EM stands for Effective Microorganisms. It was originally developed as soil microbial inoculants in 1982 by Dr. Teruo Higa from Japan, based on the concept that crops grow better through nurturing the soil without using chemical fertilizers and pesticides. EM is a complex culture of selected beneficial microorganisms, which include photosynthetic bacteria, lactic acid bacteria and yeasts. When applied to soil or water, EM activates the existing good microorganisms. It leads the majority neutral microorganisms to exert beneficial effects and harnesses the bad microbes. Today, EM technology has a wide range of application, and has been introduced to many countries to restore a healthy ecosystem through the power of nature.
