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).

5.0 GENERAL INFORMATION
|
||
(HOW THIS PRODUCT WORKS)
|
||
Product Description: This product is a postemergent, systemic herbicide. It is generally non-selective and
|
||
gives broad spectrum control of many annual weeds, perennial weeds, woody brush and trees.
|
||
Time to Symptoms: This product moves through the plant from the point of foliage contact to and into the
|
||
root system. Visible effects on most allDual weeds occur within 2 to 4 days, but on most perennial weeds
|
||
may not occur for 7 days or more. Extremely cool or Cloudy weather following treatment may slow activity
|
||
of this product and delay development of visual symptoms. Visible effects are a gradual wilting and
|
||
yellowing of the plant which advances to complete browning of above-ground growth and deterioration of
|
||
underground plant parts.' ,
|
||
Stage or Condition of Weeds: Weeds must be emerged at the time of application to be controlled by this
|
||
product. Weeds germinating from seed after application will not be·controlled. Unemerged plants arising
|
||
from unattached underground rhizomes or root stocks of perennials will not be affected by the herbic~Q.e.
|
||
and will continue to grow. '
|
||
Weeds under poor growing conditions such as drought stress, disease or insect damage, may 'absorb less
|
||
herbicide resulting in reduced weed control. Reduced results may also occur when treating weeds heavily
|
||
covered with dust.
|
||
Reduced control may result when applications are made to annual or perennial weeds that have been
|
||
mowed, grazed, or cut, and have not been allowed to regrow to the recommended stage for treatment.
|
||
Refer to the annual, perennial, woody brush and trees rate tables for recommendations for specific weeds.
|
||
Rainfastness: Heavy rainfall soon after application may wash this product off of the foliage and a repeat
|
||
application may be required for adequate control.

|
||
Spray Coverage: For best results, spray coverage should be unifonn and complete. However, spraying
|
||
herbicide solution to the point of runoff is wasteful and should be avoided.
|
||
Biological Degradation: Degradation of this product is primarily a biological process carried out by soil
|
||
microbes.
|
||
Tank Mixing:· This product does not provide residual weed control. For subsequent residual weed control,
|
||
follow a label-approved herbicide program. Read and carefully observe the cautionary statements and all
|
||
other infonnation appearing on the labels of all herbicides used. Use according to the most restrictive label
|
||
directions for each product in the mixture, including retreatment intervals, and preharvest intervals.
|
||
Carefully follow the maximum annual treatment rate for 2,4-D when mixing with other 2,4-D containing
|
||
products. When this label recommends a tank mixture with a generic active ingredient such as atrazine or
|
||
dicamba, the user must ensure that the mixture product's label allows the specific application site.
|
||
,.,
|
||
Buyer and all users are responsible for all loss or damage in connection with the use or handling of mixtures
|
||
of this product with herbicides or other materials that are not expressly recommended in this labeling.
|
||
Mixing this product with herbicides or other materials not recommended on this label may result in reduced
|
||
perfonnance.
|
||
Annual Maximum Use Rate: Except as otherwise specified in a crop section of this label, the combined
|
||
total of all treatments must not 8 quarts of this product per acre per year. [Optional Statement: This
|
||
maximum rate is equivalent to 0.64 pounds of2,4-D acid equivalents per acre per year and 6 pounds of
|
||
glyphosate acid equivalents per acre per year.]
|
||
For noncrop uses, the combined total of all treatments must not exceed 10.6 quarts of this product per acre
|
||
per year. [Optional Statement: This maximum rate is equivalent to 0.85 pounds of2,4-D acid equivalents
|
||
per acre per year and 8 pounds of glyphosate acid equivalents per acre per year.]
|
||
The maximum use rates stated throughout this product's labeling apply to this product combined with the
|
||
use of all other herbicides containing 2,4-D, glyphosate or sulfosate as the active ingredient, whether
|
||
applied as mixtures or separately. Calculate the application rates and ensure that the total use of this and
|
||
other products do not exceed stated maximum use rates.
|
||
6.0 MIXING
|
||
Reduced results may occur if water containing soil is used, such as visibly muddy water or water from
|
||
ponds and ditches that is not clear.
|
||
6.1 Mixing with Water or Liquid Nitrogen Solutions·
|
||
This product mixes readily with water. Mix spray solutions of this product as follows: Fill the mixing or
|
||
spray tank with the required amount of water. Add the recommended amount of this product near the end of
|
||
the filling process. Where nonionic surfactant is recommended, add this to the spray tank before
|
||
completing the filling process. Mix well. Use caution to avoid siphoning back into the carrier source. Use
|
||
approved anti-back-siphoning devices where required by state or local regulations. During mixing and
|
||
application, foaming of the spray solution may occur. To prevent or minimize foam, avoid the use of
|
||
mechanical agitators, tenninate by-pass and return lines at the bottom ofthe tank and, if needed, use an
|
||
approved anti-foam or defoaming agent.
|
||
NOTE: Before mixing this product or labeled tank mixtures of this product with liquid nitrogen solutions,
|
||
the planned combination should be tested for compatibility. Use 10 to 60 gallons of nitrogen solution per
|
||
acre.

