Exactly how does FISH FERTILISER work (how is it taken up, where does it act in the plant)?

A. Vitec fish works in 4 ways.

1. Applied to the soil the pure protein component complete with all minerals and trace elements stimulates the organic life of the soil. Fungi, Bacteria, Earthworms etc combine to release locked – up nutrients from organic material and from soil minerals. Nutrients released this way are not forced on the plant as is the case with soluble chemical fertilisers. Vitec fish feeds the soil organisms in a particularly health way.

 

2. Applied to plant foliage the nutrients and organic stimulants are drawn  into the plant and translocated to the roots. This boost of nutrition stimulates the roots to exude more sugars. These sugars in turn stimulate adjacent actinomycetes and other organisms to increase the release of plant available nutrients from organic and mineral fractions of the soil.

 

3.Fish applied to the foliage also encourages a “Bloom” of harmless bacteria on the surface of the foliage. Many of these bacteria actively suppress the establishment of fungi such as the mildews.

 

4. By encouraging natural unforced growth Vitec fish will assist raising sugar levels and preventing excessive nitrogen levels in produce – two of the most critical factors in natural pest resistance and improved shelf life.
