Will Scotts fungicide get rid of red thread?
As RScott once said to me Fluffer, “I beg to differ” The right fungicide “will” infact eliminate a turf disease or fungus or cause it to go inactive and procede to control further infection. According to Scotts data on fungicides, the data on their product called “AllBan” will control, and render “redthread” inactive. Make sure that this is truely the disease you have, as this product will only control 13 different turf diseases. Their other product called “FungoFlo is primarily used as an ornamental tree and shrub fungicide and not intended for turf use. If you do choose to use AllBan, treat the whole yard walking a pattern as if you were mowing the lawn. Be sure to get full coverage and as Scotts states, repeat this application again in 14 days as an added prevention. After the first application, you should see the bright featherlike fungi attached to the top of the grass blades start to turn to a dull pink color. This will show you that the application is starting to work its magic.
