UNIT OF COMPETENCY: PRODUCE ORGANIC CONCOCTIONS AND EXTRACTS

ORGANIC AGRICULTURE TECHNOLOGIES:

1. INDIGENOUS MICRO ORGANISMS (IMO)


- Revive soil nutrients. It speeds
growth of plants.
- Speed up composting works like
“vaccinating” against sickness,
illness and weeds.
- These are present in the soil but
have deteriorated due to many
factors.

How to make the concoction:


1. Put cooked/steamed rice in a wooden
box or perforated plastic tray that is 81/2” x 11” x 3” or a length of a bamboo pole
open or split open on one side. Make sure there Is enough moisture in the box. Fill
half of the container. Do not compress.
2. Cover the box, tray or bamboo with a clean sheet of paper and tie with a string. Label
the box indicating when concoction was prepared and the day it will be harvested.
3. Cover and wrap with plastic to keep out rainwater, protect from wild rats or small
rodents that may interfere, or destroy its contents.
4. Collect from forest floors, leaf molds, bamboo plantation, rice paddy or coconut husk.
5. In 3-5 days, take the rice along with the white molds that formed on top of it.
Disregard the black molds.
6. Place in a plastic container/jar the moldy rice and mix with 1 kilo of molasses or
crude sugar.
7. Cover the jar with a clean sheet of paper and tie with a string. |Place in a cool and
shaded place. After 7 days this will yield a mud like juice.
8. How to use concoction:
a. Mix 2 tablespoons of the juice to 1 liter of water.
b. Spray on soil and plants.

2. FERMENTED PLANT JUICE (FPJ)


- There are a lot of enzymes in leaves
that enhances plant growth; and
promote photosynthesis

How to make the concoction:


1. Use any green colored leaves such as kangkong, kamote tops, kalabasa, alugbati tops,
bamboo shoots and other fast growing plants. Fresh, juicy, succulent leaves are best.
Some suggestions are banana stem, water spinach, bamboo shoots, green grasses,
bamboo leaves and duck weed or azola. Cut young banana trunk (cardava). Collect
before sunrise. Avoid collecting after excessive rain. Quickly snap the growing points
of the plants. Baby fruits can be used to promote growth.
2. Chop 2 kilo plants and mix 1 kilo of crude sugar in a large basin. Place in a clay jar or
plastic container. Put a rock on the top of a jar and wait for the ¾ of the contents to
settle at the bottom. After five hours and remove the rock and cover the jar with a
clean sheet of paper and tie with a string. Put the jar/plastic in a cool and shaded
place. Fermentation will be complete in seven days.
3. This will yield 2 ½ liters of juice when the banana trunk is used. Filter to separate
sludge.

APPLICATION:
- Apply using 2 tablespoons of FPJ/1.0-liter water.
- Apply directly to leaves of plants when sun is not hot. Before sunrise or 2 hours before
sunset.
- Plant material can be use as animal feed or compost. FPJ should have a pleasant smell
and sweet, tangy taste. Keep foe about one year.

POINTS TO REMEMBER:
Do not wash the material.
Seal the container with clean sheet of paper at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight.
Solution is ready in seven days. Strain and transfer in a clean container.
Drain the liquid and place in plastic or glass bottles (always leave about 1/3 of bottle
empty so the IMO’s can breathe)
IMPORTANT: Do not tighten bottle lid for 2 weeks to allow gasses to escape and avoid a sticky
explosion!

Note: Wait till the tiny bubbles disappear then close the
container tightly. If you observed undissolved sugar at the
bottom, it means the fermentation did not take place. Extend
for another day and add a little water to reactivate.

3. ORIENTAL HERBAL NUTRIENT (OHN)


Natural pest repellant. It is used throughout the early,
vegetative and change over period and fruiting stages.
Is a very important input in natural farming.
Helps to develop the immune system of plants and animals.

