What is "Neptune's Harvest Fish hydrolysate?
Neptune's Harvest fish hydrolysate is an all organic, highly nutritional protein fertilizer, made utilizing naturally occurring enzymes present in fresh North Atlantic fish. It's produce using a cold process employing enzymes (natural biological catalysts) which break down fish, or fish frames (the part left after the fillet is removed for human consumption)
to simpler protein complexes. This process is called Hydrolysis.
No synthetic materials are mixed into the fish hydrolysate, and the only manipulation the product undergoes is grinding and hydrolysis. This process yields a stable, non-odorous, liquid fertilizer that is an easy to use, safe product. The nitrogen in Neptune's Harvest fish fertilizer is derived from fish protein in the form of amino acids which when added to the soil, slowly break down into basic nitrogen compounds. While a percentage of nitrogen becomes soluble due to the nature of the manufacturing process, no inorganic nitrogen has been added.
In the past, there have been advantages in using manufactured chemical fertilizers, however as we now realize, this has been at the expense of the environment and depletion of many soil elements.
The continued application of only concentrated chemicals on the soil have reduced much of the biological life that contributes to the efficient utilization of many plant nutrients.
Neptune's Harvest hydrolyzed fish does no biological damage to the soil and will promote the growth of beneficial bacteria making the soil less compact and better able to drain, yet hold moisture better for future plant use as it is needed. With our cold process, the vitamins, amino acids, enzymes, and growth hormones are not damaged or destroyed. Because no oils or proteins are removed, the nutrients remain in the soil longer, and lower N-P-K rates
can be used to meet or exceed the results obtained by chemicals with much higher rates. Some advantages to using hydrolyzed fish fertilizer are that it rebuilds soil, gives excellent plant growth with increased yields, and is made from a renewable aquatic resource. This hydrolysate fertilizer is filtered through an 80 mesh screen as a first step, and then through a 200 micron screen before it is packaged. This ensures an ease of application with most irrigation sprayer systems that is second to none.

Neptune's Harvest FISH
2-4-1
Neptune's Harvest fish is an organic fertilizer made from fresh North Atlantic fish. It is made by a unique cold process that protects the vitamins, amino acids, enzymes and growth
hormones. It also contains all the micro and macro nutrients naturally found in fish. The nitrogen and other nutrients are chelated, so they are readily available for plants consumption. Unlike fish emulsions, Neptune's Harvest retains the fish proteins and oils and has no unpleasant odor. University studies have shown Neptune's Harvest to outperform chemical fertilizers.

Neptune's Harvest Seaweed Plant Food is an organic storehouse of over 60 naturally occurring major and minor nutrients and amino acids. It's growth promoting substances (Auxims, Cytokinins, Gibberellins) enhance plant development, color and vigor. Seaweed has also been found to increase plant hardiness and resistance to adverse environmental conditions, such as early frost, extreme heat and lack of moisture. Used as a seed inoculant, seaweed fertilizer increases and accelerates germination, and enhances the rapid development of a healthy root system. Seaweed is an excellent addition to any fertilization program.

**Commercial applications may require more or less, depending upon results of a soil test or preference.
i.e. For hay crops and turf , general application rates are, 5 gallons/100 gallons water and spray 20 gallons of mix per acre. you can mix as much as 1 gallon to 5 gallons of water if you have very poor soil and need the extra fertilizer. the application of 20 gallon of mix per acre remains the same however.
|
|
|
For smaller areas of turf, the ratio works out to about 3 oz/gallon to cover approximately 1,000ft2
1 oz/gallon is recommended for house plants. Apply every three weeks or as necessary.

Neptune's Uses several species of fish
Neptune's Harvest is made from several species of edible North Atlantic Fish remains (the part that is left after the fillet is removed for human consumption). Several species are better, because each species has a different nutrients analysis profile, so you get a full range of nutrients, vitamins, amino acids, enzymes and growth hormones. We mix all the Hydrolyzed Fish in a 10,000-gallon mixing tank before it is pumped into holding tanks. This process ensures a very consistent product from day to day and year to year. The fish we use are caught a minimum of three miles from shore and usually much further, in the icy, clean waters of the North Atlantic.
Emulsions...
One type of fish (trash fish)
Emulsions are made from so-called "Trash Fish" (fish that Americans won't eat), usually Menhaden is used. Menhaden is caught in harbors and rivers on the coast and are exposed to coastal pollutants. Also, lake fish use could contain Mercury and PCB's.
Neptune's Harvest...
No offensive odor
Neptune's Harvest unloads fishing boats, cuts the fish, grinds the fish remains and stabilizes them all the same day, so there is no offensive odor. Fresh fish does not smell.
Emulsions ... Stink!
Neptune's Harvest...
Cold processed
Neptune's Harvest is cold processed all the way from start to finish. The fish is converted through the grinding process and by the naturally occurring enzymes that continually break down the fish into a liquid. These enzymes are still alive in our final product as well, so they are there to keep your soil alive. We then screen it to take out any remaining bone particles. Nothing else is removed from the product, and the only thing added is phosphoric acid to stabilize. It is more expensive than sulfuric or formic acid, but it is safer to use for our employees and yours and is something the plant needs anyway. This is why our phosphorus is higher than fish emulsions, on the analysis.
Emulsions... Cooked
Emulsions first remove the fish meal (protein) part of the fish and sell that for pet food. Then they remove oils from the fish for Codfish Liver Oil or related procedures. Whatever is left after these processes is then boiled down to a 50% solution and sold as a fertilizer. This process has two major problems. First, the steam they use to remove the meal from the fish frame comes from municipal water, which contains chlorine. When the product is boiled down to a 50% solution, the chlorine is doubled and can be as high as 14% in the final product. Second, no matter what anyone tells you, you cannot evaporate a liquid down to a 50% solution without the use of heat. Once heat is used, all the heat sensitive vitamins, amino acids, growth hormones and the enzymes are destroyed. Some companies add enzymes back into the product so they can call it a hydrolyzed process, but technically it is far from it, and is actually just a hydrolyzed emulsion. Note: Fish naturally contain approximately 2.3% Nitrogen, it must be boiled down (or evaporated). Therefore it has been heated, no matter what the salesperson may tell you, the heat sensitive components from the fish are gone. The only other possibility is that it has added Nitrogen from other sources.
Neptune's Harvest...
No oils removed
Neptune's Harvest is screened through an 80 mesh screen going into the holding tank and then a 200 micron screen going into the drums or 4500 gallon tanker truck. It is the consistency of chocolate milk and is very easy to apply.
Emulsions...
Oils removed
Emulsions are thick, having the consistency of molasses. They are hard to handle and notorious for clogging sprayers and getting stuck in holding tanks. Because they are so thick, farmers often can't pump it all from their tanks, especially toward the bottom.
