Agriculture
Agriculture is one of the key priorities to address the many food issues affecting the African continent. States are faced with making enormous sacrifices to subsidize agricultural inputs they export. Which contributes a heavy price for their budget in the agricultural sector. Application of EM Technology TM can help significantly reduce the use of chemical fertilizers and produce good quality food.
Soil amendment.
The MA is a natural product, then it is important to note that the results are not immediate, and are the characteristics of each soil type and condition. What is interesting is that we can amend any soil type from MS. The various products involved in soil amendments are EM1, EMA, and EM-X Powder Cera. For best results, a study of the soil amendment is recommended, which is why it would be difficult to describe here an example. You will find some examples in the "Practical Advice." Our technical department is at your disposal to give practical advice.
Improvement and soil conditioning
Organic residues left in the field after harvest or crops will not be a major concern for you. The idea of ??the burning for weed control is no longer necessary with the use of EM. Thanks to the extraordinary virtues of EM, we can improve the physical, chemical and biological soil. Thus the EM helps to improve the natural decomposition of organic matter by turning them into good humus. Organic matter and decomposed by the fermentation process will increase the growth of beneficial microorganisms, which in turn through their metabolites are a source of vitality for the soil and crops.
Tip:
We recommend using from 30 to 50 liters of EM per hectare spread over several doses per year. The products are used EM1 or EMA. Before use, the EM1 or the EMA should be diluted with pure water without chlorine. The dosage may be 1 / 200, 1 / 500 or 1 / 1000. It depends on the moisture in the soil. The application of EM1 or EMA must be done very early before sunrise or at sunset, with wet weather, or herald a time of rain.
Plantation-sowing-Grafting.
The use of EM in the process of sowing, planting or direct grafting is highly effective. Protection during the initial seed to the stage of germination, flowering and harvesting the EM can be applied easily and without great means of cost for its use. The main objective is to promote adequate protection against diseases, insects, rodents and other pests, and accelerate the germination and growth of seedlings.
Methodology
Sowing
1 º Prepare a solution of EMA diluted to 2% in a clean container. Water should be pure and without chlorine.
2nd Choose organic produce to plant (rhizomes, seeds, cuttings, etc. ..), wash, and dry in the shade for a period of 45 minutes.
3 º Dip organic matter in the selected container EMA diluted, for a period depending on the type of organic matter and its size. The suggestion below is an example.
Seed size Soaking time
Large seed 1h - 1h30
Seed average 45 minutes - 1 hour
Small seed 20 - 30 minutes
Cuttings and grafting 30 - 45 minutes
Direct planting
1 º Prepare a solution of EMA diluted to 2% in a clean container. Water should be pure and without chlorine.
2 º Apply the solution to make seeds and planting.
In the case of direct planting, you can also use the EM-X Cera powder diluted in pure water without chlorine in a proportion of 1%
Transplantation
Prepare a solution of EMA diluted to 2% in a clean container. Water should be pure and without chlorine.
1 º Transplantation with bare root.
In this case, simply soak the roots in the solution of EMA during a period of about 30 to 40 minutes and crash.
2 º Transplantation with Substrate
You must water the seedlings with the solution of EMA in the pots for 2 to 3 days prior to their implementation underground.
Benefits
The probability of growth increases. The period of seed germination is shorter. The stems and roots of seedlings are more vigorous and so on.
PROPHYLAXIS
The MA can also apply preventive measures in any type of culture. The product used is called EM5 and is prepared based on the EM1, molasses, sugar cane, alcohol at 40 º, fruit vinegar and pure water without chlorine.
Applications
Depending on the situation (preventive measure to attack an infection, etc. ..) EM5 solution can be diluted with water in the order of 0.1%, 1% or 10%. It is important to note that the EM5 is not an agro-toxic, meaning that the desired effect when applications are not immediate. Its regular use as germination is working flawlessly. Therefore, it is often advisable to make a sandwich with the EMA in the applications.
For this at the onset of disease, it will be required to implement the EM5 daily until their complete elimination.
It is also possible to take preventive measures by immersing the seeds in a solution of EM5, dry in the shade for half an hour, and then executing them underground.
Benefits
In addition to being a natural product, the EM5 has no side effects or on crops or on humans or the environment. The EM5 shortens the process of seed germination. More amazing is the expected outcome and reduced costs compared to other products such as fungicides, germicides, insecticides etc..
Treatment of Organic Waste
With the EM, we can take advantage of organic materials from any type of crop or plantation, leaf litter or process of transformation of said products (eg, waste from processing plants of agricultural products like fruits , oilseeds, cereals, etc. ..). It is this transformation process itself or the fermentation of these residues in a good quality compost which we call the Bokashi Compost. For the preparation of the compost, you can also add organic matter to a proportion of animals from 30 to 40% of the total residue. Crushed shells can also be used. The Bokashi will once prepared a fermentation period of 2 to 3 weeks for a good natural decomposition. With EM the decomposition process does not smell, nor heat, without the presence of flies or other insects, however the MS allows the availability of nitrogen and phosphorus. Highlighting organic residues from the fermentation process with the MA, you significantly reduce handling costs, in addition to selling to farmers or other entities Bokashi compost produced. For various applications, refer to Link "tips" or contact our technical department. Below Bokashi compost from cow manure, horse or grass. You can use the EM1, EMA, and also the Bokashi starter and EM-X ceramic powder in order to optimize the performance of composting.
