Welcome Rain Causing Red Thread Outbreak!
After one of the driest springs on record we have finally got the rain our lawns were so desperate for. Many lawns have suffered badly from lack of moisture but are now benifiting from a beauifull flush of verdant green fresh growth.
Often or not when we experience this sudden flush of soft growth many lawns can expect an outbreak of Red Thread. Red Thread is a small pink fungus which attacks the leaf of the plant causing the infected areas to temporaraly die back and fade to a bleached tan colour.
What Should We Do About Red Thread?
In most cases the fungus and patches should dissapear after a few weeks as the fungus spores rarley affect the roots, but in severe cases during a prolonged attack we can apply a systemic fungicide which will kill the Red Thread and protect against further attack for 6 -8 weeks.
