Nitrogen Fertilizer for Lawns, 38-0-0 Mini Prill Granules in a 40-Pound Bag for Growing-Season Feeding
This nitrogen fertilizer supports actively growing lawns through a blend of quick-response and extended-release nitrogen sources. GCI Turf 38-0-0 G combines ammonium sulfate, urea, methylene urea and XCU in a 40-pound bag, allowing application rates to suit heavier feeding or lighter spoon-feeding programs.
The 150 SGN mini prill granules make spreading easier and are especially suited to turf mowed below 0.5 inches. The formula can also be used on other mowing heights and on both warm-season and cool-season turf during active growth. Feeding duration is approximately 10–12 weeks, depending on climate, temperature, moisture and turf growth.
Spread onto dry grass blades and water in after application to move the granules into the soil. Follow the product label for application rates, avoid heavy runoff, and do not apply to dormant, frozen or severely stressed turf. Keep children and pets away during application and watering until the lawn has dried.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can this fertilizer be used on closely mowed lawns?
Yes. This 38-0-0 fertilizer is suitable for turf at any mowing height, and its 150 SGN mini prill format is particularly suited to grass mowed below 0.5 inches.

No. Apply this granular fertilizer to dry grass blades, avoiding morning dew, then water it in to move the granules off the leaves and into the soil. Avoid heavy runoff.
When should I fertilize warm-season or cool-season grass?
Apply this fertilizer when the turf is actively growing. Warm-season grass can be fed during its summer growing season; cool-season grass can be fed during active growth, with caution during extreme heat or drought. Avoid dormant, frozen or severely stressed turf.
How long does the nitrogen feeding last?
This fertilizer provides approximately 10–12 weeks of feeding, with actual duration affected by climate, temperature, moisture and turf growth rate. Its blend includes quick-response nitrogen alongside MU and controlled-release XCU.
When can children and pets return to the lawn?
Keep children and pets off the lawn while this fertilizer is being applied and watered in. Resume normal lawn use after watering is complete and the lawn has dried.
