-Caterpillars on coffee. etc

10. -Dilute 3 to 4 tin tomato cup into 15 liters of water and spray on all crops before and during pest attack
-Spray intensively and more frequent during raining season
-Spray three to four times at flowering and fruiting.

11. EM PRODUCTS USE FOR COMPOST PRODUCTION
EM FOR AGRICULTURE EM BOKASHI
EM COMPOST

12. Compost Production
Animal waste (Dry): Ratio of incorporation: 4kg of bokashi into 50kg of any animal manure except of poultry manure where you will use 3kg of bokashi into 50kg of the manure
-Dilute 1tin tomato cup full(50-75mils) into 5liters of chlorine free water( rain, stream, well water etc)
-Water or sprinkle the solution on the mixture and mix well to obtain homogeneity
-Moisture content of 40% is reached.

CROP / STAGE
EM PRODUCT
APPLICATION
RESULT
PERENNIALS NURSERY
Bokashi and EM For Agriculture
4kgs Bokashi plus 300mls EM Agric per 01 wheelbarrow of black soil at 40% moisture , ferment for 2 -3 weeks
All harmful micro-organisms are destroyed.
Soil innoculated with effective microorganisms
SEED PREPARATION
EM 5
Spray vegetable seeds with EM 5 and dry under shade for minutes before nursing
Prevents diseases and promotes sprouting / germination.

18. NURSERY MAINTENANCE
EM 5
Spray 300ml / 15 liters chlorine free water weekly
Prevents fungal attack
Promotes sprouting / germination
TRANSPLANTING
EM COMPOST
Broadcast for huckleberry
Spot a handful for other vegetable
Sterilizes soil through elimination of harmful microbes
Enriches soils
MAINTENANCE
EM for Agriculture
300ml / sprayer at seedling establishment every four days for 3 weeks, and once a week till harvest.
Spray immediately after harvest for huckleberry
300ml/ sprayer weekly till harvest
Intensify spraying at the the attack of aphids, blight, etc
- High quality vegetable leaves are obtained
- Rottening of cabbages and lettuce is arrested
- Duration of harvesting of huckleberry is increased
- Shelf life of the harvested crops is prolonged
- The green leaves are consumed without effects
- The weight of cabbages is increased

19. Things to avoid when composting Chlorine water or chemical water
Things to avoid when composting Chlorine water or chemical water. Avoid air from getting into the mixture during the period of fermentation Do not expose the manure to rain or sun during the process.

20. Advantages of EM Compost over conventional inputs
Chemical Inputs
Dangerous to handle by a local farmer
Relatively Expensive
Not Environmentally friendly
Not sustainable (easily leached in soils
Produce crops with residues
Easy to handle by a local farmer
Cheap
Environmentally friendly
Sustainable (Last longer in soils)
Produce yield of good quality
Treat Disease soils

25. Organic Tea Produce with EM Products

26. Advantages of EM Products in Agricultural Production
Promote germination
Improve the health of soil and plants
Transform disease inducive to suppressive
Transform of organic waste into manure
Increase yield with good quality
Degradation of toxicants including pesticides
Enhance the photosynthetic capacity of crops

27. STRATEGIES
Create 10 Regional offices in high production zones (basins)
Intensify adaptive research and regional speculation specific research with quantitative analysis
Establish a network of distributors, linking them to regional offices
Exploit all ways and means to advertise the technology
Build capacities of workers and provide an enabling working environment.
