions to avoid drift hazards,
|
||
including those found in this labeling as well as
|
||
applicable state and local regulations and ordinances.
|
||
|
||
----- ----
|
||
Ground Application (Bandin~)
|
||
When applying Guardsman by banding, determine
|
||
the amount of herbicide and water volume needed
|
||
using the following formula:
|
||
Bandwidth ~n inches X Broadcast rate = Banding herbicide
|
||
Row width In Inches per acre rate per acre
|
||
Bandwidth in inches X Broadcast = Banding water
|
||
Row width in inches volume per acre volume per acre
|
||
Ground Application Methods and
|
||
Equipment (Broadcast)
|
||
Water Volume: Use 2 or more gallons of water per
|
||
acre. The actual minimum spray volume per acre is
|
||
determined by the spray equipment used. Adequate
|
||
spray volume must be used to provide accurate and
|
||
uniform distribution of spray particles over the treated
|
||
area and to avoid drift of spray particles to nontarget
|
||
areas.
|
||
Application Equipment: Use nozzle screens no finer
|
||
than 50 mesh.
|
||
Ground Application (Dry Bulk Fertilizer)
|
||
Guardsman may be impregnated or coated onto dry
|
||
bulk granular fertilizer carriers for preplant surface,
|
||
preplant incorporated, or pre-emergence applications.
|
||
Impregnation of bulk fertilizer is restricted to
|
||
commercial facilities. On-farm fertilizer impregnation is
|
||
prohibited. No more than 500 tons of dry bulk fertilizer
|
||
can be impregnated per day. No single facility may
|
||
impregnate fertilizer with this product for more than
|
||
30 days per calendar year. The commercial facility
|
||
impregnating the dry bulk fertilizer must inform, in
|
||
writing, the user (applicator) of the dry bulk fertilizer
|
||
that:
|
||
• Applicators must wear long-sleeved shirt, long
|
||
pants, shoes and socks.
|
||
• The restricted-entry interval is 12 hours.
|
||
Impregnation or coating may be conducted by either
|
||
the in-plant bulk system or the on-board system.
|
||
Guardsman may also be applied in herbicide tank
|
||
mixes where the tank mix companion product is alsc
|
||
registered for these application systems. Individuals or
|
||
agents selling Guardsman in these application
|
||
systems are responsible for following all state and
|
||
local regulations regarding fertilizer and herbicide
|
||
blending. The addition of a drying agent may be
|
||
necessary if the fertilizer and herbicide blend is too
|
||
wet for uniform application due to high humidity, high
|
||
urea concentration, or low fertilizer use rate. Slowly
|
||
add the drying agent to the blend until a fiowable
|
||
mixture is obtained. Drying agents are not
|
||
recommended for use with on-board impregnation
|
||
systems. Under some conditions, fertilizer
|
||
impregnated with Guardsman may clog air tubes or
|
||
defiector plates on pneumatic application systems.
|
||
Mineral oil may be added to Guardsman before
|
||
blending with fertilizer to reduce plugging. Do not use
|
||
drying agents when mineral oil is used. To avoid
|
||
separation of Guardsman and mineral oil mixes in
|
||
cold temperatures, either keep mixture heated or
|
||
agitated prior to blending with fertilizer. Mineral oil may
|
||
be used at in-plant blending stations or on-board
|
||
injection systems.

||
Apply 200-750 pounds of fertilizer and herbicide

satisfactory weed control. Impregnated fertilizer
|
||
spread at half rate and overlapped to obtain a full rate
|
||
will offer a more uniform distribution. A shallow (1-2")
|
||
incorporation is desirable for improved weed control.

made prior to weed emergence. To improve
|
||
burndown of emerged weecs, surfactants or low-rate
|
||
fertilizer (28%, 30%, or 32% UAN or ammonium
|
||
sulfate), or crop oil concentrate may be used with
|
||
Guardsman alone or in tank mixes applied preplant,
|
||
pre-emergence, or early postemergence to the crop.
|
||
Consult your local BASF representative for
|
||
recommendations for your area.

Nitrogen Source
|
||
• Urea ammonium nitrate (UAN): Use 2-4 quarts
|
||
of UAN (commonly referred to as 28%, 30%, or
|
||
32% nitrogen solution) per acre. Do not use brass
|
||
or aluminum nozzles when spraying UAN.
|
||
• Ammonium sulfate (AMS): AMS at 2.5 pounds
|
||
per acre may be subslrtuted for UAN. Use high
|
||
quality AMS (spray grade) to avoid plugging of
|
||
nozzles. Other sources of nitrogen are not as
|
||
effective as those mentioned. BASF does not
|
||
recommend applying AMS if applied in less than
|
||
10 gallons per acre because of potential problems
|
||
with precipitation in reduced volumes. Use AMS
|
||
only if it has been demonstrated to be successful
|
||
in local experience.
|
||
Nonionic Surfactant
|
||
The standard label recommendation is 1 pint of an
|
||
80% active nanionic spray surfactant per 100 gallons
|
||
of water.
|
||
Oil Concentrate
|
||
Crop oil concentrates are allowec after crop
|
||
emergence only when Guardsman is used alone or
|
||
in tank mixes with atrazine. See the manufacturer's
|
||
label for specific rate recommendations. A crop oil
|
||
concentrate must contain either a petroleum or
|
||
vegetable oil base and must meet all of the following
|
||
criteria:
|
||
|
||
• be non phytotoxic,
|
||
• contain only EPA-exempt ingredients,
|
||
• provide good mixing quality in the jar test, and
|
||
• be successful in local experience.
|
||
The exact composition of suitable products will vary;
|
||
however, vegetable and petroleum oil concentrates
|
||
should contain emulsifiers to provide good mixing
|
||
quality. Highly refined vegetable oils have proven more
|
||
satisfactory than unrefined vegetable oils. For
|
||
additional information, see Compatibility Test for
|
||
Mix Components.

