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).

Precautionary Statements
|
||
Hazards to Humans and Domestic Animals
|
||
CAUTION. Harmful if swallowed or if inhaled . Avoid
|
||
breathing spray mist . Wash thoroughly with soap and
|
||
water after handling and before eating, drinking, chewing
|
||
gum, using tobacco, or using the toilet . Remove and wash
|
||
contaminated clothing before reuse .
|
||
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
|
||
Applicators and other handlers must wear:
|
||
• Long-sleeved shirt and long pants
|
||
• Shoes plus socks
|
||
• Waterproof gloves
|
||
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning and
|
||
maintaining PPE . If no such instructions for washables
|
||
exist, use detergent and hot water . Keep and wash PPE
|
||
separately from other laundry . Discard clothing and other
|
||
absorbent materials that have been drenched or heavily
|
||
contaminated with this product’s concentrate . DO NOT
|
||
reuse them .
|
||
Engineering Controls
|
||
When handlers use closed systems, enclosed cabs, or air -
|
||
craft in a manner that meets the requirements listed in the
|
||
Worker Protection Standard (WPS) for agricultural pesti-
|
||
cides [40 CFR 170 .607(d-f)], the handler PPE requirements
|
||
may be reduced or modified as specified in the WPS .
|
||
IMPORTANT: When reduced PPE is worn because a
|
||
closed system is being used, handlers must be provided
|
||
all PPE specified above for applicators and other
|
||
handlers and have such PPE immediately available for
|
||
use in an emergency, including a spill or equipment
|
||
breakdown .
|
||
USER SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS
|
||
Users should:
|
||
• Remove clothing/PPE immediately if pesticide gets
|
||
inside . Then wash thoroughly and put on clean cloth-
|
||
ing . If pesticide gets on skin, wash immediately with
|
||
soap and water .
|
||
• 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
|
||
DO NOT apply directly to water, areas where surface
|
||
water is present, or intertidal areas below the mean high
|
||
water mark . DO NOT contaminate water when disposing
|
||
of equipment washwater or rinsate .
|
||
Groundwater Advisory. Saflufenacil has properties and
|
||
characteristics associated with chemicals detected in
|
||
groundwater . This chemical may leach into groundwater if
|
||
used in areas where soils are permeable, particularly
|
||
where the water table is shallow .
|
||
Surface Water Advisory. Saflufenacil may impact sur-
|
||
face water due to runoff of rainwater . This is especially true
|
||
for poorly draining soils and soils with shallow groundwa -
|
||
ter . This product is classified as having high potential for
|
||
reaching surface water via runoff for several weeks after
|
||
application . A level, well-maintained 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 this chemical from runoff water and
|
||
sediment . Runoff of this product will be reduced by
|
||
avoiding application when rainfall is forecast to occur with -
|
||
in 48 hours .

Product Information
|
||
Saflufenacil CS herbicide provides rate-dependent
|
||
residual preemergence broadleaf weed control (refer to
|
||
Table 1 for list) . It can be used in field corn (grain, seed,
|
||
silage), fallow, and postharvest croplands .
|
||
Saflufenacil CS does not control grass weeds and must
|
||
be used sequentially or tank mixed with a grass herbicide
|
||
for a complete weed control program .
|
||
Residual preemergence applications of Saflufenacil CS
|
||
must be activated by at least 1/2 inch of rainfall or sprinkler
|
||
irrigation before weed seedling emergence . When
|
||
Saflufenacil CS is not activated, a labeled postemer-
|
||
gence herbicide or cultivation may be needed to control
|
||
weed escapes .

