EM preparations and effective microorganisms: what is it and how is it used. Baikal is an effective modern em preparation for quick composting

For accelerated processing of organic waste plant origin into humus.

Humus is a valuable natural, organic fertilizer that increases plant productivity by 25-50% due to the content of nutrients in a form that is easily digestible for plants. The use of humus for fertilizer increases the resistance of plants to diseases, droughts and waterlogging, accelerates growing season, contributes to the development and strengthening of the root system of plants.
Trademark Vodohray represents on the Ukrainian market biopreparation Vodohray + for accelerated composting organic waste. This product is intended for the production organic fertilizer directly to garden plot in short time. As a result of application, a product with a high content of humus is formed, without weed seeds and putrefactive bacteria.

It is offered to your attention detailed description the actions of this drug, the method of application and dosage recommended by the manufacturer:
The use of the biopreparation Vodohray for accelerated composting makes the process of preparing humus faster and deeper than with conventional composting.
Making compost in this way is close in its result to vermicomposting, a technology that uses earthworms, (or the most popular red Californian worms).

The decomposition of organic matter is influenced by many factors, of which three main ones should be distinguished:
1) The presence of oxygen.
Compost production depends on oxygen access. Aerobic decomposition means that the active microbes in the contents of the compost heap or pit need oxygen to function properly. Anaerobic decomposition means that active microbes do not need oxygen to live and grow.
Part biological product Vodohray + for accelerated composting includes aerobic and anaerobic types of microorganisms.
Since the composting process itself does not occur in the form of a simple decomposition of the source material into its constituents, but represents multiple chemical transformations, it is very useful to ensure a constant or periodic supply of fresh air to the entire volume of compostable material.

2) The presence of moisture.
Need to support high humidity in the compost heap, but it is necessary to provide air access for aerobic bacteria. The minimum moisture content at which the activity of microorganisms is manifested is 12-15%, the optimum is 60-70%. The lower the moisture content of the compost mass, the slower the composting process will be. Experience shows that when the moisture content of the material drops below 30-40%, the effectiveness of the action of bacteria also decreases.

3) Temperature.
As you know, temperature is the most important factor, affecting the flow rate chemical reactions. Low outside temperatures slow down the decomposition process, while warm summer temperatures speed up the process. During the warmer months of the year, intense microbiological activity within the compost heap leads to compost formation at extremely high temperatures. Microbes that decompose organic matter are divided into two main categories: mesospheric, which live and grow at temperatures from +10°C to +45°C, and thermophilic, which successfully grow and develop at temperatures above +45°C. Basically, at the initial stage of processing, the thermophilic stage occurs. At this stage, organic matter is rapidly dehydrated, so it is necessary to keep the compostable material moist and provide air access to it. The temperature inside the compost heap can rise to +70°C, which contributes to the thermal neutralization of organic material. At this temperature, weed seeds and many pathogenic (phytopathogenic) microorganisms are destroyed.

The next stage takes place at a temperature of about 40°C, while other microorganisms predominate and complete decomposition of organic materials occurs.
The structure of the source material also affects the efficiency and speed of processing organic waste into humus mass.

The more crushed the source material, the faster the process of its decomposition. This is because the contact area of ​​the material with other active substances is significantly increased. Careful pre-shredding of waste significantly speeds up the composting process. To obtain a high-quality processed product, organic waste of plant origin should be used: cut grass, fallen leaves, vegetable peels or leftovers plant food. Do not add meat, fat, and bones to the contents of the compost material, as they decompose slowly and may smell bad, attracting pests.
Periodic loosening of the contents of the compost heap with a pitchfork has a beneficial effect on the recycling process due to the access of air to the compacted inner layers of its contents.

How to use the biopreparation Vodohray + for accelerated composting of organic material:
1) Measure out the necessary dose of the drug with a table spoon without top according to the table and add it to 10 liters of settled water, not chlorinated, not filtered by household filters with a temperature of +20°C to +25°C.

2) Intensively stirring at short intervals, to enrich the mixture with oxygen, let it brew for 20-30 minutes.

3) Pour the resulting solution evenly with a watering can or bucket onto the organic material prepared for composting.

