SONIC Natural Farming uses a biological fermentation process to make Fish Hydrolysate Fertiliser, which helps to retain the nutritional value, and beneficial properties of fish in a bio-available state, 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 Liquid Fish Hydrolysate Fertiliser contains no added fillers, stabilisers, preservatives or synthetic minerals.

Fish Hydrolysate and Fish Emulsion Differences

Fish hydrolysate fertiliser and fish emulsion fertiliser are two different forms of fish-based fertilisers that are commonly used in gardening and agriculture. While both products are derived from fish, there are some key differences between them.

SONIC Fish Hydrolysate is a liquid fertiliser made by breaking down whole fish or fish parts into liquid using a cold fermentation process. This 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 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 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.
