Baikal EM1, 500 ml

Baikal EM-1R (500 ml) is a liquid concentrate created using a special technology, in which a large number of beneficial microorganisms—the same ones that naturally inhabit the soil—have been cultivated. It is used for growing vegetable, fruit, and berry crops, as well as ornamental plants, and to accelerate compost maturation.

Fertilizer composition: lactic acid bacteria, photosynthetic bacteria, nitrogen-fixing bacteria, saccharomycetes, culture medium.

Benefits:

- Restores soil fertility, improves its structure, and increases germination rates and crop yields. 
- Ensures plant resistance to frost and drought.
- Increases plant resistance to diseases and pests.
- Converts organic waste into effective fertilizer in the form of compost.
- Accelerates plant growth and fruit ripening. 
- Reduces nitrate content in vegetables and fruits.

Application:

500 ml of Baikal EM-1R is sufficient to prepare 50 liters of working solution. Apply using a watering can or hose, spraying the solution onto the leaf surface using a misting spray. Shake the product well before use. 

Methods:

Soil treatment.
Seed treatment.
Spraying seedlings and houseplants.
Foliar and root treatment of plants.
Compost preparation. 
Preparation of EM compost (fertilization method).
- Dilute the EM preparation in a 1:100 ratio (half a cup per bucket of water),
- Evenly moisten manure, sawdust, plant tops, or any other organic material with the solution,
- Mix well and cover with plastic wrap. After just 2–3 weeks, the compost can be applied to the root zone. Do not apply fresh EM compost to the area around the trunk.
Pre-sowing seed treatment - Soak in a working solution of the preparation at a concentration of 1:1000 for 1–2 hours. Watering seedlings. Irrigate 4–5 times during the seedling growth period with a working solution of the product at a concentration of 1:2000 (0.5 tbsp per bucket of water)
For root and foliar watering dilute the product in a 1:1000 ratio (2 capfuls or 1 tbsp per bucket of water) and water the plants as usual once a week. Depending on the condition of the soil and plants, you can water more or less frequently. 

Fall treatment - after harvesting, water the beds with a solution of the product at a concentration of 1:100 (half a cup per bucket of water). Application rate: 2–3 L per 1 m².
Spring soil preparation - water the beds with a solution of the product at a concentration of 1:100 (half a cup per bucket of water), then work it into the soil or mulch. Application rate: 2 liters of working solution per 1 m². Do not plant in the soil until at least 7 days after treatment.

The product’s effectiveness also depends on weather conditions. During dry and hot periods, additional application of microorganisms is required, and it is advisable to apply the product in the cool of the evening. On large plots, such as potato fields, it is best to apply the product during rain. In this case, you can dilute the product 1:100 and quickly water the foliage with a watering can. The rain will do the rest. The diluted solution should not be stored for more than 3 days.