Mix labeled tank mixtures of this product with water as follows:
|
||
1. Place a 20 to 35 mesh screen or wetting basket over filling port.
|
||
2. Through the screen, fill the spray tank one-half full with water and start agitation.
|
||
3. If a wettable powder is used, make a slurry with the water carrier, and add it SLOWLY through the
|
||
screen into the tank. Continue agitation.
|
||
4. If a flowable formulation is used, premix one part flowable with one part water. Add diluted mixture
|
||
SLOWLY through the screen into the tank. Continue agitation.
|
||
5. If an emulsifiable concentrate formulation is used, premix one part emulsifiable concentrate with two
|
||
parts water. Add diluted mixture slowly through the screen into the tank. Continue agitation.
|
||
6~· Continue filling the spray tank with water and add the required amount ofthis product near the end of
|
||
.the filling process.
|
||
7. Where nonionic surfactant is recommended, add this to the spray tank before completing the filling
|
||
process.
|
||
8. Add individual formulations to the spray tank as follows: wettable powder, flowable, emulsifiable
|
||
concentrate, drift control additive, water soluble liquid followed by surfactant.
|
||
Maintain good agitation at all times until the contents of the tank are sprayed. If the spray mixture is
|
||
allowed to settle, thorough agitation is required to resuspend the mixture before spraying is resumed.
|
||
Keep by-pass line on or near the bottom of the tank to minimize foaming. Screen size in nozzle or line
|
||
strainers should be no finer than 50 mesh.
|
||

6.4 Nonionic Surfactants
|
||
Nonionic surfactants which are labeled for use with herbicides may be used with this product and labeled
|
||
tank mixtures. The use of surfactants as additives does not reduce the application rate of this product
|
||
required to achieve weed control. When adding additional surfactant, use 0.5 percent concentration (2
|
||
quarts per 100 gallons of spray solution) of surfactant containing at least 70 percent active ingredient or a 1
|
||
percent concentration (4 quarts per 100 gallons of spray solution) for those containing less than}O percent
|
||
active ingredient. Read and carefully observe cautionary statements and other information appearing on the
|
||
surfactant label.
|
||
NOTE: Use of herbicides at lower than label recommended rates will result in reduced performance.
|
||
6.5 Ammonium Sulfate
|
||
Th« addition of 1 to 2 percent dry ammonium sulfate by weight or 8.5 to 17 pounds per 100 gallons of water
|
||
may increase the performance ofthis product, particularly when tank mixed with certain residual herbicides
|
||
on annual and perennial weeds. The equivalent rate of ammonium sulfate in a liquid formulation may also
|
||
be used. Ensure that ammonium sulfate is completely dissolved in the spray tank before adding herbicides
|
||
or surfactant. Thoroughly rinse the spray system with clean water after use to reduce corrosion.
|
||
NOTE: The use of ammonium sulfate as an additive does not preclude the need for additional surfactant.
|
||
Recommended rates for herbicides and surfactant should be maintained when adding ammonium sulfate .
|
||
. 6.6 Colorants or Dyes
|
||
Agriculturally-approved colorants or marking dyes may be added to this product. Colorants or dyes used in
|
||
spray solutions of this product may reduce performance, especially at lower rates or higher dilutions. Use
|
||
colorants or dyes according to the manufacturer's recommendations.
|
||
6.7 Drift Control Additives
|
||
Drift control additives may be used with all equipment types, except wiper applicators and sponge bars.

