Image rebuild (skip scrape) / build (push) Failing after 1h37m12s
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).

See Engineering Controls for additional requirements .
Follow the manufacturers instructions for cleaning and
maintaining PPE . If no such instructions for washables
exist, use detergent and hot water . Keep and wash PPE
separately from other laundry .
Engineering Controls
When handlers use closed systems or enclosed cabs in a
manner that meets the requirements listed in the Worker
Protection Standard (WPS) for agricultural pesticides
[40 CFR 170 .240(d)(4-6)], the handler PPE requirements
may be reduced or modified as specified in the WPS .
USER SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS
Users should:
• Wash hands after handling and before eating, drinking,
chewing gum, using tobacco, or using the toilet .
• Remove clothing/PPE immediately if pesticide gets
inside . Then wash thoroughly and put on clean clothing .
• Remove PPE immediately after handling this product .

as possible, wash thoroughly and change into clean
clothing .
Environmental Hazards
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 washwater or rinsate . Apply this product only
as directed on the label .
This chemical is known to leach through soil into ground -
water under certain conditions as a result of agricultural
use . Use of this chemical in areas where soils are perme-
able, particularly where the water table is shallow, may
result in groundwater contamination .
Ground and Surface Water Protection
Point-source Contamination
To prevent point-source contamination, DO NOT mix or
load this pesticide product within 50 feet of wells (including
abandoned wells and drainage wells), sinkholes, perennial
or intermittent streams and rivers, and natural or impound -
ed lakes and reservoirs . DO NOT apply pesticide product
within 50 feet of wells . This setback does not apply to
properly capped or plugged abandoned wells and does
not apply to impervious pad or properly diked mixing/
loading areas as described below .
Mixing, loading, rinsing, or washing operations performed
within 50 feet of a well are allowed only when conducted
on an impervious pad constructed to withstand the weight
of the heaviest load that may be on or move across the
pad . The pad must be self-contained to prevent surface
water flow over or from the pad . The pad capacity must be
maintained at 110% that of the largest pesticide container
FIRST AID
If swallowed
• Call a poison control center or doctor immediately for treatment advice .
• Have person sip a glass of water if able to swallow .
• DO NOT induce vomiting unless told to do so by a poison control center or doctor .
• DO NOT give anything by mouth to an unconscious person .

or application equipment used on the pad and have suffi -
cient capacity to contain all product spills, equipment or
container leaks, equipment washwater, and rainwater that
may fall on the pad . The containment capacity does not
apply to vehicles delivering pesticide shipments to the
mixing/loading site . States may have in effect additional
requirements regarding wellhead setbacks and operational
containment .
Care must be taken when using this product to prevent:
• Back-siphoning into wells
• Spills
• Improper disposal of excess pesticide, spray mixtures, or
rinsate
Check valves or antisiphoning devices must be used on all
mixing equipment .
Movement by Surface Runoff or
Through Soil
DO NOT apply under conditions which favor runoff .
DO NOT apply if soil is saturated with water or when rain-
fall that may exceed soil field capacity is forecast to occur
within 48 hours . Under some conditions, dicamba has the
potential for runoff several days after application . Poorly
draining, wet, or erodible soils with readily visible slopes
toward adjacent sensitive areas are more prone to pro-
duce runoff . When used on erodible soils, best
management practices for minimizing runoff should be
employed . Consult your local Soil Conservation Service for
recommendations in your use area .
DO NOT apply to impervious substrates such as paved or
highly compacted surfaces in areas with high potential for
groundwater contamination . Groundwater contamination
may occur in areas where soils are permeable or coarse
and groundwater is near the surface . DO NOT apply to
soils classified as sand with less than 3% organic matter
and where groundwater depth is shallow . To minimize the
possibility of groundwater contamination, carefully follow
the specified rates as affected by soil type in the
Crop-specific Information section of this label .
Movement by Water Erosion of Treated Soil
DO NOT apply this product through any type of irrigation
system including sprinkler, drip, flood, or furrow irrigation .

Product Stewardship Practices
• Apply EverdantTM herbicide to weeds 4 inches or less
in size for best performance .
• Apply Everdant at the labeled rate to minimize the likeli-
hood of weed resistance occurring . DO NOT apply at
less than the labeled rate . See Crop- specific
Information for labeled rates by crop .
