Popular blue marker dye - Blue indicator dye for use with
pesticides and fertilisers in turf and agricultural situation
BigFoot Blue Spray Colourant is a blue spray indicator for turf and addition to insecticide, herbicide and fungicide sprays.
Big Foot is a distinctive, temporary spray marker used to identify spray patterns clearly.
Big Foot identifies exactly where you have sprayed, preventing skips and overlaps and helps to pinpoint drift.
Big Foot is compatible with water-soluble pesticides and herbicides and can be used on turf, soil, wood, fibrous materials and other areas.
Big Foot is safe, non-toxic and biodegradable and can be easily washed off most surfaces with soap and water.
Studies have found that colourants used as dye markers allow better targeting of pesticide sprays and could offer the potential to reduce environmental pollution and overall levels of synthetic pesticide use.
