Fish Emulsion fertilizer

  • Fish emulsion is a fertilizer emulsion that is produced from the fluid remains of fish processed for fish oil and fish meal industrially.
  • Since fish emulsion is naturally derived, it is considered an organic fertilizer appropriate for use in organic horticulture. 
  • In addition to having a typical N-P-K analysis of 5-2-2, fish emulsion adds micro-nutrients.
  • Fish emulsion is a high nitrogen fertilizer that will stimulate high leaf growth.
  • Fish emulsion is appropriate for many uses in the garden, but is especially useful as a lawn fertilizer in early spring and to feed leafy green vegetables, due to its higher nitrogen content. 
  • The NPK ratio for fish emulsion is generally 5-3-3. 
  • Fish emulsion is a concentrate, which you dilute with water and apply to your lawn or garden. 
  • It can have a strong fishy odor, but deodorized fish emulsion is commonly available as well.
