EM Foundation
EM Foundation is a product which combines beneficial soil microorganisms, Amino Acids, Plant Growth Stimulants and complex food sources in the form of fish hydrolysate and Humic and Fulvic Acid, This combination is designed to balance soils, unlock soil bound nutrients and enhance the uptake of fertiliser inputs.
The addition of live microbes contained within EM, in combination with multiple microbial food sources is designed to enhance the activity and longevity of microbes in the soil.
THE KEY BENEFITS OF USING EM FOUNDATION ARE:
- Increasing soil microorganisms
- Feeding the soil microbiome
- Enhancing Nutrient Uptake
- Boosting plant hormone responses
- Enhanced plant brix
- Convert nutrients effectively into plant available compounds
- Improving soil structure
- Boosting bacterial and fungal activity
- Providing readily available Amino Acids
- Stimulating plant root growth
- Suppressing disease
WHY ACTIVATE SOIL BIOLOGY
Scientific trials and surveys show that active soil microbes are a key component to to healthy soils, and are important to ensure optimal performance of your soil. These beneficial bacteria and fungi improve nutrient availability and protect the crop from disease. We also know that as beneficial microbial populations decline, disease increases. The components in EM Foundation contain both EM which is a proven soil activator - stimulating and adding to the resident microbial population, and microbial food sources designed to activate soil microbes by feeding them to make a difference to soils and crops. The main decomposition pathways in soil are either bacterial-based or fungal-based. Fungi and and bacteria are the principal agents for the cycling of nutrients.
EM Foundation is designed to add both bacteria and fungi to the soil in EM and add Fungal Food sources in the for of Fish hydrolysate and humic and fulvic acid. It should be used primarily as a soil conditioner, to feed soil microbes, improve root growth and provide a source of active carbon.
TYPICAL ANALYSIS; Contains EM, amino acids, Vitamins, Fish hydrolysate with humic and fulvic acid. N 1.3%, P 1.5%, K 1%, S 0.3%
DIRECTIONS FOR USE: Add EM Foundation to spray and fertigation tank slowly, with tank nearly full and maximum agitation. Blockages can occur if neat product comes into contact with filtration system. (Ideal spray units have a rosette and no filters). When blending with other compounds dissolve EM Foundation separately and add to tank as last ingredient. Always agitate drum contents prior to use.
APPLICATION RATES: Blend up to 1L of EM Foundation with 20L water. Can be used via foliar or irrigation.
COMPATABILITY: Mixes with most agricultural chemicals and fertilisers - please check with your agronomist for further details.
STORAGE: Store in original container away from direct sunlight.