• Use Everdant as part of a herbicide program that
includes the use of residual herbicides and herbicides
with alternate sites of action to reduce resistance selec-
tion pressure .
• Select nozzles that produce coarse to ultra-coarse
spray droplets .
• Maintain boom height 24 inches or less from target .
• Identify areas of sensitive nontarget crops/plants and
maintain proper setback distance from these areas .
Sensitive crops in agricultural and/or residential settings
can include, but are not limited to:
- non-DT soybeans
- cucumber and melons (EPA Crop Group 9)
- flowers
- fruit trees
- grapes
- ornamentals including greenhouse-grown and shade
house-grown broadleaf plants
- peanuts
- peas and beans (EPA Crop Group 6)
- peppers, tomatoes, and other fruiting vegetables
(EPA  Crop Group 8)
- potato
- sweet potato
- tobacco
• Thoroughly clean spray equipment before and after
application .
Mode of Action
Dicamba, the active ingredient in Everdant, is a Group 4
(WSSA) herbicide . Herbicides in this group mimic auxin (a
plant hormone) resulting in a hormone imbalance in sensi -
tive plants that interferes with normal plant growth (e .g . cell
division, cell enlargement, and protein synthesis) .
Everdant is readily absorbed by leaves, roots, and shoots;
translocates throughout the plant; and accumulates in
areas of active growth to provide post emergence control
of emerged weeds as well as moderate residual control of
germinating weed seeds .
Any weed population may contain plants naturally resistant
to Group 4 herbicides . Weeds resistant to Group 4 herbi-
cides should be managed using effective herbicide(s) from
a different group and/or by using cultural or mechanical
practices . Report any incidence of non-performance of
this product against a particular weed species at
www.EngeniaQuestions.com . Consult your local BASF
representative, state cooperative extension service, profes -
sional consultants, or other qualified authority to determine
appropriate actions if you suspect resistant weeds . Addi-
tional information about weeds which are known to be
resistant to dicamba can be found at www.Resistance-
Information.BASF.US .
Resistance Management
While weed resistance to Group 4 herbicides is infre-
quent, populations of resistant biotypes are known to exist .
Resistance management should be part of a diversified
weed control strategy that integrates multiple options
including chemical, cultural, and mechanical (tillage) con -
trol tactics . Cultural control tactics include crop rotation,
proper fertilizer placement, optimum seeding rate/row
spacing, and timely tillage .
To aid in the prevention of developing weeds resistant to
this product, the following steps should be followed where
practical:
• Start clean with tillage or an effective burndown herbi -
cide program .
• DO NOT rely on a single herbicide site of action for weed
control during the growing season .
• Scout fields before application to ensure herbicides and
rates will be appropriate for the weed species and weed
sizes present .
• Apply full labeled rates of Everdant for the most
difficult-to-control weed in the field at the specified time
9
(correct weed size) to minimize weed escapes . See
Crop-specific Information for labeled rates by crop .
• Use of preemergence herbicides that provide soil residual
control of broadleaf and grass weeds is recommended to
reduce early season weed competition and allow for more
timely in-crop postemergence herbicide applications .
• Avoid application of herbicides with the same site of
action more than twice a season .
• Scout fields after application to detect weed escapes or
shifts in weed species .
• Indicators of possible herbicide resistance include:
(1) failure to control a weed species normally controlled
by the herbicide at the dose applied, especially if control
is achieved on adjacent weeds; (2) a spreading patch of
non-controlled plants of a particular weed species;
(3) surviving plants mixed with controlled individuals of
the same species .
• Report any incidence of non-performance of this product
against a particular weed species to your BASF retailer or
representative .
• If resistance is suspected, treat weed escapes with a
herbicide having a mode of action other than Group 4
and/or use non-chemical methods to remove escapes,
as is practical, with the goal of preventing further seed
production .
• For more information about weeds that are known to be
resistant to dicamba go to
www.Resistance-Information.BASF.US .
Additionally, users should follow as many of the following
herbicide resistance management practices as is practical:
• Use a broad spectrum soil-applied herbicide with other
modes of action as a foundation in a weed control
program .
• Utilize sequential applications of herbicides with alterna -
tive modes of action .
• Rotate the use of this product with non-Group 4
herbicides .
• Avoid making more than two applications of EverdantTM
herbicide and any other Group 4 herbicides within a
single growing season unless mixed with another mech -
anism of action with an overlapping spectrum for the
difficult-to-control weeds .
