HELP. Can anyone advise me how to get rid of Red Thread Disease in a lawn
that is two years old laid from turf?

I understand that there is a fungicide available, but my garden centre does
not know what to use.

Also, what can anyone recommend as a good lawn fertilizer to make the grass
a lush green colour as mine is now pretty grim thanks to Red Thread.

TIA

Dave,

You will have to treat it with a fungicide. I have used sprays in the past.
I used a preventative treatment last year and did not have any problems. The
stuff I got contained a fungicide called Bayleton. I did a quick check and
found that Bayer Advanced now carries a lawn fundicide that not only cures
many fungi (included red thread), but also acts as systemic preventative.
The chemical is absorbed by the grass plants and helps the grass become more
resistant to future infections.

Good luck.

Bayleton is what I'd suggest too. It gives you around a 30 day residual.
(1% granular..corn cob carrier)

Dunno about the Bayer product. (?)
