Pastoral Farming
The applications in pastoral farming are centred around improving your biggest asset….your soil. So the aim is get your biological activity cranked up. That means effective organic matter recycling, to build humus…the food for your soil and plants, improvements in nitrogen fixation, greater micorrhyzal activity, leading to more effective nutrient availability.
Therefore the target is your pastures and soils. To apply EM directly with a sprayer or irrigator. We have applied EM by helicopter and fixed wing plane, either alone or together with fertilizers (Fine particle or liquid fertilizers have been used)
Key applications for Pastoral farming
-
On pastures, apply 20 litres EM-A per ha with as much water as possible, target key periods such as early spring, and mid summer through to autumn to combat fungal toxin periods, ie facial excema, and dead material accumulation.
-
Combine with fertilizer applications to increase efficacy of applications (10-20 litres EM-A/ha)
-
Spray animal enclosures with 10% solution of EM with water to control odours, to improve sanitation of bedding and housing. E.g. Calfs, pigs, hens