• Incorporate non-chemical weed control practices, such
as mechanical cultivation, crop rotation, cover crops and
weed-free crop seeds, as part of an integrated weed
control program .
• Thoroughly clean plant residues from equipment before and
after leaving fields suspected to contain resistant weeds .
• Manage weeds in and around fields during and after har -
vest to reduce weed seed production .
• Contact the local agricultural extension service, BASF
representative, ag retailer or crop consultant for further
guidance on weed control practices as needed .
Crop Tolerance
Crops growing under normal environmental conditions are
tolerant to Everdant when applied according to label
directions . Crop injury may occur under stressful growing
conditions (e .g . low soil fertility, seedling disease, extreme
hot or cold weather, excessive moisture, high soil pH, high
soil salt concentration, drought) .
Application Instructions
Apply Everdant by ground to actively growing weeds as a
band, broadcast, or spot spray application for postemer-
gence control of emerged weeds as well as moderate
residual control of germinating weed seeds .
Make postemergence applications of Everdant when
broadleaf weeds are small and actively growing . An
adjuvant is recommended with Everdant for best post-
emergence activity; refer to Tank Mixing Information
section and Crop-specific Information sections for
details . Postemergence activity may be slowed or reduced
under cloudy and/or foggy or cooler weather conditions, or
when weeds are growing under drought or other stress
conditions . When targeting dense weed populations and/
or larger broadleaf weeds, use higher spray volumes and a
higher application rate within an application rate range .
Cultivation should be delayed until 7 days after applying
Everdant or a reduction in weed control may occur .
Use extreme care when applying Everdant to prevent
injury to desirable plants . Everdant may cause injury to
desirable sensitive plants when contacting their roots,
stems, or foliage .
Application Rates
Always read and follow crop-specific use directions .

the higher listed rates or apply the lower listed rate as a tank mix with
other herbicides that are effective on the same species and biotype .
2 Use the higher rate within listed ranges when treating weeds resis -
tant to other sites of action, dense vegetative growth, or weeds with
a well-established root system . The higher rates also provide moder-
ate residual annual weed control .
3 Everdant TM herbicide will suppress the top growth of herbaceous
perennial and woody brush and vines and can be combined with
other herbicides to improve control .
4 Not for use in California .
5 DO NOT broadcast-apply more than 12 .8 fl ozs/A per application .
Retreatment or tank mixes may be necessary for best control of
some weeds . However, sequential applications must not exceed a
maximum cumulative total of 51 .2 fl ozs/A of Everdant (2 lbs dicam-
ba ae/A) per year .
Application Methods and Equipment
Apply Everdant by ground or by air . Thorough spray cov-
erage is important for best broadleaf weed control and can
be improved with adjuvant, nozzle, and spray volume
selection . A spray adjuvant must always be used with
Everdant when applying for the control of emerged
broadleaf weeds .
Calibrate application equipment for accurate target spray
volume and application rate to ensure uniform distribution of
spray and to avoid spray drift to nontarget areas . Adjust
equipment to maintain continuous agitation during spraying
with good mechanical or bypass agitation . Avoid overlaps
that will increase rates above the labeled use rates .
Everdant may be applied using water; consult crop-
specific information sections of this label for other spray
carrier options .
Aerial Application Methods and Equipment
Water Volume: Use 1 to 10 gallons of water per acre (2 to
20 gallons of diluted spray per treated acre for preharvest
uses) . Use the higher spray volume when treating dense or
tall vegetation .
Application Equipment: Select nozzles designed to pro-
duce minimal amounts of fine spray particles . Make aerial
applications at the lowest safe height to reduce exposing
the spray to evaporation and wind . The applicator must
follow the most restrictive use cautions to avoid drift haz-
ards, including those found in this labeling, as well as state
and local regulations and ordinances . DO NOT use aerial
equipment if spray particles can be carried by the wind
into areas where sensitive crops or plants are growing or
when temperature inversions exist .
Ground Application
Banding Applications
When applying Everdant by banding, use the following
formula to calculate the amount of herbicide and water vol-
ume needed:
Bandwidth in inches x Broadcast
rate per acre = Banding herbicide
rate per acreRow width in inches
Bandwidth in inches x Broadcast
volume per acre = Banding water
volume per acreRow width in inches
Broadcast Applications
Unless noted in the crop-specific information section, use
a spray volume of 15 gallons of water or more per treated
acre . Thorough coverage of existing vegetation is essential
for postemergence applications; higher spray volumes may
be necessary for optimum performance .
