Therefore, to prevent wastage, dilute only small quantities of extended EM as and when you want to use it. Different places at home where activated EM solution can be used Toilets The toilet is an area which every family member uses. At times it becomes very difficult to maintain a very clean toilet even after using the most expensive cleaning agents (almost all of which damage the environment). EM is a cheap, effective and ecofriendly cleaning agent. You can stop using phenyl (an extremely toxic chemical) forever.
1. EM diluted 100X is sprayed inside and outside the toilet bowls occasionally. This helps to reduce unpleasant odours as well as keeps the toilet bowls clean.
2. The toilet room itself (including walls) is sprayed with 500X diluted solution twice a week. This helps in reducing the general foul odour as well as possible slime and mould formation.
3. Pour about 20–30 ml of EM activated solution in the flush tank (cistern) every day. This will result in less grime and eliminate any foul odour. It will also help in improving the micro flora in the septic tank. Another advantage is that it detoxifies the wastewater. Bathrooms
1. When your bathroom drain gets clogged with hair, accumulates slime and gives out a bad odour, spray it with 500X diluted EM solution before you go to bed. The odour will go.
2. If your buckets have a soiled appearance, spray them with 500X diluted solution and wipe clean. 3. Areas of the bathroom that generate slime or black mould can be sprayed with 500X diluted solution. The slime is easily wiped off and the mould will disappear.
4. Spray the bathroom with 1000X diluted EM solution occasionally to get rid of any unpleasant odours.
5. Washing machine dryers are sprayed occasionally with 1000X diluted solution. Lint is less likely to collect.
6. Add about 20–30 ml of the activated EM to the washing machine along with the detergent every time you wash. If you do so, you need to add only half the detergent you normally use. The laundering effects are enhanced and the washing machine
no longer is soiled with grime. Use only Henko detergents. Some people soak their clothes with EM solution every night and run the clothes without any detergent through the washing machine the following day! Indoors EM has many applications for the rest of the house as well.
1. For a house subject to dust, or pet and smoke odour, spray the area with 1000X diluted solution. This will neutralise the dust and refresh the air.
2. Spray your carpet with 1000X diluted EM solution till it is damp. The carpet softens when the solution dries. Ticks will disappear.
3. Spray EM solution (1000X) on curtains and lampshades. It will reduce dust accumulation.
5. Foul odour from used footwear is eliminated by spraying 1000X diluted EM solution. Spray 500X on shoes increases their shine. Monsoon fungus (white mould) is also eliminated with 500X dilution. 6. Spray laundry before ironing with 1000X diluted solution. The finish will be nice and the clothes will remain in good condition.
7. Spray the air conditioner with 1000X diluted solution while it is in operation. Any unwanted odour will be eliminated. 8. Spray glass doors with 1000X diluted solution: the grime is easily cleaned and future dust adherence will be reduced. 9. Spray clothes cupboards with 1000X diluted solution. This prevents any future mould, keeps the air fresh and makes the cloths comfortable to wear. Kitchen EM is safe to use in the kitchen because even if it comes into contact with food, there is no danger to health.
1. The wall near the oven usually tends to get sticky with oil. Spray 500X diluted EM solution and the wipe it off with a clean cloth. Similarly, the tile joints are cleaned easily.
2. Spray the oven with 500X diluted EM solution. Wait for a few minutes and then wipe it with a clean cloth. The microwave can also be cleaned in the same manner.

collect rice wash (the water used to wash rice before cooking) in a one litre plastic bottle every day, add two capfuls of em solution and a tablespoon of sugar and the solution is ready," says takara. just pour the contents down your sinks, bathrooms and toilets, preferably — at night to allow maximum time to the micro-organisms to do their job. "fill the empty bottle with rice wash and repeat the procedure,"takara adds. what's more, the solution is also an effective cleaning agent and disinfectant for sinks and toilets. it also prevents clogging of drains and curbs cockroaches, says takara, but warns that phenol must not be used while using em solution. he also claims that the solution can be used as liquid fertiliser for gardens and for washing clothes, which reduces the consumption of detergent by 50 per cent.