100 grams of the drug is enough to process 1 meter of cubic organic material. With an increase in the volume of organic material, the amount of the drug increases proportionally (for calculation, see the table).

The material to be composted must be damp. For this reason, it is recommended to place the compost in a shaded place, closed from drafts. Due to the unique features of the preparation, the composting process takes place at an accelerated pace. At temperatures above + 10°С and favorable conditions You can expect results after 3-4 weeks.
For good air access, it is recommended to turn the composted material every 2 weeks. The main requirement for the operation of a biological product is the preservation of humidity and air access in the composted material. If there is not enough oxygen, the process of decay can begin. Watering the compostable material should be done once a week.

Calculation table:

Compost bacteria are highly concentrated beneficial microorganisms for high fiber materials such as straw, cattle and cattle manure, etc. Compost Bacteria improve the productivity and decomposition rate of waste, these bacteria have been carefully selected, experimentally brought to an improved high concentration bacterial and fungal mixture. These strains are designed to best survive, reproduce and enzymatically decompose organic waste during the composting process in order to improve pulp utilization. solid waste and production of humus compost in agriculture. Bacteria (cellulase, xylanase, amylase, lignin-containing decomposition enzymes) promote the release of sugar from cellulose, hemicellulose, starch and other carbohydrates in the compost. Bacteria effectively inhibit (suppress) the reproduction of bacteria and invertebrates, thereby neutralizing pathogenic flora and unpleasant odors. An effective combination of beneficial microorganisms will significantly reduce the time of compost fermentation.

Benefits of Bacteria for Compost:

  • Reducing organic waste in volumes;
  • Efficient way to extract nutrients from organic waste;
  • Production of high-quality fertilizer for the soil, including mineral fertilizers, improvement of soil structure and aeration (exchange of soil air with atmospheric, soil ventilation), as well as increasing the soil's ability to retain water, including weakened clay and sandy soils more resistant to moisture retention;
  • Increasing soil fertility and stimulating the healthy development of the plant root system;
  • Composting organic matter provides nourishment for beneficial bacteria and then maintains a healthy balance of micro-organisms in the soil;
  • Bacteria in the process of fermentation produce nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, which allows you to replenish the supply minerals in the soil.

Working mechanism:

Composting is the process of breaking down organic waste, crop residues and other annual plants. Decomposition occurs due to processes such as oxidation (air), reduction and hydrolysis (water). For a full-fledged fermentation process, it is necessary to provide suitable conditions environment. Compost bacteria produce a large number heat generated during the decomposition process, a temperature of 30 to 60 degrees Celsius (inside the compost heap) is considered a suitable temperature for a normal composting process. Such a high temperature is necessary for the rapid decomposition of waste and contributes to the destruction of cereal weeds, insect larvae and pathogens.

Operating technology:

Dilute 1 kg of product with 20-40 liters of water (without chlorine), treat 5-6 tons of waste (spray once). Install pipes around the perimeter of the compost heap to allow air to enter the layers. After reaching the temperature of 55 ℃-+ 60 ℃ at each point, on the 5th-7th day of the fermentation process, perform a stirring procedure for oxygen supply (for the best effect, repeat this procedure two or three times). If the temperature inside drops, then the fermentation process is completed. Most organic materials take 10-15 days to complete the composting process.

Note:

1. Humidity control:

The initial period - humidity 35-55% (wet crumbly consistency). If the humidity is too high, sawdust or straw can be added to remove excess moisture. If the material contains more than 55% water - add dry wood chips Intermediate period (7-10 days) - increase in temperature, resulting in a decrease in humidity. The end result is a moisture content of 20%, after the end of composting, we recommend that the finished product be decomposed as much as possible within one day for the necessary saturation with moisture.

2. During the composting process, avoid exposure direct sunlight (it is possible to use canopies), which will allow the fermentation process to proceed as quickly as possible. Do not close at night plastic wrap, when using plastic shields, perforate the walls. Provide air exchange in the room.

3. Product in open form store at humidity not more than 10% to avoid premature germination of spores. Vacuum-packed, shelf life is 2 years from the date of manufacture.