Wiper Applications
Everdant may be applied through wiper application
equipment to control or suppress actively growing broad-
leaf weeds, brush, and vines . Use a 50% solution
containing 1 part Everdant to 1 part water .
• DO NOT apply more than 12 .8 fl ozs/A of Everdant
[0 .5 lb dicamba acid equivalent (ae) per acre] per
application .
• DO NOT contact desirable vegetation with herbicide solu-
tion . Wiper application may be made to crops (including
pastures) and noncropland areas described in this label .
EXCEPTION: DO NOT use wiper application on cotton
or soybean .
Spray System Equipment Clean-out
The applicator must ensure that the spray system used to
apply Everdant is clean before application . Additionally,
small quantities of ammonium sulfate (AMS) can increase
the volatility potential of Everdant . Be sure that any spray
mixture from a prior application that contains AMS
is drained and rinsed from the sprayer . After using
Everdant, clean all mixing and spray equipment (including
tanks, pumps, lines, filters, screens, and nozzles) with a
strong detergent based sprayer cleaner . Severe crop injury
may occur if any Everdant remains in the spray equip-
ment following application and is subsequently applied to
sensitive crops . Dispose of rinsate in compliance with
local, state, and federal guidelines .
11
1 . After spraying, drain the sprayer (including boom and
lines) . Avoid allowing the spray solution to remain in the
spray boom lines overnight or for extended periods of
time .
2 . Flush tank, hoses, boom, and nozzles with clean water .
Open boom ends and flush if so equipped .
3 . Inspect and clean all strainers, screens, and filters .
4 . Use commercial sprayer cleaner containing strong
detergents according to the manufacturers directions .
5 . Wash all parts of the tank, including the inside top sur-
face . Start agitation in the sprayer and thoroughly
recirculate the cleaning solution for at least 15 minutes .
All visible deposits must be removed from the spraying
system .
6 . Flush hoses, spray lines, and nozzles with the cleaning
solution for at least 1 minute . Remove nozzles,
screens, and strainers, and clean separately in the
cleaning solution after completing the above
procedure .
7 . Drain pump, filter, and lines .
8 . Triple rinse the complete spraying system with clean
water .
9 . Clean and rinse the exterior of the sprayer .
10 . Appropriately dispose of all rinsate in compliance with
local, state, and federal requirements .
Spray Drift Management
Avoiding spray drift at the application site is the responsibili-
ty of the applicator . The spray system and weather- related
factors determine the potential for spray drift . The applicator
is responsible for considering these factors when making
application decisions to avoid spray drift onto nontarget
areas .
Applicators must follow application requirements to avoid
spray drift hazards, including those found in this labeling
and applicable state and local regulations and ordinances .
Where states have more stringent regulations, they must
be observed .
All application equipment must be properly maintained and
calibrated using appropriate carriers .
DO NOT allow herbicide solution to drip, physically drift, or
splash onto desirable vegetation because severe injury or
destruction to desirable broadleaf plants could result . The
following physical spray drift management requirements
must be followed .
Controlling Droplets
Drift potential may be reduced by applying large droplets
that provide sufficient coverage and control . Applying larg-
er droplets can reduce drift potential, but will not prevent
drift if the application is made improperly, or under unfa -
vorable environmental conditions (see the Temperature
Inversions and the Wind Speed and Direction
Requirements sections) .
• Nozzle Type - Use nozzles that produce course to ultra
course spray droplets and minimize the production of
fine droplets .
• Pressure - DO NOT exceed the nozzle manufacturers
specified pressures . For many nozzle types, lower pres-
sure produces larger droplets . When higher flow rates
are needed, use higher flow rate (large orifice) nozzles
instead of increasing pressure . Ensure sprayer rate con-
troller hardware (if so equipped) does not allow pressure
increases above the desired range .
• Spray Volume - Apply this product in a minimum of
15 gallons of spray solution per acre . Use a higher spray
volume when treating dense vegetation . Higher spray
volumes may also allow the use of larger nozzle orifices
(sizes) which produce coarser spray droplets .
• Equipment Ground Speed - Select a ground speed
that will deliver the desired spray volume while maintain -
ing the desired spray pressure, but DO NOT exceed a
ground speed of 15 miles per hour . Slower speeds gen-
erally result in better spray coverage and deposition on
the target area . It is recommended that ground speed be
reduced to 5 miles per hour when making applications to
the edge of the treatment area .
