Sesbania Seeds for Aquaculture – Natural Fish Pond Fertilizer

Overview

Sesbania is increasingly used in integrated aquaculture systems as a natural pond fertilizer. When grown on pond embankments or applied as cut biomass to fish ponds, sesbania provides slow-release nitrogen that promotes phytoplankton growth — the base of the aquatic food chain.

Details

In polyculture systems across Southeast Asia, sesbania biomass application to fish ponds has been shown to increase fish yields by 20-35% compared to unfertilized controls. The decomposing organic matter also supports populations of zooplankton and benthic organisms that are directly consumed by bottom-feeding fish species.

Why Choose Us

For aquaculture applications, we recommend using fresh-cut sesbania biomass at rates of 5-10 tons per hectare of pond surface area, applied in split doses throughout the growing season. Contact us for technical guidance on integrating sesbania into your aquaculture operations.
