EM (Effective Micro-Organisms) uses in Agriculture
EM in Agriculture:
The application of EM will improve soil and irrigation water. EM can be used as a seed treatment. EM can be used to make organic sprays for the enhancement of photosynthesis and control of insects, pests and diseases.
EM Technology helps to:
- Reclaim and improve salt affected lands, improve soil structure and its related properties, improve germination of seeds, growth of crops, enhance photosynthesis, control weeds, control insects and disease as well as increasing yields.
- Remove various problems relating to horticulture (gardens or orchards) to increase fruit production and its quality.
- Enhance the quality of all types of farmyard manures i.e. Animal manure, poultry manure, solid waste, litter, kitchen waste, green leaves, grass etc which when converted into compost, the application increases the microbial population in the root zone of plants.
- Accelerates the decomposition of organic matter applied to the land, availability of nutrients to crops and control of insects, pests and diseases.
- Minimize the salinity hazard of groundwater used for irrigation purposes.
- Conduct sustainable organic farming comparable to farming with synthetic fertilizers.
EM in Vegetable production
Using EM Technology can
- Improve the texture, quality and nutritional value of all vegetables.
- Increase the microbial population, accelerating the decomposition of organic matter in the soil and improve the nutrient uptake by vegetables.
- Increase crop yield.
EM in Gardens and Orchards
Fruits are a rich source of vitamins and minerals, but insecticide sprays can be dangerous for human health as the insecticide (poison) accumulates in the uppermost fruit layer. EM Technology has made it possible to grow fruits without insecticides. EM sprays help to control attack of insects, pests and diseases.
The application of EM in various forms helps to:
- Increase microbial population, accelerate decomposition of organic matter and unlock nutrients, improving and maintaining the porosity of the soil under the canopy of fruit trees.
- Control insects, pests and diseases
- Enhance photosynthesis
- Increase fruit yield and its quality
- Carry out sustainable and profitable horticulture
EM in Parks and Lawns
The application of EM products and EM composted organic matter helps to:
- Balance soil PH
- Maintain the soil fertility
- Increase microbial population
- Improve the growth of grasses
EM in Animal husbandry
Rearing of animals is always accompanied with foul odours; storage of liquid and solid waste, their handling and management can be a problem to farmers.
The application of EM helps to:
- Eliminate foul odours on livestock, poultry and stud farms
- Eliminate pathogens
- Eliminate flies and mosquitoes
- Clean the environment
- Provide better working atmosphere to the workforce
- Create interest in handling of EM composted material, its transport and application in the field
- Improve digestive system by feeding EM fermented dry feed and green food and offering EM mixed drinking water
- Improve overall shed environment and reduce / eliminate infections and disease when sprayed at regular intervals.
- Improve milk and egg yield
- Improve meat quality in livestock, poultry and fisheries
- Reduce infant mortality
