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).

GENERAL INFORMATION
|
||
Bicep Lite II is a selective herbicide recommended before planting, before
|
||
or after emergence (see directions) for control of most annual grasses
|
||
and broadleaf weeds in com. Bicep Lite II can also be used before crop
|
||
emergence for control of most annual grassG.;and broadleaf weeds in
|
||
grain or forage sorghum, provided the sorghum seed has been properly
|
||
treated by the seed company with Concep® or Screen®. This product
|
||
may be tank-mixed with Banvel®, BladeX® (4L or 90DF), Dual® formula
|
||
tions, Extrazine@ II, LoroX® or equivalent, or Princep® 4L (Caliber 90®)
|
||
for weed control in conventional tillage com. This product may also be
|
||
tank-mixed with other herbicides specified on this label for weed control in
|
||
conventional, minimum till, and no-till corn, grain sorghum, or forage
|
||
sorghum.
|
||
Note: Tank mixtures are permitted only in those states where the tank
|
||
mix partner is registered.
|
||
Following many years of continuous use of atrazine (one of the ingredi
|
||
ents in Bicep Lite II) and products chemically related to atrazine, biotypes
|
||
of some of the weeds listed on this label which are controlled by the
|
||
atrazine component have been reported to develop resistance to this and
|
||
chemically related herbicides. Where this is known or suspected, and
|
||
weeds controlled by this product are expected to be present along with
|
||
resistant biotypes, we recommend the use of Bicep Lite II in combination
|
||
or in sequence with registered herbicides which do not contain triazines.
|
||
Consult with your State Agricultural Extension Service for specific
|
||
recommendations.
|
||
Precautions: (1) If sorghum seed is not properly pretreated with Concep
|
||
or Screen, Bicep Lite /I will severely injure the crop. (2) Injury may occur
|
||
to corn or sorghum following the use of Bicep Lite /I under abnormally
|
||
high soil moisture conditions during early development of the crop.
|
||
Bicep Lite II alone or in tank mixture with Banvel, Bladex, Dual, Extrazine
|
||
11, or Princep may be applied early preplant, preplant incorporated,
|
||
preplant surface, or preemergence on corn in water or fluid fertilizer.
|
||
Apply postemergence treatments of Bicep Lite II to corn using water only
|
||
as the carrier. Bicep Lite 11 may be applied in tank-mix combination with, ::: : '
|
||
Gramoxone Extra, Landmaster BW, or Roundup with or without the abov~, ,
|
||
herbicides early preplant, preplant surface, or preemergence to corn. :' ., •

|
||
level below that generally considered accep:able for commercial weed
|
||
control.
|
||
Dry Weather following preemergence applicaion of Bicep Lite II or a tank
|
||
mixture may reduce effectiveness. CultivatE if weeds develop in conven
|
||
tional tillage com or sorghum.
|
||
Observe all precautions and limitations on me label of each product used
|
||
in tank mixtures.
|
||
Thoroughly clean sprayer or other applicatim device before using.
|
||
Dispose of cleaning solution in a responsible manner. Do not use a
|
||
sprayer or applicator contaminated with other materials, or crop damage
|
||
or sprayer clogging of the application device may cccur.
|
||
Mixing Instructions
|
||
Thoroughly recirculate containers and bulk tanks before using. Bicep Lite
|
||
II is a liquid that may be mixed with water of flui,d fertilizer and applied as
|
||
a spray. Bicep Lite II may also be sprayed onto dry bulk granular fertilizer
|
||
and applied with the granular fertilizer.
|
||
Dry Bulk Granular Fertilizers
|
||
Many dry bulk granular fertilizers may be il11Jregnated or coated with
|
||
Bicep Lite II and used to control weeds in com or Concep-treated
|
||
sorghum.
|
||
When applying Bicep Lite II with dry bulk granular fertilizers, follow all
|
||
directions for use and precautions on the Bicep Lite II label regarding
|
||
target crops, rates per acre, soil texture, application methods, and
|
||
rotational crops.
|
||
All individual state regulations relating to dry bulk granular fertilizer blend- •• ,' , '
|
||
ing, registration, lab~ling, and application are the responsibility of the :'.'.
|
||
individual and/or company selling the herbicdefiertilizer mixture. ' •.
|
||
• t"" . ..
|
||
Prepare the herbicide/fertilizer mixture by using any closed drum, h9lt,
|
||
ribbon, or other commonly used dry bulk fertilizer blender. Nozzles, used : .",
|
||
to spray Bicep Lite II onto the fertilizer must be placed to providE. 'or,iinrm ' •••
|
||
spray coverage. Care should be taken to am the spray onto the'ie'rtilizer ,
|
||
only, avoiding the walls of the blender. ' ,
|
||
, ., ...
|
||
|

