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 36 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.
