Question
i reside in nj and i have a grass fungus along with other neighbors. the grass was green and now in patches its turning brown. the nick name is called red tide. they say its caused by high humidity and moisture in the area of the nj shore. i read i can use baking soda w/ water to eliminate the moisture. if so , how much of each ( such as 1 gallon of water to 1 lbs of baking soda) and how often? when i see it ? or every 2 weeks? or do i buy a chemical to treat all year long? plase help me asap so i do not lose my beautiful lawn.

Answer
Do you mean Red Thread Fungus?  Red Tide is an environmental horror story encountered by fish and underwater ecosystems... not on Lawn Grass.  Please confirm.

A few quick words in case this is Red Thread ('Laetisaria fuciformis'), a high-profile, Cool-weather Fungus: Red Thread attacks in Spring and/or Fall.

The Plant Disease Diagnostic Clinic at Cornell University devotes an entire page to Red Thread.  Cornell describes the ideal weather for an outbreak:  'Red Thread occurs in the Spring and Fall during humid periods when the Air temperatures are between 60 degrees F and 75 degrees F.

Your problem, or another?
