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
|
|
REQUIEM® EC is a contact insecticide/acaricide for use in the control or suppression of many foliage feeding pests including
|
|
aphids, thrips, plant-feeding mites, whiteflies, mealy bugs, leafminers, lygus bugs, scale, leaf hoppers, and lepidopterous insects
|
|
infesting labeled crops. The emulsifiable concentrate of REQUIEM EC must be mixed with water and applied as a foliar spray with
|
|
-equipment-equipped for-conventionaUnsecticide spraying. — -. _ _ ... . . ... _ . . ._ .
|
|
REQUIEM EC is toxic to aquatic invertebrates. Users must maintain the buffer zones specified in the application instruction
|
|
sections for ground and aerial applications. Do not apply when a rain event is expected within 2 hours.
|
|
Do not apply this product through any type of irrigation system.
|
|
IMPORTANT: READ CONDITIONS FOR SALE AND WARRANTY BEFORE USE
|
|
APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
|
|
General
|
|
Use REQUIEM EC early in the pest cycle when local thresholds are reached or before insects reach damaging levels. REQUIEM
|
|
EC is a contact insecticide and thorough coverage is necessary for optimum control. Use appropriate nozzles and nozzle
|
|
configurations, along with sufficient spray volume to achieve thorough coverage. Rates of REQUIEM EC may need to increase
|
|
with increased insect populations and/or large plant canopies. It is not necessary to use a surfactant with REQUIEM EC.
|
|
When using REQUIEM EC with a new crop, test on a small area before applying to the entire field. Do not apply REQUIEM EC
|
|
more than 10 times per crop production cycle.
|
|
c c
|
|
Spray Drift °Lt cl
|
|
Avoiding spray drift at the application site is the responsibility of the applicator. The interaction of meny>e<sji£ipment- ancd weather-
|
|
related factors determine the potential for spray drift. The applicator and the grower/treatment coordinator Ire responsible for
|
|
considering all of these factors when making decisions. Where states have more stringent regulatory, ,*fee,yt>should be observed.
|

Refer to the Aerial Drift Reduction Information section of this label for additional directions and precautio;r}s..applicabj9ci6<bnth
|
|
ground and aerial applications. -1 c c c C ••c" c
|

