The silent heroes: effective microorganisms.

The importance of non-toxic food and non-polluted natural resources depends on a clean environment. Effective microorganisms (EM) are a consortium of benefical microorganisms. These microorganisms change the balance from degeneration to regeneration. EM technology is widely used in agriculture, waste treatment and health. The application of EM technology can be integrated with standard agricultural fertilizers and reduces the usage of these chemicals. EM technology is non-toxic and cheap. Many studies are conducted about the effectiveness of EM technology and some of its results are critized. The critics are mostly related to wrong usage and application procedures. Education, training and good knowledge about microorganisms and its applications will provide more effective results in future.
