Seed Treatment:
Soak seeds one day before planting in a 1:10,000 AEM•1®/water solution. If the seed cannot be soaked, moisten the seed before planting with the same 1:10,000 AEM•1®/water solution.
Transplanting:
Use as a drench at 4%
solution. AEM•1® can be added with other products, such as organic fertilizers, mineral supplements and compost teas during this process.
Foliar Treatments:
Apply AEM•1® with a sprayer at a 1.5- 3 gallons per acre diluted with water for coverage. It is best to apply AEM•1® as part of a foliar nutrient program once per week throughout the growing season.
Soil Treatment:
The goal is to get 40 gallons AEM•1® per acre
per year. An easy rule of thumb for growers using irrigations systems
is to apply 1-3 gallon of AEM•1® per acre per week, depending
on the length 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.
Post Harvest:
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.
Cleaning Irrigation Lines:
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 than sulfuric or bleach.
Well Treatment:
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.