|
||
BY THOROUGHLY FLUSHING WITH WATER AND AN APPROVED CLEANING AGENT.
|
||
S'pRA Y DRIFT MANAGEMENT
|
||
Do not allow the herbicide solution to mist, drip, drift or splash onto desirable vegetation since minute
|
||
quantities of this product can cause severe damage or destruction to the crop, plants orother areas on which
|
||
treatment was not intended.
|
||
A variety of factors inCluding weather conditions (e.g. wind direction, wind speed, temperature, relative
|
||
humidity) and method of application (e.g., ground or aerial) can influence pesticide drift. The applicator
|
||
must evaluate all factors and make appropriate adjustments when applying this product.. Avoiding spray
|
||
drift at the application site is the responsibility of the applicator.
|
||
Applicators must follow all state and local pesticide drift requirements regarding application of2,4-p
|
||
herbicides. Where states have more stringent regulations, they must be observed.
|
||
Droplet Size
|
||
When applying sprays that contain 2,4-D as the sole active ingredient, or when applying sprays that contain
|
||
2,4-D mixed with active ingredients that require a Coarse or coarser spray, apply only as a Coarse or .
|
||
coarser spray (ASAE standard 572) or a volume mean diameter of385 microns or greater for spinning
|
||
atomizer nozzles.
|
||
Whim applying sprays that contain 2,4-D mixed with other active ingredients that require a Medium or
|
||
more fine spray, apply only as a Medium or coarser spray (ASAE standard 572) or a volume mean diameter
|
||
of 300 microns or greater for spinning atomizer nozzles.
|
||
Wind Speed
|
||
Do not apply at wind speeds greater than 15 mph. Only apply this product if the wind direction favors' ,
|
||
on-target deposition and there are not sensitive areas (including, but not limited to, residential areas, bodies
|
||
of water, known habitat for nontarget species, nontarget crops) within 250 feet downwind. If applying a
|
||
Medium spray, leave one swath lillsprayed at the downwind edge of the treated field.
|
||
Temperature Inversions
|
||
If applying at wind speeds less than 3 mph, the applicator must determine if: a) conditions of temperature _
|
||
inversion exist, or b) stable atmospheric condiQons exist at or below nozzle height. Do not make
|
||
applications into areas of temperature inversions or stable atmospheric conditions.
|
||
Susceptible Plants
|
||
Do not apply under circumstances where spray drift may occur to food, forage, or other plantings that might
|
||
be damaged or crops thereof rendered unfit for sale, use, or consumption. Susceptible crops include, but

||
Avoid direct application to any body of water.
|
||
7.1 Aerial Equipment
|
||
DO NOT APPLY THIS PRODUCT USING AERIAL SPRAY EQUIPMENT EXCEPT UNDER
|
||
CONDITIONS AS SPECIFIED WITHIN THIS LABEL.
|
||
Use the recommended rates of this herbicide in 3 to 15 gallons of water per acre unless otherwise specified
|
||
on this label. Aerial applications of this product should not exceed 1 quart per acre unless otherwise
|
||
specified. Aerial applications of this product may be made in annual cropping conventional tillage systems,
|
||
fallow and reduced tillage systems and preharvest applications. Refer to the individual use area sections of
|
||
this label for recommended volumes and application rates.
|
||
Ensure uniform application-- To avoid streaked, uneven or overlapped application, use appropriate marking
|
||
devices.
|
||
Equipment Maintenance: Thoroughly wash aircraft, especially landing gear, after each day of spraying to
|
||
remove residues of this product accumulated during spraying or from spills. Prolonged exposure of this
|
||
product to uncoated steel surfaces may result in corrosion and possible failure ofthe part. Landing gear are
|
||
most susceptible. The maintenance of an organic coating (paint), which meets aerospace specification
|
||
MIL-C-38413, may prevent corrosion."
|
||
Swath Adjustment: When applications are made with a crosswind, the swath will be displaced downwind.
|
||
Therefore, on the up 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, smaller droplets, etc.).
|
||
Boom Length: The boom length must not exceed 75% of the wingspan or 90% of the rotor diameter.
|
||
Application Height: Release spray at the lowest height consistent with efficacy and flight safety. Do not
|
||
release spray at a height greater than 10 feet above the crop canopy unless a greater height is required for
|
||
aircraft safety.
|
||
7.2 Ground Broadcast Equipment
|
||
Use the recommended rates of this product in 3 to 10 gallons of water per acre as a broadcast spray UnJess
|
||
otherwise specified. As density of weeds increases, spray volume may be increased up to 40 gallons ~itliin
|
||
the recommended range to ensure complete coverage. Select proper nozzles to avoid spraying a fine
|
||
mist. For best results with ground application equipment, use flat fan nozzles. Check for even distribution
|
||
of spray droplets. Do not apply with a nozzle height greater than 4 feet above the crop canopy.
|
||
7.3 Hand-Held and High-Volume Equipment
|
||
For applications made on a spray-to-wet basis, spray coverage should be uniform and complete. However,
|
||
spraying herbicide solution to the point of runoff is wasteful and should be avoided. Use coarse sprays
|
||
only.

