Effective Microorganisms (EM) are mixed cultures of beneficial naturally occurring organisms that can be applied as inoculants to increase the microbial diversity of soil ecosystem.

EM
Why Do I use EM in my Farm

  1. EM helps to accelerate the process of compost making and can also be used in place of compost.

  2. It also neutralizes the ammonia in poultry deification so that it doesn't smell bad.

  3. The products derived from EM are of great importance in crop production and Animal husbandry. As they can be used as Disinfectant, Control of pest and diseases, Enhance plant growth and development of fruits, Fertilizing ponds in fish production and so on

There are 3 different components;

  1. lactic acid bacteria
    Function: to stop the development of bad bacteria and help in the good decomposition of organic matters.
  2. Photosynthetic bacteria
    Function: It supplies nutrient due to the sun and the heat from the soil
  3. Actinomycetes
    Function: It produces nutrients which fights against microbes which is important for the fast growth of the plant.

Derived products of EM
We have 6 derived products of EM.
Out of the 6, we have 4 liguids;

  1. EMAS
  2. EM5
  3. EMFE
  4. EMFPE

And we have 2 solids;