|
||
Mode of Action
|
||
Saflufenacil CS herbicide is a potent inhibitor of
|
||
protoporphyrinogen- oxidase belonging to herbicide mode
|
||
of action Group 14 (WSSA) . Saflufenacil CS is rapidly
|
||
absorbed by roots and foliage . Following inhibition of
|
||
protoporphyrinogen-oxidase, plant death is the result of
|
||
membrane damage . Under active growing conditions, sus-
|
||
ceptible emerged weeds usually develop chlorotic and
|
||
necrotic injury symptoms within hours and die within a few
|
||
days . Susceptible emerging weed seedlings usually die as
|
||
they reach the soil surface or shortly after emergence .
|
||
Herbicide Resistance Management
|
||
While weed resistance to Group 14 herbicides are rela-
|
||
tively infrequent, populations of resistant biotypes are
|
||
known to exist . The frequency of resistant biotypes may
|
||
increase if Group 14 herbicides are used repeatedly in the
|
||
same field or in successive years as the primary control of
|
||
the targeted species . If resistant biotypes dominate the
|
||
weed population, it may result in partial or total loss of
|
||
control by other Group 14 herbicides . Weeds resistant to
|
||
Group 14 herbicides may be effectively managed using
|
||
herbicide(s) from a different group .
|
||
To aid in the prevention of developing resistant weeds, the
|
||
following herbicide resistance management principles
|
||
should be followed where practicable:
|
||
• Resistance management should be part of a diversified
|
||
weed control strategy that integrates chemical, cultural,
|
||
and mechanical (tillage) control tactics . Cultural control
|
||
tactics include crop rotation, proper fertilizer placement,
|
||
and optimum seeding rate/row spacing . Start with clean
|
||
fields using tillage or an effective burndown herbicide
|
||
program . These practices encourage crop growth and
|
||
improve competitiveness against weeds .
|
||
• Clean equipment before moving to a different field to
|
||
avoid spread of resistant weeds .
|
||
• Scout fields before application to ensure herbicides and
|
||
rates will be appropriate for the weeds species and weed
|
||
sizes present .
|
||
• Always follow labeled application rate and weed growth
|
||
stage specifications .
|
||
• Use sequential programs with preemergence herbicides
|
||
that provide soil residual control of weeds to reduce early
|
||
season weed competition and allow for timely in-crop
|
||
postemergence herbicide applications .
|
||
• DO NOT rely on a single herbicide site of action for weed
|
||
control during the growing season .
|
||
• Avoid application of herbicides with the same site of
|
||
action more than twice a season .
|
||
• Use tank mixes or premixes with other herbicides pos -
|
||
sessing different sites of action that are also effective on
|
||
the target weeds .
|
||
• Scout fields after herbicide application to identify areas
|
||
where weed control was ineffective .
|
||
• Control weed escapes with herbicides possessing a dif -
|
||
ferent site of action or use a mechanical control
|
||
measure . Weed escapes should not be allowed to repro-
|
||
duce by seed or to proliferate vegetatively .
|
||
• Contact your Saflufenacil CS supplier and/or your local
|
||
BASF representative to report weed escapes .
|
||
• Consult your local BASF representative, local or state
|
||
cooperative extension service, professional consultants
|
||
or crop advisors, or other qualified authority to determine
|
||
appropriate actions if you suspect resistant weeds .
|
||
• Suspected herbicide-resistance 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 on non-controlled plants of a partic -
|
||
ular weed species; or
|
||
- surviving plants mixed with controlled individuals of the
|
||
same species .
|
||
Crop Tolerance
|
||
Crops listed on this label are tolerant to Saflufenacil CS
|
||
when applied according to label directions and under nor -
|
||
mal environmental conditions . Crop injury may occur

||
under stressful growing conditions (e .g . mechanical injury,
|
||
low soil fertility, seedling disease, extreme hot or cold
|
||
weather, widely fluctuating temperatures, excessive mois-
|
||
ture, high soil pH, high soil salt concentration, or drought) .
|
||

Application Timing
|
||
Saflufenacil CS may be applied preplant surface, pre -
|
||
plant incorporated, preemergence, or early
|
||
postemergence . Refer to the Crop-specific Information
|
||
section for specific application instructions (timings, rates,
|
||
restrictions and precautions) by crop .
