About Biological Fertiliser
SONIC Natural Farming Liquid Biological Fertilisers and Supplements for Livestock are cold fermented using 100% natural microorganism formulas, containing cultures of beneficial bacteria.
SONIC BOOM microbial Starter Cultures are carefully wild-harvested from over five unique locations in Australia.
Wild-harvesting, in various locations, allows us to capture a diverse range of indigenous microorganisms that are already adapted to thrive in certain soil types, climates, and environmental conditions.
By utilising this method we can create diverse microbial communities that are naturally suited to the needs of soil, plants, and animals.
Producing biofertilisers, using cold fermentation methods, ensures that these living microbial communities remain intact, viable, and ready to enhance a resilient and productive ecosystem.
SONIC BOOM Starter Cultures are introduced at the beginning of fermentation, to inoculate, activate, and keep the balance of beneficial biology throughout the fermentation process.
Cold fermentation converts compounds into soluble form, capturing all the minerals and trace elements in a naturally balanced, bio-available state, for easy uptake and utilisation by animals, the soil, roots, and leaves of your crops.
How Does Biofertiliser Benefit Soil?
Fermentation is a process that has been utilised for centuries in various industries including the production of biological fertiliser, a soil amendment with both microbial fertiliser, and mineral fertiliser effects. Cold fermentation is the key to making biologically ‘alive’ fertilisers.
By using biologically active products, produced fresh, we can harness the full potential of beneficial microorganisms, to achieve optimal results in plant growth, resilience, and agricultural productivity.
Benefits of Boosting Soil Microbes

GREAT RESULTS
“If I see something once and something that dramatic, I know it’s got to be doing good.”
CROP RESILIENCE
“I think it’s doing a fantastic job! We have had the best year with the most tree stress.”
Why Use Biological Fertiliser?
A key factor in achieving nutrient dense crops is optimising the biology in your soil. By supporting diverse soil life, growers and farmers can unlock greater nutrient cycling and availability for plants, leading to more nutritious produce, grass and other forages.
Other key practices to boost soil biology include minimising tillage, increasing organic matter inputs, applying biological fertilisers, and avoiding synthetic fertilisers and pesticides.
Biological Fertiliser encourages earthworms, fungi, bacteria and other beneficial organisms to thrive, breaking down organic matter and making nutrients more accessible to plants
Healthy, biologically active soils don’t just improve nutrition – they also enhance drought resilience, water infiltration, and soil structure for better overall growing conditions. Investing in improving soil biology is an investment in the long-term productivity and sustainability of your crops and pastures.

Frequently Asked Questions
What specific benefits should I expect to see using liquid fish and seaweed biofertiliser?
Using SONIC Liquid Fish and Seaweed Biofertilisers, you can expect multiple benefits, especially when integrated with regenerative farming practices. These include enhanced plant resilience to stress, stronger root development, and improved plant immunity. Additionally, your crops will have higher nutritional value, and there will be an increase in photosynthesis efficiency. Overall, biofertilisers help create healthier, more robust plants by providing a balanced, bioavailable source of essential nutrients and promoting beneficial microbial activity in the soil.
What is the difference between liquid seaweed extract, like Seasol, and liquid seaweed fermented biofertiliser?
The primary difference between liquid seaweed extracts, like Seasol, and liquid seaweed ferment lies in their production methods and nutrient profiles. Seaweed extract is made through chemical or heat extraction, concentrating specific nutrients like potassium.
In contrast, seaweed ferment uses natural fermentation, preserving a broader range of nutrients and adding beneficial microbes and enzymes that support soil health and plant growth. As a result, liquid seaweed ferment offers a more holistic approach to soil and plant nutrition by supporting both immediate nutrient needs and long-term soil fertility.
How do fish and seaweed biofertilisers differ from traditional fertilisers?
Fish and seaweed biofertilisers, like SONIC products, are designed to feed and support beneficial microbial activity in the soil, unlike synthetic fertilisers, which do not enhance soil biology. By boosting the soil microbiome, these biofertilisers promote natural processes that enhance plant health and soil fertility. They complement regenerative farming practices such as low till, rotational grazing, and cover cropping. which aim to improve soil structure, reduce erosion, and enhance water retention. Together, these methods create a sustainable and productive farming ecosystem.
How long does it take to see results after applying fish and seaweed biofertiliser?
The timeframe for seeing results after applying SONIC liquid seaweed and fish biofertilisers can vary based on the crop type, growing practices, and soil condition. The beneficial microbes and nutrients in the biofertilisers begin working immediately to enrich the soil and support plant development, leading to healthier, more vigorous plants over time. For pastures, changes like faster germination and stronger early growth are often observed during seeding. Orchard and vegetable growers typically see benefits such as tastier produce and longer shelf life.
Is there a withholding period after applying biological fish and seaweed fertilisers?
No, there is no withholding period after applying our biological fish and seaweed fertilisers because they are 100% natural and non-toxic to livestock. In fact, the liquid seaweed can also be used as a mineral feed supplement, providing additional benefits to animals. These fertilisers are safe to use around crops, livestock, and pets, allowing you to integrate them seamlessly into your farming practices without any concerns about safety or toxicity.
Do SONIC liquid fish and seaweed biofertilisers have a bad smell?
No, SONIC Liquid Seaweed and Fish Fertiliser do not have a strong or unpleasant odour. Unlike some other fertilisers, they are fermented, not putrified, which helps maintain a balance of healthy bacteria through the use of microbe cultures. The product has a natural seaweed and fish aroma with a fresh, tangy undertone. This scent is only noticeable while the fertiliser is being sprayed or applied and does not linger for long afterward.
How does SONIC Natural Farming differ from other fertiliser companies?
SONIC Natural Farming stands out by offering three flagship products with unique ordering options designed to ensure the freshness and potency of biologically active ingredients. Unlike companies that bulk produce, our products are made to order and supplied directly to customers within days of production, guaranteeing optimal bioavailability of minerals. We can produce biofertilisers directly on your farm, with our qualified operations team, provide all necessary materials, and handle the entire process. Alternatively, we offer hands-on training for farmers, enabling them to continue production independently with ongoing support and resources.
