Grazon 90 for Spot Spraying

Hi everyone,

This week we're talking about Grazon 90.

This is a popular brushwood killer that hits everything but grass.

Grazon 90 is perfect for spot spraying around the farm.

The application rate is just 6ml per litre so one pack will go a long way.

While we're talking about spot spraying there's a few products we sell that will help you with this task.

I've mentioned them before but they're bestsellers and always worth mentioning again!

First off it's our best-selling Herbi-4 Hand-held Sprayer and the Microwipe Weedwiper.

These handy items are very popular every season and judging from the many positive reviews we got back from customers, once again we're expecting these to SELL OUT FAST.

As mentioned a few weeks ago it can be a pain to figure out where you've just spot sprayed so this is where Done That comes to the rescue!

Done That Spray Dye

As stated back in August 2008, our testing of Done That, the dye you can add to your spot-sprayer to see where you've sprayed, has been carried out by Pat, our resident expert.

He was very happy with the results.

It really highlighted the plants that had been sprayed in a highly visable BLUE colour, and if it landed on any concrete it washed off in the next downpour.

FiL has made its non-toxic, easy to clean up spray marker dye Done That even better with a new formulation.


Done That has been a part of the agricultural scene for several years, helping dairy farmers and small holders with their weed control programmes.

But now there's a new formula Done That which is not only non-poisonous, non-toxic and non-acidic but is also compatible with most herbicides.

This means Done That doesn't affect the power of the herbicide and there won't be any "gunking" or coagulation in your spray system.

Done That is a very vivid blue which is very visible and shows up well on almost all plants and weeds.

It is specifically aimed at the market for blue dyes, and is suitable for users with most forms of colour blindness.

Unlike many other marker dyes Done That cleans up easily. Just wash out your knapsack and the rest of the spray system with water and it will be clean and ready for the next time.
Storage and Handling

Product should be stored in original container, upright in a clean dry place.

Always store away from foodstuffs and out of the reach of children.

Wear suitable protective clothing, gloves and personal protection equipment for eyes and face when handling concentrates.

Wash hands and face thoroughly after use. Any containers or measuring containers should be rinsed thoroughly with water prior to disposal.

Done That 500ml @ €18.75 available from MagentaDirect.ie
