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

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