Superior Formulation

AGGRAND Natural Fertilizer (NOF) is formulated from fish emulsions from a single species of fish: the menhaden. Caught in the coastal waters of Virginia and the Gulf of Mexico, menhaden are not edible, but are commercially important for their high oil content.

The fish-hydrolysate process is cold, which allows the end-product to putrefy more rapidly and requires more acid for pH stabilization. Oftentimes, fish hydrolysate manufacturers add more phosphoric acid than necessary based on the desire to increase the phosphorus analysis rather than decreasing the pH to stabilize the product. Fish emulsions used in AGGRAND Natural Fertilizer contain only enough sulfuric acid to stabilize the product at pH 3.8- 4.0. The process is strictly controlled and monitored to ensure maximum quality.
