FERMENTED PLANT EXTRACT WITH EM TECHNOLOGY

     

     EM-FPE contains bioactive substances and minerals from plant which are extracted through a fermentation process. It works overtime through biological process and hence regular applications are required. It is not harmful to plants and animals. It has no overdose and with excessive applications the vigor of plants is enhanced by the absorption of EM derivatives and developing antioxidants within the plant. This enhances the ability of plants to resist the influence of pest and diseases. Though EM-FPE takes time to develop beneficial effects, its use will certainly enhance the quality of the crop and environment.

Fermented plant extract is made from fresh aromatic plants. This contains bio active substances, organic acids, minerals and other organic compounds which are extracted from plants through fermentation. FPE is  used as plant activator and use to PREVENT pest and diseases.
