Down to Earth Fish Powder 12-1-1 | 5lb - (Case of 5)

Hydrolyzed Fish Protein Fertilizer for Rapid Nitrogen Delivery and Plant Growth (5lb)

Down to Earth Fish Powder 12-1-1 is a solution-grade, high-nitrogen fertilizer derived from enzymatically hydrolyzed and spray-dried fish protein. Providing organic nitrogen, amino acids, and minerals, it promotes rapid plant growth and can be used to correct nitrogen deficiency in all plant types including vegetables, flowers, trees, shrubs, vines, and turf grass. More concentrated and economical than liquid fish fertilizers, it can be applied as a soil drench, foliar spray, or run through drip irrigation, fertigation, and sprinkler systems.

The 5lb size (Case of 5) suits growers with larger vegetable plantings, greenhouse operations, or irrigation systems who apply fish powder regularly as part of a comprehensive fertilization program.

Key Features & Benefits

• Solution-Grade Formula — Ultra-fine, soluble powder suited for dissolving in water and applying through irrigation and fertigation systems.
• Enzymatic Hydrolyzation — Fish protein is enzymatically hydrolyzed and spray-dried for high-quality, plant-available organic nitrogen.
• Provides Amino Acids and Minerals — Delivers organic nitrogen alongside amino acids and minerals from fish protein.
• Versatile Application Methods — Can be applied as a soil drench, foliar spray, or through drip irrigation, fertigation, and sprinkler systems.
• More Concentrated Than Liquid Fish — Higher nitrogen content and more economical per unit of nitrogen than liquid fish fertilizers.

Who Should Use Down to Earth Fish Powder 12-1-1

Fish Powder 12-1-1 suits growers who want a soluble, high-nitrogen fish fertilizer compatible with irrigation and fertigation systems. It is particularly valuable for those who use drip irrigation or spray systems and want to apply fish-derived nitrogen throughout the growing season without the handling challenges of liquid fish fertilizers.

Application Methods and System Compatibility

Fish Powder 12-1-1 can be dissolved in water and applied as a soil drench around plant bases, as a foliar spray when nitrogen is needed quickly at the leaf level, or filtered and run through most drip irrigation, fertigation, and sprinkler systems. When applying through irrigation systems, filter the solution adequately to prevent clogging of emitters. It can be combined with seaweed powder, biological inoculants, or other soluble nutrients as part of a comprehensive fertilization program.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Fish Powder 12-1-1 different from liquid fish fertilizers?

Fish Powder 12-1-1 is more concentrated than most liquid fish fertilizers, delivering more nitrogen per unit of product. As a dry powder, it is also lighter and easier to store and ship than liquid fertilizers, while providing plant-available organic nitrogen and amino acids.

Can Fish Powder 12-1-1 be used through drip irrigation?

Yes. It can be dissolved and filtered, then run through most drip irrigation, fertigation, and sprinkler systems. Adequate filtration is recommended to prevent clogging of emitters.

What plant types can Fish Powder 12-1-1 be used for?

It can be used for all plant types including vegetables, flowers, trees, shrubs, vines, and turf grass. It is suited for any situation where nitrogen supplementation or nitrogen deficiency correction is needed.

Can Fish Powder 12-1-1 be used as a foliar spray?

Yes. It can be dissolved in water and applied as a foliar spray, delivering nitrogen directly to plant leaves for a rapid growth response when nitrogen is needed quickly.

What does enzymatically hydrolyzed mean for Fish Powder?

Enzymatic hydrolyzation breaks down fish protein into smaller, more readily available forms using enzymes rather than heat or harsh chemicals. This preserves the amino acid profile and produces a high-quality, plant-available organic nitrogen source.
