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.
12/13/25
Turf Mark, manufactured 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. 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 save money by helping 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 a finished pesticide product to add to it.
How to Use
- Step 1: Mix the appropriate amount of Turf Mark in a sprayer tank already filled with premixed insecticide, herbicide, or fertilizer. The rate to mix it in is 2 to 3 ounces 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 plants are not accidentally sprayed with herbicides with overspray or drift. It is also great for home and business owners to help save products from being wasted by overapplying.
When to Use
Turf Mark can be used outdoors whenever a turf or lawn is being treated with a water-based insecticide, herbicide, fungicide, or fertilizer.
