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 +

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).

6.0 WEED RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT
GROUP 15 HERBICIDE
Acetochlor, the active ingredient in this product, is a Group 15 herbicide based on the mode of action
classification system of the Weed Science Society of America. Any weed population can contain plants
naturally resistant to Group 15 herbicides.' Weed species resistant to Group 15 herbicides may be
effectively managed utilizing another herbicide from a different Group, or by using other cultural or
mechanical practices.
Reg. No. 524-473 Notified: 04-Dec-2012 Page 12 of 33
c c 7*7
General principles of herbicide resistance management
1. Apply integrated weed management practices. Use multiple herbicide modes-of-action
with overlapping weed spectrums in rotation, sequences, or mixtures.
2. Use the full specified herbicide rate and proper application timing for the hardest to
control weed species present in the field.
3. Scout fields after herbicide application to ensure control has been achieved. Avoid
allowing weeds to reproduce by seed or to proliferate vegetatively.
4. Monitor site and clean equipment between sites.
For annual cropping situations also consider the following:
• Start with a clean field and control weeds early by using a burndown treatment or tillage
in combination with a preemergence residual herbicide as appropriate.
• Use cultural practices such as cultivation and crop rotation, where appropriate.
• Use good agronomic principles that enhance crop competitiveness
• Use new commercial seed that is as free of weed seed as possible.
Report any incidence of repeated non-performance of this product on a particular weed to your
Monsanto representative, local retailer, or county extension agent.

8.2 Sprayer Compatibility
Always predetermine the compatibility of this product or labeled mixtures of this product with water carrier
or sprayable fluid fertilizer carrier by mixing small proportional quantities in advance. See the
"STANDARD SPRAYABLE FLUID FERTILIZER COMPATIBILITY TEST" section in this label to
determine the compatibility of this product and the labeled tank mixtures specified for use with sprayable
fluid fertilizer carrier.
Mix this product or labeled tank mixture of this product with the appropriate carrier as follows:
1. Place a 20- to 35-mesh screen or wetting basket over filling port.
2. Through the screen, fill the sprayer tank one-half full with appropriate carrier.
3. If a compatibility agent is necessary to improve mixing or to prevent the formation of undesirable and
unsprayable gels or precipitates, while agitating add it to the carrier already in the tank. Use only
compatibility agents cleared by FDA for this use. Read and follow all directions for use, cautionary
statements and all other information appearing on the selected compatibility agent label. Check for
adequate agitation.
4. If a wettable powder or dry flowable formulation is used, make slurry with water, and add it slowly
through the screen into the tank. Continue agitation.
5. If a flowable formation is used, add slowly through screen into the tank. Mixing and compatibility may
be improved when flowable is premixed one part flowable with one part water and added slowly to
the tank in diluted form.
6. Add this product slowly through the screen into the tank. Mixing and compatibility may be improved
when this product is prediluted with two parts of water and added to the tank in diluted form.
7. Complete filling the sprayer tank with carrier. If a Roundup® agricultural herbicide or a Gramoxone
brand herbicide is used, add the required amount near the end of the filling process. Remove hose
from tank immediately after filling to avoid siphoning back into the water source.
Maintain good agitation at all times until the contents of the tank are sprayed.
NOTE: If spray mixture is allowed to settle at any time, thorough agitation is required to resuspend the
mixture before spraying is resumed.
Reg. No. 524-473 Notified: 04-Dec-2012 Page 14 of 33
r
Keep bypass line on or near bottom of tank to minimize foaming. Screen size in nozzle or line strainers
should be no finer than 50-mesh. Carefully select proper nozzle to avoid spraying a fine mist. Check for
even distribution of spray droplets. For best results with ground application, use flat-fan or whirl-chamber
nozzle. To reduce loss of chemical due to drift of a fine mist, apply at pressures less than 40 psi.
8.3 Standard Sprayable Fluid Fertilizer Compatibility Test
Herbicides may not always mix evenly throughout a sprayable fluid fertilizer or the components may
separate too quickly to make their combined use of practical value. This may be due to certain
characteristics of the different fluid fertilizers. A simple test using small quantities of the components is
suggested to provide compatibility potential. The test follows:
A. Materials Required For A Compatibility Test
1. Two one-quart jars with lid or stopper (marked "with" and "without").
2. TEAspoons (for a more exacting test, a five to ten mNliliter (ml) pipette or graduated cylinder is
desirable).
3. Sprayable fluid fertilizer to be tested.
4. The herbicide chemicals to be mixed.
5. A compatibility agent (the purpose of the adjuvant is to help keep the fertilizer and crop protection
chemical in suspension, if this assistance is needed).
B. Procedure
1. Add one pint of the sprayable fluid fertilizer that will be used or other herbicide carrier to each jar
marked "with" and "without".
Add One Pint Liquid Fertilizer
To Two Quart Jars!
WITH . WITHOUT
2. To the jar marked "with", add 1/4 TEAspoon or 1.2 milliliters of a suitable compatibility agent; shake
gently for five to ten seconds to mix. (1/4 TEAspoon in one pint is the equivalent of two pints per
100 gallons of liquid fertilizer.)
To Jar Marked 'With"

