Image rebuild (skip scrape) / build (push) Failing after 1h37m12s
docker: production image + Gitea Actions for monthly refresh
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).

Dear Mr. McCain:
The amended labeling and Confidential Statement of Formula (CSF) referred to above, submitted in
connection with registration under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), as
amended, are acceptable.
This approval does not affect any terms or conditions that were previously imposed on this registration.
You continue to be subject to existing terms or conditions on your registration and any deadlines
connected with them.
Please note that the record for this product currently contains the following acceptable CSFs:
• Basic CSF dated 06/02/2016
• Alternate CSF dated 04/01/2015
Any CSFs other than those listed above are superseded/no longer valid.
A stamped copy of your labeling is enclosed for your records. This labeling supersedes all previously
accepted labeling. You must submit one (1) copy of the final printed labeling before you release this
product for shipment with the new labeling. In accordance with 40 CFR § 152.130(c), you may
distribute or sell this product under the previously approved labeling for 18 months from the date of this
letter. After 18 months, you may only distribute or sell this product if it bears this new revised labeling

EPA Reg. No. 100-1524
OPP Decision Nos. 503845 & 506529
or subsequently approved labeling. “To distribute or sell” is defined under FIFRA section 2(gg) and its
implementing regulation at 40 CFR § 152.3.
Should you wish to add/retain a reference to your companys website on your label, then please be
aware that the website becomes labeling under FIFRA and is subject to review by the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). If the website is false or misleading, the product will be
considered to be misbranded and sale or distribution of the product is unlawful under FIFRA section
12(a)(1)(E). 40 CFR § 156.10(a)(5) lists examples of statements the EPA may consider false or
misleading. In addition, regardless of whether a website is referenced on your products label, claims
made on the website may not substantially differ from those claims approved through the registration
process. Therefore, should the EPA find or if it is 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 EPAs Office of Enforcement and Compliance Assurance.
Your release for shipment of this product constitutes acceptance of these terms. If these terms are not
complied with, this registration will be subject to cancellation in accordance with FIFRA section 6.
If you have any questions, please contact Ann Sibold by phone at (703) 305-6502 or via email at

planter box, slurry box, or other on-farm seed treatment applications.

PRODUCT INFORMATION
This product contains a biological nematicide for protection against the following
nematodes:
Soybean Cyst Nematode Heterodera glycines
Sugarbeet Cyst Nematode Heterodera schachtii
FOR USE AS A SEED TREATMENT
Treatment of highly mechanically scarred or damaged seed, or seed known to be
of low vigor and poor quality, except for the purpose of curative control of existing
disease pests, may result in reduced germination and/or reduction of seed and
seedling vigor. Treat a small quantity of seed using equipment similar to that
planned for treating the total seed lot. Conduct germination tests on a small
portion of seed before committing the total seed lot to a selected seed treatment.
Due to seed quality, crop or variety sensitivity, and seed storage conditions
beyond the control of manufacturer, no claims are made to guarantee the
germination of carry-over seed or propagating material for all crop seed.
Dilute SOYACYST™ ST Plus with water and apply directly to dry seed or mix with
inoculants and/or other seed treatment coatings (e.g., colorants, polymers, etc.),
registered insecticides and fungicides. All seed treatment coatings such as
colorants and/or polymers must be cleared as an inert for pre-harvest use. See 40
CFR 180.920. Do not mix SOYACYST™ ST Plus with any product containing a
label prohibition against such mixing. When tank-mixing with any other registered
SOYACYST ST Plus
[Alternate Brand Name: Clariva pn]
Page -6-
seed treatment insecticide and/or fungicide, always read and follow all use
directions, restrictions, and precautions of both SOYACYST™ ST Plus and the
tank mix partner(s). The resulting tank mix must be in accordance with the more
restrictive label limitations and precautions. Do not exceed label dosage rates.
Continuous agitation or mixing of the slurry mixture is necessary to prevent settling
out of the solution. Clean out any unused product from the treater after treating or
maintain constant agitation if the leftover slurry will be maintained overnight. Do
not store Clariva pn mixed in slurries for more than 72 hours.
NOTE: This product does not contain dye. Treated seed must be treated with a
dye cleared as an inert for preharvest use. See 40 CFR 180.920.
All seed treated
with this product must be colored with an EPA-approved dye or colorant of a
suitable color to prevent accidental use as food for humans or feed for animals.
The Federal Seed Act requires that bags containing seed treated with this product
shall be labeled with the following information: "This seed has been treated with
Pasteuria nishizawae - Pn1. Do not use for food, feed or oil purposes.”
SOYBEAN
For protection against soybean cyst nematode, apply 0.9 to 33.8 fl oz of
SOYACYST™ ST Plus per 100 lb (25 to 1000 mL per 45.4 kg) of soybean seed.
SUGARBEET
For protection against sugarbeet cyst nematode, apply 0.034 to 1.35 fl oz (1.0 to
40 mL) of SOYACYST™ ST Plus product per unit (100,000 seeds) of sugarbeet
seed.