• Spray Boom Height - Spray at the appropriate boom
height based on nozzle selection and nozzle spacing, but
DO NOT exceed a boom height of 24 inches above target
pest or crop canopy . Set boom to lowest effective height
over the target pest or crop canopy based on equipment
manufacturers directions . Automated boom height con-
trollers are recommended with large booms to better
maintain optimum nozzle to canopy height . Excessive
boom height will increase the potential for spray drift .
• Hooded Spray Booms - Hooded spray booms are
another tool that can be used to minimize spray drift
potential . EverdantTM herbicide may be applied using a
hooded spray boom in combination with approved noz-
zles; however, the applicator must ensure the
configuration is compatible with equipment used .
Temperature Inversions
• DO NOT apply Everdant when temperature inversions
exist at the field level .
Temperature inversions increase drift potential by reducing
atmospheric mixing and dispersion of any suspended
spray mixture . Suspended spray residues can move in
unpredictable directions because of 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 .
Inversions begin to form as the sun sets and often contin-
ue into the morning before surface warming . Their
presence can be indicated by ground fog, smoke not ris-
ing, dust hanging over a road, or presence of dew or frost .
Smoke that layers and moves laterally (under low wind
conditions) indicates an inversion, while smoke that moves
upward and rapidly dissipates indicates good vertical air
mixing . Inversion conditions typically dissipate with
increased winds (above 3 MPH) or when surface air begins
to warm (3° F from morning low) .
12
Treatment Zone Awareness (Sensitive Areas,
Sensitive Crops and Residential Areas)
Sensitive Areas
EverdantTM herbicide should only be applied when there
is low potential for drift to sensitive areas (see Definitions) .
It is best to apply when the wind is blowing away from sen-
sitive areas .
Sensitive Crops and Residential Areas
• DO NOT apply under circumstances where spray drift
may occur to food, forage, or other plantings that might
be damaged or the crops thereof rendered unfit for sale,
use or consumption .
• During application and sprayer clean-out, DO NOT allow
contact of herbicide with foliage, green stems, exposed
non-woody roots of crops, and desirable plants .
• Downwind and Shifting Winds
- DO NOT apply when wind is blowing in the direction of
neighboring sensitive crops or residential areas .
- The appropriate distance must be determined by
the applicator relative to where the application is being
made, the environmental conditions, and the potential
risk to downwind sensitive crops and residential areas .
- The applicator also must be aware that WIND
DIRECTION may vary during the application . If wind
direction shifts such that the wind is blowing toward
neighboring sensitive crops or residential areas, STOP
the application .
Survey the area before spraying: Small amounts of
spray drift that may not be visible may injure sensitive
broadleaf plants . Before making an application, the appli-
cator must survey the application site for neighboring
sensitive crops and residential areas . The applicator must
consult sensitive crop registries where available . Plant inju-
ry could occur if contact between this product and these
crops/plants occurs . See www.driftwatch.org or other
sensitive crop registry websites for more information on
possible sensitive sites near your application location .
AVOIDING SPRAY DRIFT AT THE APPLICATION SITE
IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE APPLICATOR.
The interaction of equipment and weather related factors
must be monitored to maximize performance and on-
target spray deposition . The applicator is responsible for
considering all of these factors when making a spray deci -
sion . The applicator is responsible for compliance with
state and local pesticide drift regulations .
Definitions
• Sensitive Areas - Bodies of water and nonresidential,
uncultivated areas that may harbor sensitive plant
species .
• Sensitive Crops and Residential Areas - Food,
forage, or other plantings grown for sale, use or con-
sumption . Sensitive crops/plants also can be present in
nonagricultural settings, such as residential areas .
Examples include, but are not limited to:
- non-DT soybeans
- cucumber and melons (EPA  Crop Group 9 )
- flowers
- fruit trees
- grapes
- ornamentals including greenhouse-grown and shade
house-grown broadleaf plants
- peanuts
- peas and beans (EPA  Crop Group 6 )
- peppers, tomatoes, and other fruiting vegetables
(EPA  Crop Group 8 )
- potato
- sweet potato
- tobacco
Severe injury or destruction could occur if any contact
between this product and these crops/plants occurs .
