Slow release fertilizers are excellent alternatives to soluble fertilizers. Because nutrients are released at a slower rate throughout the season, plants are able to take up most of the nutrients without waste by leaching. A slow release fertilizer is more convenient, since less frequent application is required. Fertilizer burn is not a problem with slow release fertilizers even at high rates of application; however, it is still important to follow application recommendations. Slow release fertilizers may be more expensive than soluble types, but their benefits outweigh their disadvantages.
