ZENFON MICROBIAL FERTILIZERS

Zenfon Microbial Fertilizers

Zenfon Microbial fertilizers using fish resources are made from various types of fish waste and dead fish biomass. These materials are rich in nitrogen, phosphorus, calcium, and essential amino acids, which promote healthy soil and plant growth. 

 

The specific natural dead fish resources utilized include:

• Finfish processing waste: This is a major source and includes by-products like fish heads, bones, scales, skin, viscera (guts), and muscle trimmings from commercial processing plants.
• Aquaculture mortalities: Dead fish from aquaculture farms that die naturally or during sorting can be repurposed instead of being discarded. This also includes fish sludge, which is a mix of fish faeces, uneaten feed, and dead biomass from fish tanks or ponds.
• Non-commercial fish: Small fish species with low or no market demand, such as sardines or anchovies, can be harvested and used solely for fertilizer production.
• Seafood by-products: This can also extend to shells from crustaceans (shrimp, crab, lobster) and molluscs (oysters, clams), which are a valuable source of calcium carbonate and chitin. 

 

Zenfon Biochar Fertilizers

"Turning Waste Into Soil Wealth" - Zenfon Biochar Fertilizers come from various organic waste materials (biomass), like crop residues (empty fruit bunches, corn stalks, rice husks, sugarcane bagasse), food waste, and wood, transformed through heating (pyrolysis) to create a carbon-rich, porous solid that improves soil fertility and nutrient retention. Essentially, it's a sustainable way to recycle organic matter into a valuable soil amendment and slow-release nutrient source, reducing landfill waste and reliance on synthetic fertilizers. 

In Raub, Selangor, Empty Fruit Bunches (EFB) from the palm oil industry serve as a primary biomass resource for Zenfon Biochar Fertilizers, embodying the principle of “Turning Waste Into Soil Wealth.” Abundant and locally available, EFB provides a consistent feedstock that, through pyrolysis, is transformed into carbon-rich biochar with exceptional soil-enhancing properties. By converting this agricultural residue into a valuable soil amendment, Zenfon not only reduces landfill burden and reliance on synthetic fertilizers but also closes the loop in the sustainable food cycle—returning nutrients to the land, improving fertility, and supporting long-term agricultural resilience in the region.