According to Higa (1998), EM contains about 80 species of microorganisms divided into photosynthesizing bacteria, lactic acid bacteria, yeasts, actinomycetes and fermenting fungi which are able to purify and revive nature. The main species involved are normally the Lactobacillus plantarum, L. casei and Streptoccus lactis (lactic acid bacteria), Rhodopseudomonas palustrus and Rhodobacter spaeroides, (photosynthetic bacteria), Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Candida utilis (yeasts), Streptomyces albus and S. griseus (actinomycetes), and Aspergillus oryzae, Penicillium sp. and Mucor hiemalis (fermenting fungi)

the activated EM suspension (EMAS) is a mixture of
molasses (sugar cane) and EM in non-chlorinated water or rice rinse water (which provides
the minerals for the multiplication of the microorganisms). The product is kept in a warm
place of 20Ԩ to 35Ԩ. Fermentation process occurs after the second day and EMAS is
ready for use 7-10 days of incubation. At this point of time, the suspension has a pH
between 3.5 - 4.0, releases a pleasant sweet –sour smell, appears yellowish brown in
colour, and needs to be utilized within two weeks.
The EM mudballs are made by mixing ordinary clay, red earth or top soil with EMAS, thoroughly kneading them and forming into the size of tennis balls. Some mudballs have an additional mix of Bokashi, a fermented organic matter made using rice bran, oil cake, fish meal, sawdust, etc.. Bokashi, a Japanese word meaning "Fermented organic matter", has been used by Japanese farmers as traditional soil amendments to increase the microbial diversity of soils and supply nutrients to crops (Kurihara, 1990). After drying for about a week, the mudballs are ready for use. For all of the projects, the main aims of the mudballs include to stop the growth of algae, to break down sludge, to suppress pathogens, and to eliminate the foul smelling odours caused by high levels of ammonia, hydrogen sulfide and methane.
In addition to these, research and development are in progress to control the levels of total suspended solids (SS), dissolved oxygen (DO), chemical oxygen demand (COD), biological oxygen demand (BOD) and pH. The EM technology acts as an alternative to the conventional chemicalbased solutions with the hope to revive the dead rivers. By educating the society and involving private sectors on EMAS and EM mudball usage, the government hopes to eventually create the awareness amongst everyone to play the respective roles in improving the river water quality. The initial idea is to get all individuals to use especially the EMAS, at home and then pouring it down to the drains whereby the solution will then be flowed from the drains to rivers, thus indirectly cleaning the waters in the process.
1,100 EM mudballs into lakes as an initiative to cleanse and conserve the water ecosystem. Themed "Green & Global", the event saw Motorola Malaysia employees and 27 pupils from the school's Smart Rangers getting their hands dirty in a workshop where they moulded the EM mudballs made of soil, fermented rice bran and EM solution. Before the mudballs were thrown, EM solution was poured into the lake to improve its water quality and clarity, and revive the ecosystem. The mudballs then are believed to help reduce sludge, remove odour from the lake and control the growth of algae. In next two months, another 2,200 mudballs were placed in the lake, because according to the experimenters one mudball is needed for every one square metre and the size of the lake involved is 1,100 square meters. Evaluated of assessing the effectiveness and the improvement of water quality is in progress

EM consists of the following five families of micro-organisms: [1] Lactic acid bacteria: these bacteria are differentiated by their powerful sterilising properties. They suppress harmful micro-organisms and encourage quick breakdown of organic substances. In addition, they can suppress the reproduction of Fusarium, a harmful fungus. [2]Yeasts: these manufacture antimicrobial and useful substances for plant growth. Their metabolites are food for other bacteria such as the lactic acid and actinomycete groups. [3]
Actinomycetes: these suppress harmful fungi and bacteria and can live together with photosynthetic bacteria. [4] Photosynthetic bacteria: these bacteria play the leading role in the activity of EM. They synthesize useful substances from secretions of roots, organic matter and/or harmful gases (e.g. hydrogen sulphide) by using sunlight and the heat of soil as sources of energy. They contribute to a better use of sunlight or, in other words, better photosynthesis. The metabolites developed by these micro-organisms are directly absorbed into plants. In addition, these bacteria increase the number of other bacteria and act as nitrogen binders. [5] Fungi that bring about fermentation these break down the organic substances quickly. This suppresses smell and prevents damage that could be caused by harmful insects. These effective micro-organisms secrete beneficial substances such as vitamins, organic acids, chelated minerals and antioxidants, when in contact with organic matter they change The soil micro flora and fauna so that disease inducing soil becomes disease-suppressing soil. The anti-oxidation effects of these micro-organisms pass directly to the soil or indirectly to plants maintaining their NPK and CN ratio. This process increases the humus content of the soil and is capable of sustaining high quality food production.
