About the Activation of EM-1®

The use of biological products in agriculture and animal husbandry is the future of regenerative agriculture. Nevertheless, biological products need to work with living cells of microorganisms  that are able to:

1. Firstly, survive in the environment where it is applied

2. Second, activate or wake up from its dormant state

3. Third, multiply or proliferate, to reach a number large enough to have the right effect

Unfortunately most of the biological products available on the market today are industrialized through chemical mediums and lyophilization (freeze drying) in which all the cells need to go through those three steps above to have some effect where they are applied. 

EM•1® is better than all biological products currently available on the market in the USA as EM•1® is industrialized through natural processes that keep the microorganisms in their natural states. 

EM•1® is even able to bypass those three survival steps above, as well as add an extra, and very powerful benefit to its uses. EM•1® produces metabolites, natural beneficial substances that support life. How? By using a simple process of controlled activation.

EM•1® is a microbial concentrate, and the microorganisms inside are dormant, but in their natural state. This means that waking up these microorganisms is very simple.  Just add 5% molasses plus 5% of EM•1® concentrated solution and 90% water together and mix well.  Let the mixture ferment for 7 days. That is it! After 7 days, the microorganisms will be awake,  bypassing the survival and dormant state, and proliferate in the solution. 

During these 7 days of controlled activation, when the exact quantity of molasses (sugar) is used, the microorganisms will fill up the activated solution with metabolites such as amino-acids, organic acids, vitamins, enzymes and antioxidants that support other life forms that can also feed plants and animals. Those substances are “the icing on the cake”.

Over the last 40 years EM Research Organization  (EMRO) has invested heavily world wide in standardizing this activation process so that every user can get the highest performance with the most consistency from EM•1® Technology. 

By adding precisely 5% of EM-1® and Molasses and 90% water  and waiting at least 7 days, EM•1® not only reaches its full potential but also becomes 100% free of any possible contamination from other pathogenic microorganisms.  That makes EM•1®  the safest biological product available on the market and as such, it has been granted several distinct certifications, including organic.

So, the controlled activation process is important in order to bypass all survival processes of the microorganisms, creating a very powerful natural biochemical barrier against pathogenic microbes, and enriching the solution with powerful amino acids essential to the growth of animals and plants.

All instructions, directions and recommendations of EM•1® microbial solution are standardized on the process of activating EM•1® concentrate at:

1. 5% Concentrated EM-1® solution

2. 5% Molasses

3. 90% Water

   
   

The use of EM-1® outside of this recommendation will result in less than optimal performance and is not the responsibility of TeraGanix or its partners. Please check below for further information on how to activate EM•1®  properly.
