EM International Workshop Feb2010













EM Activated Solution Dosage






EM Solution

In August 2007, Mr.Abdullah (Jamof Sdn. Bhd), taught me to produce EM Activated Solution (EMAS) using wastes from fruits and vegetables. The ingredients are fermented for 1 weeks before the solution is extracted. The EM solution can be used in many ways..

EM (Efficient Microbes) is a balanced culture of beneficial (probiotic) bacteria.

Applications include
:
Composting
Soil remediation (garden tonic)
Household hygiene
Animal Husbandry & Silage
Farming

EM works as a soil tonic and a compost activator. It contains food-grade probiotics that can safely ferment food waste into super-nutritious soil, and help re-establish the complex soil ecologies responsible for delivering nutrients and anti-oxidants to plants.

EM can also be used as a cleaning or hygiene agent can also contribute to a healthy home through its antioxidant qualities and its ability to exclude pathogenic bacteria.

EM is produced through a natural fermentation process therefore it is not chemically synthesized or genetically engineered. EM is sold as a concentrate and can be added to water and applied as is or activated and extended up to 2000 times its volume.

Hot to Prepare EM Activated Solution (EMAS):

Materials % of the total volume for 100 little

EM1     5%          5 little

Molasses    5%           5little

Clean water    90%  90little

Process of preparation

1. Mix molasses and EM in water

2. Pour the mixture into a clean plastic container or drum, close tightly and keep in a warm place.

*A suitable temperature for fermentation is from 30 to 40.

3. From about second day on, gas may form as a result of the fermentation process. Loosen the cap to release gas generated a few times during the fermentation process.

4. EMAS is ready to use, 7-10 days after preparing it. When the pH of the solution drops below 4.0(ideally it has a pH around 3.5) and when it has a sweet –sour smell like EM1 and has changed color from black to reddish brown.

*There is a wide range of variations of EMAS as a result of fermentation due to materials and conditions.
