What is the best type of fertilizer for centipede lawns?

Nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K) are the main nutrients that plants need to survive. Complete fertilizer contains those three ingredients and they are listed clearly as the N-P-K ratio. So, if a package of fertilizer states that its N-P-K ration is 10-6-6, then the fertilizer contains 10% nitrogen, 6% phosphorus, and 6% potassium. Water-soluble nitrogen satisfies the plants needs quickly, while insoluble nitrogen must be broken down by organisms in the soil before the plants can be fully satisfied.
