Fermented plant extract formulas and uses vary greatly. These are liquid products. They are similar to tinctures but without the alcohol. Much like bokashi, they, too, are fermented organic matter. A microbial starter, some type of sugar, some type of plant material, and water are mixed into an anaerobic container and allowed to ferment. These fermented materials have bioactive compounds in them and are non-alcoholic. The materials used could include any part of a plant, branches, fruit, or leaves.

For soil, foliar feeding, and other uses, EM•5 is used as a foliar spray and for inoculating the soil. It is a more potent version of Activated EM•1 and lasts much longer. It can be made at home using simple ingredients with EM•1, which consists of naturally occurring microbes (lactic acid bacteria, yeast, and photosynthetic bacteria) that are usually not found together. EM•5 is used to directly apply to plants (avoid the flowers in some instances) and to condition the soil.
