They are an active microbial eco system in soil or water that enables roots to take up as much available nutrient as possible, resulting in a stronger more species representative plant.

One example of the benefits of happy friendly active probiotic bacteria is usually found in organic vegetables because they taste more as expected. However, it must be stressed plants are like humans, they are what they eat, If they are not fed properly they will not meet expectations.

Another example is wastewater treatment. Effective micro-organisms, EM, added to the polluted water or sludge will start the breakdown process very quickly and go on for much longer, despite temperature changes. They also colonise roots of reeds more easily, which encourages more root growth, which in turn encourages more colonies. A win win situation for both plant and bacteria and ultimately the wastewater treatment process.


Friendly probiotic bacteria found in EM, effective micro-organisms, are essential for healthy root growth with all the attendant benefits.

Organic vegetable gardening using natural manures and plant foods, including green manure, is enhanced through with the addition of active EM because of the regenerative properties that improve the taste.
