COST SAVINGS
You really can see the difference, just driving up the road. We’re happy, and it has actually saved us a lot of money on extra fertilisers.
GREAT RESULTS
If I see something once and something that dramatic, I know it’s got to be doing good.
RESILIENCE
I think it’s doing a fantastic job! We have had the best year with the most tree stress.
What is ‘Hydrolysate’ Fertiliser?
There are different approaches to producing a hydrolysate fertiliser. In the context of agriculture, hydrolysate refers to a type of fish fertiliser that is derived from cold processed whole fish using an enzymatic process.
The production of hydrolysate involves breaking down the fish into smaller components such as proteins, amino acids, and other organic compounds.

Here at SONIC Natural Farming, a biological fertiliser company based in Australia, we use a biological fermentation process to make Fish Hydrolysate Fertiliser. Cold fermentation helps retain the nutritional value and beneficial properties of the fish, while making the liquid chelated and bioavailable—easy for plants and soil microbes to uptake.
Fish Hydrolysate Fertiliser is commonly used in agriculture as a natural and sustainable source of nutrients for plants, and provides essential elements like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, as well as trace elements that are beneficial for soil health and plant growth. SONIC Fish Hydrolysate Fertiliser is processed and supplied to farmers fresh, and contains no added fillers, stabilisers, preservatives or synthetic minerals.
Hydrolysate Benefits
One of the advantages of using hydrolysate as a fertiliser is its ability to release nutrients slowly over time. This gradual nutrient release ensures that plants receive a steady supply of nourishment without the risk of over-fertilisation or nutrient leaching.
Furthermore, hydrolysate, derived from whole fish for example, often contains additional bioactive compounds such as growth-promoting hormones and enzymes, that can dramatically enhance plant growth and productivity. These compounds can also help improve root development, increase nutrient absorption, stimulate microbial activity in the soil, and enhance crop yield.
Overall, hydrolysate derived from cold processed whole fish offers agricultural practitioners an effective and sustainable option for providing essential nutrients to their crops while promoting healthy soil fertility.

Fish Hydrolysate and Fish Emulsion Differences
Two different forms of fish-based fertilisers that are commonly used in gardening and agriculture are fish hydrolysate fertiliser and fish emulsion fertiliser. While both products are derived from fish, there are some key differences between them.
Fish hydrolysate is a liquid fertiliser made in Australia by breaking down whole fish or fish parts into liquid using an enzymatic or cold fermentation process. The fermentation process involves the use of natural bacteria and lactic acids to break down the proteins, oils, and other nutrients present in the fish into a more readily available liquid form for plants. The resulting liquid is rich in essential nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, amino acids, and micronutrients.

Fish emulsion fertiliser is also a liquid fertiliser made from whole, or parts of, fish, however fish emulsion undergoes a different production process.
In general, fish emulsion fertiliser is produced through a heating process to extract its nutrients. While the heating process used in production can degrade some beneficial elements, fish emulsion still provides a natural source of nitrogen, phosphorus, and trace minerals to nourish plants.
Another advantage of using biological liquid fish hydrolysate fertiliser over fish emulsion fertiliser is that it tends to have a milder odour compared to the strong smell associated with fish emulsion.
Additionally, because fish hydrolysate fertiliser is produced through a cold process, to breakdown the fish, rather than heating, it retains more beneficial nutrients, enzymes, oils, and bioactive compounds. The end result is a product that can offer a great deal of fungal and microbial food, as well as promote plant growth and soil health.

Frequently Asked Questions
What specific benefits should I expect to see using liquid fish and seaweed biofertiliser?
These products work wonders on your soil, helping crops grow stronger, more resilient, and healthier. When used with regenerative farming practices, they support the soil’s microbial life, providing essential nutrients in their most bioavailable form, ensuring long-term, sustainable farming success.
What's the difference between liquid seaweed extract, such as 'Seasol', and liquid seaweed biological fertiliser?
Liquid seaweed extract is chemically or heat-extracted to concentrate specific nutrients like potassium for a quick boost. In contrast, biological seaweed fertiliser is naturally fermented, preserving a broader range of nutrients and adding beneficial microbes and enzymes that support soil health and plant growth. Seaweed ferment offers a more holistic solution, addressing both immediate and long-term fertility needs. Read our article Liquid Seaweed Fertiliser Comparison: Ferment Vs Extract
How long does it take to see results after applying fish and seaweed biofertiliser?
Results from biological fertilisers vary by crop, soil, and growing practices, but beneficial microbes and nutrients start working immediately to enrich the soil and support plant growth. Pasture improvements often show as fast germination and strong early growth, while orchard and vegetable growers typically see better growth, tastier produce, and longer shelf life.
Are SONIC Biofertiliser products environmentally friendly?
Yes, SONIC products are designed with the environment in mind. We use 100% Australian-sourced, natural ingredients like ethically harvested seaweed and fish waste that would otherwise go to landfill. By turning these resources into powerful biological fertilisers, we reduce waste and promote sustainability. Our products contain no synthetic additives—just fresh, potent solutions for maximum benefit. We produce our biofertilisers made-to-order, eliminating waste from mass production and storage. Additionally, our refill program allows farmers and growers to refill their containers, enabling the reuse of plastic packaging.
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, our liquid seaweed is a mineral feed supplement, providing multiple health benefits for animals. These fertilisers are safe to use around children, livestock, and pets, allowing you to integrate them seamlessly into your farming practices without any concerns about safety or toxicity.
How do I know biological fertilisers are as effective as synthetic ones?
Biological fertilisers offer long-term benefits that synthetic options can’t match. Our products are rich in natural nutrients and beneficial microbes, which work together to improve soil health and plant growth over time. Unlike synthetic fertilisers that often provide a quick nutrient boost, biological fertilisers build soil fertility for sustainable, long-term results.
Do SONIC Biological Fertiliser products have a shelf life?
We advise following the recommended storage guidelines and usage window of 3-6 months from the batch date. This will allow you to take full advantage of the products’ peak biological performance and get the most value from your investment.
Do SONIC liquid fish and seaweed biofertilisers have a bad smell?
Our biological products have a mild, non-offensive smell—nothing like the strong odour of many fertilisers. This is because they’re naturally fermented with beneficial microbes, which help maintain a healthy balance during processing and prevent the product from going bad. You might be interested in our article; How To Reduce Farm Odours With Beneficial Microbes.
How does SONIC Natural Farming differ from other fertiliser companies?
SONIC Natural Farming sets itself apart with three flagship products, made to order and delivered fresh to ensure maximum potency. Unlike bulk producers, we prioritise bioavailability by shipping directly to you within days of production. We offer farm-based biofertiliser production with our expert team, providing all materials and handling the process, or hands-on training to empower farmers to continue production independently, with ongoing support.