|
||
Preplant Surface Application. Apply Saflufenacil CS
|
||
alone or in tank mix within 30 days of planting . If weeds are
|
||
present at the time of application, use additional weed
|
||
control methods, for example a tank mix with an appropri -
|
||
ate postemergence herbicide(s), to control emerged
|
||
weeds .
|
||
Preplant Incorporated (PPI) Application. Incorporate
|
||
Saflufenacil CS into the upper (1 to 2 inches) soil surface
|
||
within 14 days of planting . Deeper incorporation may
|
||
increase the potential for crop injury and also may result in
|
||
reduced weed control . Use appropriate equipment for uni-
|
||
form shallow incorporation, including a field cultivator,
|
||
harrow, rolling cultivator, or finishing disc .
|
||
Preemergence Surface Application. After planting and
|
||
before crop emergence, apply a uniform broadcast treat-
|
||
ment to the soil surface . Apply Saflufenacil CS only to a
|
||
uniform seedbed which is firm and free of clods, cracks,
|
||
excess trash (previous crop residue), and weed growth . If
|
||
weeds are present, apply Saflufenacil CS in a tank mix
|
||
with an appropriate postemergence herbicide, for example
|
||
a glyphosate-containing product .
|
||
Early Postemergence Application. Saflufenacil CS
|
||
must be applied and activated before weed seedling emer-
|
||
gence or in a tank mixture that controls emerged weeds .
|
||
Saflufenacil CS will not control emerged weeds . Weeds
|
||
that are already emerged at the time of application must
|
||
be controlled with cultivation, tank mix or sequential appli -
|
||
cation of another herbicide labeled for postemergence
|
||
control of the target weeds in the crop .
|
||
Application Methods and Equipment
|
||
Saflufenacil CS may be applied by ground or air . Thor-
|
||
ough spray coverage is required for optimum broadleaf
|
||
weed control and can be improved with proper adjuvant,
|
||
nozzle, and spray volume selection .
|
||
Use and configure application equipment for adequate
|
||
spray volume, accurate and uniform distribution of spray
|
||
droplets over the treated area, and to avoid spray drift to
|
||
nontarget areas . Adjust equipment to maintain continuous
|
||
agitation during spraying with good mechanical or bypass
|
||
agitation . Avoid overlaps that will increase rates above use
|
||
rates specified in this label .
|
||
Saflufenacil CS may be applied using water or sprayable
|
||
fluid nitrogen fertilizer solutions as the spray carrier . Addi-
|
||
tionally, Saflufenacil CS may be impregnated on and
|
||
applied with dry bulk fertilizer .
|
||
Aerial Application Requirements -
|
||
Helicopter
|
||
Water Volume. Use 15 or more gallons of water per acre .
|
||
Applicators must follow these requirements to reduce the
|
||
potential of spray drift to nontarget areas from aerial appli -
|
||
cation with helicopter:
|
||
1 . The distance of the outermost nozzles on the boom
|
||
must not exceed 75 to 80% of rotor blade diameter .
|
||
2 . Use Accu-FloTM .028 nozzles or larger . DO NOT use
|
||
nozzles producing a smaller droplet size than
|
||
Accu-Flo .028 .
|
||
3 . Orient nozzles so spray is released parallel to the
|
||
airstream .
|
||
4 . Without compromising aircraft safety, applications
|
||
should be made at a height of 10 feet or less above the
|
||
target vegetative canopy .
|
||
5 . DO NOT apply when wind speed is greater than
|
||
10 miles per hour, during periods of temperature inver -
|
||
sions or stable atmospheric conditions .
