No. Stardew Valley allows only one fertilizer type on each soil tile, so Speed-Gro cannot be combined there with Basic Fertilizer, Quality Fertilizer, or another fertilizer. Choose the single effect that matters most for the crop: faster growth, better crop quality, or water retention.
Why Speed-Gro does not stack with other fertilizers
The Stardew Valley Wiki’s fertilizer rules allow only one fertilizer type per soil tile. Adding another type does not combine its effect with Speed-Gro. This applies even if the fertilizers offer different benefits, such as faster growth and improved quality.

Fertilizer can persist through a season, with exceptions for compatible multi-season crops and greenhouse soil. That persistence does not let you place multiple fertilizer types on the same tile.

What Speed-Gro speeds up—and what it does not
Crop growth and the first harvest
Speed-Gro shortens the time a crop takes to mature and reach its first harvest. It can be applied to tilled soil before or after planting, including while a crop is growing. Apply it before planting or as early as possible: completed growth stages are not sped up retroactively, so a late application can affect only the remaining stages. The Speed-Gro and Deluxe Speed-Gro pages describe application timing.

Repeat harvests
For crops that regrow after harvesting, Speed-Gro helps with maturity and the first harvest; it does not shorten the wait between later harvests. When comparing crop calendars, distinguish the days to the first harvest from the interval between repeat harvests. The Fertilizer page covers this distinction.

Because the effects cannot be combined on one tile, pick the fertilizer based on the crop’s main need:
