A CRF (controlled release fertiliser) and slow release fertiliser are two very different products but are often confused.
CRF is is a granule of fertiliser covered by a semi-permeable resin coating making a prill. These prills release fertiliser into the growing medium over a predetermined period of time, usually 6, 8 or 12 months.
A slow release fertiliser is either a granule that takes time to dissolve or it is in a form that needs to be metabolised in the soil before it becomes available to the plant. This group usually lasts 2-4 weeks before needing to be reapplied.