This compatibility test is designed for 25 gallons of spray per acre with the maximum labeled rate of
herbicide. For changes in spray volume" or herbicide rate, make appropriate changes in the ingredients of
the test. Regardless of spray volume, the amount of compatibility agent should be equal to two or three
pints (two pints = 1/4 TEAspoon or 1.2 milliliters, three pints = 3/8 TEAspoon or 1.8 milliliters per pint of
sprayable fluid fertilizer) per 100 gallons of liquid fertilizer.
C. Observations and Decisions
1. If the herbicide(s) and the sprayable fluid fertilizer are compatible.
2. If a compatibility agent is necessary.
Five minutes after the final addition and mixing, observe both jars for the formation of large flakes, sludge,
gels or other precipitates. Observe if the herbicide(s) cannot be physically mixed with the liquid fertilizer
but remains as small oily particles in the solution.
If incompatibility in any form described above occurs in the jar "with" the compatibility agent added, the
liquid fertilizer and the herbicide(s) should not be used together in the same spray tank.
If incompatibility as described above occurs in the jar "without" the adjuvant but not in the jar "with"
adjuvant, the use of a compatibility adjuvant is recommended.
Both jars should be allowed to stand and be observed periodically for one-half hour. If the separate layers
of liquid fertilizer and additives can be resuspended by shaking, commercial application is possible. An
emulsifiable concentrate normally will go to the top after standing; wettable powders will either settle to
the bottom of the tank or jar, or float to the top, depending upon the density of the fertilizers.
If the herbicide(s) is compatible with fluid fertilizer in the foregoing test without having to use a
compatibility agent, fluid fertilizer may be used for the premixing. If it is not compatible without the
compatibility agent, the herbicide(s) should be premixed with water before adding to the spray tank.

10.0 APPLICATION TIMING AND METHODS
10.1 Early Preplan! Surface Application
This product and some labeled tank mixtures of this product may be applied in no-till and other
conservation tillage systems before weeds emerge and up to 45 days before planting field corn or silage
corn. Split applications can be made 30 to 45 days prior to planting with 60 percent of the specified
broadcast rate applied initially and the remaining 40 percent applied at planting. Applications made less
than 30 days prior to planting can be made either as a split or as a single application. If weeds are
present at the time of application, apply this product in a tank mixture with an appropriate contact
herbicide. Observe directions for use, precautions and restrictions on the label of the contact herbicide.
During the planting operation, be careful not to move untreated soil to the surface or move treated soil out
of the row, as weed control may be reduced.
10.2 Preplant Incorporation Application
This product and many of the labeled tank mixtures may be mixed into the soil using shallow
incorporation equipment any time within 14 days prior to planting. Apply the specified treatment rate to
the soil surface as a broadcast application. Either existing soil moisture or subsequent precipitation or
irrigation is required to bring incorporated herbicide treatments into contact with germinating weed
seedlings. If weeds emerge after treatment, rotary hoe or shallowly cultivate immediately to improve
performance.
Shallowly incorporate the treatment into the upper 1 to 2 inches of the soil. Equipment should be operated
at manufacturer's designed speed for incorporation to ensure adequate mixing and distribution of the
herbicide treatment in the soil. Equipment design including any drag attachments must be adequate to
avoid soil ridging which may result in streaked or reduced weed control. Equipment should be set to work
the soil NO DEEPER THAN 4 INCHES. Soil conditions, including moisture content and crop residue
levels, must be suitable to allow thorough and uniform mixing.
10.3 Preemergence Surface Application
This product and all labeled tank mixtures may be applied to the soil surface after planting and prior to
either crop or weed emergence. Apply within 5 days of last preplant tillage. If weeds emerge after
treatment, or if treatment is applied more than 5 days after last preplant tillage, rotary hoe or shallowly
cultivate immediately to improve performance. Precipitation or overhead sprinkler irrigation is required
after application to move the herbicide treatment into the weed germination zone. The amount of
precipitation or overhead sprinkler irrigation required depends on existing soil mixture, soil type and
percent organic matter content, but 1/4 to 3/4 inch is normally adequate. Performance is improved when
Reg. No. 524-473 Notified: 04-Dec-2012 ' Page 19 of 33
r c
moisture is received within 7 days after application and prior to weed emergence. High intensity or
excessive rainfall or excessive irrigation after application may reduce control.
10.4 Postemergence Surface Application
This product and certain tank mixtures may be applied postemergence until corn reaches 11 inches in
height. Application must be made prior to weed seedling emergence or in a tank-mixture that controls
emerged weeds. Read and follow all restrictions and directions on tank-mix product labels. Refer to the
specific treatment intended in the "DIRECTIONS FOR USE" section of the label to determine if
postemergence applications to corn are recommended and determine the proper weed and corn growth
stage limitations. Precipitation or overhead sprinkler irrigation is required after application to move the
herbicide treatment into the weed germination zone to control unemerged weeds. The amount of
precipitation or irrigation required depends on existing soil moisture, soil type and percent organic matter
content, but 1/4 to 3/4 inch is normally adequate. If weeds emerge after treatment, rotary hoe or
shallowly cultivate to improve performance.
DO NOT apply postemergence to sweet corn.
DO NOT make postemergence surface applications using sprayable fluid fertilizer as the carrier because
severe crop injury may occur.
10.5 Cultivation Information
Delay cultivation after application for as long as possible unless weeds or grasses emerge. Shallowly
cultivate or rotary hoe immediately if weeds or grasses emerge. If cultivation is necessary because of soil
crusting or compaction, set equipment shallow and minimize lateral soil movement to avoid dilution or
displacement of the herbicide treatment. If a band application is used and weeds have emerged in the
treated band, set cultivator to throw soil into the row covering the band

