More Yield • Better Plant Health • Stronger Recovery After Stress
Many crops are in the ground now, but plenty of paddocks still feel like they’re stuck in second gear. Dry winds, patchy moisture, cold nights, or slow canopy growth can stall good potential.
This is where EMNZ biological tools shine. Across cereals, maize, and fodder crops, we consistently see:
-
Higher yields
-
Better plant health and grain/DM quality
-
Faster recovery after stress
-
Improved nitrogen efficiency
✔ A. Enhance Yield from Existing Crops
You don’t need to change your system — you can lift production from what you already have.
Fodder Beet
Across five trials, EM products have delivered an average 19% yield increase, worth hundreds of dollars per hectare in extra feed.
💡 One Canterbury trial delivered an extra 4.2 t DM/ha, worth around $1,200/ha, from a single EM application.
Recommended product:
👉 Plant-Stim (4–5 L/ha at canopy closure)

Maize
Independent trials show EM products boost yield and nitrogen efficiency.
💡 In the Waikato, EM Fert Enhance lifted maize yield by 4.1 t DM/ha, returning over $1,000/ha in profit.
Recommended products:
👉 EM Fert Enhance (10 kg/ha with fertiliser)
👉 EM Soil & Crop (10–20 L/ha V4–V6)
Cereals (Wheat, Barley, Oats)
Plant-Stim, EM Soil & Crop, and EM Amino all delivered statistically higher yields and stronger grain weights in independent and on-farm trials.
💡 One Canterbury wheat trial saw +2.14 t/ha from EM Soil & Crop.
Recommended products:
👉 EM Soil & Crop (10 L/ha early)
👉 Plant-Stim (5 L/ha GS21–25)
🌱 B. Build Better Plant Health & Soil Function
What EM Soil & Crop Does
EM Soil & Crop improves the engine room of the crop:
-
Builds beneficial soil biology
-
Improves nutrient availability and uptake
-
Recycles organic matter
-
Boosts root architecture and soil structure
-
Supports natural N-fixing and P/K unlocking
What Plant-Stim Does
Plant-Stim is a natural biostimulant that:
-
Boosts photosynthesis and Brix
-
Supports natural hormones for growth
-
Increases root and leaf mass
-
Helps crops perform under non-ideal conditions
-
Improves nutrient and foliar absorption
👉 Great where you want to drive plant performance quickly, especially after stress.
💪 C. Help Crops Recover After Weather Stress
Wind-burned, dry-checked, or slow crops can bounce back fast when biology and plant metabolism are switched on.
💡 A dry-stressed Canterbury lucerne paddock recovered with Plant-Stim and delivered 50% more yield than an untreated strip.
Best combo for stressed crops:
1️⃣ EM Soil & Crop — rebuild roots & biology
2️⃣ Plant-Stim — drive canopy & recovery
