Soil Microbes

Discover the Power of Effective Microbes for Healthier Soils and Plants.

Our Soil Microbes Page showcases two collections of products that utilize Effective Microbe Technology developed by Dr. Teruo Higa, a Japanese microbiologist. 

The Soil Probiotics Collection is a practical solution to enhance soil health and plant growth. By leveraging the power of beneficial soil microbes, these soil-based probiotics improve soil fertility, boost plant vitality, and create a rich and balanced ecosystem, all of which are essential for robust plant growth. 

Similarly, the Compost Accelerator is formulated with Effective Microbe technology to accelerate the breakdown of organic matter and helps create nutrient-dense compost for your garden. By harnessing the power of these microbes, you can transform waste into a valuable resource and support the health of your plants and soil.

Effective Microorganisms (EM) are a globally recognized group of beneficial microorganisms that play a pivotal role in promoting soil health, plant growth, and environmental sustainability. These naturally occurring microbes, including bacteria, yeast, and fungi, are commonly found in healthy soils and other natural environments. When applied in agriculture and gardening, EM solutions have proven to restore degraded soils, enhance crop yields, and reduce the reliance on synthetic fertilizers and pesticides. The adoption of EM technology is a cornerstone of organic farming and sustainable agriculture practices, and its effectiveness and environmental friendliness have been acknowledged worldwide.

Dr. Higa's groundbreaking research revolutionized how we view soil health and plant nutrition, emphasizing the crucial role of beneficial microbes in fostering vibrant ecosystems. His vision extended beyond mere agricultural practices and sought to promote harmony between humanity and the natural world. By harnessing the power of EM solutions, farmers and gardeners worldwide have restored degraded soils, increased crop yields, and reduced reliance on synthetic inputs.

In addition to his work with Effective Microbes, Dr Teruo Higa has also been involved in various other research projects and initiatives related to environmental sustainability and organic farming. He is a recipient of numerous awards and honours for his contributions to microbiology and sustainable agriculture, including the prestigious Ramon Magsaysay Award for Community Leadership. Today, his legacy lives on through the continued use and development of Effective Microbe technology, which is helping to promote healthier soils, plants, and ecosystems worldwide.