|
||
If the herbicide/fertilizer mixture is too wet, add a highly absorptive
|
||
material, such as Agsorb® EG_ or Celatom MP-79®, or similar granular
|
||
clay or diatomaceous earth materials, to obtain a dry, free-flowing mixture.
|
||
Absorptive materials should be added only after the herbicide has been
|
||
thoroughly blended into the fertilizer mixture. Best application results will
|
||
be obtained by using a granule of 6/30 partic!", 'Oize or of a size similar to
|
||
that of the fertilizer material being used. Generally, less than 2% by
|
||
weight of absorptive material will be needed. Avoid using more than 5%
|
||
absorptive material by weight.

|
||
High humidity, high urea concentrations, low fertilizer use rates, and dusty
|
||
fertilizer may cause fertilizer mixtures to build up or plug the distributor
|
||
head, air tubes, or nozzle deflector plates. To minimize buildup, premix
|
||
Bicep Lite II with Exxon Aromatic 200 at a rate of 2.0-2.5 ptsJgal. of Bicep
|
||
Lite II. Aromatic 200 is a noncombustible/nonflammable petroleum prod
|
||
uct. Aromatic 200 may be used in either a fertilizer blender or through
|
||
direct injection systems. Drying agents should not be used when using
|
||
Aromatic 200.
|
||
Notes: (1) Mixtures of Bicep Lite II and Aromatic 200 must be used on
|
||
dry fertilizer only. Poor results or crop injury may result if these mixtures
|
||
are used in water or liquid fertilizer solutions for spraying applications.
|
||
(2) When impregnating Bicep Lite II in a blender before application, a
|
||
drier mixture can be attained by substituting a drying agent for Aromatic
|
||
200. The use of Agsorb F.G. or another drying agent of 6/30 particle size
|
||
is recommended. (3) Drying agents are not recommended for use with
|
||
On-The-Go impregnation equipment.
|
||
Precautions: To avoid potential for explosion, (1) Do not impregnate
|
||
Bicep Lite If on ammonium nitrate, potassium nitrate, or sodium nitrate ••••
|
||
either alone or in blends with other fertilizers. (2) Do not combine Bicep •••••
|
||
Lite If with a single $uperphosphate (0-20-0) or treble superphosphate (O~·. '.

cide/fertilizer mixture is essential in order to prevent possible crop injury
|
||
or injury to subsequent rotational crops. Non-uniform application may
|
||
also result in unsatisfactory weed control. In areas where conventional
|
||
tillage is practiced, a shallow incorporation of the mixture into the soil is
|
||
recommended to obt1iin satisfactory weed cortr01. On fine- or medium
|
||
textured soils in areas where soil incorporation is not planned, i.e.,
|
||
reduced tillage situations or in some conventional till situations, make
|
||
applications approximately 30 days before planting to allow moisture to
|
||
move the herbicide/fertilizer mixture into the soil. On coarse-textured
|
||
soils, make applications approximately 14 days prior to planting.
|
||
Precautions: (1) To help avoid rotational crop injury, make applications as
|
||
early as possible, since Bicep Lite /I impregnated onto dry bulk granular
|
||
fertilizers can be expected to last longer in the soil than when Bicep Lite
|
||
/I is applied as a spray in water or fluid fertilizer. (2) To avoid potential
|
||
crop injury, do not use the herbicide/fertilizer mixture on crops where
|
||
planting beds are to be formed.
|
||
Application in Water or Auid Fertilizers
|
||
Bicep Lite II Alone: Fill the spray tank 1/z-3/4 full with water or fluid
|
||
fertilizer, add the proper amount of Bicep Lite II, then add the rest of the
|
||
water or fluid fertilizer. Provide sufficient agitation during mixing and
|
||
application to maintain a uniform suspension.
|
||
Tank Mixtures: Fill the spray tank 1/z-3/4 full with water or fluid fertilizer,
|
||
add the proper amount of Bicep Lite II, then add Banvel, Lorox or equiva
|
||
lent, or Princep; next add Dual; then add Gramoxone Extra, Landmaster
|
||
BW, or Roundup, depending on the tank-mix combination desired; and
|
||
finally add the rest of the water or fluid fertilizer. When Bladex or
|
||
Extrazine II is used in the tank mixture, add it before Bicep Lite II, unless
|
||
otherwise specified. (See Bladex section under Bicep Lite II
|
||
Combinations - Corn for further mixing instructions.) Provide sufficient
|
||
agitation during mixing and application to maintain a uniform suspension.
|
||
Compatibility Test: Check the compatibility of Bicep Lite II and tank
|
||
mixtures in fluid fertilizer by mixing proportionate quantities in a small
|
||
container, as described below, before mixing in the spray tank. Nitrogen •••••
|
||
solutions or complete fluid fertilizers may replace all or part of the water iri····
|
||
the spray. Since liquid fertilizers can vary, even within the same analysis,:'. '.
|
||
always check compatibility each time before reuse. Be esp~.cJ?!ly .:.
|
||
careful when using complete suspension or fluid fertilizers, as ~eriOl?s
|
||
compatibility problems are more apt to occur. Commercial applic?tio:1
|
||
equipment may improve compatibility in some instances. The follo-;,ving : ,"
|
||
test assumes a spray volume of 25 gals.lA. For other spray vO!..lMes,
|