This product may be applied through shielded applicators, hooded sprayers, wiper applicators or sponge
|
||
bars after dilution and thorough mixing with water to listed weeds growing in any noncrop site specified on
|
||
this label and only when specifically recommended in cropping systems. '
|
||
Shielded and hooded applicators
|
||
A shielded or hooded applicator directs the herbicide solution onto weeds, while shielding desirable
|
||
vegetation from the herbicide.
|
||
Use nozzles that provide uniform coverage within the treated area. Keep shields on these sprayers adjusted
|
||
to protect desirable vegetation. EXTREME CARE MUST BE EXERCISED TO AVOID CONTACT OF
|
||
HERBICIDE WITH DESIRABLE VEGETATION.
|
||
A hooded sprayer is a type of shielded applicator. The spray pattern is completely enclosed on the top and
|
||
all 4 sides by a hood, thereby shielding the crop from the spray soiution. This equipment must be set up and
|
||
operated in a manner that avoids bouncing or raising the hoods off the ground in any way. If the hoods are
|
||
raised, spray particles may escape and come into contact with the crop, causing damage or destruction of
|
||
the crop. Droplets, mist, foam or splatter of the herbicide solution may contact the crop and cause
|
||
discoloration, stunting or destruction. The spray hoods must be operated on the ground or skimming across
|
||
the ground. Tractor speed must be adjusted to avoid bouncing of the spray hoods. Avoid operation on
|
||
rough or sloping ground where the spray hoods might be raised off the ground.
|
||
To minimize potential for crop injury:
|
||
• The spray hoods must be operated on the ground or skimming across the ground.
|
||
• Leave at least an 8 inch untreated strip over the drill row. For example, if the crop row width is 38
|
||
inches, the maximum width of the spray hood should be 30 inches.
|
||
• Maximum tractor speed: 5 mph.
|
||
• Maximum wind speed: 10 mph.
|
||
• Use low-drift nozzles.
|
||
Wiper applicators and sponge bars
|
||
A wiper or sponge applicator applies the herbicide solution directly onto weeds by rubbing the weed with
|
||
an absorbent material containing the herbicide solution.
|
||
Equipment must be designed, maintained and operated to prevent the herbicide solution from contac1:ing
|
||
desirable vegetation. Operate this equipment at ground speeds no greater than 5 mph. Performance may be
|
||
improved by reducing'speed in areas of heavy weed infestations to ensure adequate wiper saturation. Better
|
||
'results may be obtained if2 applications are made in opposite directions.
|
||
Applications made above the crops should be made when the weeds are a minimum of 6 inches above the
|
||
desirable vegetation. Better results may be obtained when more of the weed is exposed to the herbicide
|
||
solution. Weeds not contacted by the herbicide solution will not be affected. This may occur in dense
|
||
clumps, severe infestations or when the height of the weeds varies so that not all weeds are contacted. In
|
||
these instances, repeat treatment may be necessary.
|
||
Avoid leakage or dripping onto desirable vegetation. Adjust height of applicator to ensure adequate contact
|
||
with weeds. Keep wiping surfaces clean. Be aware that, on sloping ground, the herbicide solution may
|
||
migrate, causing dripping on the lower end and drying of the wicks on the upper end of a wiper applicator.

