More about EM
EM is an amazing technology developed by Dr Teruo Higa from Japan in the 1980’s. This technology has gained rapid recognition and use around the globe and is now used in more than 140 Countries around the globe and manufactured in more than 60 countries worldwide.
EM can significantly enhance the beneficial effects of good soil and crop management practices such as; crop rotations, use of organic agriculture, conservation tillage, crop residue recycling, and biocontrol of pests. EM will help the decomposition process of organic materials, and during fermentation will produce normally unavailable organic acids , such as lactic acid, acetic acid, amino acid, malic acid and bioactive substances and vitamins. A key ingredient in this process is organic matter which is supplied by recycling crop residues, green manures and animal manure. In a addition this process leads to increased humus in the soil. Lactic acid bacteria which is a major ingredient in EM will suppress pathogenic microbes both directly, and indirectly, through the production of actinomycetes.
The application and use of EM technology in NZ is wide and varied:
• From crops like peas, wheat, linseed to onions, potatoes, carrots and beans.
• From sheep, cows and deer, to pigs and chickens
• From wine grapes and olives to saffron and lavender
• From recycling food waste in restaurants and schools back to gardens
• From household food waste to larger office blocks and Universities collecting lunchtime food waste.
• From small organic composting toilets in holiday homes to large composting toilets in mountain chalets for trampers and mountaineers.
• From controlling odours at commercial and large municipal composting sites to controlling odours and improving water quality at vineyards treating their own wastewater.
Whilst initially the use of EM was confined to Agriculture, in recent times the growth sector has been vineyards and organic waste management.