|
|
|
|
Ground
|
|
This product can be applied by commonly used ground equipment, such as groundboom, hose-end, pressurized, air-blast,
|
|
greenhouse and hand-held sprayers. Consult spray nozzle and accessory catalogues for specific information on proper
|
|
equipment calibration. Maintain agitation during mixing and application to assure uniform product suspension. Thorough
|
|
coverage of all foliage is essential for effective pest control or suppression. Use the application rate, indicated for the appropriate
|
|
crop in the Application Rate tables of this label, in sufficient water to achieve thorough coverage. Overall, to achieve good
|
|
coverage, use proper spray pressure, gallonage per acre, nozzles, nozzle spacing and ground speed.
|
|
Groundboom and air-blast spray applicators must not apply within 15 feet of aquatic habitats (such as, but not limited to, lakes,
|
|
reservoirs, rivers, streams, marshes, ponds, estuaries, and commercial fish ponds). Groundboom and air-blast applicators must
|
|
also account for wind direction and speed. Only apply this product if the wind direction favors on-target deposition. Do not apply
|
|
when the wind velocity exceeds 10 mph.
|
|
Use of air-blast spray equipment may result in overhead exposure and requires the use of chemical-resistant headgear.
|
|
Aerial
|
|
This product can be applied by aerial application. Use the application rate indicated for the appropriate crop in the Application
|
|
Rate tables of this label in sufficient water to achieve thorough coverage, typically between 2-20 gallons of water per acre
|
|
depending upon the crop. Aerial applicators must not apply within 400 feet of aquatic habitats (such as, but not limited to, lakes,
|
|
reservoirs, rivers, streams, marshes, ponds, estuaries, and commercial fish ponds).
|
|
MIXING INSTRUCTIONS
|
|
Shake container well before use. REQUIEM EC must be diluted with water for spray applications. Partially fill the spray tank with
|
|
clean water and begin agitation. Add the specified amount of REQUIEM EC to the tank. Finish filling the tank to the proper volume
|
|
_to obtain the desired application j^ate_per acre as specjfiedjnjhejprqp and.pest_tables_listed_bejowjt i!_crJticaLthat.the spray
|
|
solution be agitated during mixing and application to ensure a uniform suspension. Do not allow spray mixture to stand overnight
|
|
or for prolonged periods. When applying REQUIEM EC via ground application, use dilutions no more concentrated than 2% v/v.
|
|
Compatibility: Do not combine REQUIEM EC in the spray tank with other pesticides, surfactants, adjuvants, or fertilizers if there
|
|
has been no previous experience or use of the combination to show it is physically compatible, and non-injurious under your use
|
|
conditions.
|
|
Do not use REQUIEM EC in tank mixes or in a program or in rotation with products containing captan (with REQUIEM EC either
|
|
preceding or following captan applications) in any crop. Use of REQUIEM EC with captan-containing products may result in
|
|
phytotoxicity.
|
|
Do not use REQUIEM EC in tank mixture combinations or in rotation with any product containing a label warning against using
|
|
surfactants, methylated seed oils, oils or other adjuvants.
|
|
As with many Emulsifiable Concentrate (EC) formulations, certain combinations can exacerbate phytotoxicity problems. Products
|
|
which are phytotoxic when used alone may be more phytotoxic when used with an EC formulation such as REQUIEM EC. Bayer
|
|
CropScience has not tested all varieties and cultivars of all crops and potential tank-mix or rotational combinations.
|
|
To ensure crop safety, test REQUIEM EC in combination and in rotation with other products on a small portion of the crop. Wait at
|
|
least 24-72 hours to evaluate results before applying to the entire field. If phytotoxicity is noted, and if it is determined that the
|
|
leveltof phvtotoxicity will result in economic losses to the crop, do not make the application to the crop.
|
|
« c \c e i j
|
|
To ensure physical compatibility of tank-mix combinations they must be evaluated prior to use. When products are physically
|
|
compatible, a homJjEjgfieaus solution is formed. To determine the physical compatibility of this product with other products, use a
|
|
jar test. Using a qiSart jar.cadd the proportionate amounts of the products to approximately one quart of water with agitation. Add
|
|
dry formulations firet,ct<hon flowables, then emulsifiable concentrates last. After thorough mixing, allow this mixture to stand for 15
|
|
mintif^s?ff,the mixtesin the test jar remains uniform for 15 minutes, the combination is compatible and can be used. If
|
|
separation occurs (c^g^ojls float to top, clumps of solids form, etc.), the combination is incompatible and do not use the
|
|
mixture. Once compqfihility has been proven, use the same procedure for adding required ingredients to the spray tank.

PREHARVEST INTERVAL
|
|
REQUIEM EC can be applied up to and including the day of harvest. However, note that the restricted entry interval (REI) is 4
|
|
hours.
|
|
AERIAL DRIFT REDUCTION INFORMATION
|
|
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/treatment coordinator are responsible for
|
|
considering all of these factors when making decisions. Where states have more stringent regulations, they should be observed.
|
|
Note: This section is advisory in nature and does not supersede the mandatory label requirements.
|
|
All application equipment must be properly maintained and calibrated using appropriate carriers.
|
|
Information on Droplet Size
|
|
When used for aerial applications, the best drift management strategy is to apply the largest droplets that provide sufficient
|
|
-eoverage-and-control.-Applying-larger-droplets will-reduce-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 manufacturer's specified pressures. For many nozzle types, lower pressure produces larger
|
|
droplets. When high 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 the recommended practice. Significant deflection from 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 that are oriented straight back produce the largest
|
|
droplets and the lowest drift. Use medium or coarser spray according to the ASAE 572 definition for standard nozzles or VIVID for
|
|
spinning atomizer nozzles.
|
|
Boom Width
|
|
For aerial applications using fixed-wing aircraft, the boom width must not exceed 75% of the wingspan. For aerial applications
|
|
using helicopters, the boom width must not exceed 90% of the rotary blade. <- c
|
|
Application Height
|
|
Do not release spray at a height greater than 10 feet above the top of the ground or the crop canopy unless a greater height is
|
|
required for aircraft safety. Making applications at the lowest height that is safe reduces exposure of crbpfets to evaporation and
|
|
wind. If application includes a no-spray zone, do not release spray at a height greater than 10 feet above ground.drWhppy.t C i. C C ( C C
|
|
t C
|
|
Swath Adjustment " ""' t ,
|
|
Use upwind swath displacement. When applications are made with a crosswind, the swath will be displaced dow^tw'avd1
|
|
Therefore, on the upwind and downwind edges of the field, the applicator must compensate for this displacement by adjusting the
|
|
path of the aircraft upwind. Swath adjustment distance should increase with increasing drift potential (higher wind, srnalfer drops,
|
|
etc.).
|
|
|
|
Wind
|
|
Apply only when wind speed is 3 -10 miles per hour as measured by an anemometer. Drift potential is lowest between wind
|
|
speeds of 3 - 10 miles per hour. Many factors, however, including droplet size and equipment type, determine drift potential at
|
|
any given speed. NOTE: Local terrain can influence wind patterns. Every applicator should be familiar with local wind patterns
|
|
and how 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
|
|
Do not apply during a temperature inversion because drift potential is high. Temperature inversions restrict vertical air mixing,
|
|
which causes small, suspended droplets to remain in a concentrated cloud. This cloud 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, if fog 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.
|
|
Sensitive Areas
|
|
The pesticide should only be applied when the potential for drift to adjacent, sensitive areas (e.g., residential areas, bodies of
|
|
water, known habitat for threatened or endangered species, non-target crops) is minimal (e.g., when wind is blowing away from
|
|
the sensitive areas). Do not allow spray to drift from the application site and contact people^structures^people occupy at any time
|
|
~any~ther^ssociatea"property, parks and recreation areas, "ribntargefcrbps, aquatic^and wetlaTid^re^s7wo6dlahds, pastures^