Much is said about EM technologies, but still not everyone understands the essence of these drugs. In fact, everything is very simple.

What are EM drugs

Many have heard about humus, but not everyone knows what it is and why it is needed. And even more so, how to be with him. Humus is the organic matter in the soil that contains a complex organic compounds required for plant growth and development. It appears as a result of the work of microorganisms. The more of them, the higher the humus content, the

Microorganisms are found in any soil. Somewhere there are more of them, somewhere less, but they are always and everywhere. Some of them decompose organic residues, others process them into new formations, others loosen the soil, etc. The more diverse the composition, the better.

In conditions middle lane most of the microorganisms die during the long winter. And their number is restored only by August-September. Therefore, special concentrates have been developed, which contain the necessary drugs. Such funds are called EM preparations (“EM” means “effective microorganisms”). The bottles contain yeast, bacteria, enzyme fungi. Depending on the manufacturer, the composition and degree of impact on the soil will vary.

How processing is done

Preparations are applied to the soil in spring, in late April - early May (depending on climatic conditions). Microorganisms "wake up" and begin violent activity at temperatures above +15 degrees. As soon as the thermometer drops below, the bacteria begin to hibernate.

First, a working solution is prepared from the concentrate, which will be used to treat the soil. It is necessary to carefully study the instructions in order to properly prepare EM preparations with your own hands from concentrates, because each manufacturer has its own way: if something is done wrong, the microorganisms will die or remain dormant.

After fertilizing, it is necessary to feed the microbes. They eat only organic residues for food, for example, they will be pleased with last year's tops, grass or foliage, compost, manure.

It will be possible to plant seedlings and sow seeds in a couple of weeks: during this time, the bacteria will get stronger, evenly distributed in the ground, become part of it, and even have time to slightly improve its quality. If you start planting earlier, then it is likely that the bacteria will take useful plants for your food. Too high concentrations can also lead to a similar effect.

How the drugs work

  • Improves soil structure.
  • The percentage of beneficial microorganisms is increasing.
  • The soil becomes healthier, there are no conditions for development in it. Beneficial microbes destroy harmful ones.
  • Increases the resistance of plants to the effects of adverse natural phenomena.
  • Improving mineral composition soils and, as a result, plant nutrition.
  • Productivity and quality of fruits increases.
  • Plant growth is stimulated: they look healthier and stronger, the stems become taller and thicker.

What does the result look like

The revival of the humus layer is visible at first sight. Already in 1, maximum 2 years, the difference will be visible. The soil becomes brighter, darker, and feels fatter to the touch. It is because of the peculiar tone that fertile lands are called chernozems. Also, the beds become looser and lighter, signs of pelleting appear in the soil.

Is it possible to prepare such drugs yourself

Many people prefer to buy ready-made concentrates in specialized stores. However, there are many recipes for how to prepare EM preparations with your own hands. The most commonly used starter cultures are weeds and hay. The former are improvised materials, and the latter is the source of subtillin. Homemade EM preparations, of course, are inferior in efficiency to factory ones, since the set of strains in them is not so diverse. On the other hand, the bacteria have already "acclimatized", so it takes them less time to adapt to new conditions.

herbal infusion

6 buckets of chopped weeds are poured into the barrel, it is advisable to add various medicinal herbs. By the way, they can also grow on the site along with weeds (chamomile, plantain, celandine, etc.). Compost is also added there - 2 buckets and ½ bucket of ash. Everything is filled with water. Infused for 2 weeks. The finished mixture can be used as a fertilizer. The concentrate must be diluted in a ratio of 1:10.

top dressing

Do-it-yourself EM preparations start with sourdough: warm water is poured into a 3-liter jar, a pinch of yeast and 5 tbsp. l. Sahara. The solution must be allowed to ferment, it takes 2-3 days. The finished mash is poured into a 200-liter barrel, add:

  • a shovel of ash (you can use the dry grass left over from burning);
  • ½ bucket of manure;
  • a bucket of rotten leaves or straw;
  • a shovel of compost or earth from the garden;
  • the same amount of sand;
  • 1 liter of kefir, whey or yogurt;
  • the remaining volume is topped up with water.

