How to use EM for lawn & turf
EM-1/EM-A has quickly become an essential tool in sustainable and organic management of healthy turf. EM is a very useful technology for the golf course industry to help reduction of fungicides and pesticides. The public is now demanding turf management that does not compromise the environment or our health. EM-1/EM-A represents a viable solution, and is a safe and effective alternative for residential lawns, city parks, schools, and golf courses.
EM-1/EM-A supplies a beneficial micro-ecology that improves soil structure, drainage, and water retention of the soil's rhizosphere (root zone). EM-1/EM-A will significantly improve turf quality during the months of extreme heat and moisture when disease pressure is greatest.
- Apply EM-1/EM-A with a hose-end sprayer, backpack sprayer, or inject it into the irrigation system. It can be applied once a week during periods of extreme drought or rain and once a month for maintaining optimal turf quality and health.
- Use organic fertilizers with EM-1/EM-A. During cool weather apply EM-1/EM-A with liquid kelp. In autumn or spring EM-1/EM-A can be applied with a liquid fish emulsion.
- Use a "mulching mower" to chop and redeposit the grass clipping. Spray EM-1/EM-A onto the turf after mowing. This enables the clippings to rapidly breakdown into stable organic matter for the soil. Organic matter particles provides a home for EM to establish in the soil.
