WHAT IS EMAS? 
E = Effective 
M = Microorganism 
A = Activated 
S = Solution
🔹A microbial Inoculate in extended form.
🔹EMAS can be used for many purposes in the same way as EM1 .
🔹EMAS is much cheaper than EM1. Microbial activity is higher than EM1 if used within 1 month.
🔹The quality can differ according to the materials and condition of making EMAS.
PREPARATION OF EMAS:-
Preparation of 1 litre of EMAS 
Buy only original EM-1 from reputable dealers beware of counterfeit and fake EM1.
🔹50 ml of EM1 +
