Q&A: Fish Emulsion Info L

Question: What can you tell me about fish emulsion fertilizer?

Answer: In the manufacture of fish emulsion, the by-products of cleaned fish, such as the heads, guts and bones, are cooked at temperatures in excess of 180F to kill most of the bacteria. The resulting product is filtered and stabilized. Fish emulsion usually contains 3 to 6 percent nitrogen, 1 to 3 percent phosphorous, and 1 to 2 percent potassium, plus a range of other nutrients.
