What is slow-release fertilizer? In short, slow-release fertilizers are fertilizers that release a small, steady amount of nutrients over time. These can be natural, organic fertilizers that add nutrients to the soil by naturally breaking down and decomposing. Most often, however, when a product is referred to as a slow-release fertilizer, it is fertilizer coated with plastic resin or sulfur-based polymers that are slowly broken down by water, heat, sunlight, and/or soil microbes.