Wiper equipment can be ineffective in transferring herbicide to weeds that are wet atthe time of
|
||
application.
|
||
Mix only the amount of solution to be used during a I-day period, as reduced activity may result from use
|
||
ofleftover solutions. Clean wiper parts immediately after using this product by thoroughly flushing with
|
||
water.
|
||
Because wiper solutions are already very concentrated, no additional surfactant is needed.
|
||
7.5 Injection Systems
|
||
This product may be used in aerial or ground injection spray systems. It may be used as a liquid concentrate
|
||
or diluted prior to injecting into the spray stream. Because compatibility of concentrated products has not

Wiper Applications
|
||
PRECAUTIONS, RESTRICTIONS: Contact of the herbicide solution with desirable vegetation may
|
||
result in damage or destruction. Applicators should be adjusted so that the wiper contact point is at least two
|
||
(2).inches above the desirable vegetation. Weeds should be a minimum of six (6) inches above the desirable
|
||
vegetation. Better results may be obtained when more of the weed is exposed to the herbicide solution.
|
||
Weeds not contacted by the herbicide solution will not be affected. This may occur in dense clumps, severe
|
||
infestations, or when height of weeds varies so that not all weeds are contacted. In these instances, repeat
|
||
treatments may be necessary. Better results may be obtained if 2 applications are made in opposite
|
||
djrections.

rate when the ryegrass is greater than 6 inches tall. Best results are obtained when applications are made
|
||
before the ryegrass reaches 6 inches in height. Grass that is sprayed will be destroyed.
|
||
PRECAUTIONS, RESTRICTIONS: Set nozzle heights to allow the establishment of the desired row
|
||
spacing while preventing spray droplets, spray fines, or drift to contact the ryegrass plants not treated. Use
|
||
of low pressure nozzles, or drop nozzles designed to target the application over a narrow band are
|

|
||
PRECAUTIONS, RESTRICTIONS: For spot treatment and wiper applications, apply in areas where the
|
||
movement of domestic livestock can be controlled. No more than one-tenth of any acre should be treated at

8.9 Rangelands
|
||
TYPES OF APPLICATIONS: Postemergence
|
||
USE INSTRUCTIONS: This product will control or suppress many annual weeds growing in perennial
|
||
cool and warm season grass rangelands.
|
||
Preventing viable seed production is key to the successful control and invasion of annual grassy weeds in
|
||
rangelands. Follow-up applications in sequential years should eliminate most of the viable seeds.
|
||
Grazing of treated areas should be delayed to encourage growth of desirable perennials. Allowing
|
||
desirable perennials to flower and reseed in the treated area will encourage successful transition.
|
||
PRECAUTIONS, RESTRICTIONS: Use of ammonium sulfate when spraying rangeland grasses with this
|
||
product is not recommended. Do not make more than one application per year. Do not graze lactating
|
||
dairy animals on treated areas within 7 days after application. Do not harvest grass cut for hay from treated
|
||
areas for 30 days. Withdraw meat animals from treated forage at least 3 days before slaughter.
|
||
Postemergence
|
||
Apply 12-16 fluid ounces of this product to control or suppress many weeds, including downy brome, cheat
|
||
grass, cereal rye and jointed goatgrass in rangelands. Apply when most mature brome plants are in early
|
||
flower and before the plants including seedheads tum color. Allowing for secondary weed flushes to occur
|
||
in the. spring following rain events further depletes the seed reserve, and encourages perennial grass
|
||
conversion on weedy sites. Fall applications are possible, and recommended where spring moisture is
|
||
usually limited and fall germination allows for good weed growth.
|
||
Apply 16 fluid ounces when the medusahead has reached the 3 leaf stage. Delaying applications beyond
|
||
this stage will result in reduced or unacceptable control. Fire may be useful in eliminating the thatch'l~yer
|
||
produced by slow decaying culms prior to application. Allow new growth to occur before spraying after a
|
||
burn. Repeat applications in subsequent years may be necessary to eliminate the'seedbank before
|
||
reestablishing desirable perennial grasses in rnedusahead dominated rangelands.
|
||
Slight discoloration of the desirable grasses may occur, but they will n:green and regrow under moist soil
|
||
conditions as effects of this product wear off.
|
||
8.10 Soybeans
|
||
TYPES OF APPLICATIONS: Preplant
|
||
USE INSTRUCTIONS: This product may be applied before planting soybeans. Applications must be
|
||
made 15 days prior to planting of the crop. Under cold soil conditions, it is recommended to delay planting
|
||
so that further time is available for the 2,4-D to dissipate from the soil.
