EM-1® is not merely a soil conditioner; it stands as a revolutionary concentrate, embodying a blend of 83 beneficial microbes known as Effective Microorganisms® (EM®). Conceived by Agricultural Professor Dr. Teruo Higa in the 1980s, EM-1® represents a culmination of extensive research aimed at identifying the most effective microbes working harmoniously to create an optimal environment for health, productivity, and environmental sustainability.

 

Nutrient Boost: The diverse array of microbes, including photosynthesising bacteria, lactic acid bacteria, yeasts, and more, significantly increases nutrient availability in the soil.

 

Pathogen Suppression: EM-1® acts as a natural defence, suppressing harmful pathogens that can cause diseases in plants.

 

Enhanced Plant Growth: By breaking down organic matter in the soil, EM-1® transforms it into nourishment for plants, promoting robust growth and improved yields.

 

Sustainable Farming: EM-1® supports sustainable agricultural practices by enhancing soil fertility and reducing the reliance on synthetic fertilisers.

 

Water Conservation: Improved soil structure facilitated by EM-1® reduces water runoff, aiding in water conservation and mitigating environmental impact.

 

Reduced Chemical Dependency: EM-1® diminishes the need for chemical pesticides and fertilisers, contributing to a healthier ecosystem and minimising chemical runoff into water bodies.

 

Certified Organic:EM-1® is certified Organic by OF&G, ensuring its adherence to the highest standards in organic agriculture.
