Effective Microorganisms Active (EM Active)

EM Aktiv (EMa) is a ready-to-use product with effective microorganisms. It has many applications in the home and garden. It's also an indispensable aid for biological mold control, oil sludge remediation, and odor reduction after flooding.

Actively life-promoting

EM Active is used wherever growth occurs, fermentation processes are underway, and rotting processes need to be prevented. It promotes soil life, root formation, and plant development. It also accelerates composting, reduces algae growth, and improves water quality. In the soil, it improves the biological, chemical, and physical condition, creating a habitat for many beneficial soil organisms.

Individually approved as a soil additive according to Section 9a of the German Organic Farming Act (DMG) 1994. Listed in the InfoXgen input catalog for organic farming. As a conventional product, it complies with Regulation (EC) 834/2007 as amended and can be used in organic farming. Control body: AT-BIO-301

EM Aktiv (EMa) should always be consumed as fresh as possible, as the microorganisms are most active in the weeks following production. It has a pH of 3.3–3.6 and is made from 3% EM mother solution, 3% sugar cane molasses, and water. The mixture is anaerobically fermented for at least 10 days at 34–38 °C.

Use in plants and gardens

EM Aktiv (EMa) is an organically certified soil improver that promotes germination, root formation, flowering, fruit set, and ripening of plants. It has many uses in the garden: It permanently improves soil quality through irrigation water, and nutrients supplied by fertilizer are optimally absorbed by the plants. Spraying plants with EMa strengthens them and makes them much more resilient to external influences. In garden compost, it reduces putrefactive bacteria and accelerates decomposition.

EM Aktiv is diluted with water and sprayed or applied in a watering can. The solution should be applied immediately after mixing, as the effective microorganisms are most active at this time.

EM active is also available in larger packages, e.g. for agriculture…

Use in ponds and water bodies

EM Aktiv can be used in liner and natural ponds, biotopes, swimming lakes, and fish ponds. It promotes pond regeneration, permanently reduces rotting processes, and breaks down sludge. The treatments can be used both preventatively and in ponds that exhibit turbidity, a strong odor, or excessive algae growth.
