Question: How and when should I apply lawn fertilizers in spring?
Slow-release lawn fertilizers are generally the best type to apply on your grass....
Answer:

Scotts suggests a four-part schedule for applying lawn fertilizers, beginning with your spring grass. The schedule will depend on where you live and your grass-type. For much more about getting your grass ready in spring, consult "Spring Lawn Care."

Of course, the organic route is always a possible alternative: use compost!
