Lawn Fungicides

Red Thread

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.

Fairy Rings

There are 3 types:

• ​​This is where deep green, healthy-looking grass is surrounded by an outer ring of dead grass and is the result of the soil being starved of essential nutrients
• These are visible dark circles of healthy-looking grass that upset the look of a lawn
• Whilst it doesn’t have any noticeable effect on the grass itself, mushrooms and fungi grow on the surface in a patchy ring-like form and usually appear around autumn
