How is Biological Fertiliser Made?

Biological fish and seaweed fertilisers are made using a cold fermentation process, which preserves the integrity of ocean fish and seaweed kelp ingredients, ensuring the final product is rich in organic nutrients and beneficial microbes.

The Production Process

Processing biological fertilisers involves cold fermentation using 100% natural microorganisms, including beneficial bacteria, fungi, and other microbes.

These microbial cultures break down the fish and seaweed ingredients, creating a bioavailable liquid mineral concentrate that enhances soil fertility and nurtures your soil, resulting in healthier crops and more resilient land for years to come.

Fermentation ‘Predigests’ Nutrients, Making them Easier for Plants, Soil Microbes, and Animals to Absorb

Microbial Cultures are introduced at the beginning of a 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.

One of the Many Functions of Beneficial Microorganisms is Suppressing Harmful Pathogens and Pests

Biologically fermented SONIC Liquid Fish and Liquid Seaweed contain a variety of naturally occurring microbes that play beneficial roles in soil health and plant growth. These microbes work symbiotically with plants, improving nutrient availability, enhancing disease resistance, and supporting soil biodiversity.

Some of the key types of naturally occurring microbes found in biologically fermented liquid fish and seaweed include:

1. Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB): These bacteria help improve soil health by enhancing nutrient cycling and suppressing harmful pathogens. LAB promotes the breakdown of organic matter into forms that are easier for plants to absorb.
2. Bacillus species: These soil bacteria are known for their ability to promote plant growth by enhancing nutrient availability, especially phosphorus, and by producing enzymes that break down organic matter. They also help in controlling soilborne diseases by outcompeting harmful microbes.
3. Actinobacteria: A group of bacteria involved in the decomposition of organic matter. Actinobacteria help improve soil texture, nutrient availability, and contribute to the breakdown of complex organic materials like cellulose and lignin.
4. Rhizobacteria: These bacteria are often found in the rhizosphere (root zone) and play a significant role in promoting plant growth by fixing nitrogen, enhancing nutrient uptake, and producing growth-promoting hormones such as auxins and cytokinins.
5. Pseudomonas species: These are beneficial bacteria that can promote plant health by producing antimicrobial compounds, improving nutrient availability, and helping to suppress harmful pathogens. They are often involved in the process of breaking down organic matter and enhancing soil fertility.
6. Yeasts: Certain yeasts naturally occur in fermented seaweed and are involved in the fermentation process. These microorganisms can help improve soil health by promoting the breakdown of organic matter and producing beneficial byproducts such as vitamins and enzymes that enhance plant growth.
7. Fungi: While not always present in large quantities in fermented fish and seaweed, beneficial fungi, such as mycorrhizal fungi, may be present or promoted by the fermentation process. These fungi form symbiotic relationships with plant roots, enhancing nutrient absorption (particularly phosphorus) and increasing plant resistance to diseases.
8. Algae: While not technically a microbe, algae often coexist with microbes in fermented liquid seaweed. Algae can contribute beneficial nutrients, promote the development of microbial communities, and help increase soil carbon content, which supports long-term soil health.

These microbes work together in the soil to improve soil structure, enhance nutrient cycling, and increase plant resistance to disease, all while promoting a more sustainable and balanced agricultural system. By using fermented liquid fish and seaweed as a natural fertiliser, farmers can foster a healthy microbial community that supports both plant growth and soil health.

Why Use Biological Fertilisers?

Biological fertilisers optimise soil biology, enhancing nutrient cycling and availability for plants. By supporting diverse soil life, farmers can grow more nutritious crops and pastures. To boost soil health further, and achieve the best results, use biological fertilisers in conjunction with regenerative farming practices.

Biological Fertilisers encourage earthworms, fungi, bacteria and other beneficial organisms to thrive

Healthy, biologically active soils don’t just improve nutrition – they also enhance drought resilience, water infiltration, and soil structure for better overall growing conditions.

Improving soil biology is an investment in the long-term productivity and sustainability of your crops and pastures.
