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).

|
||
Dear Mr. Formella:
|
||
The amended labeling referred to above, submitted in connection with registration under the Federal
|
||
Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), as amended, is 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.
|
||
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
|
||
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 company’s 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 EPA may consider false or misleading.
|
||
In addition, regardless of whether a website is referenced on your product’s label, claims made on the
|
||
website may not substantially differ from those claims approved through the registration process.
|
||
Therefore, should EPA find or if it is brought to our attention that a website contains statements or
|
||
claims substantially differing from statements or claims made in connection with obtaining a FIFRA
|
||
section 3 registration, the website will be referred to EPA’s 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.

PRECAUTIONARY STATEMENTS
|
||
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
|
||
Applicators and other handlers (except treated seed baggers and bag sewers) must wear:
|
||
• long-sleeved shirt
|
||
• long pants
|
||
• waterproof gloves
|
||
• shoes plus socks
|
||
• A NIOSH-approved particulate respirator with any N, R, or P filter with NIOSH approval
|
||
number prefix TC-84A; or a NIOSH-approved powered air purifying respirator with an HE
|
||
filter with NIOSH approval number prefix TC-21C. (Repeated exposure to high
|
||
concentrations of microbial proteins can cause allergic sensitization.)
|
||
|
||
Treated seed baggers and bag sewers must wear:
|
||
• long-sleeved shirt
|
||
• long pants
|
||
• shoes plus socks
|
||
• A NIOSH-approved particulate respirator with any N, R, or P filter with NIOSH approval
|
||
number prefix TC-84A; or a NIOSH-approved powered air purifying respirator with an HE
|
||
filter with NIOSH approval number prefix TC-21C. (Repeated exposure to high
|
||
concentrations of microbial proteins can cause allergic sensitization.)
|
||
|
||
|
||
Follow manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning/maintaining PPE. If no such instructions for
|
||
washables exist, use detergent and hot water. Keep and wash PPE separately from other
|
||
laundry.
|
||
|
||
Engineering Controls
|
||

|
||
requirements listed in the Worker Protection Standard (WPS) for agricultural pesticides, (40CFR
|
||
170.607 (d) and (e) (f for aerial application), 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, such as a spill or equipment breakdown.
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
Product Information
|
||
F4018-4 is a soluble seed treatment formulation that provides early season protection of
|
||
seedlings against Rhizoctonia and Fusarium spp. in a variety of crops as well as suppression of
|
||
lesion nematode in corn, root-knot nematode in corn and soybeans, and soybean cyst
|
||
nematode in soybeans. Seed must be sound and well-cured before treatment.
|
||
|
||
Seed Treatment Equipment
|
||
F4018-4 may be used both for commercial and for on-farm application. F4018-4 can be applied
|
||
with mechanical, slurry, or mist-type seed treating equipment, as long as the equipment can be
|
||
calibrated to accurately and uniformly apply the product to seed without undue mechanical
|
||
damage to the seed. Uniform application to seed is important for all seed treatment products.
|
||
|
||
Application Instructions
|
||
Seed must be sound and well-cured before treatment. Refer to the application rates below.
|
||
F4018-4 is diluted with chlorine-free water and/or mixed with other products to attain an
|
||
appropriate slurry application volume (fl oz/cwt slurry rates) to provide effective treatment. Mix
|
||
F4018-4 (application rates below) with a sufficient quantity of chlorine-free water and/or other
|
||
products to attain a final targeted slurry rate of at least 4 fl oz/cwt. of seed on large seed crops
|
||
such as corn and soybeans. On smaller size seeds such as grass or canola, a final targeted
|
||
slurry rate of at least 8 fl oz/cwt. of seed is necessary to ensure adequate and uniform
|
||
coverage. The appropriate volume of slurry depends on crop, temperature, humidity, type of
|
||
treater, and other factors and must be adjusted per normal treating practices for the
|
||
circumstances. Contact your local supplier or distributor representative for additional
|
||
specifications for slurry volumes and questions on any tank mixes or restrictions.
|
||
|
||
F4018-4 plus chlorine-free water and/or other products must be mixed thoroughly prior to
|
||
treating seed. Recalibrate treating equipment to compensate for the required slurry rate to
|
||
ensure all products are applied at the correct application rate.
|
||
|
||
NOTE: This product does not contain dye and is not covered by an appropriate tolerance,
|
||
tolerance exemption, or other clearance under the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act. To
|
||
comply with 40 CFR 153.155, therefore, all seed treated commercially 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.
|
||
|
||
Do not use F4018-4 in combination with other seed treatment products unless compatibility has
|
||
been verified. Read and follow carefully all label directions of each product used in the treating
|
||
mixture. When using combinations of products, the most restrictive of label limitations and
|
||
precautions must be followed.
|
||

|
||
only those seeds needed for immediate use, minimizing the interval between treatment and
|
||
planting. Care must be exercised in the handling of treated seed. Augers used for handling
|
||
treated seed must not be used to move seed for feed, food or oil processing. Do not re-use
|
||
bags from treated seed to handle food or feed products.
|
||
|
||
|
||
STORAGE AND DISPOSAL
|
||

||
container. Do not reuse or refill this container. Triple rinse container (or equivalent) promptly
|
||
after emptying. Triple rinse as follows: Empty the remaining contents into application equipment
|
||
or a mix tank, and drain for 10 seconds after the flow begins to drip. Add water – at least 2% of
|
||
the container volume, and up to ⅓ of the volume of water needed to make the proper slurry
|
||
composition with a maximum of ¼ of the container volume, and recap. Shake for 30 seconds.
|
||
Pour rinsate into application equipment or a mix tank, or store rinsate for later use or disposal.
|
||
Drain for 10 seconds after the flow begins to drip. Repeat this procedure two more times. If
|
||
used in application equipment, adjust the slurry volume application rate to account for any
|
||
added rinsate water. Then offer container for recycling, if available, or reconditioning, if
|
||
appropriate, or puncture and dispose of in a sanitary landfill or by incineration.
|
||
Nonrefillable Plastic Containers (Containers greater than 5 gallons): Nonrefillable
|
||
container. Do not reuse or refill this container. Triple rinse container (or equivalent) promptly
|
||
after emptying. Triple rinse as follows: Empty the remaining contents into application equipment
|
||

|
||
water needed to make the proper slurry composition with a maximum of 1/4 of the container
|
||
volume. Replace and tighten closures. Tip container on its side and roll it back and forth,
|
||
ensuring at least one complete revolution, for 60 seconds. Stand the container on its end and tip
|
||