|
||
6 . Avoid potential adverse effects to nontarget areas by
|
||
maintaining a 50-foot buffer between the point of direct
|
||
application and the closest downwind edge of sensi-
|
||
tive terrestrial habitats (grasslands, forested areas,
|
||
shelter belts, woodlots, hedgerows, riparian areas,
|
||
shrub lands, and crop lands) .
|
||
Aerial Application Requirements -
|
||
Fixed-wing Aircraft
|
||
Water Volume. Use 3 or more gallons of water per acre
|
||
for weed control application .
|
||
Applicators must follow these requirements to reduce the
|
||
potential of spray drift to nontarget areas from aerial
|
||
application:
|
||
1 . The distance of the outermost nozzles on the boom
|
||
must not exceed 3/4 the length of the fixed wingspan .
|
||
2 . Use low-drift nozzles (straight-stream nozzles, D-8 or
|
||
larger) . DO NOT use nozzles producing a mist droplet
|
||
spray .
|
||
3 . Nozzles must always point backward parallel with the
|
||
airstream and never point downward more than
|
||
45 degrees .
|
||
4 . Without compromising aircraft safety, application should
|
||
be made at a height of 10 feet or less above the crop
|
||
canopy or tallest plants .
|
||
5 . DO NOT apply when wind speed is greater than
|
||
10 miles per hour, during periods of temperature inver -
|
||
sions or stable atmospheric conditions .
|
||
|
||

|
||
6 . Avoid potential adverse effects to nontarget areas by
|
||
maintaining a 160-foot buffer between the point of direct
|
||
application and the closest downwind edge of sensi-
|
||
tive terrestrial habitats (grasslands, forested areas,
|
||
shelter belts, woodlots, hedgerows, riparian areas,
|
||
shrub lands, and crop lands) .
|
||
Ground Application Requirements
|
||
Spray Carrier Volume. Use 5 or more gallons of water
|
||
per treated acre or 20 or more gallons of sprayable fluid
|
||
nitrogen fertilizer per treated acre for weed control
|
||
application .
|
||
Applicators must follow these requirements to reduce the
|
||
potential of spray drift to nontarget areas from ground
|
||
application:
|
||
1 . Apply this product using nozzles which deliver
|
||
medium-to-coarse spray droplets as defined by
|
||
ASABE standard S-572 and as shown in nozzle manu-
|
||
facturer’s catalogs . Flat-fan nozzles are recommended
|
||
for burndown applications while flood-jet type nozzles
|
||
are recommended for residual soil surface application .
|
||
Nozzles that deliver coarse spray droplets may be used
|
||
to reduce spray drift provided spray volume per acre
|
||
(GPA) is increased to maintain coverage of target
|
||
(i .e . weeds or soil surface) . DO NOT use nozzles that
|
||
produce fine (e .g . cone) spray droplets .
|
||
2 . Apply this product only when the potential for drift to
|
||
adjacent nontarget areas is minimal (e .g . when the wind
|
||
is 10 MPH or less and is blowing away from sensitive
|
||
areas) . DO NOT apply during periods of temperature
|
||
inversions or stable atmospheric conditions .
|
||
3 . Avoid potential adverse effects to nontarget areas by
|
||
maintaining a 75-foot buffer between the application
|
||
area and the closest downwind edge of sensitive ter-
|
||
restrial habitats (grasslands, forested areas, shelter
|
||
belts, woodlots, hedgerows, riparian areas, shrub lands,
|
||
and crop lands) .
|
||
Ground Application (dry bulk fertilizer)
|
||
Saflufenacil CS herbicide may be impregnated or coat-
|
||
ed onto dry bulk granular fertilizer carriers for residual soil
|
||
surface application . Impregnation or coating may be con-
|
||
ducted by in-plant bulk or on-board systems . Perform the
|
||
mixing operation in well-ventilated areas .
|
||
Addition of a drying agent may be necessary if the fertilizer
|
||
and herbicide blend is too wet for uniform application
|
||
because of high humidity, high urea concentration, or low
|
||
fertilizer use rate . Slowly add the drying agent to the blend
|
||
until a flowable mixture is obtained . Drying agents are not
|
||
recommended for use with on-board impregnation systems .
