In the context of climate change, chestnut fertilization is receiving great attention in the Mediterranean basin, due to the increase in the unpredictability of the pluviometric regime which makes it difficult to determine the optimal timing of fertilizer applications. The purpose of this work was to assess the suitability of fertilizers with mechanisms for nutrient protection on the increase of tree nutritional status and crop productivity. Four fertilizers with restricted nutrient solubility were tested:
