Effective Microorganism (EM) as Biofungicide for Rubber

Soil as a foundation of life provides nutrients to plants. Although often neglected, soil plays a critical role in ensuring high yield in crops and plants.

Indigenous substrates containing effective microorganisms (EMs) as biofertilizers and biofungicides against Phytopthora palmivora, an organism that causes several diseases in plants that greatly affect yields of budded rubber seedlings. Its effects are comparable with commercial synthetic fertilizers and pesticides.