|
|
aerial applications.

|
|
Compatibility
|
|
Do not combine METRONOME EC in the spray tank with other pesticides, surfactants, adjuvants, or fertilizers if there has
|
|
been no previous experience or use of the combination to show it is physically compatible, and non-injurious under your
|
|
use conditions.
|
|
Do not use METRONOME EC in tank mixes or in a program or in rotation with products containing captan (with
|
|
METRONOME EC either preceding or following captan applications) in any crop. Use of METRONOME EC with captan-
|
|
containing products may result in phytotoxicity.
|
|
Do not use METRONOME EC in tank mixes or in a program or in rotation with products containing chlorothalonil in any
|
|
crop. Do not apply products containing chlorothalonil within 4 days after application of METRONOME EC. Do not apply
|
|
METRONOME EC for 30 days following an application of chlorothalonil Use of METRONOME EC with chlorothalonil-
|
|
containing products may result in phytotoxicity.

TtfetlsUje physical compatibility of tank-mix combinations they must be evaluated prior to use. When products are
|
|
physically compatible, a homogeneous solution is formed. To determine the physical compatibility of this product with
|
|
otheryroducts, use a jar test. Using a quart jar, add the proportionate amounts of the products to approximately one quart
|
|
of wateVwith agitation. Add dry formulations first, then flowables, then emulsifiable concentrates last. After thorough mixing,
|
|
|
|
allow this mixture to stand for 15 minutes. If the mixture in the test jar remains uniform for 15 minutes, the combination is
|
|
compatible and can be used. If separation occurs (e.g. oils float to top, clumps of solids form, etc.), the combination is
|
|
incompatible and do not use the mixture. Once compatibility has been proven, use the same procedure for adding required
|
|
ingredients to the spray tank. Test the combination on a small number of plants to check for phytotoxicity before treating
|
|
large areas. Do not use the combination if adverse effects are observed.
|
|
PLANTS EVALUATED FOR PHYTOTOXICITY
|
|
METRONOME EC has been evaluated alone in a wide range of crops and ornamentals. However, since testing on all
|
|
varieties of all ornamentals is not feasible, testing a small portion of the area to be treated for phytotoxicity is required
|
|
before treating the entire area. Further, all possible combinations or sequences of pesticide sprays, including other
|
|
fertilizers, surfactants, adjuvants and other pesticides, have not been tested, thus testing for compatibility and phytotoxicity
|
|
of spray mixtures is required. Use the product in accordance with all label use directions. It is further required that spray
|
|
equipment used to apply METRONOME EC be thoroughly cleaned before use.
|
|
Phytotoxicity has occasionally been observed following the use of this product on flowers of Cyclamen, Gerbera, Begonia,
|
|
and Impatiens. Do not use METRONOME EC on flowering Cyclamen, Gerbera, Begonia, and Impatiens.
|
|
