Fertilizer description
The Baikal product contains a self-regulating symbiotic complex of living microorganisms, thanks to which a natural balance between crops and soil is achieved. An exceptionally organic basis of fertilizer allows you to significantly improve the properties of the soil, restore regenerative processes in it, and, accordingly, grow a good, high-quality crop. Baikal EM-1 is the most successful domestic development in the field of microbiology. The drug is a concentrated aqueous solution containing a whole complex of specially grown live microorganisms:
- lactic acid bacteria - restore chemical-depleted soil, prevent the growth of weeds;
- nitrogen-fixing bacteria - retain nitrogen in the soil, prevent its evaporation, accelerate the development of cultivated plants;
- photosynthetic bacteria - regenerate tissue cultures at the cellular level;
- yeast - promotes the production of substances that protect plantings from diseases.
When interacting with soil, these organisms begin to produce physiologically active components, enzymes and amino acids, creating ideal conditions for plant development. Unlike mineral and pure organic dressings, the long-term use of which depletes the soil, Baikal EM-1 recreates the natural nutrient medium due to its regenerating properties.
All organisms present in the preparation should normally live in high-quality soil suitable for agriculture, therefore nothing superfluous and harmful with Lake Baikal is introduced into the soil. On the contrary, for the depleted soil, he is a real doctor who does not heal the symptoms, but eliminates the cause of the disease, restoring the natural healthy microenvironment. The strains of beneficial bacteria for the creation of the preparation Baikal EM-1 were taken from ecologically clean soils of Transbaikalia.
On their basis, microbiologists have grown more than 80 species of various useful microorganisms that are lacking in good fertile soil. One liter of the product contains approximately 1 billion effective living bacteria, as well as the remnants of the environment in which they were grown. So, in fact, fertilizer is a real "living" organism.
How to use Baikal
The drug is a very high concentration solution, the use of which requires do-it-yourself dilution in the appropriate proportion. The rules for the preparation and the method of using the Baikal water solution depends on many factors, as well as the purpose of feeding:
- To increase germination, the agent is applied to the soil in spring, as soon as the soil has warmed up to 12 ° C. At a lower temperature, fertilization is not recommended - beneficial bacteria will freeze. For this purpose, a standard solution is prepared at a concentration of 1: 1000.
- During autumn tillage, a more concentrated solution of 1: 100 is applied.A plot of land, together with traditional organic fertilizing, is dug up, after which it is watered with Baikal at the rate of 3 l / 1 sq. m of land.
- For processing seedlings, a solution of 1: 2000 is used. It is recommended to water and spray the first shoots with Baikal alternately. Alternatively, the first time the seedlings can be treated with a solution of 1: 2000, and then once a week fertilized with a stronger solution - 1: 1000.
- For regular watering of indoor flowers, the solution is diluted in a ratio of 1: 2000. It is recommended to feed indoor flowers with a product in a concentration of 1: 1000 no more than 1 time / 3 months, and it is better to do this during the budding period.
- For fruit trees and shrubs, foliar feeding in spring, mid-season, and autumn is relevant. With Baikal, diluted in a ratio of 1: 2000, foliage and trunks are abundantly sprayed.
- The tool can fertilize the soil during loosening, both in spring and throughout the season. For direct application to the soil, the drug is diluted 1: 1000, and allowed to brew for about 6 hours. Some gardeners believe that a freshly prepared solution is immediately ready for use, but this is not the case. The product needs to stand for several hours for bacteria to multiply - this solution is more effective.
- Thanks to the use of the drug, you can easily prepare compost with your own hands. This will require the remains of any organic products, some fresh earth, and a concentrated EM solution in a 1: 100 ratio. All components must be laid in layers, and then the prepared solution is poured over the compost heap.
When preparing solutions with your own hands, it should be borne in mind that the fertilizer contains exclusively live bacteria, and therefore its preparation requires strict adherence to the proportions that are indicated in the instructions for use of the drug.

Usefulness and benefits of fertilization
It is difficult to overestimate the benefits and high efficiency from the use of the product. One of its main advantages is the complete absence of genetically modified organisms. In addition, Baikal EM-1 has the following properties:
- stimulates the course of physiological processes in plant cells, which has a positive effect on the growing season - fruits are set and ripen earlier;
- stimulates the process of photosynthesis and chlorophyll accumulation;
- retains useful components in the soil, in particular nitrogen;
- promotes the dissolution of mineral and organic compounds, which are then much more easily assimilated by crops;
- accelerates seed germination, increases seedling germination;
- increases the immunity of plants, makes them resistant to diseases, frosts and droughts;
- improves soil properties: increases its air permeability, accelerates the process of humus formation;
- slightly increases the temperature of the soil, which accelerates the development of crops: seedlings appear earlier, the root system develops faster, flowering and ovary occur more intensively;
- improves the quality and taste of the fruit.
