EM•1® Case Study: Sweet Potato

Researchers at Mississippi State University on sweet potatoes tested overall plant growth and yield with treatments of EM•1®. EM•1® was applied to sweet potato fields at 30 gallons of EM•1®/acre total, spread over 3 applications.

10 gallons per acre post-harvest previous crop (untreated fields before hand)10 gallons per acre at transplanting 10 gallons per acre 2 weeks after planting

2015 saw an almost 4% increase in yield and by the second year there was a 5.5% increase.

For most field crops, we recommend 60 gallons of EM•1® per acre per year spread over applications throughout the year, generally at each irrigation.

40 Gallons/acre/year in the Soil
20 Gallons/acre/year as a Foliar

Foliar spray should be applied in the morning or evenings. Conventional farmers can use EM•1® with most of their programs. Do not mix synthetic chemicals with the microbes in concentrated, non-diluted, form. Many pesticides, such as Round-Up are antibiotic in nature and kill all the microbes within seconds of mixing. Therefore, if pesticides are to be used, please wait at least 48 hours between applications of pesticide and EM-1®.
