Abstract
To study the effect of EM and to demonstrate its applicability to the users
in farming and farm-related activities in Vietnam, a number of experiments
were conducted. Two rice cultivars treated with EM at planting with 5 replications
exhibited more vigorous growth and no leaf yellowing at high temperature
as compared to the control. Although orchids are slow-growing plants, treatment
with EM exerts pronounced effect: larger stem, darker green leaves and
accelerated flowering response. The most distinct effect of EM that has
been found is its effect of removing the stinking odor from sewage systems
in human settlements, pigsty , chicken house, dog breeding station and
feather and bone processing factory. The effect of EM on physical and chemical
properties of soil and soil microorganisms has been also studied.
