Why So Much Green Dye?

We use two types of green dye when spraying greens.  On the right is TRACKER.  We use 16 oz per acre.  Tracker indicates where we have sprayed and avoids costly overlaps and misapplications.  We also can see if a spray nozzle is clogged.  Tracker is a necessary evil.  I'm sorry it does create some problems for early players when we spray.  We try to spray with enough time for sufficent drying.

On the left is a product introduced a few years back, but was introduced last year as a stand alone product PAR.  PAR is actually a stressguard for the greens.  We use 16 oz per acre every two weeks.  PAR is like spraying SPF 50 on the turf.

The dye is usually gone the next day through mowing or irrigation.  The PAR once dry on the plant, lasts two weeks.

I hope this explaination is helpful.