12.0 CONSERVATION OR MINIMUM TILLAGE SYSTEMS
NOTE:x Each section of this label provides treatment rates for this product and tank mixtures including this
product. Applications, which are not consistent with recommendations in this label, may result in
unsatisfactory weed control, injury to crops, persons or animals, or other unintended consequences.
Refer to specific product labels for crop rotation restrictions and cautionary statements of all products
used in these tank mixtures, including precautions on soil pH sensitive varieties, minimum re-cropping
interval and rotational guidelines.
Use the higher rates in the application rateranges in areas of heavy weed infestation or where otherwise
specified. If emerged weeds exist at planting, the application of a contact herbicide or tillage is
recommended when possible to eliminate existing weeds. Do not apply when conditions favor drift.
Detailed information regarding "APPLICATION SYSTEMS" and "APPLICATION TIMING AND
METHODS" should be carefully reviewed in conjunction with the information in this section. If the specific
information in this section differs from the "PRODUCT INFORMATION", the specific information should
control.
Reg. No. 524-473 Notified: 04-Dec-2012 Page 23 of 33
The tank-mix recommendations in the "CONVENTIONAL TILLAGE" section of this label may also be
followed when using "CONSERVATION OR MINIMUM TILLAGE SYSTEMS". Follow all label
precautions; directions and restrictions of tank-mix partners.
12.1 At-Planting Applications
When applied as directed under the conditions described, the specified tank mixtures control many
emerged annual weeds, suppress many emerged perennial weeds and give preemergence control of
many annual grasses and weeds when corn will be planted directly into a cover crop, established sod or
in previous crop residues. These tank mixtures will not control regrowth from perennial weeds.
Refer to specific product labels for crop rotation restrictions and cautionary statements of all products
used in these tank mixtures. For mixing instructions, see the "MIXING SPRAYING, AND HANDLING
INSTRUCTIONS" section of this label.
This product and tank mixtures with atrazine, Princep, Pursuit or atrazine plus Princep can be tank mixed
with Roundup agricultural herbicides, Gramoxone brand herbicides and/or 2,4-D.
Apply these tank mixtures with a Roundup agricultural herbicide or 2,4-D (amine or low volatile ester) in
10 to 20 gallons of water or 10 to 60 gallons of nitrogen solution per acre, or these tank mixtures with a
Gramoxone brand herbicide in 20 to 60 gallons of water or clear liquid fertilizer per acre immediately
before, during or after planting, but BEFORE .CROP EMERGENCE. As density of stubble, crop residue
or weeds increase, spray gallonage and rate should be increased within the application rate ranges to
ensure complete coverage. In the absence of emerged vegetation, delete the Roundup agricultural
herbicide, Gramoxone brand herbicide or 2,4-D portion of these tank mixtures.
Approved Application Systems
Ground: Broadcast boom
12.2 Control Or Suppression Of Emerged Weeds
ATTENTION: AVOID DRIFT. EXTREME CARE MUST BE USED WHEN APPLYING THESE TANK
MIXTURES TO PREVENT INJURY TO DESIRABLE PLANTS AND CROPS. Do not allow spray mist to
drift since even minute quantities of spray can cause severe damage or destruction to nearby crops,
plants or other areas on which treatment is not intended. Do not apply when winds are gusty or in excess
of 5 miles per hour or when other conditions, including lesser wind velocities, will allow drift to occur.
When spraying, avoid combinations of pressure and nozzle type that will result in fine particles (mist)
which are more likely to drift.
12.2.1 Roundup Agricultural Herbicides
Annual Weeds
Apply Roundup agricultural herbicides, in these tank mixtures at the proper rate for the weed per the
label instructions.
Perennial Weeds
At normal application rates in minimum tillage systems, perennial weeds may not be at the proper
stage of growth for control. Use of full labeled rates of Roundup agricultural herbicides, in the
mixtures above and under these conditions will provide top kill and reduce competition from
emerged perennial grasses and broadleaf weeds.
