Active EM

Immuno organic crop booster

Technical Specification:

Active Ingredient:

Culture of Micro organism 1 Million colony forming units per CC, 1 % lactic acid bacteria, Photosynthetic bacteria, and yeast Viable cells count— CFU minimum 1x106 Minimum Cells per MI. Contamination level .- No contamination at any dilution

Mode of Action

Effective micro organisms are also called as Probiotics. It is disease and pest resistance. Effective Microorganisms exist everywhere in nature. Therefore it will find difficult to maintain the ecological balance. There are friendly group of the microbial known as beneficial microorganisms and a non friendly group called pathogens that are harmful and capable of producing disease, decay and pollution. 

EM origin

In 1982 Dr.Higa at the University of Ruckus, Okinawa Japan, discovered a specific group of naturally occurring beneficial microorganisms with an amazing ability to revive, restore, and preserve. He named this group E.M. (Effective microorganisms).

Using EM to make an insect Repellent

This mix will make a non-toxic chemical free insect repellent. It can be used to prevent pest and disease problems in the garden. It acts by creating a barrier around the plant and protect the plant from insects. The mix can be enhanced by including properly chopped or mashed garlic, hot peppers or Aloe vera .

Mixing

Warm water (chlorine free): 300 ml
Molasses:    50 ml
Natural vinegar: 50 ml
Whiskey or ethyl alcohol: 50 ml
EM liquid concentrate: 50 ml
Select a suitable sized container for mixing, some plastic bottles with caps for storage and a funnel. Add the molasses to the warm water and stir till thoroughly mixed. Then add the vinegar, whiskey and EM concentrate. Pour the mix into the plastic bottles and add small quantities of chopped garlic etc. Seal as tightly as possible and leave in a warm dark place. Release any gas produced at least twice daily by releasing the cap. The EM is ready for use when the production of gas has stopped and the product has a sweet fruity smell. The mix can be stored in a dark cool place which has a uniform temperature for up to 3 months. If garlic extract has been used, filter this out before storage. Do not store in the refrigerator.
After application of Active EM on plants following benefits any one can see
1.Increases insect and pest resistance in the plants.
2.Reduce failure of crop due to pest damage.
3.Increase size of fruits
4.Reduce dropping of fruits.

Animal Feeds Supplement

The most common microorganisms used in Active EM (effective micro organisms or Probiotics) is beneficial for cattle feeds. It is typically feed in dairy cattle rations to alter rumen fermentation in an attempt to improve nutrient digestion, N utilization, reduce the risk of rumen acidosis and improve animal performance 'probiotics' as 'live microbial feed supplements that beneficially affect the host animal by improving its intestinal microbial balance'
