South Africa: EM® have been successfully applied all over the world for more than 4 decades and in South Africa for more than 2 decades and is supported by vast bodies of knowledge, research and practical experiences. The following is a selection.
ZZ2 Natuurboerdery®
ZZ2 has a long history with EM® Technology dating back to 2001. EM® forms a crucial part of the ZZ2 Natuurboerdery® concept. Prof Prinsloo was a founding member of NEM, an entity established jointly with by ZZ2 which became the vehicle through which various Nature Farming, and composting methods and processes were researched and optimised to arrive at the techniques that are currently implemented by ZZ2 today. A brief summary of the history of Natuurboerdery® incorporating EM® at ZZ2 can be found at Soil and Plant Nutrition (zz2.co.za)

Maize
This replicated trial (Daly M. , 2015) in Canterbury, New Zealand was designed to determine the effectiveness of EM® treatments, against a control on Maize, at Ashcroft Farm at Carew. The aim of this trial was to test EM® on Maize yield, and in particular compare a number of variations of EM®, including some combinations with Nitrogen.
- EM® gave a significant and economic yield response when applied to a Maize Crop
- EM-RTU, our standard recommended product, was the best performing treatment
Spinach, Cabbage and Radish
This series of published greenhouse trials (Ryang, Lim, & Kim, 1995) was conducted by the Institute of Agribiology, Academy of Agricultural Services in Pyongyang, Korea. The trial was designed to look at the effects on yield and quality of some vegetable crops. The results found that the yields of spinach grown in glasshouses were increased by 10.4 – 24.8 % with the addition of EM®. And the yields of Chinese cabbage and radish in field in autumn were increased to 23.5 – 57.9 % 38.8 – 47.2 %, respectively. EM® Improved the taste and nutrient value when applied to vegetable crops, by increasing the number of vitamins, sugar, protein, and amino acids.
