Fertilizers
Liquid Fertilizer is formulated and packaged as a liquid and includes clear liquids
(solutions) and liquids that contain suspended solids (suspension fertilizers).
Nutrients are already in solution, which means they are also immediately available
to the plant. While the plant's root system absorbs most nutrients there's also a
very small amount that can be taken in through the leaves resulting in a quick green
up within days of the application. Liquid application usually has better coverage
which can better fight weeds. Since the nutrients are already in soluble form, most
of them are readily available to the plant. Liquids provide a fast release supply of
nutrients which initially produce good results but won't last as long as granular.
Granular Fertilizers are dry particles that manufacture in sizes between finely
crushed, granular, crystalline, powder or processed into uniform prills. They can
have a controlled release mechanism which might make the initial green up take a
little longer but the results will likely last much longer. Granular can also accomplish
more over time than liquid, per application.