How to make the concoction:


Ingredients:
8 kilo crushed ginger for plants/garlic for animals
2 kilo moscuvado sugar
10 liters of gin or liquor 30-40 proof
Use ceramic or glass jar

1. Divide container into three parts. Mix ginger/garlic and moscuvado sugar together preferably
by hand and put inside jar. Cover and seal. Ferment for seven days.
2. after seven days add 10 liters of gin. Cover and seal. Decant liquid after ten days. First
extraction is good for animals. Second extraction is good for plants. Just add gin same amount
taken from first extraction. You may add fresh or dry chili, neem fruit, curry fruit, makabuhay,
marigold for stronger potency and repeat same process the third time. And continue to ferment
for ten days.
3. Together with other mixtures spray on plants every week when they weaken or start to flower.

How to use concoction:


1. Mix the following
- 2 tablespoons of OHN to 1 liter of water.
2. Add to the IMO and FPJ mixture and spray together on the leaves and soil every week.

4. FERMENTED FRUIT JUICE (FFJ)


To sweeten the fruit (Potassium)
It increases plant nutrition through leaves and roots with potassium
factor.

HOW TO MAKE CONCOCTION:


1. Prepare 1 kilo sweet fruits to 1 kilo brown sugar; you may
use molasses. Suggested materials include banana, papaya,
pineapple, mango, jack fruit, star fruit, guava, pumpkin etc.
(citrus fruits are not recommended). Matured squash can also
be used. Recommended best mixture is banana 3kg, papaya
3kg, and pumpkin 3kg. rule of thumb-fermented fruit juice
from tomatoes fed to tomatoes is just like feeding breast milk
to the baby!
2. Ratio 1:1 Put 1 kilo sweet fruit inside the clay jar/plastic container & add 1 kilo of crude
sugar. Best prepared in the evening to prevent interference from flying insect.
3. Cover with a clean sheet of paper and tie with a string and label the jar indicating the date
it was prepared. Place in a cool and shaded place. Ferment for 7 days.
4. This will make approximately 1 ½ liters of juice. Drain the liquid and place in plastic
bottles (always leave about 1/3 of bottle empty so IMOs
can breathe).

How to use concoction:

For Plants:
Apply using 1 tablespoon of FFJ/1.0 liter of water. Apply directly
to leaves of plants when sun is not out. Ass to the IMO and FPJ
mixture and spray together with the leaves and soil of fruit bearing
trees or during vegetative and reproductive stages.
For Animals:
Mix 2 tablespoons of the juice to 1 liter of water. This is also good for human consumption.

IMPORTANT: Do not tighten bottle lid for 2 weeks following bottling to allow gasses to escape
and avoid a sticky explosion! Solid material can be used as animal feed or compost. FFJ should
have a pleasant smell and sweet, tangy taste. Keeps for about a year.

Other:
Use FFJ to reduce latrine smell. Use 3 spoons/10 liters while cleaning. Pour 2-4 spoons directly
down toilet to help septic system.
POINT TO REMEMBER:
Chlorophyll in leaves does dissolve in oil or water. It can dissolve only with very weak alcohol.
There are lot of enzymes in leaves, when enzymes are mixed with brown sugar or molasses they
ferment through osmosis pressure and in the process we get the liquid or juice. Small fruits
fermented in brown sugar are used to promote growth. Get the little fruit and feed back to the
tree to make fruits a lot larger. You can also use the flowers or blooms of acacia and flowers that
bees loves.

It helps in the digestion of animal and plants nutrients. It resists plant diseases and protects plant
nutrients. It protects plants from insects. It speeds
harvesting. It is used as plant growth hormones. Spray to
leaves and soil.

5. FISH AMINO ACID (FAA)


Make nitrate from fish. It contains abundant amount of
nutrients and various types of amino acid.

1. Put whole fish or bones, gills and guts, scales, tails,


etc. in a glass/plastic container. Wash, crush live
snail or kuhol (eggs can also be used) and place in a
container. Pestle or crush materials. Don’t use
hands. Add the same amount of molasses or
Muscovado sugar. Mix sugar in ¾ container with
fish ingredients then remaining molasses. Prepare
at night to prevent flies from breeding in the
concoction.
2. Cover and keep in a cool dry place or shaded area.
Drain to extract liquid after 10 to 15 days. Transfer
liquid into a clean plastic bottles. Wait till bubbles
disappear before sealing the cover and storing.
Always leave about ¾ of bottle empty so IMO can breathe.

