I have been asked this question a few times, so here is the answer! We have so many trees at OCGC and it is very labor intensive to keep trimming them. To keep things looking neat, we spray the trees and some other areas with a mixture of RoundUp and Barricade. The RoundUp kills the grass and weeds, the Barricade keeps it from coming back for a few months. Our operators sometimes get a little too aggressive with the indicator dye. The dye is useful for indicating which trees have been done. We use the same dye on the greens and a foam marker for fairways. The indicators help keep our cost down and assure an even, proper application of pesticide.
Hi Mike. Is this blue dye toxic? What happens if you get it on your hands while golfing and forget to wash your hands after the round? Is there a chance to get it on your food before that after round burger? Thanks Pat
