Stop any watering Do not leave any clippings on the lawn and spot aerate. In extreme cases fungicide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stop any watering Do not leave any clippings on the lawn and spot aerate. In extreme cases fungicide Your problem is caused by lack of nitrogen (not surprising since you don't use the correct fertilizer) and lack of lime(again something that should be done every spring) This lawn disease takes off much faster when there's a lack of nitrogen, for instance. Low levels of calcium (or lime) also affect some grass types. Cultural Management: You Can't Change The Weather Like most grass diseases, red thread is very much weather related. When conditions are right for development, management of red thread is limited to checking and correcting any nutritional deficiencies or direct treatment with a fungicide material. Lawn treatments with fungicides are usually effective, and one or two maintenance applications in the spring and again in the fall are adequate in most situations for control.

weatherMA Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 What the hell is that?!?!? Pollen. It must be coming from a certain tree the past day or something. On Friday night there were some patches of white...then when I came home today it looked like a dusting of snow on the lawn. 3-6" of pollen lalalalalock it up.

I thought it was some weird fungus and Kev was going to tell you to fertilize it We had a few mushrooms when I mowed yesterday. Our window boxes look great and I finished mulching today.

Once again your words are meaningless, and incorrect, red thread and dollar spot are very common on very nitrogen rich grass areas such as GOLF COURSE, in fact it happens all the time. My lawn is rich in nitrogen, and iron, in fact very rich due to the slow release fertilizer thats put down twice a year, and also the clover which regulates it, these are common fungal pathogens found in grass. Since your lawn is actually not 'alive", being its synthetic may reduce the threat. But talk to any greenskeeper at any golf course and during a wet cool spring or fall its very common.

Another FAIL I have a good friend that put a par 3 in on his property. He has gotten WAY too into his green buying mowers and every fertilizer and fungicide he can get his hands on. He just bought and restored an aerator. Despite taking almost daily ph samples and all his preening he is combating these very same blights.

Mr Torchey Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 does it have red like mycellium like threads on the grass? If so this disease is called red thread, its a low nitrogen cool wet weather disease. Its active in the spring time and fall. When was the last time you fertilized? Because you don't want to keep nuking the lawn with fertilizer, because that will promote other diseases down the road and its also not good for the turf physiologically. found some red thread in the rough today Yea what you and i and alot of others have with this cool wet weather is melting out disease, very similar to leaf spot. You probably came across it when you saw leaf spot because they are linked together. If you were reading on the causes of the diseases one of them is excess fertilization, thats why i was saying always do half of what the bag says. The only problem is, unless you calibrate your spreader you don't know what you're taking half of, it could be half of 2lbs/1000 of nitrogen. another ct blizz failure, its becoming almost comical. straight from a reputable greenskeeper who obviously has to use synthetics, but is also obviously filled with much wisdom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
