Who is Guano Organic Fertilizer
Guano Organic Fertilizer supplies certified organic Cormorant seabird guano products everywhere in South Africa. Guano is very rich in nitrogen, phosphate and potassium which are the key nutrients essential for plant growth. We are passionate about providing our clients with the best organic fertilizer so their crops can flourish and produce the best yields.
The well-balanced fish diet of the Cormorant seabirds that are harvested, dried, and prepared under a strict organic process, makes our 100% naturally sourced guano globally recognized as the finest organically balanced plants fertilizer available.
Why Guano
Guano is the excrement (faeces and urine) of seabirds. It is an excellent source of natural fertilizer due to its high concentration of nitrogen, phosphate, and potassium. What’s more, it doesn’t smell. Also, guano usually contains all the other elements a plant needs for growth like sulphur, calcium, magnesium, chloride, boron, molybdenum iron, manganese, zinc, and copper. While chemical fertilizer can actually damage crop soil over time, this organic manure can help to regenerate the soil. If soil is deficient in organic matter, guano can make it more productive and add all the organic nutrients needed in the soil.
In South Africa, we collect guano from the Cormorant seabirds that feed mostly on fish as well as small amphibians and crustaceans providing the excellent quality of guano. At Guano Organic Fertilizer, the birds’ organic manure is sustainably gathered by scraping. We adhere to strict production processes and do not add any chemicals to the guano we collect, ensuring the integrity of the natural fertilizer.

Success Stories
Have a look at what some of our happy clients have to say. Follow the link below to read more about our case studies.
Hennie Barnard het sojas geplant en gras binne in doodgespuit met roundtop. Die kleur van die soja boontjies het goed gelyk maar die knoppie vorming op die wortels was nie goed nie. Toe die soja bone begin groei het die kleur na geel verander as gevolg van die feit dat hulle nie stikstof knoppies het nie. Die knoppies op die wortels trek stikstof uit die lug uit en voer die plant met stikstof.
Hy het eenkeer stikstof gegooi soos nodig en verder het hy 25l Guano uitgespuit met Verte Guano en daarmee saam Fulvic Suur. Hy het die kleur toe terug gekry. Hy het toe weer n bespuiting gedoen met 25l Verte Guano met 5l Fulvic Suur.
Ons doen al vir die afgelope 8 jaar proewe met Verte Guano en ander produkte soos Fulvic Suur en humic suur op verskillende gewasse. Van die gewasse sluit in: soja boontjies, mielies, Sorghum en korring. Die uitkoms van dit is dat die gewig toename tussen 5 en 6% is, die smaak van die groen mielie verbeter en die brix inhoud verbeter wat beteken dat die hoeveelheid siektes wat jou plante kry verminder drasties. Dit gee ook groter soja boontjie pitte wat dan ‘n groter oes gee.
