Abstract
AuroAnnam at Auroville has used EM-fermented plant extract (EM-FPE) from
locally available plants, some of which are known to have pest controlling
properties - for pest management. In exchange with various parties in India,
experience with this method has been gathered. It seems that the pest controlling
properties of many plants can be enhanced if fermented with EM. Neem tree
leaves form the base of all EM-FPEs. Methodology does not satisfy scientific
parameters, but seems to be useful for farmers and gardeners and is encouraging
everybody to create one's own preparations. This method of pest control
is effective and affordable and based on easily available materials.