By improving soil and plant health, EM assists in germination, flowering, fruiting and ripening in plants thus increasing yields and quality of product [6,7].EM also enhances the efficacy of organic matter as fertilizers and assists the photosynthetic capacity of plants (allowing them to use more of the light spectrum).
Other beneficial effects include the suppression of soil borne pathogens and pests, and the ability to suppress weeds thus reducing the reliance on chemicals as control8,9. EM cuts fertilizer costs and in time also reduces the volume of weeds10,11.As EM effective micro-organisms work largely in the anaerobic sector they are especially effective in areas where problems such as putrefaction, sludge and offensive odours occur. EM effective microorganisms are used in arable farming, vegetable production, orchards and Viniculture. Using EM in fish breeding waters and ponds brings both an improvement in water quality and sludge reduction12,13.
Commercial formulation of effective microorganism (EM) used in this study consist of Lactobacillus planetarium, Candida utilis, Streptomyces albus, Aspergillus oryzae and the formulation was maintained, stored and activated as per the manufacture instruction Activation was carried out by instruction by the manufactures.100gms of jaggery was soaked in 1liter of sterile distilled water for five hours, syrup was sterilized by filtration through membrane filter and the collected filtrate (150 ml) was mixed with 10 ml of EM stock. The preparation was kept for 24 hours and used for further study

In agriculture AEM is diluted in the range of 1:500 to 1:1,000, in wastewater treatment from 1:500 to 1: several thousands. Wherever its use has benefits, EM proves to be a cost-efficient input. EM-5 EM5 is a non-chemical insect repellent and is non toxic . EM5 is used to prevent disease and pest problems in crop plants. It is usually sprayed onto plants at a dilution of 1/500 -1/1000 in water. It is mainly used to repel insects by creating a sort of barrier. EM5 could also control insect populations. EM5 carried by insects to places of food storage could "contaminate" the stored food. The process of fermentation that takes place in the food due to EM5 makes it non-edible to insects, thereby diminishing populations. In making EM5, ingredients may vary. A standard set of ingredients is listed below. However, to make effective EM5 for more persistent pests, more organic materials should be added (organic materials that has a high quantum of antioxidants such as garlic, hot peppers, aloe, neem leaf, pruned green fruits, and grass) which are considered to be of medicinal value. When using such materials, they should be chopped or mashed in a mixer. Some or all of the materials may be used in making EM5. The following is a standard set of ingredients for making EM5 lngredients(Standard). 1. Water #1 600 cc 2. Molasses 100 cc 3. Vinegar #2 100 cc 4. Distilled spirit (30-50 %) #3 100 cc 5. EM1 100 cc #1 Well water preferred since tap water is chlorinated. #2: Natural vinegar is better than artificial acids #3: Whiskey or Ethyl alcohol could be used. Items needed in making of EM5 A large pot may be used to initially blend all of the ingredients. Plastic containers are required to store the EM5 along with a funnel to pour the EM into the containers. Blend the molasses with water, make certain that it has been completely dissolved. You may use warm water for quick dilution of molasses. Add vinegar and distilled spirit, followed by EM1. Pour the mixed solution into a plastic container which can be shut tightly (A glass container should not be used). Remove excess air in container to maintain anaerobic conditions. Store the bottle in a warm place (20-35 °C), away from direct sunlight. When container is expanded by the fermented gas, loosen the cap of the container to release gas. Shut it tightly again. The EM5 is ready for use when the production of gas has subsided. The EM5 should have a sweet smell (Ester/alcohol). EM5 should be stored in a dark cool place, which has a uniform temperature. Do not store in the refrigerator or in direct sunlight. EM5 should be used within three months after preparation. APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS: Spray EM5 diluted in water 1/500-1/1000 to wet the crop. Start spraying after germination, before pests and diseases appear. Spray in the