The duration that a slow-release organic fertiliser lasts in the soil typically ranges from 2 to 6 months, depending on several factors such as the type of fertiliser, soil conditions, climate, and the specific needs of the plants.
In general:
Cooler temperatures and low moisture slow down the release of nutrients, causing the fertiliser to last longer.
Warmer temperatures and frequent watering can speed up the breakdown and nutrient release, causing the fertiliser to decompose more quickly.
Organic slow-release fertilisers, made from materials like composted manure, bone meal, or feather meal, release nutrients gradually as they break down, providing a steady supply of nutrients over a longer period compared to conventional fertilisers.