The mixture should be infused for a week. The contents of the barrel must be periodically mixed. Use as top dressing, dilute in a ratio of 1:2 to 1:10.

rice water

¼ cup of rice is poured into 1 cup of water. The cereal must be thoroughly mixed. When the water becomes whitish, you need to drain it into a separate cup and leave it in a warm room for 5-7 days. After that, it is filtered and milk is added. It should be 10 times more than rice water. The mixture is again infused in a warm place for 5-7 days. The resulting mass (similar to cottage cheese) is removed, and 1 tbsp is added to the remaining mixture. l. Sahara. The concentrate is ready. For use, it must be diluted in a ratio of 1:20.

Subtillin

You can prepare EM preparations with your own hands, which have similar properties to factory preparations. They are used in a similar way. This is an infusion or subtillin.

To prepare it, you need to boil 150 g of rotten, but not moldy hay in 1 liter of water, adding 1 tsp to the container. chalk. When boiling, most of the fungi also die, but the spores of the hay bacillus remain alive. The solution must be placed in the dark warm place. After three days, a film will appear on the surface. It is formed by rod spores. The mother culture is ready. With its help, you can prepare a solution that will be used for processing and watering plants.

The method of preparation of the working preparation. At the site, 1 kg of rotten hay is placed in a wide container, poured into it with a bucket, add 10 tablespoons of chalk or lime (they reduce the level of acidity) and pour in the mother culture. The container is cleaned in a dark place and additionally covered to prevent direct sunlight. After 3 days, the working solution is ready, you can process the plants.

What are solutions used for?

The use of EM preparations is not limited to plant nutrition and soil application. They will be useful for other agricultural purposes as well.

  • Pre-sowing treatment planting material: spraying potatoes, seed soaking, etc.
  • Treatment of plants for the prevention of diseases.
  • Soil treatment for disinfection purposes.
  • To speed up the processes of compost formation.
  • For processing country toilets.

All treatments should be carried out in cloudy, but not rainy weather. The fact is that microorganisms quickly die in direct sunlight, and rain will wash them into the soil. It should also be warm outside. Optimum temperature+18…+20 degrees. In cold weather, microorganisms hibernate.

Also, many manufacturers advise using diluted concentrates not only in the garden, but also in everyday life. For example, the Vostok EM preparation is recommended for indoor treatment in order to prevent the appearance of an unpleasant dust odor, and it also helps in the fight against house mites. Also suitable for processing furniture and household appliances.

industrial production

EM technologies were developed at the end of the last century in Japan. The scientist Higa Tera suggested using these preparations to restore soils damaged by chemical treatments with pesticides and fertilizers, as well as depleted as a result of active farming.

Currently, Russia has launched the production of various concentrates containing microorganisms. The most popular were EM preparations "Siyanie", "Baikal", "Vostok", "Renaissance". They are used for various purposes, many manufacturers share the means for processing the soil, seeds or plants.

Concentrates are produced in the form of dry mixtures, but they are more common in the form of liquids.

Preparation of an EM preparation for irrigation and tillage

Depending on the needs and purpose, industrial concentrates are diluted in different proportions. For irrigation, preparations mixed with water are most often used as follows: 1:1000 or 1:500. For autumn and spring processing soil, when the beds already or not yet have plants, a higher concentration is needed: 1:100.

Each preparation has its own method of preparation, but, as a rule, only the details differ. The main points are the same. However, before use, you must read the instructions and prepare the solution in strict accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations.

All concentrates are diluted in warm water with a temperature of 20-35 degrees. Then a sweet nutrient medium is added to the container. Everything is thoroughly mixed. Sweets are necessary for the adaptation of microorganisms to new conditions. The fact is that molasses, jam or honey are used for artificial nutrition of bacteria. To make it easier for them to change habits, it is necessary to add one of these ingredients to the working solution. Usually, the finished mixture is allowed to brew for several hours, so that the microorganisms finally “wake up” and are evenly distributed in the container.

