Eutrophication concerns encountered in surface waters and which may even occur in the seas and oceans if precautions are not taken have caused scientists to hold chemical fertilizers responsible for the situation as much as anthropological factors. In this respect, it is a fact that we need to be more conscious and sensitive about fertilizer use in terms of both environmental and economic aspects. Mineral fertilizer compounds are made slowly or controlled soluble with the coating technique of sulfur, humic substances, resins and polymers. Another way to ensure that fertilizer containing nutrients dissolves slowly is to use compounds of nutrients with low solubility as fertilizers. On the other hand, the rapid depletion of resources with limited reserves in the world has led to the development of new processes that will utilize by-products and residues. In this context, phosphate fertilizers are important in terms of both slow-release fertilizer production and the protection of phosphate reserves. The rapid decrease in phosphate resources in the world due to their use in fertilizer production, and the low efficiency of utilization of fertilizer components due to the use of highly soluble fertilizers in fertilizer consumption have directed fertilizer technology to the production of slowly soluble fertilizers. In this context, the evaluation of waste materials by obtaining fertilizer-containing products is important in terms of resource conservation.