Wind Speed and Direction Requirements
• Wind Speed - 3 to 15 mph
• Wind Direction - Local terrain can influence wind pat-
terns . Every applicator must be familiar with local wind
patterns and how they affect drift .
Tank Mixing Information
Everdant may be tank mixed with other products that are
not prohibited on this label and are approved for use on
the target crop or area .
A spray adjuvant should always be used with Everdant
when applying for the control of emerged broadleaf
weeds .
To improve postemergence weed control with Everdant, a
Chemical Producers and Distributors Association (CPDA)
certified adjuvant may be used . Some adjuvants have the
potential to cause crop injury under certain conditions, at
certain growth stages and/or under other circumstances .
Read all labels for products used in the tank mixture prior
to use to determine the potential for crop injury .
Surfactants and Spreaders
Nonionic Surfactants/Spreaders (NIS)
Use an agriculturally approved nonionic surfactant
(containing at least 80% active ingredient) at 1 to
2 pints/100 gallons [0 .12 to 0 .25% volume/volume (v/v)] .
Use the highest rate of NIS when using the lower rate
ranges of a tank mix or when treating more mature and
difficult-to-control weeds or dense vegetative growth .
OR
Oil Concentrate Surfactants
(COC, HSOC, MSO)*
Instead of NIS, oil concentrate may be used at 1 to
2 quarts/100 gallons (0 .5% to 1% v/v), but at least
1 pint/acre . (alternate text: DO NOT use oil concentrate for
postemergence in-crop applications unless specifically
13
allowed in the Crop-specific Information section of this
label) .
A crop oil concentrate must contain either a petroleum-oil
or vegetable-oil base and must:
• Be non-phytotoxic
• Contain only EPA-exempt ingredients
• Provide good mixing quality in the jar test
• Be successful in local experience
Petroleum-oil and vegetable-oil concentrates should con -
tain emulsifiers to provide good mixing quality . Highly
refined vegetable oils have proven more satisfactory than
unrefined vegetable oils .
* COC - crop oil concentrate
HSOC - high surfactant oil concentrate
MSO - methylated seed oil
Warnings and Restrictions:
• Some COC, HSOC and MSO adjuvants may cause a
temporary crop response .
• DO NOT tank mix products containing ammonium salts
such as ammonium sulfate and urea ammonium nitrate
(UAN) .
• DO NOT add adjuvants that will further decrease pH or
acidify the spray solution .
• Spray mixtures with lower pH levels (less than pH 5) can
increase the potential volatility of dicamba . To mitigate
this potential it is important to know the pH of your spray
mixture and make appropriate adjustments . Talk with
your local agricultural consultant, extension agent, or
BASF representative for recommendations to prevent
low pH spray mixtures .
• Use of an approved neutral buffering agent may be warrant-
ed if the water source or tank mix components will create
an acidic spray solution less than pH 5 . Possible ways to
check the pH of the spray mixture is with a litmus paper test
or pH meter . If the pH needs to be increased then consider
using an approved neutral buffering agent .
• Hard water does not usually affect the activity of
EverdantTM herbicide; however, other tank mix compo-
nents may be adversely affected (e .g . glyphosate) . Use of
an approved conditioning agent should be considered
when hard water (i .e . total calcium, magnesium, and iron
content above 500 ppm) is used as a spray carrier .
• Drift reduction agents can minimize the percentage of
driftable fines . However, the applicator must check with
the DRA manufacturer to determine if the DRA will work
effectively with the spray nozzle, the spray pressure, and
the desired spray solution .
Refer to the tank mix product labels to confirm that the
respective tank mix products are registered for the specific
crop use; follow required crop rotation restrictions . Read
and follow the applicable restrictions and limitations and
Directions For Use on all product labels involved in tank
mixing . Always follow the most restrictive label use direc-
tions; refer to crop-specific information section for details .
Mixing Everdant with postemergence grass (graminicide)
herbicides may reduce the effectiveness of those prod -
ucts . Follow graminicide label when mixing with Everdant
to ensure optimum weed control . Physical incompatibility,
reduced weed control, or crop injury may result from
mixing Everdant with other pesticides, additives, nutrition-
als, etc .
Compatibility Test for Mix Components
Before mixing components, always perform a compatibility
jar test .
1 . For 20 gallons per acre spray volume, use 3 .3 cups
(800 mL) of water . For other spray volumes, adjust rates
accordingly . Only use water from the intended source at
the source temperature .
