EM Derivatives

The course on " How to Produce Natural EM Stock and Organic Fertilizer ", will teach you hand-on method to produce the following EM derivatives:

1. EM Stock ( This is a concentrated culture of effective microorganisms) ;
   
2. EMAS ( Effective Microorganisms Activated Solution - a solution which consisted of clean water which have been added with some EM Stock to allow the effective microorganisms to multiply ) ;
   
3. FPJ ( Fermented Plant Juice which is a supplement of vitamins, hormones and enzymes which helps to prevent pests and disease of the plants and soil. It also fortifies microbial activities in the leaves and soil) ;
4. FFJ ( Fermented Fruit Juice which helps to promote flowering and fruiting );
   
5. FFA ( Fermented Fish which is a foliar feed that provides Nitrogen/Amino acid for plants and promotes photosynthetic bacterias activities ) ;
6. FPE ( Fermented Plant Extract which is extracted from a mixture of herbs to be used as insecticide or insect repellents ) ;
7. CaP ( Calcium Phosphate for promoting growth and fruits )
   
8. EM5 ( Effective Microorganisms insecticide and repellent to prevent disease and pests problems in plants and animals ) ;
   
9. BOKASHI ( There are many types of bokashi. They are compost and fertilizer lump together to be mixed with soil for planting vegetables and fruit trees. Most bokashi are produced by fermenting manure and recycled organic wastes. They contain most of the nutrients for plant growth ).

Producing the above EM derivatives can help farmers or planters to :

1. save up to 50% of their operational cost ;
2. increase their crop yield by more than 25% ;
   
3. produce organic vegetables and fruits ;
4. fetch better price for their crops ;
   
5. prevent themselves from exposure to chemicals, pesticides and herbicides ;
6. prevent leaching of fertilizer in their farms/plantations ;
7. enrich and condition their land ;
8. increase more microbial activities in their land ;
9. balance the ecosystem in their land ;
10. save the environment by not using chemicals.

Due to the above benefits , it is worthwhile attending the course. The two-days comprehensive course is theory (50% ) and (hand-on 50%). It is conducted by an officer from the agriculture department with the cooperation of a few experienced organic farmers. There will be a visit to an organic farm if the weather permits.

Requirements of Plants

Plants are living organisms like human beings. They also require water, air, sunlight, nutrients, vitamins, minerals, trace elements, enzymes, and friendly microorganisms (em) for their growth.

In the jungles, the living creatures, e.g. insects, earthworms and microorganisms (em) recycle the fallen leaves, flowers, fruits and branches as nutrients for the plants. The plants grow healthily and free from diseases for hundreds or thousands of years without chemical or organic fertilizers added. Their nutrients intake are amazingly well-balanced due to the good soil-food web.

However, in the most farms and plantations, chemical fertilizers are used for plant growth. This is because the farmers/planters do not recycle their plant wastes and put them back where they have been removed. The wastes are usually burnt or thrown away.Most of the time, the chemical fertilizers applied are not well-balanced because no man on earth can produce them better than mother nature. They usually contain NPK +Mgo+TE only. These are not complete nutrients for the plants. They lack many natural macro-nutrients, micro-nutrients, minerals and trace elements which only nature can provide. As a result, the plants suffer from malnutrition, nutritional deficiency, and many other factors that impede their growth and weaken their resistance to diseases. That is why, recycling materials from plants and crops by fermenting them correctly can provide a well-balanced nutrients to the plants. They are easily absorptive by the plants because during the fermentation process the microorganisms make them bioavailable to the plants.

Effects of chemical fertilizers, herbicides and other chemically-based products :

1. Destroy friendly insects, earthworms, and microorganisms (em) in the soil;
2. Destroy good soil web, thus making insoluble compound fertilizers in the soil not bio available to the plants;
3. Damage soil structure ( soil becomes hard, acidic, saline, and unable to retain water);
4. Heavy rainfalls or floods will leach fertilizers to the drains or rivers;
5. Poor absorption of fertilizers without symbiosis between friendly bacterias and the plant;

Benefits of Organic Fertilizers and EM derivatives
In the other hand, organic fertilizers or bokashi with added effective microorganisms (em):

1. Promote the reproduction of friendly insects, earthworms, and microorganisms;
2. Promote good soil-food web and condition the soil;
3. Make insoluble compound fertilizers bio available;
4. Improve soil structure, thus prevent water stress and leaching of fertilizers;
5. Help to release the organic fertilizers slowly.
   

Different Stages of Plant Growth :
Plants have different stages of growth just like humans.

Human Requirements

1. Pregnancy - The expecting mother prepares her body by eating a well-balanced diet.
   
2. Baby stage - The baby drinks mother's milk.
   
3. After weaning - The child takes powdered milk or grind-grain milk .
   
4. About 1 year - The child takes porridge or powdered-grains porridge.
   
5. Above 2 years - The child takes solid food.
6. Adult Stage - An adult requires solid food and more nutrients
   

Likewise, we shouldn't feed the plants with just a few types of nutrients or fertilizers only.

Plants Requirements

1. Before planting - The soil should be mixed with organic fertilizers and compost
2. Seeds - Good seeds should be selected and germinated properly
3. Vegetative stage - The correct fertilizers applied for growth
4. Changeover stage - The correct fertilizers applied for flowering
   
5. Mature/Fruit Stage - The correct fertilizers applied for maturing/fruiting

Applying the correct organic nutrients plus effective microbes (em) at the right stage of growth, will help the plants to grow naturally and produce good quality crops or fruits.