|
||
Under some conditions, fertilizer impregnated with
|
||
Saflufenacil CS may clog air tubes or deflector plates on
|
||
pneumatic application systems . Mineral oil may be added to
|
||
Saflufenacil CS before blending with fertilizer to reduce
|
||
plugging . DO NOT use drying agents when mineral oil is
|
||
used . To avoid separation of Saflufenacil CS and mineral
|
||
oil mixes in cold temperatures, keep mixture heated or agi-
|
||
tate before blending with fertilizer . Mineral oil may be used
|
||
with in-plant blending stations or on-board injection
|
||
systems .
|
||
Generally, fertilizer application rates of at least 200 lbs to
|
||
700 lbs per acre of herbicide and fertilizer blend provide
|
||
adequate distribution or coverage of Saflufenacil CS
|
||
across the soil surface . Refer to Table 5 in this label for
|
||
use rates of Saflufenacil CS to be applied on per acre
|
||
basis when impregnated with fertilizer to create the dry
|
||
bulk fertilizer blend for application . Application must be
|
||
made uniformly to the soil to prevent possible crop injury
|
||
and offer satisfactory weed control . Impregnated fertilizer
|
||
spread at half rate and overlapped for a full rate offers a
|
||
more uniform distribution . A shallow (less than 2 inches)
|
||
incorporation is desirable for improved weed control .
|
||
Deeper incorporation dilutes the herbicide layer near the
|
||
soil surface and may result in unsatisfactory weed control .
|
||
To calculate the herbicide rate when using dry bulk fertiliz-
|
||
er application:
|
||
fl ozs herbicide per acre x 2000 = fl ozs herbicide
|
||
per ton of fertilizerpounds fertilizer per acre
|
||
Cleaning Spray Equipment
|
||
Clean application equipment thoroughly by using a strong
|
||
detergent or commercial sprayer cleaner according to the
|
||
manufacturer’s directions, followed by triple rinsing the
|
||
equipment before and after applying this product .
|
||
Spray Drift Advisories
|
||
The applicator is responsible for avoiding off-site spray
|
||
drift . Be aware of nearby nontarget sites and environmen-
|
||
tal 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
|
||
Volume. Increasing the spray volume so that larger drop-
|
||
lets 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 .
|
||
|
||
9
|
||
Controlling Droplet Size - Aircraft Adjust
|
||
Nozzles
|
||
Follow nozzle manufacturers recommendations for setting
|
||
up nozzles . Generally, to reduce fine droplets, nozzles
|
||
must 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 must 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 feet above the crop canopy,
|
||
unless a greater application height is necessary for pilot
|
||
safety .
|
||
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 Inversion
|
||
Drift potential is high during a temperature inversion . Tem-
|
||
perature 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 .
|
||
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 .
|
||
Additives
|
||
Saflufenacil CS herbicide is formulated to provide opti-
|
||
mal residual preemergence weed control . No additive is
|
||
needed when Saflufenacil CS is applied alone .
|
||
However, several herbicide tank mixes with
|
||
Saflufenacil CS may require an adjuvant to improve burn-
|
||
down of emerged weeds . Therefore, depending on the
|
||
timing of application relative to crop emergence, the fol-
|
||
lowing adjuvants may be used with Saflufenacil CS tank
|
||
mixes:
|
||
For applications made before crop emergence (i .e ., pre-
|
||
plant surface, preplant incorporated, or preemergence):
|
||
non-ionic surfactant (NIS), crop oil concentrate (COC),
|
||
methylated seed oil (MSO), urea ammonium nitrate (UAN) .