2 . Add components in the sequence indicated in the fol -
lowing Mixing Order instructions using 2 teaspoons for
each pound or 1 teaspoon for each pint of labeled use
rate per acre .
3 . Cap the jar and invert 10 cycles between component
additions .
4 . When the components have all been added to the jar,
let the solution stand for 15 minutes .
5 . Evaluate the solution for uniformity and stability . The
spray solution should not have free oil on the surface;
fine particles that precipitate to the bottom; or thick
(clabbered) texture . If the spray solution is not
compatible, repeat the compatibility test with the
addition of a suitable compatibility agent . If the solution
is then compatible, use the compatibility agent as
directed on its label . If the solution is still incompatible,
DO NOT mix the ingredients in the same tank .
Mixing Order
Make sure each component is thoroughly mixed and sus -
pended before adding tank mix partners . Except when
mixing products in PVA bags, maintain constant agitation
during mixing and application .
1 . Water - Begin by agitating a thoroughly clean sprayer
tank 1/2 to 3/4 full of clean water .
2 . Inductor - If an inductor is used, rinse it thoroughly
after each component has been added .
3 . Products in PVA bags - Place any product contained
in water-soluble PVA bags into the mixing tank . Wait
until all water-soluble PVA bags have fully dissolved and
the product is evenly mixed in the spray tank before
continuing .
4 . Water-soluble products and additives ( Everdant)
5 . Water-dispersible products (such as dry flowables,
wettable powders, suspension concentrates, or
suspo-emulsions)
6 . Emulsifiable concentrates (including NIS and oil
concentrate)
7 . Remaining quantity of water
Maintain continuous and constant agitation throughout mix-
ing and application until spraying is completed . If the spray
mixture is allowed to settle for any period of time, thorough
agitation is essential to resuspend the mixture before spray-
ing is resumed . Continue agitation while spraying .
14
Use Precautions
• Stress - Application to crops under stress because of
lack of moisture, hail damage, flooding, herbicide injury,
mechanical injury, or widely fluctuating temperatures may
result in crop injury .
• Rainfast Period - EverdantTM herbicide is rainfast
4 hours after application . Postemergence activity may be
reduced if rain or irrigation occurs within 4 hours of
application .
Use Restrictions
Applicator MUST ALSO follow restrictions under
Crop-specific Information section(s).
• Maximum Seasonal Use Rate - Refer to crop-specific
information sections for maximum seasonal application
rates for each crop or use pattern .
• DO NOT apply Everdant with ammonium- containing
additives, conditioners, or fertilizers (e .g . AMS, UAN) .
Small quantities of AMS can greatly increase the volatility
potential of dicamba .
• DO NOT apply Everdant if wind speed is greater than
15 mph .
• DO NOT contaminate irrigation ditches or water used for
domestic purposes .
• DO NOT apply Everdant through any type of irrigation
system (e .g . chemigation) .

dicamba ae/A) in a single application of Everdant .
• DO NOT apply more than a maximum cumulative total of
2 pounds dicamba ae/A from all product sources per
cropping season .
Crop Rotation Restrictions
Use the following information to determine the required
interval between Everdant application and rotational crop
planting as well as replanting after crop failure because of
environmental factors such as drought, frost, or hail . Deter-
mine the rotational crop interval for tank mix products and
use the most restrictive interval of all products applied .

Crop-specific Use Directions
Read product information, application instructions, weeds
controlled, and additive instructions in preceding sections
of the label .
Depending on specific crop application directions,
Everdant may be applied for postemergence control of
emerged broadleaf weeds and/or residual control of
germinating broadleaf weed seeds before crop planting
(preplant and/or preseed) and after planting (pre -
emergence, postemergence) . Refer to Table 1 for list of
weeds controlled or suppressed .
Asparagus
Everdant may be applied immediately after cutting aspar-
agus but at least 24 hours before the next cutting . Apply
6 .4 to 12 .8 fl ozs/A of Everdant in 40 to 60 gallons of dilut-
ed spray to emerged and actively growing weeds . Apply
12 .8 fl ozs/A of Everdant to control common chickweed,
field bindweed, nettleleaf goosefoot, and wild radish . To
improve control of Canada thistle and field bindweed,
apply Everdant in combination with glyphosate
(e .g .  Roundup® herbicide) or sequentially with 2,4-D .
