Enzyme digestion of fish byproducts maintains the complete protein balance and mineral activity of the ocean fish. This process does not denature the proteins, vitamins, minerals and fatty acids (oil/lipids). The net effect is that Liquid Fish is extremely biologically compatible and stimulates soil and foliage biological activity. Liquid fish is rapidly assimilated by soil microbes as well as plant foliage. Foliar applications stimulate plant activity within 24 to 48 hours.

Benefits

Fish fertilizers are excellent sources of nutrition for soils and plants as fish contain the full spectrum of nutrients found in the planets waters. Plants rapidly respond to and grow vigorously when regularly fertilized with fish fertilizers.

Fish fertilizers contain significant quantities of protein Nitrogen (an important source of balanced Nitrogen) as well as a healthy balance of all 18 nutrients known to be significant for crop growth

All of these mineral nutrients are in protein chelated forms which are usable by the crops and additionally are resistant to loss from leaching.

Fish also contains more than 60 other trace minerals which have positive effects on soil biology and crop health. Fish based proteins and other nutrients are rapidly assimilated by crops when applied via the foliage or through irrigation.

The nutrients in fish are a quick and direct stimulant to the plants roots and leaves . Fish applications can rapidly improve crop fertility in virtually all situations.

Additionally fish provides both immediate fertilizer response as well as longer lasting fertility affect for later in the crops growth.

The balanced , moderate levels of nutrients in fish products provide a broad spectrum of fertility without the problems associated with excess application of any one nutrients.

This is especially important in regards to nitrogen. Nitrogen, which is indispensable for plant growth due to its effect on chlorophyll, protein and amino acid production, is used in large amounts by most plants.

While it is very important to have adequate nitrogen for the crop, it is common for crops and soils to be easily overwhelmed by an excess supply of nitrogen in relation to the other essential elements. When crops contain excess nitrogen, particularly in the nitrate nitrogen form, plants become much more susceptible to problems associated with insects. diseases and susceptibility to weather related stress problems.

Fish fertilizers provide balanced, moderate amounts of nitrogen and all of the other essential nutrients , plus many more trace minerals not found in chemical fertilizers. This balance helps to provide full spectrum fertility without excess of nitrogen and reduces problems with pests and diseases while supply fertility boost, increased plant growth and vigor.

A significant additional benefit of fish as a fertilizer is the dramatic stimulation to the soils beneficial microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi which consume, digest and release the abundant nutrients in the fish when it is applied to the soil.

Fish products can make a significant contribution to the overall fertility of the soil and crop while at the same time stimulating the biological activity in the soil , thus improving the quality of the soil for many years to come. The increase in soil biology activity after fish has been applied is very significant and can be dramatic on weak or lower fertility soils which are in need of microbial stimulation.

Even on the most fertile of soil applications of fish fertilizers have shown positive crop growth response as well as microbial population increases . Laboratory analysis of soil micro life has show major increases in populations of beneficial aerobic bacteria, fungi (mycorrhizal fungi), and Actinomycetes.
