Biological Fertiliser Uses for Graziers and Pastoralists
Regenerative grazing practices have gained significant attention from graziers and pastoralists in recent years, due to its potential to improve soil fertility in order to enhance the nutrient density of grazing pastures.
Nutrient Dense Pastures
Building biology in the soil has several benefits for pasture production. Biological Fertilisers can improve soil structure, water-holding capacity, and nutrient availability. This supports the growth of diverse and resilient pasture plants, which in turn provide high-quality forage for grazing livestock.
By working in harmony with natural processes, graziers can build soil fertility and pasture resilience for generations to come
Graziers and pastoralists who focus on building soil biology often see increases in pasture productivity and reductions in the need for synthetic fertilisers.
Strong Plant Growth and Resilience
Biologically active soils are better able to cycle nutrients, suppress plant pests and diseases, and withstand the impacts of drought and extreme weather.
A healthy and diverse underground ecosystem promotes natural disease suppression mechanisms
Incorporating biological soil amendments into regenerative grazing systems can significantly improve both the quality and resilience of forage crops. Biological fertilisers, compost, vermicast, and microbial inoculants, can enhance soil health by increasing organic matter, improving nutrient cycling, and promoting the growth of beneficial microorganisms.

Enhanced Moisture Holding Capacity
Graziers and pastoralists are increasingly recognising the benefits of incorporating biological fertilisers, such as Liquid Fish and Liquid Seaweed, into their grazing management practices. These natural inputs can play a crucial role in improving the moisture holding capacity of pastures, a key factor in supporting resilient and productive grazing systems.
Liquid Fish and Liquid Seaweed are rich in a variety of beneficial nutrients and compounds that can enhance the overall health and vitality of grazing pastures
When applied to the soil, these biostimulants can help to improve soil structure, increase organic matter content, and promote the growth of beneficial microorganisms. This, in turn, can lead to enhanced water-holding capacity, allowing the pasture to better withstand periods of drought and maintain optimal moisture levels for plant growth.
By leveraging the power of these natural inputs, graziers and pastoralists can implement more regenerative practices that support the long-term sustainability of their grazing operations.
Investing in Liquid Fish and Liquid Seaweed can be a strategic step towards building more resilient and productive pasture systems that can better withstand the challenges posed by changing climatic conditions.
Stimulate Microbial Activity in your Soil
SONIC naturally cold fermented Biological Fertiliser delivers balanced organic minerals. Activated with beneficial microbes, these chelated ocean mineral concentrates stimulate beneficial microorganisms in the soil for long-term pasture improvement. Increased biological activity supports crop growth, nutrient density and overall plant resilience.
Safe for Grazing Animals – No Witholding Period Required
When applied to soil, Liquid Seaweed Kelp Biofertiliser stimulates soil bacteria. An increase in biological activity in the soil has many benefits including increased soil fertility, strong growth in plants, and natural plant immunity.

Liquid Seaweed Benefits for Pasture Improvement
Liquid Seaweed is rich in essential minerals such as nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and trace elements. These nutrients play a vital role in promoting plant growth and development.
Additionally, Liquid Seaweed contains natural plant hormones like auxins, cytokinins, and gibberellins that stimulate root growth, plant immunity, and nutrient density.
Liquid Fish Benefits for Pasture Improvement
Liquid Fish Fertiliser is made from fish discards from processing. It is a potent source of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, amino acids, enzymes, vitamins, and trace minerals.
Cold processed Biofertilisers deliver nutrients that are bio-available for plants to easily uptake. Liquid Fish not only provides essential nutrients but also enhances soil fertility by feeding beneficial microbes in the soil.
Balanced By Nature
Using a combination of Liquid Seaweed and Fish Biofertilisers offers several benefits.
Firstly, they provide a balanced nutrient profile necessary for healthy plant growth and fruit production. Secondly, these fertilisers improve soil structure by increasing microbial activity and organic matter content. This leads to better water retention capacity and nutrient availability for crops.
Moreover, the natural hormones present in both Liquid Seaweed and Liquid Fish Biofertiliser help regulate plant growth processes effectively. They promote root development for better nutrient uptake while stimulating flowering and fruiting stages for higher yield potential.
By incorporating Biological Fertilisers into your regenerative farming practices, you can reduce your reliance on synthetic fertilisers while simultaneously improving soil structure. This approach not only benefits crop productivity but also contributes to long-term sustainability.
One key benefit of using Liquid Seaweed Biofertiliser is its bio-available nutrient content. Seaweed is packed with essential minerals, including nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and trace elements such as iron, zinc, and magnesium.
These nutrients are vital for healthy plant development and are readily absorbed by plants, as a biofertiliser, promoting robust root growth, improved flowering and fruiting, and overall plant vigor.
Alongside containing essential elements, Liquid Seaweed Biofertiliser also contains micronutrients such as iron, copper, zinc, molybdenum, boron, manganese and cobalt.
Plants use tiny amounts of the micronutrients, often measured in parts per million, which is why Liquid Seaweed Biofertiliser can be highly effective in delivering these micronutrients to crops.
Due to a variety of beneficial compounds such as cytokinins, auxins, gibberellins, and betaines, Liquid Seaweed Biofertiliser can positively impact photosynthesis by stimulating the growth of chlorophyll pigments responsible for capturing light. This results in increased absorption of sunlight and more efficient conversion of carbon dioxide into carbohydrates.
Liquid Fish Biofertiliser is high in organic nutrient content. It contains a balanced blend of macronutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, as well as micronutrients like calcium, magnesium, and iron. These nutrients are readily available to plants in a form that is easily absorbed through their roots.
One of the key benefits of using Liquid Fish Biofertiliser, hydrolysate, is its ability to promote the growth of soil fungi. Fungi play a crucial role in breaking down organic matter in the soil, releasing essential nutrients that are then made available to plants. By providing a food source for these fungi, Liquid Fish helps create an environment where they can thrive and perform their vital functions.
Furthermore, Liquid Fish Biofertiliser is an environmentally friendly option as it utilises discarded products from the fishing industry that would otherwise go to waste or be processed into low-value products. By recycling these byproducts into an effective fertiliser solution, we can reduce waste and promote sustainable practices in agriculture.
Supplementing animals with broad spectrum minerals can help stimulate metabolism and improve feed efficiency. Seaweed has also been shown to assist with daily weight gain and body condition for stock grazing on native and improved pastures.
100% natural Liquid Seaweed Probiotic Supplement is suitable for all farm animals, including cattle, sheep, horses, goats, alpacas, pigs, poultry, and pets. Use regularly or at times of the year when feed quality is poor, or there are higher demands on the animal such as calving, foaling, or lambing. Administer by adding to feed or water, or undiluted as a drench. It can also be used as an inoculant on hay, as a grain soak, or sprayed over pastures.
Liquid Seaweed Probiotic Feed Supplement is made from renewable resources of seaweed that are harvested without causing harm to marine ecosystems. Benefits for animals include improved nutrition, enhanced immune function, better digestibility and reduced stress levels.