In comparison with similar top dressing, Baikal EM-1 compares favorably with the following positive aspects:
- by accelerating the growth of crops, it allows you to harvest several crops, and more efficiently use the sown area;
- due to its universal application, the drug can be used simultaneously for all plants: garden, garden, indoor;
- the use of the drug allows you to eliminate unpleasant odors from the decomposition of organic matter - if you pour the compost with Baikal, then the characteristic smell of fermentation and decay will disappear;
- the introduction of the Baikal preparation into the soil allows to reduce additional mineral fertilizing by more than 50%, and to improve the physical and chemical parameters by 40%;
- thanks to the use of the product, a significant increase in productivity is noted: grain crops - by 10 centners per hectare, root crops - by 60 centners, corn and sunflowers - by 20 centners;
- is environmentally friendly, its use does not disturb the ecosystem;
- promotes the cultivation of environmentally friendly products;
- easy to use: the drug is easy to prepare with your own hands - just dilute with water in the correct proportion.
For what crops is it suitable
Baikal is a universal fertilizer. It can be successfully used to protect the garden, vegetable garden, and even for indoor plants. From garden crops, Baikal is good for fertilizing all types of cabbage, tomatoes, peppers, root crops. For a high yield of these vegetables, it is recommended to apply the first top dressing to the soil in the spring at the pre-sowing stage at a concentration of 1: 100.
After germination, seedlings of vegetable crops are treated with Baikal by spraying and simultaneously embedding the product in the ground. For spraying seedlings of pepper, cabbage, tomatoes, a solution at a concentration of 1: 1000 is used. Spraying is carried out twice: before planting in the soil, and then after 9 days. The approximate consumption of the solution is 20 l / 1 are. The same principle can be used to feed vegetables grown in greenhouses.
Root crops: potatoes, carrots, beets, as well as onions and tomatoes still need to be processed twice during the growing season, cabbage and peppers - once. All crops should be treated with Baikal at a concentration of 1: 1000; only for potatoes, the concentration of the solution should be increased to 1: 250. You can fertilize berry bushes with an EM solution according to the same rules as vegetables. The most effective treatment is considered to be at the stage of the ovary and initial maturity, so it is advisable not to miss it. Fertilization of shrubs is carried out by watering with a solution in a ratio of 1: 1000 twice a season. Pour 2 buckets of the diluted product onto one bush.
Spraying shrubs involves completely wetting the branches and foliage. It is recommended to periodically fertilize berry bushes from May to August - earlier spraying can cause premature bud development, and later it will interfere with preparing for winter. The use of the drug contributes to the high yield of strawberries, and especially strawberries. Spraying these plants with a solution at a concentration of 1: 1000 throughout the season, starting after the snow melts, significantly increases the quantity and quality of berries, increases the resistance of crops to putrefactive infections.
It is recommended to fertilize fruit trees with Baikal 2-3 times per season. Treatment of trees consists in spraying the foliage, and thoroughly watering the bark. For this, they even make small holes in the upper layer of the bark, into which the solution is poured. Trees, like shrubs, are cultivated from May to the end of August. When planting seedlings with a solution in a concentration of 1: 100, the bottom of the pit is abundantly watered. It is also good to put compost under the root in a layer of 5-10 cm.
Lake Baikal can be used to water lawns and front gardens. For these purposes, the drug is diluted in a ratio of 1: 2000 (approximately 1 tsp / 7 l of water). Lawn grass is watered 2-3 times / season, flowers - during germination, and during flowering. The fertilizer is best suited for perennials. Its introduction into the soil in autumn kills pathogenic flora, which facilitates the wintering period of flowers.
Houseplants will also be happy to use the drug. For watering indoor flowers, the agent is diluted in the same way as for garden flowers. It is recommended to fertilize indoor flowers 1-2 times / 7 days, preferably in the evening.
Helpful hints:
- It is possible to increase the efficiency and beneficial properties of the Baikal preparation with the help of sweet products: honey, sucrose, glucose. It is an excellent breeding ground for bacteria. A couple of tablespoons of honey, or other sweet product, is placed in the prepared solution, and insisted for about a week. It is better to add honey in small portions - one spoon at a time.
- Before spraying, decoctions and infusions of useful plants can be added to the Baikal solution, and thereby increase the effectiveness of the drug. An additional component can be a tincture of garlic, aloe, chamomile, or plantain.
