Record Keeping:<br />
Records of use as described in NZS 8409 Management of Agrichemicals must be kept if 3 litres or more<br />
of <strong>Image</strong> is applied within 24 hours.<br />
MIXING: With the agitation system operating pour the required amount of <strong>Image</strong> into the half-filled<br />
spray tank. Add the remainder of the water and agitate thoroughly while mixing, spraying and when<br />
restarting after a stoppage.<br />
COMPATIBILITY: <strong>Image</strong> is compatible with most other pesticides and foliar fertilisers in tank mixtures.<br />
Check the label instructions of products used in tank mixture with <strong>Image</strong> and follow any compatibility<br />
directions. When using <strong>Image</strong> with foliar fertilisers, do not exceed 1.3L/ha <strong>Image</strong>, and add <strong>Image</strong> to the<br />
tank first and mix well before adding the fertiliser.<br />
SHELF LIFE:<br />
When stored appropriately this product should show no significant degradation for 2 years from the<br />
date of manufacture. Contact your supplier for further information about the use of any product that is<br />
older than this.<br />
GENERAL INFORMATION<br />
<strong>Image</strong> will control a wide range of broadleaf weeds in cereals when applied between the 3rd leaf and the<br />
2nd node stage of crop growth and in ryegrass seed crops when applied between 3rd leaf and tillering.<br />
<strong>Image</strong> contains three active ingredients. Ioxynil and bromoxynil are primarily contact herbicides with<br />
leaf penetrating ability, that act by blocking photosynthesis. Mecoprop-p is absorbed by foliage and via<br />
systemic action disrupts cell division and growth.<br />
Action is rapid and effects are visible within 2-4 weeks.<br />
APPLICATION: Complete even coverage of weed foliage is important because <strong>Image</strong> works primarily by<br />
contact action.<br />
Ground: Apply through any standard crop sprayer calibrated to give an even coverage from the correct<br />
boom height. Use a spray volume of 200-400L/ha. Use higher water rates after the mid-tiller stage of<br />
the crop and if weeds are dense. Low spray volumes should be achieved by changing nozzles, not by<br />
increasing ground speed. Use a minimum spray pressure of 200kPa. Select nozzles to give medium<br />
spray droplets. Coarse nozzles or low-pressure jets are not recommended.<br />
Aerial: Application may be made in a minimum of 150L water/ha.<br />
VOLATILITY: Under certain circumstances vapour drift from mecoprop-p may occur after spraying.<br />
<strong>Image</strong> is not recommended for treatment of cereal crops adjacent to susceptible crops or home<br />
gardens. For cereals use alternative formulations such as Bromicide MA, Duplosan Super or Duplosan<br />
KV.<br />
UNDERSOWN CROPS: <strong>Image</strong> may be applied to cereals undersown with grasses when the grasses have<br />
reached the 2-3 leaf stage and are growing vigorously. Do not use on cereals undersown with lucerne<br />
or clover.<br />
DIRECTIONS FOR USE<br />
It is an offence for users of this product to cause residues exeeding the relevant MRL in the New<br />
Zealand (Maximum Residue Limits of Agricultural Compounds) Food Standards.<br />
Temperature and Humidity: Spray in warm weather when weeds are at the seedling stage and growing<br />
well. Do not treat at the beginning of periods of severe cold, particularly on cereals at a late stage of<br />
growth (jointing) in winter. Do not treat when large temperature variations (e.g. very low temperatures)<br />
are expected within 3 days of treatment. Best results are obtained when application is made above 5˚C.<br />
Do not treat in drought conditions or when temperatures exceed 25˚C.<br />
<strong>Image</strong> is most effective when humidity exceeds 70% and light intensity is low.<br />
Rainfall: Light rain occurring soon after foliage is dry should have no negative effect on expected result.<br />
Crop Safety:<br />
<strong>Image</strong> is selective to most cereal and ryegrass seed cultivars. If unsure of cultivar tolerance check by<br />
spraying a small area first. Application during hot, dry conditions particularly in rapidly growing spring<br />
sown crops, may cause transient crop scorch.<br />

TIMING AND RATE OF APPLICATION:<br />
Cereals:<br />
Growth Stage<br />
Winter Sown Cereals: wheat,<br />
barley, oats, triticale, ryecorn<br />
Early: from 2-3 leaves to 1.3L/ha<br />
beginning of tillering<br />
From beginning of tillering 1.5-1.75L/ha<br />
to full tillering<br />
Late treatment from end of 1.75L/ha<br />
tillering to 2nd node stage<br />
Spring Sown Cereals:<br />
wheat, barley, oats<br />
0.8-1.3L/ha<br />
1.5-1.75L/ha<br />
1.5-1.75L/ha<br />
Ryegrass seed crops: Use 1.0-1.75L/ha when weeds are small and actively growing.<br />
Apply after the crop has 3 leaves but before jointing. <strong>Image</strong> is selective to most<br />
ryegrasses, however if uncertain, check on a small area first.<br />
Turf Grasses: Use 1.5L/ha (15ml/100m 2 ) when weeds are small and actively growing. Do<br />
not apply to newly sown turf until the grasses have at least 3 leaves. In established turf a<br />
repeat application 6 weeks later may be required to control newly emerged weeds.<br />
