Applying Activated EM•1® (AEM•1®)for crops and soils is as easy as 1, 2, 3...4
- The goal is to get at least 40 gallons of AEM•1® per acre per year in the soil. An easy rule of thumb for growers using irrigation systems is to apply 1-3 gallons of AEM•1® per acre per week, after an initial higher dose. For shorter seasons, an initial treatment
can be from 10-25 gallons up front and then following with 1 gallon per
week in the soil for the rest of the growing season. AEM•1® can also be applied 5-8 times during the growing season using spraying equipment if irrigation systems are not in use. If continuous cropping, increase the rate to 1 gallon per week for a total of 52 gallons per acre per year.
- Additional AEM•1® is applied as part of a foliar feeding program at a rate of 0.5- -3 gallons per acre at each feeding.
- A post-harvest treatment is made at a rate of 1-5 gallons per acre to accelerate lignin and cellulose breakdown of organic matter, which is then disced in prior to next season's sowing.
- Clean irrigation lines with an application of 5 gallons per acre, let sit in lines for 4-5 days, and flush. Depending on how hard the water is, this may need to be done 2-4 times per year. The cost of the AEM•1® is less than sulfuric and it is much safer on people and equipment than sulfuric or bleach.
- Wells can be treated as well. Inject 55 gallons into a well head and let sit for 3-4 weeks. Flush and repeat one or two more times depending on the color of the water that flushes out. If it clears after the first flush there is no need to repeat the application.