|
||
For applications made after crop emergence (i .e ., early
|
||
postemergence): NIS at 0 .25% v/v (1 qt/100 gal) optionally
|
||
with a spray grade ammonium sulfate (AMS) at 8 .5 to
|
||
17 lbs/100 gallons of water . If using liquid AMS product,
|
||
use a rate that delivers an AMS equivalent of 8 .5 to
|
||
17 lbs/100 gallons of water . The use of COC may result in
|
||
temporary crop injury . DO NOT add MSO or UAN to a
|
||
Saflufenacil CS spray mix .
|
||
When an adjuvant is to be used with this product, BASF
|
||
recommends the use of a Chemical Producers and
|
||
Distributors Association (CPDA) certified adjuvant .
|
||
Tank Mixing Information
|
||
It is the pesticide user’s responsibility to ensure that all
|
||
products in the mixtures are registered for the intended
|
||
use . Read and follow the applicable restrictions and limita -
|
||
tions and directions for use on all product labels involved in
|
||
tank mixing . Users must follow the most restrictive direc-
|
||
tions for use and precautionary statements of each
|
||
product in the tank mixture .
|
||
Saflufenacil CS may be tank mixed or applied sequentially
|
||
with other herbicide products registered for use in any
|
||
labeled crop found in this label for a broader spectrum of
|
||
residual weed control . Refer to the tank mix product labels
|
||
to confirm that the respective tank mix products are regis-
|
||
tered for use on the labeled crop . Read and follow tank mix
|
||
product labels for application instructions, use restrictions
|
||
and precautions, and rotational cropping guidance .
|
||
Compatibility Test for Mix Components
|
||
Before mixing components, always perform a compatibility
|
||
jar test .
|
||
1 . 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 .
|
||
2 . Add components in the sequence indicated in Mixing
|
||
Order using 2 teaspoons for each pound or 1 teaspoon
|
||
for each pint of label rate per acre .
|
||
3 . Always cap the jar and invert 10 cycles between com-
|
||
ponent additions .
|
||
4 . When the components have all been added to the jar,
|
||
let the solution stand for 15 minutes .
|
||
5 . Evaluate the solution for uniformity and stability . The
|
||
spray solution should not have free oil on the surface, or
|
||
fine particles that precipitate to the bottom, or thick
|
||
(clabbered) texture . If the spray solution is not compati-
|
||
ble, repeat the compatibility test with the addition of a
|
||
suitable compatibility agent . If the solution is then com-
|
||
patible, use the compatibility agent as directed on its
|
||
label . If the solution is still incompatible, DO NOT mix
|
||
the ingredients in the same tank .
|
||
|
||
10
|
||
Mixing Order
|
||
Maintain agitation throughout mixing and application until
|
||
spraying is completed .
|
||
1 . Water - Fill tank 1/2 to 3/4 full with clean water and start
|
||
agitation .
|
||
2 . Inductor - If an inductor is used, rinse it thoroughly
|
||
after each component has been added .
|
||
3 . Products in PVA 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 prod-
|
||
uct is evenly mixed in the spray tank before continuing .
|
||
4 . Water-soluble additives (including dry and liquid fer-
|
||
tilizers AMS or UAN)
|
||
5 . Water-dispersible products (dry flowables, wettable
|
||
powders, suspension concentrates, or suspo-emulsions);
|
||
add Saflufenacil CS herbicide now .
|
||
6 . Water-soluble products (including certain glyphosate
|
||
formulated products)
|
||
7 . Emulsifiable concentrates (including MSO adjuvants)
|
||
8 . Remaining quantity of water
|
||
If the spray mixture is allowed to settle for any period of
|
||
time, thorough agitation is essential to resuspend the mix-
|
||
ture before spraying is resumed . Continue agitation while
|
||
spraying .