DO NOT USE THIS MIXTURE FOR BERMUDAGRASS OR JOHNSONGRASS CONTROL.
Reg. No. 524-473 Notified: 04-Dec-2012 ' Page 24 of 33
Ammonium Sulfate
The addition of ammonium sulfate in the spray solution may increase the performance of Roundup
agricultural herbicide tank mixtures on emerged annual weeds under adverse growing conditions.
When using ammonium sulfate, add 2 percent dry ammonium sulfate by weight or 17 pounds per
100 gallons of water. Ammonium sulfate should be added to the water in the spray tank and
completely dissolved prior to adding the herbicide or surfactant. Do not mix ammonium sulfate in
fluid fertilizer solutions. The equivalent rate of ammonium sulfate in a liquid formulation may also be
used.
If ammonium sulfate is added directly to the spray tank, add slowly with agitation. Adding too quickly
may clog outlet lines. Nozzle tip plugging may result from the use of low quality ammonium sulfate.
To determine quality, perform a jar test by adding 1/3 cup of ammonium sulfate to 1 gallon of water
and agitate for one minute. If undissolved sediment is observed, pre-dissolve the ammonium sulfate
in water and filter prior to adding to the spray tank.
Surfactants
Nonionic surfactants that are labeled for use with herbicides may be used with some Roundup
agricultural herbicides. Check specific label for restrictions. Do not reduce rates of Roundup
agricultural herbicides when adding surfactant. Use 0.5 percent surfactant concentration (2 quarts
per 100 gallons of spray solution) when using surfactants that contain at least 50 percent active
ingredient or a 1 percent surfactant concentration (4 quarts per 100 gallons of spray solution) for
those surfactants containing less than 50 percent active ingredient. Read and carefully observe
surfactant cautionary statements and other information appearing on the surfactant label.
12.2.2 Gramoxone Brand Herbicides
When used as directed, Gramoxone brand herbicides in a labeled tank mixture controls many
emerged annual weeds and suppresses many emerged perennial weeds.
Broadcast Treatment
Apply Gramoxone brand herbicides in the specified tank mixtures immediately before, during or after
planting but BEFORE CROP EMERGENCE. Use the application rates and timing of application
listed in the specific product label. As density of stubble, crop residue or weeds increases, spray
gallonage should be increased within the application rate range for complete coverage. Add a
nonionic spreader surfactant (approved for use on crops) containing at least 75 percent surfactant
active agent at 8 ounces per 100 gallons of diluted spray. REFER TO THE SPECIFIC
GRAMOXONE BRAND HERBICIDE LABEL FOR ADDITIONAL PRECAUTIONARY STATEMENTS.
12.2.3 2,4-D
When used as directed, 2,4-D in labeled tank mixtures controls many emerged annual and perennial
broadleaf weeds. For emerged weeds controlled, see the "WEEDS CONTROLLED" section of the
label for 2,4-D.
Broadcast Treatment
Apply 1 to 2 pints of 2,4-D (amine or low volatile ester) in the specified tank mixtures. Applications
should be made 7 to 14 days before planting or 3 to 5 days after planting but BEFORE CORN
EMERGES. As density of stubble, crop residue or weeds increase, spray gallonage should be
increased within the application rate range for complete coverage.

DO NOT use 2,4-D on light, sandy soils, or where soil moisture is inadequate for normal weed
growth. Observe all precautions and limitations on the 2,4-D label booklet.
12.3 Early Preplant Application
If emerged weeds are present at the time of treatment, a Roundup agricultural herbicide, Gramoxone
brand herbicide or 2,4-D should be added to this product according to the directions for use on their
respective product labels. If unsatisfactory weed control occurs (due to excessively dry or excessively wet
conditions) following the earlier application, a postemergence application of an appropriate labeled grass
and/or broadleaf weed herbicide may be used. If a postemergence treatment includes the herbicide used
early preplant, do not exceed the labeled rate for corn on a given soil texture. Observe all precautions and
limitations on the labels for [Insert Brand Name] herbicide, Roundup agricultural herbicides, Gramoxone
brand herbicide, 2,4-D and other postemergence herbicides before use of these products.
