Farm General Pond Dye is a water-soluble pond colorant designed to beautify lakes, ponds, and decorative water features. Transform murky, cloudy, and off-color water within a few hours. Just pour around the edges–its pleasing blue hue disperses quickly and evenly. Treated water may be used for swimming, fishing, and irrigation within hours. For complete details, see the complete label.

For once, being blue is a good thing.

Where to use:

Lakes, ponds, decorative water features, and other impounded bodies of water with limited outflow. DO NOT apply this product directly to drinking water. Chlorinated water will cause accelerated fading, requiring more frequent treatments or higher dosages.

When to use:

When water is murky, cloudy, or off-colored.

How to use:

  1. Proper dosage rate requires an accurate calculation of the water volume (acre-feet) in the treated area. To determine water volume, multiply the Length (ft) x Width (ft) x Average depth (ft) and then divide it by 43,560. This will give you the water volume in acre-feet.

    For volume in acre-feet:
    Length (ft) x Width(ft) x Average Depth (ft) / 43,560

  2. Use .25 gallons (.95 L) of this product for each acre-foot of water as determined by your calculations. See label for calculations and rate in meters.
    • Pour from the container near the shoreline. Complete dispersion of this product should occur within hours after treatment, depending on the volume and movement of water treated.
    • Additional amounts of this product can be added as needed to maintain desired coloration following rainfall, dilution, or water exchange.
    • Allow several hours for this product to disperse before swimming, irrigation, or fishing.
    • When used at the recommended dosage rate, treated water will not stain exposed surfaces or harm fish, waterfowl, pets, or wildlife.

Precautions:

  • Allow several hours for this product to disperse before swimming, irrigation, or fishing.
  • Do not apply this product directly to drinking water.
  • When used at the recommended dosage rate, treated water will not stain exposed surfaces.
  • When used at the recommended dosage rate, treated water will not harm fish, waterfowl, pets or wildlife.

Advice

  1. GRAZING CROP RESIDUES

    Grazing crop residues (especially after harvest of corn or grain sorghum) can routinely be used to provide a substantial number of days of grazing for beef cattle, but can be especially valuable in years when pasture and hay production have been less-than-optimum. This option becomes even more attractive if grassed [...]

  2. CHANGES MAY BE IN STORE REGARDING HAY

    During a discussion of the economics of forage-livestock production, the point will usually be made that stored feed (predominately hay) should be a major consideration.  It is a fact that feeding animals during times when pasture forage is not available is typically the greatest expense associated with production of grazing [...]

  3. VARIETY SELECTION IS IMPORTANT

    Once a forage-livestock producer has decided to plant a given forage species, he or she will usually find there are several varieties of which seed is available. So how should a person go about deciding which variety to plant? Advice from friends, neighbors, and respected advisors can be helpful, but [...]

  4. MANAGEMENT APPROACHES CAN BE SYNERGISTIC

    Numerous management factors can have an impact on the economics of beef production, as well as on other livestock enterprises.  Every farm is different, so the relevance of a given issue to a particular farm varies. However, a  management approach that typically is of great economic value often interacts with [...]

  5. Reducing Stored Feed Needs

    The most expensive aspect of raising livestock is providing feed for them. In general, pasture forage is less expensive than hay or other stored feed, including hay. Here is a concise review of the major options for reducing stored feed.   Use Cool Season and Warm Season Forages On some [...]
