Step-by-Step Maize Protocol

Step 1: Seed Treatment

Soak maize seeds in a 1:1,000 solution of EM-1® for 30 minutes before planting. This increases germination rates and early root vigor.

Step 2: Planting Fertilization

Apply <strong>1.85 - 3 tons/ha</strong> of <strong>EM® Bokashi</strong> in the seed furrow or planting hole. This provides slow-release nutrients and inoculates the rhizosphere.

Step 3: Crop Maintenance

Spray <strong>EM-1® (Activated)</strong> or <strong>EM-5® (Natural Pesticide)</strong> every 1-2 weeks. This suppresses pests like stalk borers and strengthens the plant defenses.
