If you mean bagged, granular fertilizer, like that sold for garden and lawn use, it tends to be slightly acidic. Use of fertilizers, as in farm soil, over a period of years definitely increases the acidity of the soil, which is why farmers add lime every few years.

What does an alkali fertilizer do to an acid soil?

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.
