 sulfate forms of nutrients for quick release fertilizers is also known. However, the sulfates are typically very acidic, meaning that simply combining the oxide fertilizer and the sulfate fertilizer leads to precipitation of nutrients and a non-functional product.
This is a concern, as it is often necessary or desirable to apply fertilizers and/or supplements several times over the course of a growing season. As will be appreciated by one knowledgeable in the art, with each application, there is an inherent risk that damage will occur to the plants, thereby reducing crop value. This does not include the inherent cost involved in dedicating time and resources to the task of fertilizing. Furthermore, with multiple applications, there is significant risk that the required nutrients may not be available during an important stage in the plant's development.
Clearly, a single fertilizer having both short term, quick uptake nutrients and long term, slow uptake nutrients that can be applied in a single application is needed. Embodiments of the present invention generally relate to computer file management, and more specifically, to managing configuration files.
At present, various systems including software systems and hardware systems generally use a configuration file to record information or parameters about their configurations. With the Linux system as an example, when the system is installed on a machine, it needs to configure a host name. Correspondingly, the host name is an item of configuration information of the Linux system, or a “configuration item.” Typically, configuration information is tangibly stored in the form of files in the machine. The parameters, settings or any other configuration information included in the configuration file can be modified or updated, dependent on various factors such as host machine, deployment environment, usage scenario, etc.
Configuration management (CM) refers to management of a configuration file and the configuration information stored therein. Dedicated CM tools have been developed to manage such configuration files of various systems. For a CM tool, it is a fundamental and important function to automatically discover a configuration file among a plurality of files stored in the machine.
Typical CM tools rely on pre-defined scripts, rules, or a user's expertise to determine which file(s) stored in the machine is a configuration file. However, with the increasing complexity of systems and the versatility of configuration files, traditional CM tools typically cannot discover all of the configuration files, which can cause a degradation in the accuracy of CM management. Moreover, for those configurations that fail to be discovered automatically, the user typically has to discover them manually or semi-manually. For example, a human user

 This is a business, as it is frequently necessary or desirable to apply fertilizer and/or supplements several times over the course of a grow season. As will be appreciated by one knowledgeable in the art, with each application, there is an built-in risk that damage will occur to the plant, thereby reducing crop value. This does not include the inherent monetary value involved in dedicating time and resources to the task of fertilizing. Furthermore, with multiple application, there is significant risk that the required nutrients may not be available during an important stage in the plant's development. 
 Clearly, a single fertilizer having both short term, quick uptake nutrients and long term, dense uptake nutrients that can be applied in a individual application is needed. Embodiments of the present invention generally associate to computer file management, and more specifically, to managing configuration files. 
 At present, diverse systems including software systems and hardware systems generally use a shape file to record information or parameters about their configurations. With the Linux system as an example, when the system is install on a machine, it needs to configure a host name. Correspondingly, the host name is an item of shape information of the Linux system, or a “ configuration item. ” Typically, configuration information is tangibly stored in the form of files in the car. The parameters, settings or any other configuration information include in the configuration file can be modify or updated, pendent on various divisor such as host machine, deployment environment, custom scenario, etc.

For a CM tool, it is a cardinal and important function to automatically discover a configuration file among a plurality of files store in the machine. 
 Typical CM tools rely on pre - defined scripts, rule, or a exploiter's expertness to settle which file(s) stored in the machine is a configuration file. However, with the increasing complexity of organization and the versatility of configuration files, traditional CM tools typically cannot unwrap all of the configuration files, which can cause a degradation in the accuracy of CM management. Moreover, for those shape that fail to be discovered automatically, the user typically have to discover them manually or semi - manually. For example, a human exploiter