" ,
|
||
|
||
-9-
|
||
1. Add 1.0 pt. of fertilizer to each of 2 one-qt. jars with tight lids.
|
||
2. To one of the jars, add 1/4 tsp. or 1.2 milliliters of a compatibility
|
||
agent approved for this use, such as CompeX® or Unite® (1/4 tsp. is
|
||
equivalent to 2.0 pts.l100 gals. spray). Shake or stir gently to mix.
|
||
3. To both jars, add the appropriate amount of herbicide(s). If more
|
||
than one herbicide is used, add them separately with dry herbicides
|
||
first, flowables next, and emulsifiable concentrates last. After each
|
||
addition, shake or stir gently to thoroughly mix. The appropriate
|
||
amount of herbicides for this test follows:
|
||
Dry herbicides: For each pound to be applied per acre, add 1.4
|
||
teaspoons to each jar.
|
||
Liquid herbicides: For each pint to be applied per acre, add 0.5
|
||
teaspoon or 2.5 milliliters to each jar.
|
||
4. After adding all ingredients, put lids on and tighten, and invert each
|
||
jar 10 times to mix. Let the mixtures stand 15 minutes and then look
|
||
for separation, large flakes, precipitates, gels, heavy oily film on the
|
||
jar, or other signs of incompatibility. Determine if the compatibility
|
||
agent is needed in the spray mixture by comparing the 2 jars. If
|
||
either mixture separates, but can be remixed readily, the mixture can
|
||
be sprayed as long as good agitation is used. If the mixtures are
|
||
incompatible, test the following methods of improving compatibility:
|
||
(A) slurry the dry herbicide(s) in water before addition, or (8) add '12
|
||
of the compatibility agent to the fertilizer and the other '12 to the
|
||
emulsifiable concentrate or flowable herbicide before addition to the
|
||
mixture. If still incompatible, do not use the mixture.
|
||
5. After compatibility testing is complete, dispose of any pesticide
|
||
wastes in accordance with the directions in the Storage and
|
||
Disposal section at the end of this label.

