Recommended Application Protocol

Step 1: Soil Preparation

Mix <strong>EM® Bokashi</strong> into potato beds 2 weeks before planting. This activates the soil and prevents rotting of seed tubers.

Step 2: Disease Control

Regularly spray <strong>EM-1®</strong> or <strong>EM-5®</strong> during the growing season. This helps ward off Late Blight (Phytophthora) by occupying the leaf surface with beneficial microbes.

Step 3: Post-Harvest

Potatoes grown with EM® typically have firmer skins and rot less during storage, fetching better market prices for farmers.
