See the differences between quick-release fertilizers, such as urea, and enhanced efficiency fertilizers (EEFs). EEFs provide increased nutrient uptake, while reducing potential losses to the environment through leaching, denitrification, runoff and volatilization. They are also more effective at regulating the release of nitrogen to the turfgrass resulting in more efficient nutrient delivery.
By definition, all EEFs provide increased nutrient uptake, while reducing potential losses to the environment. How they achieve those benefits, however, varies by technology. Investing time to understand these differences will help you to select the EEF products that will best meet your fertilization needs.
Only fertilizers that exhibit distinct performance characteristics can be classified as an EFF. Learn More
Environmental factors contribute to how EEFs release nutrients and the rate of that release. Learn More
Not only do EEFs more effectively deliver nutrition, they help improve the bottom line. Learn More
Under the EEF umbrella are controlled-release, slow-release and stabilized nitrogen technologies. Learn More
Studies show EEFs are more effective in optimizing plant nutrient uptake when compared to non-EEF sources. Learn More
Optimizing plant uptake reduces potential losses to the environment through leaching, denitrification, runoff and volatilization. Learn More
