Turf Mark
Turf Mark
Turf Mark is an additive that is mixed in water-based turf and lawn treatment products to help indicate where the products have been applied. All areas treated will temporarily turn blue. It is non-toxic and safe to use around wildlife.
Turf Mark by BASF is a natural-looking, temporary colorant that shows exactly where turf and lawn care product applications have been made. The highly visible color helps prevent wasteful skips and overlaps, and helps point and minimize drift. Simply add Turf Mark to spray tanks filled with any premixed, water-based insecticide, herbicide, fungicide, or fertilizer. The blue color will indicate which areas have been treated or missed.
Using Turf Mark will help protect plants from being accidentally sprayed with herbicides and will save money by helping to conserve product. It is safe for residential or commercial use and is a great product when treating large places with easy to miss areas.
Tools Needed
To use Turf Mark you will need a hand pump sprayer or backpack sprayer with finished pesticide product to add the product to.
How to Use
- Step 1: Mix the appropriate amount of Turf Mark in a sprayer tank that is already filled with premixed, water-based insecticide, herbicide, or fertilizer. The rate to mix it in is 2 to 3 oz. per 3 gallons of product.
- Step 2: Shake or agitate the sprayer tank to mix well.
- Step 3: Spray areas with treatment products. Use a fan spray setting to get nice coverage.
Where to Use
Turf Mark can be used anywhere outdoors. It is a great product to use on large turf areas to ensure fertilizers and insecticides are applied evenly, and to ensure plants are not accidentally sprayed with herbicides with over-spray or drift. It is also great for home and business owners to help save products from being wasted by over-applying.
When to Use
Turf Mark can be used outdoors any time a turf or lawn is being treated with a water-based insecticide, herbicide, fungicide, or fertilizer.
Safety Information
Turf Mark is safe to use around children and pets when used according to the product label. Always follow the label of the product Vision Blue Marking Dye is mixed with. Always wear the proper personal protective equipment (PPE) when applying Turf Mark with any compatible product.
Special Considerations
Turf Mark alone will not eliminate or control for any weed, insect, or pest. Turf Mark may stain certain surface areas. Always spray a small inconspicuous spot before fully treating around driveways, sidewalks or building structures.

Q:How much TurfMark in a hose end sprayer? (24 oz of herbicide, set to 4tbsp 6,000 foot coverage) Used 2 oz, could see it coming out blue from sprayer, did not mark lawn at all4/7/22A:I don't think it works with a water hose hooked on to a sprayer arrangement. However it works great when I used it with a hand held sprayer (2 gallons water with premixed herbicide and turf mark). A 1.5-2 times the turf Mark recommended ounces per gallon did not hurt my turf.
