Marker Dye
Marker dyes are additives mixed with herbicide solutions that visually indicate treated areas by leaving a temporary coloured stain. They’re ideal for ensuring even herbicide coverage and preventing missed spots or overapplication. Marker dyes are helpful across a variety of contexts, including large-scale woody weed control and spot spraying.

Why use marker dyes in woody weed control?
Marker dyes play a crucial role in herbicide application for woody weed control in Australia, especially in large-scale spraying contexts, spot spraying, and areas where multiple operators work. They can be added to spray solutions to create a visible indication of which areas have been treated, which reduces the risk of missing spots or overapplying the product.
The benefits of using marker dyes for operators
By improving the accuracy of your application, marker dyes enhance herbicide efficiency, reduce wastage, and minimise the risk of off-target damage. They’re an essential progress-tracking tool for operators in a wide array of settings.
What types of marker dyes for woody weed control are available?
There are several types of marker dyes available, each suited to different applications and environmental considerations. Let’s explore what’s on offer:
- Rhodamine dyes: These synthetic fluorescent dyes – which are often red or pink – are widely used in herbicide applications, particularly for woody weeds. They provide an excellent contrast against vegetation and soil, which makes it easy to identify treated areas. Rhodamine dyes are effective in both high- and low-volume spraying applications.
- Vegetable-based dyes: Made from natural plant extracts, vegetable dyes offer an eco-friendly alternative to synthetic options. They break down more readily in the environment, which has made them a preferred choice for sensitive areas where sustainability is a main concern.
- Enviro dyes: These biodegradable dyes are non-toxic and environmentally safe while still providing good visibility in the soil or against vegetation. Notably, they’re suitable for use in conservation contexts.
Most marker dyes are available in a range of colours, including blue, red, pink, and yellow, to suit a variety of settings and ensure good visibility against soil and plant matter.
