Abstract
Since 1998 environmental agriculture has been reviewed and approved for
recommendation in Korea. We are expecting much benefits of environmental
agriculture by EM. As a part of implementation research on tomato cultivation
with EM was carried out. The results of research was good and will be very
useful assistance for government policy. After fermenting by using rice
bran 80%, fish meal 15%, sesame dregs 5%, before 20 days of seeding. 200
kg per 0.1 ha was sprayed. Again 200 kg was sprayed at the middle period
of growing and late period of growing, respectively. During growing period
we sprayed EM and molasses of 500 times liquid every 10 days. Comparing
with standard fertilized area, growing was good, and yield increased by
12 %. In the aspect of the insect and disease control the whitefly occurred
a little but blossom end rot and bacterial wilt did not occur in EM plot.
It occurred only in the standard fertilizer plot. So it was known to effect
in the protection of insect and disease control.
