WHAT IS EM?

EM = EFFECTIVE MICROORGANISMS Is produced through a natural process of

fermentation Is a combination of beneficial naturally occurring

microorganisms Is a liquid concentrate Produced from cultivations of over 80 varieties of

microorganisms Most outstanding feature is it includes anaerobic

and aerobic species of microorganisms coexisting in a most beneficially productive manner

Not chemically synthesized or genetically engineered

Contains microorganisms from 3 main groups -

Page 5: EM - Effective Microbes

PHOTOSYNTHETIC BACTERIA

Independent, self supporting microbes Produces useful substances from organic

matter, secretion of roots and harmful gasses

Develop amino acids, nucleic acids, bioactive substances and sugars.

Absorbed directly by the plant promoting plant growth and development

Increases the population of native beneficial bacteria.

Page 6: EM - Effective Microbes

LACTIC ACID BACTERIA

Develop Lactic Acid from sugars and other carbohydrates developed by Photosynthetic Bacteria and Yeast.

Lactic Acid is a strong sterilizing compound which suppresses harmful microorganisms and enhances the decomposition of resistant materials (cellulose etc.)

Removes undesirable effects of decomposition

Page 7: EM - Effective Microbes

YEAST

Utilise amino acids and sugars produced by Photosynthetic bacteria, organic matter and plant roots

Produces hormones and enzymes Are useful substrates for other Effective

Microorganisms – Lactic Acid Bacteria and Actinomycete.

IS EM SAFE?

EM is a combination of certain naturally existing, beneficial, aerobic and anaerobic, nontoxic and non-pathogenic microorganisms.

The microorganisms specifically used are not genetically modified or engineered. The potential of the naturally existing microbes and their coexistence abilities were "discovered“

The microorganisms in EM are considered food-grade. All microbes used for EM production are known not to be harmful to the soil, air, groundwater, land, animals or humans

EM products are BFA registered. Lactobacilli and photosynthetic bacteria are important

components in the EM formula, belonging to the anaerobic group. They are now recognised as being effective in the control of diseases.

EM is a living entity containing active microbes found in all ecosystems

EM MIXED CULTURES vs. SINGLE CULTURES

Previous efforts to introduce single cultures of microorganisms have been largely unsuccessful – They are immediately subject to competitive and aggressive effects of indigenous soil micro flora and their numbers soon decline.

A mixed culture of physiologically and ecologically compatible soil microorganisms (EM) enhances the predominance of beneficial and effective microorganisms improving and maintaining the chemical and physical properties of soils, therefore shifting the microbial equilibrium of a soil and controlling it to favour the growth, yield and health of crops.

EM IN AGRICULTURE Shifts the “microbial equilibrium” to favour growth, yield and health of

plants/crops Functions of Beneficial Microorganisms in soil Fixation of atmospheric nitrogen Enhance decomposition of organic wastes and residues Suppresses soil-borne pathogens Recycles and increases availability of plant nutrients Reduces the concentration of toxins including pesticides Production of antibiotics and other bioactive compounds Production of amino acids, nucleic acids, varieties of vitamins and hormones

to plants Complexation of heavy metals to limit plant uptake Solubilisation of insoluble nutrient sources Production of polysaccharides to improve soil aggregation Enhances photosynthetic capacity of crops Promotes germination, flowering and fruiting Increases the effectiveness of fertilisers.

EM IN AGRICULTURE

Effectively used in soil and foliar applications for; Regular crops Vegetables Fruits Turf Farming Hydroponics

Page 13: EM - Effective Microbes

EM IN WATER

Is a biological tool to minimise and diminish concentrations of pollutants through bioremediation

Controls the propagation of harmful microbes Reduces organic matter to a soluble state,

readily consumed by bacteria. Breaks down and decomposes chemical

substances Produce large quantities and varieties of

organic and inorganic acids and anti-oxidising enzymes

Cont…..

Page 14: EM - Effective Microbes

Utilizes and consumes harmful gasses (methane, hydrogen sulphide, ammonia) therefore eliminating odour – foul smelling water

Reduces the breeding of flies and mosquitoes Used effectively in Waste Water Treatment Plants, Sewer

Systems, Septic Systems, Holding Tanks, Lagoons, Pond Systems etc.

EM IN ANIMAL HEALTH

The application of EM to stockfeed & drinking water; Enriches it with beneficial substances such as amino acids, vitamins

and enzymes Betters the digestibility and nutrient absorption of the animal Naturally balances the intestinal micro flora resulting in improved

health, eating habits, improved feed conversion rates & weight gain Improves overall shed environment and provides a better working

atmosphere for staff. Effectively used in; Dairy and beef cattle Horses (all disciplines) Sheep and lambs Pets

CARROT SEED TRIAL

Crop - Umbelliferae – Carrot Farming type – Conventional Growing Season - February 2010 - March 2011 The Application of EM – 1ST Application - 3 weeks prior to planting (Mid

February) EM was applied to the soil with a boom spray at a rate of 10L per hectare mixed with 300L water prior to soil preparation (cultivation).

2nd Application - 3 months (mid May) after the initial application, EM was applied at 10L per hectare through a fertigation system.
