【Goals】
OVercome continuous cropping obstacle＋reduce soil-borne pest disease＋balance nutrients supplement＋soil activation
【Descriptions】
Soil is the most important nutrients supplier to the plants. Most of the time, soil environment is the main factor causing pest and disease. Only healthy soil can grow healthy plants, thus, sustainable production comes from soil quality maintenance.

4) 將各種資材均勻耕入土壤後，淹水澆濕；14～20天後再行播種或定植。
【Special Attention】
-Important：To avoid the roots harm by the heat during fermentation, do not immediately seedling or planting after manure application. The numbers of fermentation days depends on the temperature of the growing environment. Furthermore, at least 14 days or above will be best for planting while the bad germs had been destroyed and the beneficial bacteria is strong.
-Add-in some lime powder for soil pH adjustment before using Geo-EM. pH6 will be best for crop growing and probiotics.
