EM-1® Microbial Inoculant

OMRI Listed. Supports Soil Microbial Activity and Organic Matter Breakdown

The original. Manufactured in the USA by EMRO USA, the only authorized EM Technology® producer in the United States and Canada.

EM-1 is a concentrated liquid microbial inoculant that orchestrates the conditions for your soil's own microbial community to rebalance, regenerate, and thrive thus restoring the biological equilibrium that healthy, productive soil depends on.

In practice, this translates to measurable outcomes: growers using the EM Nitro protocol have reduced nitrogen inputs by up to 50% while maintaining or improving yields, results demonstrated in field trials and full commercial scale operations in Brazil since 2015 and the United States since 2022, using authentic EM Technology. Applied across corn, soybean, tomato, peanut, rice, barley, wheat, and other commercial crops, EM-1 supports stronger root development, accelerated organic matter breakdown, and the unlocking of nutrients already present in your soil, making fertilizer inputs go further and reducing dependence on herbicides, all within a regenerative, certified organic framework.

Great For Manure Management for Fly and Odor Control! Apply EM-1 to manure, areas of heavy urination and compost piles to accelerate the breakdown of organic matter resulting in fewer breeding sites for flies and other insects.

Suggested Uses: Apply to soils and lawn areas, on crops and ornamentals, around animal housing areas, and for bioremediation indoors. EM-1 is excellent for managing manure piles and areas where animals urinate or are washed.

General Application Rate: 1 oz. (2 tablespoons) per gallon of water.

Garden Applications: Add EM-1 concentrate to a suitable hose-end sprayer and spray directly onto plants or soil surfaces. One 32 oz. hose end sprayer (set to 1 oz./gal.) should cover about 1/8 acre. Apply once per week throughout the growing season.
