Note:
  1. A dilution of 1:10 means 1part EMAS : 10parts Water
In a 1-litre spray bottle: 1000ml / 10 = 100ml
Therefore for every 1-litre Water, use 100ml of EMAS

  1. A dilution of 1:50 means 1part EMAS : 50parts Water
In a 1-litre spray bottle: 1000ml / 50 = 20ml
Therefore for every 1-litre Water, use 100ml of EMAS

  1. For plants, it is important to use a maximum dilution of 1:500 since too much EMAS can burn the plant.
           In a 1-litre spray bottle: 1000ml / 500 = 2ml
         Spraying is recommended in the early morning or late evening when 
          the stomata of the leaves are open.

  1. Use only 1:10,000  dilution for fish ponds and aquariums in order not to increase the pH of water for the fishes drastically. For every 1,000-litres of water, use 100ml of EMAS.
