EM SOLUTIONS MANUFACTURING FACILITY
SANKO SANGYO
The “mother company” of genuine saion EM Based in Okinawa, Japan Launched the research and business of EM
Technology over 30 years ago Prof Teuro Higa joined to develop EM products Are recognised and documented as the world
leaders of EM Technology Sanko Sangyo is dedicated to manufacturing
safe and high quality EM products for its customers to contribute to the protection of human and environmental health.
WHAT IS EM?
EM = EFFECTIVE MICROORGANISMS Is produced through a natural process of
fermentation Is a combination of beneficial naturally occurring
microorganisms Is a liquid concentrate Produced from cultivations of over 80 varieties of
microorganisms Most outstanding feature is it includes anaerobic
and aerobic species of microorganisms coexisting in a most beneficially productive manner
Not chemically synthesized or genetically engineered
Contains microorganisms from 3 main groups -
PHOTOSYNTHETIC BACTERIA
Independent, self supporting microbes Produces useful substances from organic
matter, secretion of roots and harmful gasses
Develop amino acids, nucleic acids, bioactive substances and sugars.
Absorbed directly by the plant promoting plant growth and development
Increases the population of native beneficial bacteria.
LACTIC ACID BACTERIA
Develop Lactic Acid from sugars and other carbohydrates developed by Photosynthetic Bacteria and Yeast.
Lactic Acid is a strong sterilizing compound which suppresses harmful microorganisms and enhances the decomposition of resistant materials (cellulose etc.)
Removes undesirable effects of decomposition
YEAST
Utilise amino acids and sugars produced by Photosynthetic bacteria, organic matter and plant roots
Produces hormones and enzymes Are useful substrates for other Effective
Microorganisms – Lactic Acid Bacteria and Actinomycete.
Co existence
IS EM SAFE?
EM is a combination of certain naturally existing, beneficial, aerobic and anaerobic, nontoxic and non-pathogenic microorganisms.
The microorganisms specifically used are not genetically modified or engineered. The potential of the naturally existing microbes and their coexistence abilities were "discovered“
The microorganisms in EM are considered food-grade. All microbes used for EM production are known not to be harmful to the soil, air, groundwater, land, animals or humans
EM products are BFA registered. Lactobacilli and photosynthetic bacteria are important
components in the EM formula, belonging to the anaerobic group. They are now recognised as being effective in the control of diseases.
EM is a living entity containing active microbes found in all ecosystems
EM MIXED CULTURES vs. SINGLE CULTURES
Previous efforts to introduce single cultures of microorganisms have been largely unsuccessful – They are immediately subject to competitive and aggressive effects of indigenous soil micro flora and their numbers soon decline.
A mixed culture of physiologically and ecologically compatible soil microorganisms (EM) enhances the predominance of beneficial and effective microorganisms improving and maintaining the chemical and physical properties of soils, therefore shifting the microbial equilibrium of a soil and controlling it to favour the growth, yield and health of crops.
EM IN AGRICULTURE Shifts the “microbial equilibrium” to favour growth, yield and health of
plants/crops Functions of Beneficial Microorganisms in soil Fixation of atmospheric nitrogen Enhance decomposition of organic wastes and residues Suppresses soil-borne pathogens Recycles and increases availability of plant nutrients Reduces the concentration of toxins including pesticides Production of antibiotics and other bioactive compounds Production of amino acids, nucleic acids, varieties of vitamins and hormones
to plants Complexation of heavy metals to limit plant uptake Solubilisation of insoluble nutrient sources Production of polysaccharides to improve soil aggregation Enhances photosynthetic capacity of crops Promotes germination, flowering and fruiting Increases the effectiveness of fertilisers.

EM IN AGRICULTURE
Effectively used in soil and foliar applications for; Regular crops Vegetables Fruits Turf Farming Hydroponics
EM IN WATER
Is a biological tool to minimise and diminish concentrations of pollutants through bioremediation
Controls the propagation of harmful microbes Reduces organic matter to a soluble state,
readily consumed by bacteria. Breaks down and decomposes chemical
substances Produce large quantities and varieties of
organic and inorganic acids and anti-oxidising enzymes
Cont…..
Utilizes and consumes harmful gasses (methane, hydrogen sulphide, ammonia) therefore eliminating odour – foul smelling water
Reduces the breeding of flies and mosquitoes Used effectively in Waste Water Treatment Plants, Sewer
Systems, Septic Systems, Holding Tanks, Lagoons, Pond Systems etc.
EM IN WATER
EM IN ANIMAL HEALTH
The application of EM to stockfeed & drinking water; Enriches it with beneficial substances such as amino acids, vitamins
and enzymes Betters the digestibility and nutrient absorption of the animal Naturally balances the intestinal micro flora resulting in improved
health, eating habits, improved feed conversion rates & weight gain Improves overall shed environment and provides a better working
atmosphere for staff. Effectively used in; Dairy and beef cattle Horses (all disciplines) Sheep and lambs Pets
THE SUCCESS OF EM IN OVER 116 COUNTRIES IS WELL DOCUMENTED

CARROT SEED TRIAL
Crop - Umbelliferae – Carrot Farming type – Conventional Growing Season - February 2010 - March 2011 The Application of EM – 1ST Application - 3 weeks prior to planting (Mid
February) EM was applied to the soil with a boom spray at a rate of 10L per hectare mixed with 300L water prior to soil preparation (cultivation).
2nd Application - 3 months (mid May) after the initial application, EM was applied at 10L per hectare through a fertigation system.

CARROT SEED TRIAL
Harvesting and Seed weighing - Crop harvesting and seed weighing was carried out by South Pacific Seeds (SPS).
Yield Results - EM treated soil increased carrot seed yield by 24%.
SOIL TYPE YIELD AVERAGE PER ROW
