Love for Growing Tomatoes
Okinawa, Japan
Located in Nanjo City, Okinawa Prefecture, Japan, Mini Tomatoes and Midi Tomatoes have been growing in Arakaki Farm for approximately 30 years with the help of EM Technology in several areas such as soil improvement, foliar application, fertilizer, irrigation, raising seedlings, greenhouse cleaning and antioxidant.



Activated EM・1 is applied to the soil and left to undergo a soil solarization process.
This is carefully treated for over half year, as a result, pests that could enter from the outside are repelled.
Even when they operate with a no-tillage policy, they do not have cropping problems for continuously cropping nor diseases.

A 36 year old greenhouse has been maintained using EM Technology to keep it clean, virtually free of rust, and filled with antioxidant rich air.
Midi tomatoes are remarkably sweet and very popular in hotel restaurants, which is why they are grown with great care in greenhouses.
