AQUACULTURE MEETS AGRICULTURE
from this industry.
It may have all started as a happy coincidence when farmers observed that plants performed better when decomposing fish were left near them, but thanks to science and research, we now have a good understanding of how fish material positively affects crops and the soils that support them.
Sea2Soil revives a traditional farming method that time has forgotten, one which aligns with the path of regenerative farming.
Sea2Soil is the UK’s first fish hydrolysate approved as an organic soil improver. Containing a full range of naturally balanced amino acids, fatty acids and an array of marco and micro nutrients.
Sea2Soil is a high quality, cost effective soil improver for use in conventional and organic farming.
Benefits include:
Enhancing soil biology, promoting beneficial microorganisms and earthworms.
Creation of a biologically active soil which has the ability to retain moisture, release nutrients and increase nutrient availability to the plants.
Promoting better root growth and structure.
A highly rich source of essential amino acids for plant growth.
Providing nutrients in a bioavailable form, feeding both the plant and the soil.
Aiding natural resistance to fungal, bacterial and viral pathogens in growing plants.
Helping to rebalance the soil biology, creating a healthier soil and a more productive plant.
Easily incorporated into all farming systems.
Sea2Soil is truly organic and has Soil Association Approval.

When to use Sea2Soil
Direct to soil
Common Application Method:
Fertilizer streamers, direct to soil
Applications Rates:
Sea2Soil can be applied (after dilution) to the soil, as a foliar spray or in an irrigation system. We recommend application rates of:
Foliar applicant - 4-10L per hectare applied 3-6 times a year
Direct soil applicant – 10-20L per hectare
Seek advice from your agronomist before using and applying Sea2Soil and for use in organic production.
Direct to soil
Common Application Method:
Drill mounted liquid fertilizer applicant at establishment
Foliar
Common Application Method: Standard crop sprayer
Important Information
Sea2Soil cannot be applied to any edible part of the plant. If applied to grass a withdrawal period of 21days is required before grazing animals are turned out onto the pasture. Before use, complete a jar test for compatibility and test on a small area first. When mixed with herbicides the fish oil in this product serves as a natural surfactant when foliar spraying.

Primary Consumers
Sea2Soil is a rich energy source for beneficial fungi, which perform important functions in the soil, such as nutrient cycling, disease suppression, water dynamics and carbon sequestration. Sea2soil provides key nutrients, increasing populations of healthy soil bacteria which play an important role in improving soil structure and fertility.
Praise for Sea2Soil
“Harnessing fish hydrolysate, full of nitrogen and other nutrients, almost sounded too good to be true. Sea2Soil has now been tested on my farms, and the results reflected exactly what I expected to see - an uplift in plant and soil health. The market for it is growing, the demand is absolutely there, and Sea2Soil is answering the call.”
RegenBen (Ben Taylor-Davies)
Widely-Acclaimed Agronomist & Farmer
“Sea2Soil now make the base for all my crop nutrition. I use it on all my combinable crops, herbal lays and establishment of cover crops. I have seen the positive effects of Sea2Soil. The dry conditions of 2022 presented many challenges to my crops. After applying 10l/Ha when spraying in May and June the crops saw good growth, increased canopy cover and less stress, allowing my crops to achieve optimal growth throughout this period of drought. Leading to much higher yield than the national average.”