CALCIUM PHOSPHATE Ca-P (ANIMAL BONE)


Induces flowering, prevent overgrowth. For older plants, it increases calcium factor on roots and
leaves. Calcium Phosphate (Ca-P) is the product which according to plants’ lifecycle, can be
fast-effective. Ca-P is applied when the plants are about to flower. Feed to animals during
pregnancy or breeding time at 200 times dilution. Spray when the first flowers comes out. Ex:
tomato plant, cucumber, eggplant etc.

1. Boil or broil 2 kilos of animal bones to separate meat and fat until remaining meat to the
bone is charcoal black, scrape charred meat and let it cool. Do not burn the bone. Ratio
1:10
2. Place bone in a plastic container and pour 5 gallons of pure coconut or sugarcane vinegar.
Cover for 30 days. Filter and use. Cover container-air tight.

CALCIUM (EGGSHELL AND SHELLS)


Strengthen flowers. Contributes to better utilization of carbohydrates and protein. It is also a
major element in forming a cell membrane and enables smooth cell division; makes fruit hard
and sweet. Spray CA on the leaves after the fruits have become large. The concoction helps
prevent overgrowth and promote the development of sweet hard fruits. Add seawater, calcium
phosphate or OHN for better taste and aroma of the fruits. It is applied when the plants’ supply
of nitrogen is excessive. It is the most important ingredients for flowering.

1. Wash and crush eggshell and take the inside filament or film. Pan fry 2 kilos eggshell
until brown, set aside and cool. Pour vinegar first then slowly pour the eggshell.
2. Wait till the tiny bubbles disappear. Use exact size of container just enough to fill the
contents. Cover and ferment for 20 days. Filter and use keep in airtight container.

APPLICATION: FAA/CALPHOS/CALCIUM
- Apply using 2 tablespoons/ 1 liter of water.
- Apply directly to the soil or to the ground, not to the leaves.
- Keep concoction from direct sunlight. Store in cool dry place.

6. LACTIC ACID BACTERIA SERUM (LABS)


It converts waste into organic matter and basic
materials.
LABS thrive and feed on the ammonia released in
the decomposition normally associated with the foul
odor.

1. First rice wash, about 7 inches in depth even


in large container is good for aeration in the
liquid.
2. Cover with clean sheet of paper and put container in shaded area for seven days.
3. After seven days it will develop sour smell and will form three layers: 1) Floating
compound – rice bran, 2) Clear – LAS, 3) Starch. Extract the clear (middle) layer using
siphon.
4. Secondary culture: Mix 1-part clear liquid (LAS) to 10 part of fresh milk. Put rice bran
evenly on top of the milk to keep it in anaerobic stage. Do not stir.
5. In 5 to 7 days, carbohydrate, protein and fat will float leaving yellow liquid (serum) or
whey which contains lactic acid bacteria. Extract only the yellow liquid and add crude
sugar for preservation or same amount of LAS. Keep in clean cool dry place. Process
should take place in even temperature.
6. Mix 2 tablespoons of LABS to1 liter of water. Improve growth rate on plants and
improve digestive on animals. Prevent disease development and epidemics. Prevent foul
odor. Cheese filtrate can be used as fertilizer with IMO5. There is no waste in Natural
Farming. Keep the solution out of direct sunlight.

6. NATURAL ATTRACTANT FOR FLYING INSECTS AND BUTTERFLIES


Elimination of flying insects.

1. One gallon of coconut vinegar or coconut wine (tuba) and add ½ kilo of crude sugar
before boiling. Cool and add 1/3 liter of FPJ concentrate.
2. Put some of the mixture in containers and hang on fruit bearing trees.
3. Put some of the mixture and hang on vegetable trellises.
4. Put some of the mixture in a container and place near vegetable plots.

Insects are alcoholics put a little bar. The insects come by, have a drink, get drunk, fall and die!
Dead insect cannot multiply.
