Science - Agriculture / agricultural fertilisers
German term or phrase: Depotdünger
In a brochure about the manufacture of agricultural chemicals:

Aber auch angepasste Mischungen bzw. Formulierungen sind gebräuchlich, welche sich in ihrer Zusammensetzung hinsichtlich primärer Nähr- und Spurenelemente unterscheiden. Dabei müssen die benötigten Elemente im Dünger in einer bioverfügbaren Form vorliegen. Je nach Formulierung gibt es lösliche Sofortdünger, Langzeitdünger und Depotdünger.

Can anyone help with the correct term, please?

delayed-release fertilizer
Explanation:
If Sofortdünger and Langzeitdünger are quick- and slow-release fertilizers, then by elimination Depotdünger must be delayed-release, where the product is coated so that the nutrients do not enter the soil immediately.

"Thanks to an additional layer, the product has a pre-defined and delayed release pattern, which enables the grower to fertilize more effectively.

"As soon as a coated fertilizer is mixed into the substrate, the release of nutrients begins. The second layer delays the start time by 2 to 3 months. Part of the granules have this extra coating, so that a portion of the product starts later and only release nutrients in the critical growth phase. The result is very effective nutrition and improved plant growth."
