EM-1®: Unleash the Power of Nature in Your Soil with Environmental and Animal Health Benefits

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.

Key Benefits:

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

Pathogen Suppression: EM-1® acts as a natural defense, 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.

Environmental Benefits:

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

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 fertilizers, contributing to a healthier ecosystem and minimizing chemical runoff into water bodies.

Animal Health Benefits:

Nutrient-Rich Forage: EM-1® contributes to the creation of nutrient-rich soil, enhancing the quality of forage for livestock.

Digestive Health: When added to animal feed, EM-1® supports digestive health in livestock, promoting better nutrient absorption.

Reduced Odors: EM-1® application in animal bedding and waste management helps control odors, creating a more comfortable environment for animals and caretakers.

Certified Organic:

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

Dormant Product Activation: EM-1® is a dormant product, requiring activation to unleash its full potential. The activation process involves combining EM-1® with additional ingredients to create EM-A (Actiferm). This activated solution serves as a powerful microbial inoculant, amplifying the beneficial effects of EM-1® for soil, plant, and animal health.

Exception for Septic Tanks: The only exception to activation is when using EM-1® in septic tanks. Unactivated EM-1® can be directly applied to septic systems, providing effective microbial support for waste decomposition.