The composition of the preparations

Concentrates contain various microorganisms. For example, the preparation "EM-1 Baikal" includes 60 strains. All proportions are calculated so that the bacteria do not interfere and do not destroy each other, but form a stable symbiosis. The main groups of microorganisms that are used in EM preparations are:

  • Actinomycetes - synthesize antibiotics and improve the condition of the soil.
  • Yeast - necessary for the production of antibiotics that suppress harmful microorganisms, and biologically active substances that stimulate the growth and development of plants. Yeast also synthesize the substrates necessary for the vital activity of lactic acid bacteria.
  • Lactic acid bacteria. At the hearing of an ordinary resident thanks to the advertising of yogurts and other similar products. bacteria of this type are engaged in the development that inhibits the growth and development of harmful bacteria, and also accelerates the processes of decomposition of organic matter.
  • Fermenting mushrooms decompose organic residues and turn them into available, easily digestible substances for plants.
  • photosynthetic bacteria. This type of microorganism is able to fully provide for itself. They create nutrients from vegetable raw materials and gases. Bacteria synthesize natural sugars, amino and nucleic acids, which are essential food for planting. Also due to the enrichment of the soil beneficial substances other microorganisms also receive sufficient nutrition.

EM preparations are something that is useful to any summer resident.

The natural process of processing organics is accelerated with the help of destructor preparations. They are prepared on the basis of spores of various kinds of effective microorganisms (EM preparations).

Briefly about organic destructors

The preparations are diluted in dechlorinated water - rain, spring or tap water, but settled for 2 days, with a temperature of + 25 ... + 32 ˚ C. Otherwise, "good" bacteria will not multiply. Biological products have varying degrees concentration, which affects the amount of the resulting working solution. Liquid preparations are available in plastic containers. To remove excess air, the bottle is squeezed, while the contents rise to the neck, displacing the air; screw on the lid.

excess air from plastic bottle easy to squeeze out, without it the biological product is well stored

Without access to oxygen, bacteria do not lose viability throughout the entire storage period.

There is a certain sequence of charging the heap with the maturation accelerator:

  • As the heap forms, each layer of organic matter 15–20 cm thick is shed with the preparation (if it is a powder, then it is poured with water).

    Processing of organics with a biological product is carried out in layers

  • Sprinkle with a layer of earth about 5 cm thick or crush with grass.

    From drying out, each treated organic layer is covered with grass or earth.

  • The pile is covered with agrofiber, a film from drying out, because the bacteria "work" only in a humid environment.

    The compost bin is covered with a film, regardless of the degree of filling

The finished pile looks like a layer cake.

Schematically, a compost heap, fertilized in layers, looks like a cake

Liquid preparations

Shake the vial before use. If the contents are poured out completely, the bottle is rinsed with water and the residue is poured into a working solution, which is usually prepared in the proportion of 100 ml of the drug per 10 liters of water.

  • Embiko - per 1 m 3 of organic matter.

    Embiko has a pleasant kefir-silage smell.

  • Ekomik Harvest - consumption: 5 liters per 1 m 2 for each layer of compost; matures 2-4 months.
  • Ekomik Harvest concentrate - the kit includes a bottle with a concentrate, a nutrient medium and a bioadditive. The components are dissolved in 5 liters of water, insist. The working solution is prepared in a standard proportion.

    100 ml of Ekomik Harvest concentrate from a bottle is designed for 5 liters of water

  • Revival - ripening 1–2 months.

    Biopreparation Renaissance is safe for both humans and animals.

  • Gumi-Omi Compostin - 50 ml per bucket of water. Compost matures for 1.5–2 months under an earthen cover, 1–2 months under a dark film.

    The use of compost with Gumi-Omi Compostin significantly reduces the risk of plant damage by fungus.

  • Oksizin - is available in 20 ml bottles with a dropper. Consumption: 40 drops per 1–1.5 l of water for 100 kg of organic matter. The drug is added to water, not vice versa, because there will be strong foaming. Ripening time 3-5 weeks.

    Oksizin is produced on the basis of fermented beets

  • Compostello - 1 package is designed for 1 m 3 . The powder is dissolved in 20 liters of water, infused for 30-45 minutes. The solution is used throughout the day. Effective at +10 °C. The heap matures in 6-8 weeks.

