WHAT IS em?

THE SECRET OF OUR MICROORGANISMS: ECOLOGICAL, EFFECTIVE.

 

About 30 years ago, a mixture of microorganisms was developed on the island of Okinawa (Japan) that has proven to be a great help in many areas of our lives. This mixture of Effective Microorganisms was identified as EM and consists of the different types of microorganisms that were collected naturally and cultivated in a specific way.

 

The most important microorganisms in EM are lactic acid bacteria, yeasts and photosynthetic bacteria.

 

Several of these microorganisms have long been known in the medical and food industries and are extremely beneficial for people, animals (e.g. sheep and goats), plants, soil and water. Of course, the Effective Microorganisms have not been genetically modified. For many years, research in Japan and other countries has repeatedly confirmed the complete harmlessness and safety of EM.

  

 

The effect of Effective Microorganisms
 

EM influences the microbial environment in a way that the regenerative microorganisms become dominant. This creates an environment, in which the microorganisms play a positive role in plant growth, plant quality and soil fertility by using fermentation. Fermentative decomposition is stimulated, whereby decomposition disappears, i.e. soil, in which regenerative microorganisms prevail, can create ideal results, suppress illnesses and produce high-quality products.

 

Using Effective Microorganisms is particularly appealing in conventional agriculture and with organic farmers. Using EM can lower fertiliser costs and can reduce weed infestation over time. As the Effective Microorganisms mainly work in the anaerobic area, they are especially suitable for use in places where problems with decomposition, odour and siltation occur.

The Effective Microorganisms are used in farming, vegetable cultivation, fruit cultivation and winegrowing. EM also makes a significant contribution to improving the water quality and reducing silt in ponds, biotopes and fishing areas. The microorganisms in EM manage to convert composition that occurs when various organic materials such as leaves, algae, pollen, seeds, fish food, etc. settle. The water quality is thus improved and the environment is ideal for breeding fish.
