Thriving off mild and damp conditions, Red Thread is probably the most common fungal disease found in the UK.
It can occur on lawns with poor light or soil and after heavy periods of rain during which nitrogen – an essential ingredient for grass growth and colour – is washed out from the soil. From a distance the symptoms can appear as sporadic red or brown patches but upon closer inspection red needle type threads can be found growing on the grass plant leaves.
Fusarium is a turf disease after high levels of humidity, surface wetness during cooler temperatures or following a blanket of snow.
Disease symptoms can appear as small circular patches and causes the grass plant to literally go mouldy, changing the appearance from green to orange brown, followed by a straw colour.
Fairy Rings disease appears in ring-like circles.