|
||
Use Restrictions
|
||
• Maximum seasonal use rate - Refer to Crop-
|

|
||
Saflufenacil CS herbicide may be applied preplant sur-
|
||
face, preplant incorporated, preemergence, or early
|
||
postemergence to corn for residual preemergence control
|
||
of broadleaf weeds (Table 1) . Corn in this label refers to
|
||
field corn (grown for grain, seed, or silage) . Before applying
|
||
Saflufenacil CS to seed corn, verify the selectivity of
|
||
Saflufenacil CS on your inbred line or hybrid with your
|
||
local seed company (supplier) to help avoid potential injury
|
||
to sensitive inbreds or hybrids .
|
||

Text in brackets [ ] is alternate text.
|
||
Application Timing
|
||
Saflufenacil CS may be applied in a single application or
|
||
in sequential applications .
|
||
Early Preplant Surface Application
|
||
(within 15 to 30 days of planting)
|
||
Use application rates in Table 5 when making early pre-
|
||
plant surface applications, using the highest application
|
||
rate for a given soil texture . Early preplant surface applica-
|
||
tions are not advised on coarse soils, or in areas where
|
||
average annual rainfall (or rainfall plus irrigation) typically
|
||
exceeds 40 inches .
|
||
Early preplant surface applications may be applied as part
|
||
of a split application program where applications are made
|
||
as part of the application timings described in this label .
|
||
However, the cumulative total of sequential application
|
||
rates must not exceed the maximum labeled rate for a
|
||
given soil texture .
|
||
Preplant Surface and
|
||
Preplant Incorporated Applications
|
||
(within 14 days of planting)
|
||
Saflufenacil CS can be applied at use rates specified in
|
||
Table 5 to the soil surface or incorporated up to 14 days
|
||
before planting on all soil types . For preplant incorporated
|
||
application, apply Saflufenacil CS and incorporate into
|
||
the upper soil surface (1 to 2 inches) . Use a harrow, rolling
|
||
cultivator, field cultivator, or other implement capable of
|
||
uniform shallow incorporation . Avoid deeper incorporation
|
||
or reduced weed control may result .
|
||
Preemergence Surface Application
|
||
Apply Saflufenacil CS at use rates specified in Table 5
|
||
as a broadcast spray to the soil surface after planting and
|
||
before crop emergence .
|
||
Early Postemergence Application
|
||
Apply Saflufenacil CS at use rates specified in Table 5
|
||
as a broadcast spray to field corn at spiking up to the
|
||
V8 stage (visible eighth leaf collar) [ Alternate text: V3 stage
|
||
(visible third leaf collar) or V4 stage (visible fourth leaf collar)
|
||
or V5 stage (visible fifth leaf collar) or V6 stage (visible sixth
|
||
leaf collar)] .
|
||
Sequential Application
|
||
If a sequential application program of Saflufenacil CS is
|
||
used (e .g . preplant followed by preemeergence applica -
|
||
tion, or preplant or preemergence followed by an early
|
||
postemergence application), the maximum combined rate
|
||
of Saflufenacil CS that may be applied in field corn per
|
||
year is 15 .8 fl ozs/A (0 .134 lb ai/A of saflufenacil) .
|
||
Crop-specific Restrictions
|
||
• DO NOT apply Saflufenacil CS to popcorn or sweet
|
||
corn .
|
||
• DO NOT apply more than 15 .8 fl ozs/A of
|
||
Saflufenacil CS (0 .134 lb ai/A of saflufenacil) in a single
|
||
application .
|
||
• DO NOT apply more than 15 .8 fl ozs/A of
|
||
Saflufenacil CS (0 .134 lb ai/A of saflufenacil) as a maxi-
|
||
mum cumulative amount from sequential applications in
|
||
field corn per cropping season .
|
||
• DO NOT apply Saflufenacil CS where an at-planting
|
||
application of an organophosphate (OP) or carbamate
|
||
insecticide(s) is planned and/or has occurred because
|
||
severe injury may result . Saflufenacil CS may be
|
||
applied with all other classes of at-planting insecticides
|
||
including neonicotinoid and pyrethroids .
