A long-term lawn fertilizer releases the nutrients it contains evenly over a longer period of time. In this way, larger amounts can be fertilized at once without overfertilization damage occurring. The fertilization per year can be greatly reduced in this way. Depending on the product, the effect can last between three and six months. The actual duration of action depends not only on the ingredients, but also partly on natural influences such as moisture and warmth.<\/p>\n<p> <strong>Tip:<\/strong> You should only refrain from long-term fertilization on extremely intensively cared-for lawns in order to be able to control the nutrient supply in minute detail and to react immediately to any occurrence. This is the case, for example, on golf turf, professional sports turf or on the finest English ornamental turf. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\" \/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/b9fa9620d1cf5933bbf09f0b85e46329.jpg\" alt=\"Long-term lawn fertilizer: Lawn fertilizer with a long-term effect\" \/><\/p>\n<p> Long-term fertilizers should be avoided on particularly stressed lawns [Photo: Branko Jovanovic \/ Shutterstock.com]\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Long-term_lawn_fertilizer_effect_and_duration_of_effect\"><\/span> Long-term lawn fertilizer: effect and duration of effect<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p> The effect and duration of action is ultimately determined by the form of the nutrients it contains. Many fertilizers contain different components that complement each other.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li> Immediately soluble, mineral fertilizer salts lead to an immediate effect that only lasts for a short time<\/li>\n<li> Encapsulated nutrient ions must first diffuse through the coating. There is a delayed, long-lasting effect.<\/li>\n<li> Special chemical compounds that have to be converted by soil organisms before they are available to the plants, behave more like organic fertilizers. This applies to urea, among others. The effect is delayed and long-lasting.<\/li>\n<li> Nutrients bound in organic &#8220;shells&#8221; can only be made available to plants by using a diverse range of soil life. Their effect is the longest-lasting and the most weather-dependent of the long-term fertilizers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"A_comparison_of_long-term_lawn_fertilizers\"><\/span> A comparison of long-term lawn fertilizers<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p> Mineral, organic, organic-mineral and certified organic long-term lawn fertilizers differ in their properties. When it is released depends largely on the components it contains and at the same time influences the risk of over-fertilization and leaching. The presence or absence of organic matter affects the quality of the soil. In addition, all types of fertilizer also have certain special features. <\/p>\n<table id=tablepress-39 class=\"tablepress tablepress-id-39\">\n<tr class=\"row-1 odd\">\n<th class=column-1> Fertilizer type<\/th>\n<th class=column-2> release<\/th>\n<th class=column-3> Incorrect fertilization<\/th>\n<th class=column-4> Washout<\/th>\n<th class=column-5> ground<\/th>\n<th class=column-6> Specialty<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tbody class=row-hover>\n<tr class=\"row-2 even\">\n<td class=column-1> <strong>Mineral<\/strong><\/td>\n<td class=column-2> With moisture<\/td>\n<td class=column-3> If used incorrectly<\/td>\n<td class=column-4> If used incorrectly<\/td>\n<td class=column-5> Reduces quality when used alone<\/td>\n<td class=column-6> Any urea it contains behaves like an organic component<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-3 odd\">\n<td class=column-1> <strong>Organic<\/strong><\/td>\n<td class=column-2> With moisture, heat and biological activity<\/td>\n<td class=column-3> Very rare<\/td>\n<td class=column-4> Very rare<\/td>\n<td class=column-5> Increases quality<\/td>\n<td class=column-6> Can increase the humus content of the soil; no immediate effect<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-4 even\">\n<td class=column-1> <strong>Mineral-organic<\/strong><\/td>\n<td class=column-2> Partly with moisture, partly like organic<\/td>\n<td class=column-3> If used incorrectly<\/td>\n<td class=column-4> If used incorrectly<\/td>\n<td class=column-5> Maintains quality<\/td>\n<td class=column-6> Immediate and long-term effects<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-5 odd\">\n<td class=column-1> <strong>Bio<\/strong><\/td>\n<td class=column-2> With moisture, heat and biological activity<\/td>\n<td class=column-3> Very rare<\/td>\n<td class=column-4> Very rare<\/td>\n<td class=column-5> Greatly increases quality<\/td>\n<td class=column-6> Partly contains living microorganisms to improve damaged soils<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p> You can also find out more about organic lawn fertilizers here.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Advantages_of_a_long-term_lawn_fertilizer\"><\/span> Advantages of a long-term lawn fertilizer<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p> As you learned above, there are different types of slow release lawn fertilizers.

Otherwise the effect will be impaired.<\/li>\n<li> Uneven distribution does not lead to overfertilization, but it can cause uneven growth<\/li>\n<li> For an optimal distribution we recommend the use of fertilizer spreaders; the settings of common fertilizer spreaders are indicated on the Plantura organic lawn fertilizers<\/li>\n<li> In the case of manual distribution, the distribution on the surfaces is done broadly, the edges are reworked. If there is still a large amount of the calculated demand left after distribution, you can distribute this remainder equally over the entire area.<\/li>\n<li> After fertilization, the lawn can be used again immediately<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p> You can find more information about the various lawn fertilizers here.<\/p>\n<p> You can also find out everything else about \u201cfertilizing the lawn\u201d here in our overview article.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Long-term fertilizers save you constant re-fertilization and provide the lawn with nutrients for a long time.