Avoid application to emerged spears . If spray contacts
emerged spears, crooking (twisting) of some spears may
result . If crooking occurs, discard affected spears .
Asparagus Restrictions
• DO NOT apply over the top to emerged spears or ferns
• DO NOT apply more than a total of 12 .8 fl ozs/A of
Everdant (0 .5 pound dicamba ae/A) per year in
asparagus .
• DO NOT harvest for 24 hours after treatment .
• DO NOT use in the Coachella Valley of California .
Between Crop Application
Everdant may be used as a burndown treatment to con-
trol broadleaf weeds at any time of the year during the
fallow period following crop harvest and before the follow -
ing crop is planted . Apply Everdant as a broadcast or
spot treatment to emerged and actively growing weeds
after crop harvest (postharvest) and before a killing frost,
or in fallow cropland or crop stubble the following spring or
summer .
Application Rates and Timings
Apply Everdant as a broadcast or spot treatment at 3 .2 to
12 .8 fl ozs/A plus specified adjuvants; see Tank Mixing
Information section for details . Refer to Table 2 to deter-
mine use rates for specific targeted weed species . For
best performance, apply Everdant when annual weeds
are less than 4-inches tall, when biennial weeds are in the
rosette stage, and to perennial weed regrowth in late
summer or fall following a mowing or tillage treatment . For
the most effective control of upright perennial broadleaf
weeds such as Canada thistle and Jerusalem artichoke,
apply Everdant when the majority of weeds have at least
4 inches of regrowth, or for weeds such as field bindweed
and hedge bindweed that are in or beyond the full bloom
stage .
Avoid disturbing treated areas following application . Treat-
ments may not kill weeds that develop from seed or
underground plant parts, such as rhizomes or bulblets,
after the effective period for Everdant . For seedling con-
trol, a follow-up program or other cultural practices should
be instituted . For small grain in-crop uses of Everdant,
refer to Small Grain section for details .
Specific crop rotation intervals must be observed between
an application of Everdant and planting the following
crop; see Crop Rotation Restrictions in Use

Sugarcane
Everdant may be used any time after weed emergence
but before the close-in stage of sugarcane to control many
annual and perennial broadleaf weeds; see Table 1 for
weeds controlled or suppressed .
Apply 6 .4 to 12 .8 fl ozs/A of Everdant for control of annual
weeds and 12 .8 fl ozs/A for control or suppression of bien-
nial and perennial weeds . Use the higher rate of the
specified rate range when treating dense vegetative
growth . Repeat treatment may be made as needed; how-
ever, DO NOT apply more than the annual maximum
cumulative total of 51 .2 fl ozs/A of Everdant (2 lbs
dicamba ae/A) .
When possible, direct the spray beneath the sugarcane
canopy to minimize the likelihood of crop injury . Using
directed sprays will also help maximize the spray coverage
of weed foliage .
Use with Other Herbicides
Everdant may be applied sequentially with one or more
of, but not limited to, the following herbicide products:
• Prowl® H2O herbicide
• atrazine
It is the pesticide users responsibility to ensure that all prod-
ucts are registered for the intended use . Read and follow
the applicable restrictions and limitations and directions for
use on all product labels involved in tank mixing . Users must
follow the most restrictive directions for use and precaution-
ary statements of each product in the tank mixture .

Farmstead Turf (noncropland)
and Sod Farms
EverdantTM herbicide may be used in farmstead turf
(noncropland) and sod farms to control or suppress
growth of many annual, biennial, and some perennial
broadleaf weeds; see Table 1 for weeds controlled or sup-
pressed . Everdant will also suppress woody brush and
vine species; refer to Table 2 for application rates based
on targeted weed or woody brush and vine species and
growth stage . Some weed species will require tank mixes
for optimum control .
Repeat treatment may be made as needed; however,
DO NOT apply more than 25 .6 fl ozs/A of Everdant
(1 lb dicamba ae/A) per growing season .
Apply 30 to 200 gallons of diluted spray per acre (3 to
17 quarts of water per 1000 sq ft), depending on density
or height of weeds treated and on type of equipment used .
To avoid injury to newly seeded grasses, delay application
of Everdant until after the second mowing . Established
grass crops growing under stress can exhibit various injury
symptoms that may be more pronounced if herbicides are
applied . Bentgrass, buffalograss, carpetgrass, and
St . Augustinegrass may show a response .
