Here is a handy conversion table to help you figure out dilution rates.

It’s important to get enough of a dilution with water in order to facilitate proper coverage and not overwhelm plants with certain organic fertilizers and microbial inoculants.

Liquid Fish: foliar spray; Sea Minerals: soil application
1:50 ratio equals:– 20 ml (4 teaspoons per 1 liter of water
– 80 ml per 1 gal (4 liters)
– 1 liter per 12.5 gal (50 liters)
– 1 gallon (4 liter) per 50 gal (200 liters)
EM/Activated EM: soil application; Sea Minerals: foliar spray
1:100 ratio equals:– 10 ml (2 teaspoons) per 1 liter of water
– 40 ml per 1 gal (4 liters)
– 1 liter per 25 gal (100 liters)
– 1 gallon (4 liters) per 100 gal (200 liters)
Liquid Kelp: soil application and foliar spray;
EM/Activated EM: foliar spray (outdoors, mature plants)
1:250 ratio equals:– 4 ml (just under 1 tsp) per 1 liter of water
– 16 ml (just over 1 Tbsp per gallon) per 1 gal (4 liters)
– 1 liter per 62.5 gal (250 liters)
– 1 gallon (4 liters) per 250 gal (1000 liters)
EM/Activated EM: foliar spray (greenhouses, houseplants)
1:1000 ratio equals:– 1 ml (a few drops) per 1 liter of water
– 4 ml (just under 1 tsp per gallon) per 1 gal (4 liters)
– 10 ml (2 tsp) per 2.5 gal/10 liters
– 1 liter per 250 gal (1000 liters)
– 1 gal (4 liters) per 1000 gal (4000 liters)

Notes

  • Activated EM may continue to off-gas, especially after transport and during warm weather. Loosen cap to relieve pressure in bottle as needed, then close tightly again.
  • Yeasty-white particles floating at the surface of EM / Activated EM are normal and do not affect quality.
  • Avoid spraying EM / AEM on blossoms and very young, tender seedlings/plant tissues.
  • Store all products undiluted, tightly sealed, and protected from direct sunlight, heat, and frost. Mix only what you need that day—diluted mixed product does not keep long.
  • For any questions at all, just call or drop me a line!
