David Chai is the Director of Natural Resources at the Four Seasons Resort Hualalai on Kailua Kona, on the island of Hawaii. He heard about EM® usage when I spoke at the Kona Chamber of Commerce in 2006 on EM Technology®. It seemed their anchialine pond system was going downhill after the aeration pump had shut down, and nitrogen levels were rising even with water exchange. He started using EM•1® at our recommended rate of 1 part EM to 5,000-:10,000 part water for a couple of months. He reported in January 2007 that he saw positive results on the smaller anchialine ponds. One pond, in particular, had algae growth over the surface. A few weeks later, there was no algae growth over the pond. In six weeks, it was visible that about six inches of sludge were digested, exposing more rocks than previously seen. The grass carps also looked healthier than before.

Fusarium wilt of lettuce is caused by a fungus. It causes lettuce to wilt, turn yellow, develop tip burn, and die. Once introduced into a field, the fungus will probably remain indefinitely. At this time, the only effective control measure is to avoid planting in the infested fields for at least several years.
