This revolutionary product was originally discovered by accident. While researching soil microbiology in Japan, Dr. Teruo Higa noticed an incredible growth surge in shrubs where a mixture of micoorganisms had been discarded. A farmer by upbringing, Dr. Higa recognized the potential to move agriculture away from chemical dependency. After years of refinement, he perfected the optimal "consortium" in the 1980s, introducing the world to EM® Technology (Effective Microorganisms®).

How it works: EM•1® is a certified organic liquid probiotic consisting of a stable community of beneficial microbes from three primary groups: Yeasts, Photosynthetic Bacteria, and Lactic Acid Bacteria. When applied as a foliar spray, this microbial "workforce" colonizes the leaf surface, producing phytohormones and beneficial enzymes. These molecules act as a protective shield, fortifying plant resistance against environmental stress, pests, and harmful pathogens. In the soil, EM•1®microbes work symbiotically with the plant to expand root systems, unlock "stuck" nutrients, and bolster defenses against fungal diseases like the dreaded tomato blight.

Versatility & Value: EM•1® is a professional-grade concentrate that is ready to use straight from the bottle. Because it is a living "mother culture," it can also be activated through a simple 7-day brewing process. This allows you to expand 1 gallon of concentrate into 20 gallons of "Activated EM•1®" making it the most economical biological tool for large-scale application on lawns, orchards, and gardens without sacrificing potency.

Mixing Rate: 8ml/1 litre of water for weekly foliar spray (this rate is the same for activated EM•1® or the concentrate).
