How does EM-1® work?
EM-1®: Effective Microorganisms® Concentrate, is a ready to use, microbial soil amendment packed full of beneficial microbes. These beneficial microbes help boost plant growth and yields, improve soil fertility and quality, and strengthen a plants natural resistance to disease and pests.
The host of beneficial microbes, including photosynthesizing bacteria, multiple strains of lactic acid bacteria, yeasts and more help break down organic matter in the soil, turning it into food for plants and release essential minerals like nitrogen.
One of the major beneficials in EM-1® are photosynthetic bacteria. In soil, they've been shown to increase root growth, and produce sugars that feed other beneficial bacteria. On the leaf surface, they produce phytohormones, protective molecules that increase growth while helping plants defend against environmental stresses, reducing the risk of root rot, temperature stress, pest attack and diseases.
EM-1® was developed by agricultural Professor Dr. Teruo Higa in the 1980's and his research resulted in finding the most 'Effective Microogranisms'® that work together to create the perfect environment for health and productivity.
Regular use of EM-1® creates nutrient rich soil so you can grow healthy produce, every time! It is made without any GMO ingredients and is USDA certified organic
Avoid watering the tomato leaves.
Remove the suckers from the bottom of the stem, these are the older leaves that increase the risk of disease.
Use stakes to keep the tomato plants off the ground.
Create good airflow between your tomato plants by not planting to close together.
Spray your tomatoes weekly with EM-1 to protect the leaves against disease.
Spray in the evenings.
During very wet periods, spray your tomatoes 1 - 3 times per week.
Application: Add 3 tbsp of EM-1 per gallon of water.

If you have had blight in the past, or have limited planting space, or lackluster tomato growth then you have just found the solution you've been waiting for. Here's why...
EM-1® - is a powerful, microbial soil amendment that's packed with beneficial microbes. This innovative blend (developed by Prof. Dr. Higa) includes photosynthesizing bacteria, strains of lactic acid bacteria, and yeasts that work wonders in breaking down organic matter, promoting nutrient uptake, and releasing essential minerals such as nitrogen.
In the soil Photosynthetic bacteria increase root growth, and produce sugars that feed other beneficial bacteria. Plant pathogens are minimal, leading to effective disease suppression.
On the leaf surface, they produce phytohormones; protective molecules that increase growth while helping plants defend against environmental stresses, reducing the risk of root rot, temperature stress, pest attack and diseases.
With EM-1®, you can say goodbye to fungal diseases like blight and say hello to lush, thriving gardens!
3. Enjoy Delicious Tomatoes All Summer Long
Your tomato plants will be lush and green with even more clusters of tomatoes. The microbes in EM-1® improve the nutrients available in the soil, which means your plants get what they need for healthy growth. The result - better quality and quantity of tomatoes!
"I add EM-1® to my watering once a week. And I also spray my plants once a week. Most of my tomato plants are now over 7 feet tall, the fruit is amazing. No blossom rot, no blight, no bugs. Green beans are producing like rabbits. I'm very impressed with the results."

"Our tomatoes have experienced blight for years now and nothing has helped to prevent it from overtaking the plants. It started on the lower leaves of a few of our plants this year before I ordered EM-1. I removed the affected leaves and now spray the plants weekly after mixing up a gallon. I water them with the leftover mixture after spraying and the plants no longer show any signs of blight. It's been a brutally hot summer here in the northeast at times, but out tomatoes are thriving. We're looking forward to a substantial harvest in a few weeks -- the first fruits are ripening now."
Mr S. | Aug. 9th, 2022
"I have been struggling with tomato blight for years. I tried other products to battle this fungus with little success. I noticed an ad on Facebook advertising EM-1 and decided to give it a shot. I can report that I am amazed and extremely happy with the results. I use an older variety of tomatoes (Heinz) which, I learned, are more prone to disease compared to newer varieties. Not only did my plants thrive, but the yield per plant was incredible. The fruit looks amazing, as well. Great product. Highly recommend."

"I purchased EM-1 because my first two heirloom tomatoes had blossom end rot and I did not want it to spread to the rest of my tomatoes. I started using ASAP and now I am getting tomatoes that are perfect."
Richard T. | Jul. 5th, 2022
"I have been using EM-1 on my tomatoes about three weeks since I noticed the yellowing leaves on one plant. Our garden has a history of blight so I immediately ordered this product. I used it with a watering can and then from a 2L hand sprayer as directed. I then ordered the 32 oz so as to keep up with any blight. It has definitely slowed down the blight and Im hoping that it will keep it under control all season and into the next. My plants are healthy looking and I've already harvested. This product will be in my arsenal nest year."
Sheila K. | Jul. 29th, 2022
"I am unable to provide a photo at the moment but will state that my tomato plants are thriving. We have a historical issue with blight and are unable to move my tomato plantings to other locations, so blight is a common feature we combat with each spring garden. I ordered the EM-1, applied it to the plants and the soil, and it has been remarkable to date that the blight issue has not been present. I shared a couple ounces with a neighbor who has the same issue and his plants were well into being destroyed. He applied the EM-1 as directed, removed the affecting leave and his plants are well on their way to recovery and thriving. So far, I can state this is an excellent product."
