Default Why wash fertilizer off the grass?

If you use fertilizer containing weed killer they want you to put it on wet
grass and do not wash it off the grass.

But if you use fertilizer without weed killer they want it washed off of the
grass. Why? Is this fertilizer different chemically?



Thanks



To address this specific question:

The package of fertilizer should have a phone number for contacting the
manufacturer. Call. Ask them. They will have the answer.

If there is no phone number on the package, ask the nursery advisor
where you bought it. If they can't answer, shop at a real nursery.
