Abstract
A large extent of land in the South of Sao Paulo is cultivated with oranges,
and EM has been applied onto these trees. Traditionally, this farm had
been using large quantities of fertilizers and pesticides. EM was sprayed
once in two months to these trees, along with pesticides. With time, many
pest and disease problems were eradicated. The trees had heavy foliage
and there was an abundance of fruits. The nutrition of trees supplied with
EM was also better. The practical benefits of using EM in citrus plantations
are presented.
