Ivy et al. 2002. Date of potting and fertilization affects plant growth, mineral nutrient content, and substrate electrical conductivity.

Promising results show that potting in fall and applying the full rate of CRF can increase growth by matching nutrient release in spring with CRF release. also, reduces N loss since plant is taking up N at the time of peak release.
