Squid Juice sustainably sourced from calamari processing, is an all- purpose liquid fertilizer that can be used in organic or traditional farming. It can be applied as a foliar or directly into soil, generally about 4 – 8 litres per application. The product is screened through a 149-micron screen for use in drip irrigation.
What is in it?
- 2-2-2 NPK and micronutrients, including copper, calcium, magnesium,
and more - Biostimulant B-Chitin (water-soluble/readily available form of chitin)
- Amino acids, fats, lipids, proteins, microbes
Soil Health
- Promotes beneficial soil fungi/microbes
- Increased nutrient retention/availability
- Promotes soil microbial growth/beneficial plant-microbe interactions
- Improved soil structure and quality
- Promotes chelation
- Boots soil nutrition, health, and crop yield
Crop
- Increased plant growth and defence
- Anti-fungal and pest deterrent properties
- Promotes vegetative growth, overall yield, and vigour
- Increase crop quality (brix, colour, flavinoids and terpenes)
- Increases plant stress tolerance
Why Squid Fertilizer?
Squid fertilizer’s combination of chitin, amino acids, micro and macro nutrients are essential building blocks to soil nutrition, health and crop yield.
Amino Acids
Squid Fertilizer has numerous positive impacts on soil health. It contains amino acids, the building blocks of protein and are an excellent natural source of nitrogen. Amino acids are water soluble and easily mixed into injectors, sprayers, and irrigation systems. Amino acids increase plant stress tolerance, promote beneficial soil fungi and microbes and provide excellent chelating action.
Studies show that fertilization with amino acids compared to conventional synthetic fertilizers resulted in greater crop growth and photosynthetic rates.
Chelation
Through chelation, amino acids allow plants to better utilize existing soil nutrition to make optimal use of the copper, zinc, magnesium, iron, boron, and other micro nutrients contained in Squid Fertilizer. The core components of Squid Fertilizer including chitin, amino acids & proteins, as well as natural fats & lipids all improve soil quality & promote microbial growth. Beneficial microbes and fungi improve soil structure by making soil more porous which improves nutrient retention and availability. The result is enhanced plant growth.
