Unlocking the power of amino acids and soil health with Joel Williams and Sea2Soil at Groundswell 2025

Drawing a crowd hungry for practical, science-backed strategies, Joel delivered a compelling presentation on why these “building blocks of life” are rapidly becoming a must‑have tool in every farmer’s kit.

Last year's session recording

Catch up on Joel Williams’ talk on the Sea2Soil stand at Groundswell 2024.

Take some time out to catch up on Joel’s 2024 talk, as we run through the highlights and get you ready for his 2025 sessions:

Amino acids and nitrogen efficiency: Amino acids are organic forms of nitrogen that plants can absorb and utilise almost instantly. Unlike traditional synthetic fertilisers, they bypass many energy‑intensive conversion steps, boosting nitrogen use efficiency and reducing waste.
Sea2Soil Fish Hydrolysate - a natural choice: Sea2Soil’s premium fish hydrolysate is rich in free amino acids and peptides. Joel explained how it's unique composition:
- Stimulates soil microbes, enhancing nutrient cycling
- Supports root growth, leading to stronger, more resilient plants
- Improves overall plant health, often translating into higher yields

Practical application tips

During his 2024 talk, Joel talked all about how important application timings are when it comes to using soil improvers.

Integration: Seamlessly combining Sea2Soil with cover crops, reduced‑till practices, and organic amendments for a holistic regenerative approach.

Timing: Applying at key growth stages (e.g., pre‑flowering, early vegetative) maximises uptake.

Rates and methods: Joel shared insights from on‑farm trials, demonstrating how foliar sprays and root‑zone applications can be tailored to different crops.

Real‑world Success Stories

Joel also showcased results from partner farms that displayed:

Higher protein content in cereals
Improved soil structure and organic matter levels
Reduced synthetic nitrogen inputs by up to 30% without yield penalties

Interactive Q&A

Farmers probed Joel on topics ranging from application logistics to pairing amino acids with biostimulants. His straight‑talking, evidence‑driven answers helped demystify adoption barriers and sparked lively conversations long after the formal session ended.
