Though more expensive than quick release nitrogen fertilizers, the advantages of longer turf response and low Turfgrass burn potential associated with slow-release forms have made them popular. When choosing and using slow-release nitrogen fertilizers, remember that release characteristics can vary dramatically with different materials and with different conditions.
Some slow release fertilizers, such as sulfur-coated urea and
