Highly visual spray marker dye
Visible for up to 10 days post application
Assist Red Dye allows the spray operator to identify sprayed plants and areas for up to 10 days following application. This saves re-treatment, chemical wastage and labour. While spraying it shows the operator exactly what coverage they have on the target plant.
Application
Assist Red Dye can be used through most types of application equipment such as knapsacks, spot spraying systems including motorbike units and hand guns. Recommended use is at 100-200 ml / 100 Litres or 10-20 ml per 10 litre knapsack, the true rate of use depends on the visual response wanted by the operator. Consult the product label for more accurate rate required based on the target species.

Mixing and compatibility
Add Assist Red Dye to water in the spray tank first, agitate or mix thoroughly before adding any other product.
Under most circumstances Assist Red Dye is compatible with most pesticides including phenoxy based products and brush weed herbicides.
Several factors can affect this compatibility and therefore it is recommended to do a jar test prior to using products with alkaline chemistry such as Pasture Guard MCPA and Pasture Guard MCPB.