Application Procedures
|
||
Ground Application: Use sprayers that provide accurate and uniform
|
||
application. Screens in nozzles and in suction and in-line strainers should
|
||
be no finer than 50-mesh. Use a pump with capacity to: (1) maintain 35-
|
||
40 psi at the nozzles, and (2) provide sufficient agitation in tank to keep
|
||
mixture in suspension. Unless otherwise specified, use a minimum of
|
||
1 0 gals. of spray mixture per acre. Rinse sprayer thoroughly with clean
|
||
water immediately after use.
|
||
For band applications, calculate amount to be applied per acre as follows:
|
||
band width in inches
|
||
row width in inches X
|
||
.. broadcast rate
|
||
per acre
|
||
amount needed
|
||
== .. - per acre of field
|
||
Low Carrier Application (Broadcast Ground Application Only): Use
|
||
sprayers, such as Ag-Chem RoGator®, Hagie, John Deere Hi-Cycle™,
|
||
John Deere 4700 Sprayer, Melroe Spra-Coupe, Tyler Pa~rioFM, or Willmar
|
||
Air Ride®, that provide accurate and uniform application. Only water
|
||
may be used as a carrier. Screens in suction and in-line strainers
|
||
should be 50-mesh. Manufacturers may require that tip screens as fine
|
||
as 100-mesh be used with some nozzles. Use a pump with capacity to:
|
||
(1) maintain up to 35-40 psi at the nozzles, and (2) provide sufficient agi
|
||
tation in tank to keep mixture in suspension. Use a minimum of 5.0 gals.
|
||
of spray mixture per acre. Maximum recommended sprayer speed is 15
|
||
mph. Maintain uniform travel speed while spraying. Rinse sprayer
|
||
thoroughly with clean water immediately after each use. .
|
||
Note: Low pressure nozzles are recommended to reduce drift and
|
||
increase application accuracy. When using automatic rate controlling , , , ,
|
||
devices, care should be taken to spray the material within the rated work- ' '" , '
|
||
ing pressure and fio,w ranges of the nozzle selected. Nozzle screens : " "
|
||
should be used when recommended by the manufacturer. All nozzles " ,
|
||
should be placed on 20-inch centers, except flooding types which' shtiuld
|
||
" ,
|
||
be placed on 40-inch centers. When Flat Fan-type nozzles are ti~e<;l, :
|
||
angles of 80· or 110· are recommended .. Always read and follow til'"
|
||
manufacturer's directions for optimum setup and performance 'of the:i~,
|
||
nozzles or tips.
|
||
( . : ~
|
||
Aerial Application (for Bicep Lite II alone): Use aerial application only
|
||
where broadcast applications are specified. Apply a minimum of 1.0 gal. , ,
|
||
, ,
|
||
|
||
(
|
||
-11-
|
||
of water for each 1.0 gal. of this product applied per acre, but for rates
|
||
below 1.0 galJA, use in sufficient water to equal 2.0 galsJA of total spray.
|
||
Avoid applications under conditions where uniform coverage cannot be
|
||
obtained or where excessive spray drift may occur. In order to assure
|
||
that spray will be controllable within the target area when used according
|
||
to the label directicn8, make applications at 8 maximum height of 10 ft.,
|
||
using low-drift nozzles at a maximum pressure of 40 psi, and restrict
|
||
application to periods when wind speed does not exceed 10 mph. To
|
||
assure that spray will not adversely affect adjacent sensitive non-target
|
||
plants, apply Bicep Ute II by aircraft at a minimum upwind distance of 400
|
||
ft. from sensitive plants.
|
||
Avoid application to humans or animals. Flagmen and loaders should
|
||
avoid inhalation of spray mist and prolonged contact with skin.

|
||
Early Preplant: For coarse-textured soils, apply 2.4 qts. of Bicep Lite II
|
||
no earlier than 2 weeks before planting. For medium- and fine-textured
|
||
soils, Bicep Lite II may be applied as a split treatment, by applying 213 the

recommended rate 30-45 days before planting, followed by the remaining
|
||
'Is rate at planting. See Table 1. Applications made less than 30 days
|

before planting may be either split or single applications. For all soils,
|
||
Bicep Lite II must be tank-mixed with a contact herbicide (e.g.,
|
||
Gramoxone Extra or Roundup) if weeds are present at the time of treat-·
|
||
ment. If large-seeded dicots are present in the field, an application of an
|

gence. Observe the directions for use, precautions, and restrictions of all
|
||
herbicides used in tank mixtures or as sequentials to Bicep Lite II. If the
|
||
postemergence product contains atrazine, do not exceed the maximum
|
||
use rates for that soil or location.
|

On medium- and fine-textured soils, following final seedbed preparation in
|
||
the Blacklands and Gulf Coast areas of TX, an early preplant application
|
||
of Bicep Lite II at 1.8-2.2 qts.lA may be made 30-45 days before planting.

|
||
Early Preplant (Sorghum-Seed Treated with Concep or Screen): For
|
||
minimum-tillage and no-tillage systems only, Bicep Lite II may be applied
|
||
up to 45 days before planting grain sorghum in lA, Il, eastem KS, MO,
|
||
NE, and SO, using the rates from Table 5. Us~ 0nly split applications for
|
||
treatments made 30-45 days before planting with 2/3 the recommended
|
||
rate applied initially and the remaining 113 at planting. Applications made
|
||
less than 30 days prior to planting may be made as either a split or single
|
||
application.
|
||
If weeds are present at the time of treatment, apply in a tank-mixture
|
||
combination with a contact herbicide (for example, Gramoxone Extra,
|
||
landmaster BW, or Roundup). Observe directions for use, precautions,
|
||
and restrictions on the label of the contact herbicide. Under dry condi
|
||
tions, irrigation after application is recommended to move Bicep Lite II
|
||
. into the soil.
|
||
Note: To the extent possible, do not move treated soil out of the row or
|
||
move untreated soil to the surface during planting, or weed control will be
|
||
diminished. Do not use on coarse soils. Do not use on medium soils with
|
||
less than 1.0% organic matter.
|
||
On medium- and fine-textured soils, following final seedbed preparation in
|
||
the Blacklands and Gulf Coast areas of DC, all early preplant application
|
||
of Bicep Lite II at 1.8-2.2 qts.!A may be made 30-45 days before planting.
|
||
Grass suppression of 2-3 weeks after planting can be expected as a
|
||
result of this application. Do not incorporate or distUrb the soil before
|
||
planting and avoid moving the soil during the planting operation. A follow
|
||
up application of Dual may be needed in fields with a history of heavy
|
||
grass pressure. Apply after planting, but before sorghum and grass
|
||
weeds emerge.
|
||
Notes: (1) Do not use on soils with a pH greater than 8.0 it grain
|
||
sorghum is to be planted. (2) If a follow-up application of Dual is needed,
|
||
do not exceed a total of 2.25 Ibs. aJ. of metolachlor per acre, including
|
||
the early preplant Bicep lite II application on medium-textured soils. On
|
||
fine-textured soils, do not exceed 2.5 Ibs. a.i. of metolachlor per acre.

