No, not in general and I've never heard of it been used that way.
It depends on the fertilizer. Phosphate fertilizers are alkaline while ammonium nitrate, another common fertilizer, is mildly acidic.

Phosphorus is an acid-forming element that is in garden fertilizer.Specifically, phosphorus is a major nutrient ingredient in garden fertilizer. It can be broken down into phosphoric acid. Garden fertilizer also contains nitrogen and potassium as its other two main nutrient ingredients. Potassium is an alkaline-forming element.
As in all acid-base (alkali) reactions, it will reduce the acidity of the soil and, if there is an excess of base to acid, it can make the soil become alkaline. The soil will be less acidic if base is less than acidity, become neutral (if base = acidity), or become alkaline if base is greater than acidity.
yes it is alkaline

Are lilac bushes acid loving plants OR DO THEY NEED ALKALINE FERTILIZER
As a fertilizer for alkaline soils. It can also be used as a acid regulator in flour and bread, designated E517
A controlled-release granular fertilizer high in nitrogen describes the fertilizer that can be used for Aralia elata. The Japanese angelica tree handles time-release fertilizer applications every other month. It shows the best results in moist, well-drained soils that can be acidic, neutral or alkaline and clayey, loamy or sandy.
Phosphorus is an acid-forming element that is in garden fertilizer.Specifically, phosphorus is a major nutrient ingredient in garden fertilizer. It can be broken down into phosphoric acid. Garden fertilizer also contains nitrogen and potassium as its other two main nutrient ingredients. Potassium is an alkaline-forming element.
Balanced, slow-release, 10-10-10 fertilizer describes the best fertilizer for plumbago. The numbers identify the nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium ratios. The herbaceous plants and shrubs in question need well-drained soils with neutral soil pHs (power of hydrogen) and therefore will not tolerate fertilizers for acid- or alkaline-loving plants.
No, fig trees (Ficus carica) do not get an acid fertilizer.Specifically, fig trees benefit from the intake of phosphorus and potassium. Phosphorus is an acid-forming element. Potassium is an alkaline-forming element. The two nutrient ingredients work to cancel each other out into a neutral fertilizer.
As in all acid-base (alkali) reactions, it will reduce the acidity of the soil and, if there is an excess of base to acid, it can make the soil become alkaline. The soil will be less acidic if base is less than acidity, become neutral (if base = acidity), or become alkaline if base is greater than acidity.
A balanced, slow-release fertilizer is what is best for Bartlett pear trees (Pyrus communis).Specifically, Bartlett pear trees cannot tolerate heavy applications of nitrogen fertilizer because of a coupling of lush growth with fire blight. They favor balanced, slow-release 13 (nitrogen) -13 (phosphorus) -13 (potassium) fertilizers. They handle slightly acidic soils. So ammonium sulfate (21-0-0) is their only fertilizer of choice if they are located in alkaline soils, particularly with soil pHs around 7.5 on the 1-14 scale.Otherwise, Bartlett pear trees may need no fertilizer applications if they grow in grass, ground cover, lawn or turf that is on its own regular fertilizer schedule.
How much fertilizer will be used and what kind of fertilizer.
yes toothpaste is an alkaline because the alkaline overpowers the acid in the toothpaste