morning or after heavy rains. Apply EM5 regularly. Since EM5 is not a pesticide, germicide or a harmful chemical, the application method is different from other agrochemicals. Chemicals are used to solve a problem forcefully and quickly and are applied at specific intervals. EM5, on the other hand, should be applied from the time of planting before the development of any disease or pests. If this is not done and diseases or pests appear, EM5 should be sprayed daily until the problem disappears. Application can be done once - twice a week with a direct spray onto the plants. Direct spraying on harmful insects should reduce populations leading to eventual disappearance. A thorough spraying to the plant ensures good results. Continuous or regular sprayings ensure that harmful insects which may have escaped or are recent additions will be affected by the EM5. EM5 works over time. Thus regular applications brings out the best results.

5. Foul odour from used footwear is eliminated by spraying 1000X diluted EM solution. Spray 500X on shoes increases their shine. Monsoon fungus (white mould) is also eliminated with 500X dilution. 6. Spray laundry before ironing with 1000X diluted solution. The finish will be nice and the clothes will remain in good condition.
7. Spray the air conditioner with 1000X diluted solution while it is in operation. Any unwanted odour will be eliminated. 8. Spray glass doors with 1000X diluted solution: the grime is easily cleaned and future dust adherence will be reduced. 9. Spray clothes cupboards with 1000X diluted solution. This prevents any future mould, keeps the air fresh and makes the cloths comfortable to wear. Kitchen EM is safe to use in the kitchen because even if it comes into contact with food, there is no danger to health.
1. The wall near the oven usually tends to get sticky with oil. Spray 500X diluted EM solution and the wipe it off with a clean cloth. Similarly, the tile joints are cleaned easily.
2. Spray the oven with 500X diluted EM solution. Wait for a few minutes and then wipe it with a clean cloth. The microwave can also be cleaned in the same manner.

collect rice wash (the water used to wash rice before cooking) in a one litre plastic bottle every day, add two capfuls of em solution and a tablespoon of sugar and the solution is ready," says takara. just pour the contents down your sinks, bathrooms and toilets, preferably — at night to allow maximum time to the micro-organisms to do their job. "fill the empty bottle with rice wash and repeat the procedure,"takara adds. what's more, the solution is also an effective cleaning agent and disinfectant for sinks and toilets. it also prevents clogging of drains and curbs cockroaches, says takara, but warns that phenol must not be used while using em solution. he also claims that the solution can be used as liquid fertiliser for gardens and for washing clothes, which reduces the consumption of detergent by 50 per cent.
According to Higa (1998), EM contains about 80 species of microorganisms divided into photosynthesizing bacteria, lactic acid bacteria, yeasts, actinomycetes and fermenting fungi which are able to purify and revive nature. The main species involved are normally the Lactobacillus plantarum, L. casei and Streptoccus lactis (lactic acid bacteria), Rhodopseudomonas palustrus and Rhodobacter spaeroides, (photosynthetic bacteria), Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Candida utilis (yeasts), Streptomyces albus and S. griseus (actinomycetes), and Aspergillus oryzae, Penicillium sp. and Mucor hiemalis (fermenting fungi)

The EM mudballs are made by mixing ordinary clay, red earth or top soil with EMAS, thoroughly kneading them and forming into the size of tennis balls. Some mudballs have an additional mix of Bokashi, a fermented organic matter made using rice bran, oil cake, fish meal, sawdust, etc.. Bokashi, a Japanese word meaning "Fermented organic matter", has been used by Japanese farmers as traditional soil amendments to increase the microbial diversity of soils and supply nutrients to crops (Kurihara, 1990). After drying for about a week, the mudballs are ready for use. For all of the projects, the main aims of the mudballs include to stop the growth of algae, to break down sludge, to suppress pathogens, and to eliminate the foul smelling odours caused by high levels of ammonia, hydrogen sulfide and methane.
