Sir, EM[effective microorganisms), a conglomerate of beneficial microorganisms developed by dr Teuro Higa of Japan and manufactured in India by Maple Orgtech, is a very potent and 100% ecofriendly tool to enrich the soil without chemicals, boost production and make the products more healthy & nutritios and prolong their shelflife. EM can also be used in animal production, in everything from shrimps to eggs, chickens and milkproduction. Mixed into water and feed, EM will make the animals more healthy and happy, it will improve their digestion and production and take away flies and bad smell. When used for fermenting biodegadable waste in large scale, as it is done by Pune Corporation, municipal waste will be turned into wealth for farmers. When EM is used for wastewater treatment, all the treated water can be recycled for gardening, agriculture and other purposes. This we are doing at Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetam, Ettimadai, Coimbatore. EM is the perfect tool for farmers who want to step down chemicals and go over to organic agriculture and in the same time maintain their level of production.