    Compostello "digests" even weed seeds

  • Baikal EM-1 - applied in layers (matures 2–3 months) or once in September on a finished pile. In this case, very warm water is used - approximately + 35 ... + 40 ˚C, the pile is insulated for the winter.

    Baikal EM-1 - a classic example and a representative of the modern generation of concentrates

Last year I started compost heap the second way. In addition to grass and food waste, ¼ of the organic matter was goat droppings. In April, I started using what I got. On top of the heap was covered with a dense crust, under which there was a decent quality compost, though not very crumbly. It was inconvenient to use it in cups, but it fit perfectly into the wells.

Powder preparations

  • EM-Bokashi - based on fermented wheat bran. Consumption: 100 g of powder per 10 kg of raw materials. Ripening lasts 2-3 summer weeks.
  • Dr. Robik 209 is based on soil bacteria, so the organic matter powdered with Robik is sprinkled with earth. Effective at +5 ˚C. Consumption: 1 sachet (60 g) per 1–1.5 m 2 layer, collected within a month.

Homemade Organics Destructors

Homemade bokashi is cooked on rye or wheat bran. In 1 liter of water, dilute 2 tbsp. spoons of the EM drug (Baikal, Radiance) and 1 tbsp. a spoonful of sugar or jam. The solution is kept for 30 minutes, the bran is moistened to a lumpy state, the mixture is put into a bag, tied tightly, releasing air, left to ripen for 7–14 days in a dark, warm place. The finished mass has a fruity smell. It is dried, used in the same way as the product from the manufacturer.

Folk remedies:

  • Herbal infusion - combine grass, chicken manure and water in a ratio of 5:2:20. They insist a week.
  • Yeast infusion - a mixture of 3 liters of warm water, 0.5 cups of sugar, 1 teaspoon of any yeast is fermented, adjusted with water to a volume of 15 liters. To maintain the balance of calcium, the pile is first poured with ash infusion: three liter jars ash insist day in 10 liters of warm water, filter. On a bucket of water take 1 glass of infusion.
  • Urine of animals and humans, diluted four times with water.

I replace the nutrient medium (the earth for the organic layer - auth.) potato broth, nitrogen - urea. I put half the volume of nettles in a pile, pour water from the eggplant over the palm of my hand, in which the potatoes were boiled (starch), and, sprinkling with urea, I shove the rest of the grass on top. And so every time I arrive, I bring 2 liters of compost tea with me and spill it. Compost matures without manure and has no less nutritional value.

Bacteria can also be a friend of man, if you use their activities for good. Biological preparations to accelerate the maturation of compost are proof of this.

The third example of the use of beneficial bacteria in the garden, thanks to the introduction of biological products, is quite traditional. Well, how can gardeners not apply soil bacteria to their intended purpose- creating soil!

It is known that conventionally prepared compost matures for 2-3 years. Therefore, gardeners usually build three compost heaps in the garden at once. One pile is filled with fresh grass and other organic waste. The second heap, built earlier, reaches the condition. From the third heap with ripe compost, you can take ready-made humus. Everything is simple, and - troublesome.

However, if you use biopreparations (also containing soil bacteria, but other than those used to clean the toilet and septic tank) when preparing compost, then the process of processing organic residues will be much faster. And also - there will be no unpleasant smell!

Biological products to speed up composting, similarly, need to be diluted in warm water and let it sit for a bit. Pour them into the compost heap, and the work of bacteria begins.

You can even make composted grass rot in a month! Of course, there is usually more than one quickly rotting finely chopped lawn grass in the compost heap, and it will take more time to process the organic residues of larger fractions.

If you look at a compost heap that rots on its own and a similar compost heap treated with introduced bacteria, you will immediately understand where the bacteria are more active.

Naturally, in the case of adding biological products to the compost heap, for the effective course of the process, it is necessary to monitor the compost: periodically ventilate it, prevent the prepared compost mass from overheating and drying out. And the beneficial bacteria introduced into the compost with biological products will not let you down - they will provide a phenomenal speed of compost preparation and high quality humus!

The finished compost, ready for spreading into holes or for mulching plantings, has a uniform appearance, is quite dry and has a pleasant earthy smell.
