quality of foliage due to intensity of foliar coloration depends on proper nutrition ( Stamps and Osborne, 2003 ). CRFs are commonly used as fertilizer sources in container production systems ( Grable et al., 2017 ). CRFs can improve plant growth and

Controlled-release fertilizers (CRFs) are widely used in horticultural production systems because of their ability to match nutrient release with plant demand, and to reduce labor costs and volatilization ( Halvorson et al. 2014 ). These

N release curve of CRF was divided into the sigmoid pattern, parabolic pattern, and double parabolic pattern ( Yu et al., 2006 ). A CRF whose CNR (from a CRF) curve has a parabolic shape is called a PCRF, but if the curve is sigmoidal or “S” shaped

., 2009 ). Compared with liquid fertilizer (LF), CRF is economical, because it does not require equipment to adjust the nutrient concentration and deliver the fertilizer. In our previous study, we demonstrated that CRF application was able to maintain the
