Hi Patrick,
Haven't used Image. We have experimented with manage and permit. Be very
cautious, some of the chemicals for nutsedge are residual and can damage
iris for a couple of years. Best thing to do with nutsedge is weed it out
before there are 5 leaves on the plants. If there are 5 or more leaves they
have started an underground network and your toast. Some pre-emergents will
prevent yellow nutsedge but not purple, if you don't know what you have let
me know and I can tell you how to tell the difference.
The best chemical combo to kill all nutsedge is Permit or Manage with a
spreader/sticker called lemonene. 100% kill, but will cause Round-up like
conditions for your iris. There is a new chemical out but I haven't been
able to find any info on it yet.
Hope that helps.
Mike
