Formula Fish Emulsion

Every school child has heard the story of how the Indians taught the Pilgrims how to fertilize corn by burying fish. Whether the story is true or not, fish is a fantastic organic fertilizer that has been used for centuries all over the world. Like all of the better organic fertilizers, it enriches the soil with nutrients, and helps increase soil bio-activity as well. By putting the fish into a liquid form, the nutrients in Fish Emulsion are more readily available to the soil microbes, as well as the plant roots. Furthermore, when mixed with water and sprayed on leaves, Fish Emulsion makes a terrific and fast-acting foliar fertilizer, higher in Nitrogen than most organic fertilizers.

Our Fish Emulsion is derived from ocean fish that feed on mineral rich plankton. The result is a 5-1-1 fertilizer loaded with Trace Minerals, Macro and Micro-nutrients. There are over 40 minerals, vitamins and amino acids in our Fish Emulsion, such as iron, boron, zinc, calcium, manganese, vitamins B1, B2 to name just a few. Most of these are in a chelated form, meaning they are readily available to the plant or turf.

This product is made by liquefying whole fish, not just leftover fish parts. It is then concentrated by evaporation to a cream-like 52% solid. It has a 10% natural oil property, which can lead to dramatic reductions in insect damage, according to both farmers and growing university supported tests. There is no formaldehyde or other chemicals used in this process, and no odor-masking agents are added.

Fish Emulsion, when used on crops or vegetable gardens, provides high nutritional value and excellent plant health. It also has a direct effect on the general health of livestock which pasture on fields sprayed with it. It contains health-giving ingredients that you simply can't get from synthetic fertilizers. However, you can enhance other liquid fertilizers by simply adding in some Fish Emulsion.

Fish Emulsion is concentrated into a creamy, viscous brown liquid screened to a 20 mesh, and needs to be diluted with water prior to application. It has a characteristic fish odor which dissipates quickly, especially if watered after a ground application. Fish Emulsion can be mixed with our Aerify! or Aerify PLUS, our Bio-Enhanced Liquid Fertilizers and our Biological Dethatcher. If mixed with fertilizers or Dethatcher, use within 12 hours.
