Emrojapan.com står bag viden og forskning om EM (effektive mikroorganismer) og Bokashi. Læs mere på emrojapan.com som kan være af interesse for dig som gerne vil vide mere om de effektive mikroorganismer og bokashi. Siden indeholder også en del eksempler på projekter der er lavet world-wide med EM.

Der er kun én ægte EM. Den er mærket med EMRO’s logotype og deres registrerede varemærke. Virksomheden drives af EM Research Organisation (EMRO) i Japan. Der findes licenserede producenter i 59 lande i hele verden og EM distribueres til 120 lande. EM bruges af forskellige producenter i et antal af forskellige slags produkter indenfor miljø, jordbrug, husholdning, helse og mm.

Artikel fra en videnskabelig undersøgelse fra Madrid, Spanien: Summary

The conclusion was drawn that the incorporation of a mixture of effective microorganisms (EM) intensified the biological soil activity and improved physical and chemical soil properties, contributing to a quick humification of fresh organic matter. These findings were illustrated by the microbiological activities of exopolysaccharides and by alkaline phosphatase and esterase enzymes, which can be used as early and integrated soil health indicators.

Effects of EM bokashi organic fertilizer on nodulation, physiological properties and yield of peanut plants were investigated in a nature-farming field. Compared to chemical fertilizer, EM bokashi fertilizer significantly increased both the nodule numbers per plant and fresh weight per nodule. The peanut plants fertilized with EM bokashi fertilizer also showed higher photosynthetic rate, transpiration rate and mesophyll conductance. Therefore, the vegetative and reproductive growth of peanut plant in EM bokashi treatment was promoted significantly. The shoot and root dry weights in EM bokashi treatment were significantly higher than those in chemical treatment. The total pod number and pod dry weight in EM bokashi fertilizer treatment were significantly higher than those in chemical fertilizer treatment. These results suggested that EM bokashi is an effective organic fertilizer in nature farming crop production.

Sammenfatning

Skrevet af Gideon Towett fra the Permaculture Research Institute. Her et udklip fra artiklen:

Studies have shown that, not only does the use of effective microorganisms in agricultural soil suppress soil-borne pathogens, but also increases the decomposition of organic materials and consequently the availability of mineral nutrients and important organic compounds to plants (Singh et al., 2003). In addition, EM enhances the activities of beneficial indigenous micro organisms, for example mycorrhizae which fix atmospheric nitrogen thereby supplementing the use of chemical fertiliser and pesticides. Improvement in soil fertility has significant positive effect on plant growth, flowering, fruit development and ripening in crops (Lévai et al., 2006).

Rapport

En hollandsk undersøgelse i 2013 hvor man sammenlignede almindelig kompostering med fermentering (dvs. at lave Bokashi) viste flg.:

– flere næringsstoffer i fermenteret materiale

– mindre arbejdstimer/indsats ved fermentering

– ingen høje temperaturer under fermenteringsprocessen

– kun 3,2% af organisk materiale forsvinder under fermenteringen modsat 60,2 % ved almindelig kompostering

– langt mindre CO2-fodaftryk ved fermentering

– effekten af bokashi på plantevæksten skal undersøges yderligere

Conclusions

Based on the results, we concluded that long-term EM application
in combination with compost enhanced wheat straw biomass,
grain yields, and straw and grain nutrition. The highest NPK content
in plant tissues with EM compost treatment demonstrated higher
efficiency of the release of nutrients through organic and microbial
application. We deduced that the effect of improving soil fertility
was better in compost appending EM than alone application of
compost.
