Abstract
Field experiments were conducted at the CWDS demonstration farm and on
farmer allotments to determine the efficacy of EM in the development of
the soil and improvement in crop growth. Analysis of soils reveals the
benefits of EM in developing soil physical, chemical and biological properties
of soils, while enhancing crop yields. The use of EM has reduced costs,
thereby increasing profitability, and improving the environment. The potential
of EM in developing sustainable farming systems is presented on the basis
of this case study.
