Who invented EM-1® Agricultural Microbial Inoculant?
EM-1® Agricultural Microbial Inoculant was not invented; it is not an engineered product. The potential of the naturally existing microbes and their coexistence abilities were “discovered” and developed by Dr. Teruo Higa who is professor of horticulture at the University of the Ryukyus in Okinawa, Japan. Dr. Higa pioneered the multiple applcation of mixed microbial cultures in horticulture.