cation can cause excessive concentrations of herbicide in the furrow.
|
||
(3) Do not apply to sorghum grown under dry mulch tillage. (4) Injury
|
||
may occur if both Bicep Lite 1/ applied early prep/ant, prep/ant surface,
|
||
prep/ant incorporated, or preemergence and an at-planting systemic •••••
|
||
insecticide applied in-furrow are used. (5) /n addition, sorghum growing • , • ,

|
||
soybeans planted the year following application on soils having a
|
||
calcareous surface layer. (4) In eastern parts of the Dakotas, KS,
|
||
western MN, and NE, do not rotate to soybeans for 18 months following
|
||
application if the rate applied to com or sorgrum was more than 2.0 Ibs.
|
||
a.i. of atrazine or equivalent band application rate, or soybean injury may
|
||
occur. (5) If applied after June 10, do not rotate with crops other than com
|
||
or sorghum the next year, or crop injury may occur. (6) In the High Plains
|
||
and Intermountain areas of the West, where rainfall is sparse and erratic
|
||
or where irrigation is required, use only when com or sorghum is to follow
|
||
com or sorghum, or a crop of untreated com or sorghum is to precede
|
||
other rotational crops. (7) Do not plant sugar beets, tobacco, vegetables
|
||
(including dry beans), spring-seeded small grains, or small-seeded
|
||
legumes the year following application, or injury may occur. (8) All other

|
||
Notes: Do not use fertilizer or crop oil concentrate with these mixtures or
|
||
injury to field com may occur. The combination of Bicep Lite II with other
|
||
products for postemergence weed control in com is generally not recom
|
||
mended. These combinations may cause injury and/or weed control
|
||
concerns that would not exist when the products are used
|
||
separately. A certain inherent risk is involved with the various combina
|
||
tions of these products used postemergence in corn. [It should be noted
|
||
that early preplant, preplant incorporated, or preemergence control of
|
||
these weeds would usually provide more timely weed control resulting in
|
||
higher yields than total postemergence treatments.]
|
||
Mixing Order
|
||
Add these products to the tank mix in the following order:
|
||
1. Products in water-soluble bags should be added firs!.
|
||
2. Bicep Lite II
|
||
3. Additives
|
||
Precautions: (1) Follow all label instructions, precautions, and rota
|
||
tional restrictions for individual products when making these applica
|
||
tions to field corn. When Bicep Ute II is applied after June 10, crop injury
|
||
may occur the following year if you rotate to crops other than corn or
|
||
sorghum. (2) In-row weed control may be reduced because of lack of
|
||
coverage when applied to corn over 4 inches tall.

|
||
Environmental Hazards
|
||
For terrestrial uses, do not apply directly to water, or to areas where
|
||
surface water is present, or to intertidal areas below the mean high water
|
||
mark. Do not contaminate water when disposing of equipment wash
|
||
waters. This pesticide contains atrazine, which has been shown to be
|
||
toxic to aquatic invertebrates. Runoff and drift from treated areas may be
|
||
hazardous to aquatic organisms in neighboring areas.
|
||
Ground Water and Surface Water Advisory
|
||
Bicep Lite II contains both the active ingredients atrazine and metolachlor.
|
||
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.
|
||
", ,
|
||
, • t • Metolachlor has been identified in limited sampling of ground water and
|
||
there is the possibility that it may leach through the soil to ground water,
|
||
especially where soils are coarse and ground water is near the surface.
