Ed and I in So American in January were required to walk through large square 
pans filled with foam rubber which was soaked in some pesticide or chemical 
that was alway unidentified.  I ruined a pair of shoes doing this.  

At the World Daffodil Convention in Portland, OR in 2000, several of the 
tours were of professional hybridizers' gardens. Most of them also had these 
footbaths with solutions of fungicide and nematocides.  They're very careful 
about disease transmission.  And when 400 people are tramping all over your 
specimen beds it seems a wise precaution. Two of them even had plastic, 
disposable boots to pull over your shoes!