Physical incompatibility, reduced weed control, or
|
||
crop injury may result from mixing Guardsman with
|
||
other pesticides (fungicides, herbicides, insecticides,
|
||
or miticides), additives, or fertilizers. BASF does not
|
||
recommend using tank mixes other than those listed
|
||
on BASF labeling. Local agricultural authorities may
|
||
be a source of information when using other than
|
||
BASF recommended tank mixes.
|
||
Compatibility Test for Mix Components
|
||
Before mixing components, always perform a
|
||
compatibility jar test.
|
||
For 20 gallons per acre spray volume, use 3.3 cups
|
||
(800 ml) of water. For other spray volumes, adjust
|
||
rates accordingly. Only use water from the intended
|
||
source at the source temperature.
|
||
Add components in the sequence indicated in the
|
||
Mixing Order using 2 teaspoons for each pound or
|
||
1 teaspoon for each pint of recommended label rate
|
||
per acre.
|
||
Always cap the Jar and invert 10 cycles between
|
||
component additions.
|
||
When the components have all been added to the jar,
|
||
let the solution stand for 15 minutes. Evaluate the
|
||
solution for uniformity and stability. The spray solution
|
||
should not have free oil on the surface, nor fine
|
||
particles that precipitate to the bottom, nor thick
|
||
(clabbered) texture. If the spray solution is not
|
||
compatible, repeat the compatibility test with the
|
||
addition of a suitable compatibility agent. If the
|
||
solutior is then compatible, use the compatibility
|
||
agent BS directed on its label. If the solution is still
|
||
incompatible, do not mix the ingredients In the same
|
||
tank .
|
||
|
||
Mixin~ Order
|
||
1) Water. Begin by agitating a thoroughly clean
|
||
sprayer tank three-quarters full of clean water.
|
||
2) Agitation. Maintain constant agitation throughout
|
||
mixing and application.
|
||
3) Inductor. If an inductor is used, rinse it thoroughly
|
||
after each component has been added.
|
||
4) Products in PYA bags. Place any product
|
||
contained in water-soluble PVA bags into the
|
||
mixing tank. Wait until all water-soluble PVA bags
|
||
have fully dissolved and the product is evenly
|
||
mixed in the spray tank before continuing.
|
||
5) Water-dispersible products (such as
|
||
Guardsman, dry flowables, wettable powders,
|
||
suspension concentrates, or sus po-emulsions).
|
||
6) Water-soluble products.
|
||
7) Emulsifiable concentrates (oil concentrate when
|
||
applicable).
|
||
8) Water-soluble additives (such as AMS or UAN

|
||
treatment was broadcast, do not make a second application of Guardsman if the combined rate
|
||
exceeds the maximum rate per season. If the original application was banded and the second crop
|
||
is planted in the row middles, a second band application may be applied.
|
||
- Corn, sorghum, soybeans, cotton or peanuts may be planted the year following treatment. Injury
|
||
may occur to soybeans planted on soils having a calcareous surface layer.

• Atrazine can travel (seep or leach) through soil and can enter ground water which may
|
||
be used as drinking water. Atrazine has been found in ground water. Users are advised
|
||
not to apply atrazine to sand and loamy sand soils where the water table (ground water)
|
||
is close to the surface and where these soils are very permeable; i.e., well-drained. Your
|
||
local agricultural agencies can provide further information on the type of soil in your area
|
||
and the location of ground water.

||
positioned on or moved across the pad. Such a pad shall be designed and maintained
|
||
to contain any product spills or equipment leaks, container or equipment rinse or wash
|
||
water, and rain water that may fall on the pad. Surface water shall not be allowed to
|
||
either flow over or from the pad which means the pad must be self-contained. The pad
|
||
shall be sloped to facilitate material removal. An unroofed pad shall be of sufficient
|
||
capacity to contain at a minimum 11 0% of the capacity of the largest pesticide container
|
||
or application equipment on the pad. A pad that is covered by a roof of sufficient size to
|
||
completely exclude precipitation from contact with the pad shall have a minimum
|
||
containment of 1 00% of the capacity of the largest pesticide container or application
|
||
