Those who have been looking around the fertilizer market for long enough will have heard of this particular type of fertilizer that is commonly known as fish emulsion fertilizers. The thing is that not everyone has a decent idea of what exactly it is. To be fair there are a lot of ways of describing it. One can call it a mild fertilizer; one can call it a fast decaying organic fertilizer or could just call it the desert gardeners dream. Let us then delve into a more detailed understanding of what the fertilizer in question truly is and what it is made of. The first thing that you must realize is that any organic fertilizer takes a long time to take effect because the process of nutrient dispersion into the soil is a matter of decay of the organic matter. The longer it takes to decompose, the more time it takes for the fertilization to occur. It is here that fish emulsion fertilizers work faster in the process of decomposition of the organic medium. As the name suggests the fish emulsions extracted from the aquatic life of a certain kind comprise the basic element of such fertilizers. Although in theory it can be any fish that it is derived from, there is a preference towards menhaden. Fish Emulsion Fertilizers are not very saline in soil and cause the balance in pH levels in soils that help plant growth. It is acidic in nature. Due to its non salinity, salt sensitive plants can receive the appropriate nutrients without much trouble. However it is also a fact that this particular type of fertilizer is also mild in nature. The most irritating thing about this type of fertilizer is that it is quite odorous and the odor is of the pleasant variety although the odor diminishes on dilution.
