What type of fertilizer is recommended for preventative measures?

Jacobsen Golf & Turf: Dr. Milt F.A.Q.
Using an organic or slow release type fertilizer for late fall fertilization (after frost) will avoid putting a soluble nutrient source when the microorganism needs it. It also optimizes the nutrients availability to when the plant will need it in the spring as soil temperatures begin to warm. With this practice, early spring nutrient application is not needed, and again no soluble nutrient source is provided in the upper turf canopy.