|
||
EXCEPTION: Saflufenacil CS may be applied when
|
||
Aztec® 2.1% granular insecticide , Aztec® 4.67 G
|
||
granular insecticide , or SmartChoice ® 5G granular
|
||
insecticide is applied at planting as a band, T-band, or
|
||
in-furrow .
|
||
|
||
13
|
||
• DO NOT apply more than a maximum cumulative
|
||
amount of 0 .134 lb ai/A of saflufenacil per cropping sea-
|
||
son in field corn from all product sources .
|
||
• There is no required (preharvest) interval between a pre -
|
||
plant surface, preplant incorporated, preemergence, or
|
||
early postemergence application of Saflufenacil CS
|
||
herbicide and the harvest of field corn . Corn forage and
|
||
stover may be fed to livestock after harvest .
|
||
Crop-specific Precautions
|
||
• When applied before crop emergence, Saflufenacil CS
|
||
use may result in delayed corn emergence and stunting
|
||
under certain environmental conditions including cool
|
||
temperatures, excessive rainfall/irrigation, and/or per-
|
||
sistent wet soil conditions occurring after application .
|
||
• Ensure the corn seed row is closed . Soil conditions that
|
||
cause poor seed furrow closure and coverage may result
|
||
in delayed corn emergence or stunting .
|
||
• Application of this product with other postemergence or
|
||
residual herbicides may increase the potential for crop
|
||
injury after corn has emerged .
|
||
• Early postemergence applications of Saflufenacil CS
|
||
may result in crop response symptoms consisting of foli-
|
||
ar spotting on emerged leaves . Use of an adjuvant can
|
||
increase the level of foliar spotting on emerged leaves .
|
||
Refer to Additives section for more details on adjuvants .
|
||
• Tank mixing of Saflufenacil CS with Glufosinate formu-
|
||
lations for early postemergence applications is NOT
|
||
advised as corn injury could result .
|
||
• Early postemergence applications of Saflufenacil CS
|
||
should be made with water as the carrier . Sprayable fluid
|
||
fertilizer as an herbicide carrier for early postemergence
|
||
applications in corn can typically cause corn injury up to
|
||
and including tissue burn (necrosis) . Sprayable fluid fertil-
|
||
izer as a carrier is NOT advised for use with
|
||
Saflufenacil CS after crop emergence unless typical
|
||
fertilizer burn symptoms are acceptable .
|
||
• Make applications of Saflufenacil CS promptly after
|
||
preparing the spray mixture . Avoid use of spray solutions
|
||
of Saflufenacil CS which have been allowed to stand or
|
||
have been stored in application equipment or the mix
|
||
tank for an extended period of time as corn injury could
|
||
result .
|
||
Fallow and Postharvest Croplands
|
||
Saflufenacil CS may be used for residual control of
|
||
broadleaf weeds at any time of the year during the fallow
|
||
period following crop harvest and before the following crop
|
||
is planted .
|
||
Application Rate and Timing
|
||
Saflufenacil CS may be applied in a single application or
|
||
in sequential applications .
|
||
For residual broadleaf weed control, apply
|
||
Saflufenacil CS at 5 .3 to 10 .5 fl ozs/A .
|
||
Specific rotational crop planting intervals must be
|
||
observed between application of Saflufenacil CS and
|
||
planting of the following crop (see Table 4 for rotational
|
||
crop planting intervals) .
|
||
Crop-specific Restrictions
|
||
• DO NOT apply more than 10 .5 fl ozs/A of
|
||
Saflufenacil CS (0 .089 lb ai/A of saflufenacil) in a single
|
||
application .
|
||
• DO NOT apply more than 15 .8 fl ozs/A of
|
||
Saflufenacil CS (0 .134 lb ai/A of saflufenacil) as a maxi-
|
||
mum cumulative amount from sequential applications in
|
||
fallow and postharvest croplands per cropping season .
