Abstract: A pot experiment was conducted in the screen house of the Teaching and Research Farm of Rivers State University (RSU)from March to July, 2018 to determine the effects of Effective Microorganisms Activated Solution (EMAS) and organic materials (poultry manure (PM) and dry grasses (DG)) on microbial population and activities. The six treatments made up of 2 levels of EMAS and 3 levels of organic materials were replicated three times and arranged in a Completely Randomized Design (CRD). The treated soils were incubated for 4 weeks and samples collected for microbial count and carbon dioxide evolution. Microbial activities were monitored weekly for 4 weeks. The results show a significant difference (p