In addition to these, research and development are in progress to control the levels of total suspended solids (SS), dissolved oxygen (DO), chemical oxygen demand (COD), biological oxygen demand (BOD) and pH. The EM technology acts as an alternative to the conventional chemicalbased solutions with the hope to revive the dead rivers. By educating the society and involving private sectors on EMAS and EM mudball usage, the government hopes to eventually create the awareness amongst everyone to play the respective roles in improving the river water quality. The initial idea is to get all individuals to use especially the EMAS, at home and then pouring it down to the drains whereby the solution will then be flowed from the drains to rivers, thus indirectly cleaning the waters in the process.
1,100 EM mudballs into lakes as an initiative to cleanse and conserve the water ecosystem. Themed "Green & Global", the event saw Motorola Malaysia employees and 27 pupils from the school's Smart Rangers getting their hands dirty in a workshop where they moulded the EM mudballs made of soil, fermented rice bran and EM solution. Before the mudballs were thrown, EM solution was poured into the lake to improve its water quality and clarity, and revive the ecosystem. The mudballs then are believed to help reduce sludge, remove odour from the lake and control the growth of algae. In next two months, another 2,200 mudballs were placed in the lake, because according to the experimenters one mudball is needed for every one square metre and the size of the lake involved is 1,100 square meters. Evaluated of assessing the effectiveness and the improvement of water quality is in progress

EM consists of the following five families of micro-organisms: [1] Lactic acid bacteria: these bacteria are differentiated by their powerful sterilising properties. They suppress harmful micro-organisms and encourage quick breakdown of organic substances. In addition, they can suppress the reproduction of Fusarium, a harmful fungus. [2]Yeasts: these manufacture antimicrobial and useful substances for plant growth. Their metabolites are food for other bacteria such as the lactic acid and actinomycete groups. [3]
Actinomycetes: these suppress harmful fungi and bacteria and can live together with photosynthetic bacteria. [4] Photosynthetic bacteria: these bacteria play the leading role in the activity of EM. They synthesize useful substances from secretions of roots, organic matter and/or harmful gases (e.g. hydrogen sulphide) by using sunlight and the heat of soil as sources of energy. They contribute to a better use of sunlight or, in other words, better photosynthesis. The metabolites developed by these micro-organisms are directly absorbed into plants. In addition, these bacteria increase the number of other bacteria and act as nitrogen binders. [5] Fungi that bring about fermentation these break down the organic substances quickly. This suppresses smell and prevents damage that could be caused by harmful insects. These effective micro-organisms secrete beneficial substances such as vitamins, organic acids, chelated minerals and antioxidants, when in contact with organic matter they change The soil micro flora and fauna so that disease inducing soil becomes disease-suppressing soil. The anti-oxidation effects of these micro-organisms pass directly to the soil or indirectly to plants maintaining their NPK and CN ratio. This process increases the humus content of the soil and is capable of sustaining high quality food production.
By improving soil and plant health, EM assists in germination, flowering, fruiting and ripening in plants thus increasing yields and quality of product [6,7].EM also enhances the efficacy of organic matter as fertilizers and assists the photosynthetic capacity of plants (allowing them to use more of the light spectrum).
Other beneficial effects include the suppression of soil borne pathogens and pests, and the ability to suppress weeds thus reducing the reliance on chemicals as control8,9. EM cuts fertilizer costs and in time also reduces the volume of weeds10,11.As EM effective micro-organisms work largely in the anaerobic sector they are especially effective in areas where problems such as putrefaction, sludge and offensive odours occur. EM effective microorganisms are used in arable farming, vegetable production, orchards and Viniculture. Using EM in fish breeding waters and ponds brings both an improvement in water quality and sludge reduction12,13.
