Now, of the fungus based diseases, and they're all fungus based, this one it the easiest to deal with. The disease is known as Red Thread and becomes active in the late spring. As the turf is more prone to this infestation when depleted of nitrogen, a good balanced fertilizer treatment will knock this down. Fertilizer will be packaged with an analysis, 3 numbers; NPK = nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. See, no worries, Dr Pirate is on your side, and wants your lawn to do well.
