Please note that we used two product names in combination below. Primebiotics is our own brand of super activated EM and AEM refers to the Activated EM that you might have activated yourself from the the Stock EM-1
Introduction
EM is a mixed culture of beneficial microorganisms (primarily photosynthetic and lactic acid bacteria, yeast, actinomycetes and fermenting fungi) that can be applied as an inoculant to increase the microbial diversity of environments. This, in turn, can improve the quality and health of environments.
There is growing public demand for natural turf management that does not compromise the health of people and the environment. Effective Microorganisms represents a viable natural solution that offers a safe and effective alternative to harmful agrochemicals. EM is quickly becoming an important natural tool for the health of residential lawns, city parks, schools, and golf courses.
EM contains beneficial microorganisms that improve soil structure, drainage and water retention of the soil’s rhizosphere (root zone). EM will significantly improve turf quality during the months of extreme heat and moisture when disease pressure is greatest.

A Summary of what we can expect
- EM serves as a catalyst to naturally detoxify and enrich the topsoils—which increases plant growth, yield and overall nutritional quality.
- Improvement of soil quality substantially reduces the growth of weeds and herbivore insects, thus gradually eliminating the need for toxic herbicides, pesticides, and synthetic fertilisers.
- EM promotes photosynthesis and strengthens the vigour of plants, thus increasing their ability to withstand drought, floods, and temperature extremes.
- EM naturally remediates harmful substances—such as heavy metals, salinisation, and agrochemicals—while restoring the microbial diversity of the topsoils.
- EM increases soil temperature through microbial activity, which enables greater cultivation in colder regions.
- EM improves soil aggregation, permeability, and water holding capacity—thus reducing overall water usage.
- EM helps prevent the erosion of fertile topsoils—and can even convert desert and sodic environments into arable land.
- Detoxifies, conserves, and improves the overall quality of water and the runoff tributaries.
- EM has proved very effective for treating fungal diseases on Golf greens such as Sclerotinia homoeocarpa and others.
- The so-called ‘thatch eater’ microorganisms (Actinomycetes ssp.) effectively help to digest the black thatch layer often encountered under greens and turn them into humic substances, useful for healthy growth.
- Apply Primebiotics Environmental Health/AEM with a hose-end sprayer, backpack sprayer, or inject into the irrigation system about every 7-10 days throughout the growing season at a dilution of 1:200
- It is recommended to use organic fertilisers in combination with Primebiotics Environmental Health/AEM which provide a natural food-base for the soil and microbes.
- Use a "mulching mower" to chop and redeposit the grass clipping. Spray Primebiotics Environmental Health/AEM 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 the microorganisms to establish in the soil.
