Lake and Pond Fertilizer
How Can Fertilizer Work For You
Fertilization is crucial to see the true potential in most fishing ponds. You get out what we put in. The carrying capacity of your lake or pond can be greatly increased with the application of fertilizer. When the nutrients in our pond and lake fertilizer are present, primary production can be increased as much as four times. This fertilization increases the phytoplankton bloom. Phytoplankton is the bottom of the food chain; it turns sunlight into calories using the nutrients from the fertilizer. From there, phytoplankton is consumed by zooplankton, which is consumed by small insects and fish. These small insects and fish are then consumed by forage fish, and they are, in turn, consumed by larger fish like bass and crappie.
The proper application of pond fertilizer is based on several factors. Let the professionals at ARC take care of the details for you. We currently offer a monthly fertilization program for our customers. Not all water bodies are prime candidates for a fertilization regime. In some cases, too much flow through or poor water chemistry will negate the positive effects of applying fertilizer.
Let ARC examine your aquatic resource to determine the feasibility of starting a fertilizer program. We can asses, apply, and monitor your ponds productivity for you.
Pond fertilizer will help to boost fish production in most ponds if alkalinity is up to par. The addition of ag lime may be necessary to see the benefit of pond fertilizer.
