Abstract
Since May 1997, EM technology has been applied in different domains. A study at national level entitled "Research, Testing and Application of EM Technology in Agriculture and Environmental Sanitation" has been worked out and implemented since January 1998 by the Hanoi Agricultural College under the guidance and supervision of the Ministry of Science. Technology and Environment. The results of the study will be used for demonstrating the effectiveness of EM technology in crops, animal husbandry and environmental protection, and will be used as a basis for the extension of EM technology in Vietnam.
The study has been conducted with 18 experiments related to micro-organisms of EM, effect of EM on different crops such as rice, maize, soybean, vegetables; on domestic animals such as poultry, swine, in plant protection, production of fertilizer, treatment of waste and garbage, and seeking the adverse aspects of EM.
The Hanoi Agriculture University while conducting this study has collaborated with the Hanoi National University, the Plant Protection Institute, the Institute for Agricultural Science, the Veterinary Institute (within the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development), the Institute for Industrial Chemistry (within the Ministry of Industry), the Vina-Nichi Center for Technology Development (within the Ministry of Science, Technology and Environment). Besides, some provincial Departments of Science, Technology and Environment and other research institutions have also participated in the study.
Each participating unit conducts some experiments. The success in 1998 was very satisfactory, especially in the treatment of solid and liquid wastes for environmental protection. Some results of EM application in treating solid and liquid wastes in Vietnam are presented in this report.