Commercial formulation of effective microorganism (EM) used in this study consist of Lactobacillus planetarium, Candida utilis, Streptomyces albus, Aspergillus oryzae and the formulation was maintained, stored and activated as per the manufacture instruction Activation was carried out by instruction by the manufactures.100gms of jaggery was soaked in 1liter of sterile distilled water for five hours, syrup was sterilized by filtration through membrane filter and the collected filtrate (150 ml) was mixed with 10 ml of EM stock. The preparation was kept for 24 hours and used for further study

In agriculture AEM is diluted in the range of 1:500 to 1:1,000, in wastewater treatment from 1:500 to 1: several thousands. Wherever its use has benefits, EM proves to be a cost-efficient input. EM-5 EM5 is a non-chemical insect repellent and is non toxic . EM5 is used to prevent disease and pest problems in crop plants. It is usually sprayed onto plants at a dilution of 1/500 -1/1000 in water. It is mainly used to repel insects by creating a sort of barrier. EM5 could also control insect populations. EM5 carried by insects to places of food storage could "contaminate" the stored food. The process of fermentation that takes place in the food due to EM5 makes it non-edible to insects, thereby diminishing populations. In making EM5, ingredients may vary. A standard set of ingredients is listed below. However, to make effective EM5 for more persistent pests, more organic materials should be added (organic materials that has a high quantum of antioxidants such as garlic, hot peppers, aloe, neem leaf, pruned green fruits, and grass) which are considered to be of medicinal value. When using such materials, they should be chopped or mashed in a mixer. Some or all of the materials may be used in making EM5. The following is a standard set of ingredients for making EM5 lngredients(Standard). 1. Water #1 600 cc 2. Molasses 100 cc 3. Vinegar #2 100 cc 4. Distilled spirit (30-50 %) #3 100 cc 5. EM1 100 cc #1 Well water preferred since tap water is chlorinated. #2: Natural vinegar is better than artificial acids #3: Whiskey or Ethyl alcohol could be used. Items needed in making of EM5 A large pot may be used to initially blend all of the ingredients. Plastic containers are required to store the EM5 along with a funnel to pour the EM into the containers. Blend the molasses with water, make certain that it has been completely dissolved. You may use warm water for quick dilution of molasses. Add vinegar and distilled spirit, followed by EM1. Pour the mixed solution into a plastic container which can be shut tightly (A glass container should not be used). Remove excess air in container to maintain anaerobic conditions. Store the bottle in a warm place (20-35 °C), away from direct sunlight. When container is expanded by the fermented gas, loosen the cap of the container to release gas. Shut it tightly again. The EM5 is ready for use when the production of gas has subsided. The EM5 should have a sweet smell (Ester/alcohol). EM5 should be stored in a dark cool place, which has a uniform temperature. Do not store in the refrigerator or in direct sunlight. EM5 should be used within three months after preparation. APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS: Spray EM5 diluted in water 1/500-1/1000 to wet the crop. Start spraying after germination, before pests and diseases appear. Spray in the morning or after heavy rains. Apply EM5 regularly. Since EM5 is not a pesticide, germicide or a harmful chemical, the application method is different from other agrochemicals. Chemicals are used to solve a problem forcefully and quickly and are applied at specific intervals. EM5, on the other hand, should be applied from the time of planting before the development of any disease or pests. If this is not done and diseases or pests appear, EM5 should be sprayed daily until the problem disappears. Application can be done once - twice a week with a direct spray onto the plants. Direct spraying on harmful insects should reduce populations leading to eventual disappearance. A thorough spraying to the plant ensures good results. Continuous or regular sprayings ensure that harmful insects which may have escaped or are recent additions will be affected by the EM5. EM5 works over time. Thus regular applications brings out the best results.
