JADAM Mineral Water

JADAM Natural Mineral Water (NMW) is a technology that will convert your existing overhead tank into a reservoir of soft water that can be use for drinking and as a necessary input to the JADAM Natural Pesticide (JNP). NMW will covert hard water into soft water thru the action of microorganism present is the leaf mold soil (LMS).

Material

• Overhead tank 

 

Procedure

1. Collect rocks from your area and cover the bottom of the bank to a height of 1 ft (24 inches).
2. Fill-in 1/3 of a plastic or Abaca gunnysack (water resistant) with leaf mold soil (LMS) and hang it in the tank so that the contents will seep into the water.  Change the gunnysack with LMS once or twice per year.  DO NOT USE COTTON GUNNYSACK as the microorganism will eat into the gunnysack.
   
3. After 2-3 days, microbes would have decomposed the contaminants and water will be of excellent quality.

 

Note:  3,000 liters of water is good for 1,000 square meter (0.1 ha).

JADAM Liquid Fertilizer (JLF)

JADAM Liquid Fertilizer is a nutrient supplement for the crop that is principally derived from grass.  According to JADAM, the best fertilizer is the grass that grows on the soil.  All you need is to cut it.  If growing grass is difficult, use grass eating animal manure.  Fruits, leaves, roots and branches of crops (crop residues) can also be used.

Materials Needed

1. Pail with cover
2. Grass cutting tool or equipment
3. Leaf mold soil (LMF) - 1 cup or more
   

Procedure

1. Cut and gather grasses and fill the pail up to 90%.
2. Add leaf mold soil
3. Add water till grass material is submerged
4. Close the lid cover and let it stay for a minimum of 10 days
5. After 10 days, the grass residue can be used with a dilution ratio of 1:30 to 1:100 (Recommended)
6. Place the covered pail with JLF near the target plot
   
7. Do not throw grass material when residue is empty.  Just add water and leaf mold soil.  If grass material has shrunk already, add additional grass material.

Storing JADAM Microorganism Solution (JMS)

The process of storing JMS (Diluted) will convert the liquid material into solid material for storage.  This process will immobilized the microorganism (and fungi) and will create microorganism spores that can be stored.  Estimated storage period is 2 years under shaded, cool and dry place.  The following procedure will produce 100kg (2 sacks) of JADAM Microorganism Material (JMM).

 

Place & Materials Needed and Ingredients

1. Outdoor shaded area (suggestion:  below a large tree) with enough space to place and mix 100 kg of material
2. JMS (Diluted) - about 20 liters
3. Rice bran (Darak) or wheat bran 
4. Sprinkler
5. Shovel
   

 

Procedure

1. Place the rice bran material in the shaded area and make it into a pile.  The pile should not exceed 2 feet in height.
2. Place the diluted JMS in the splinkler and wet the rice bran material.  Mix the rice bran material using a shovel until moisture from the diluted JMS is about 60%.  Tip:  Get a handful of rice bran material and squeeze.  If you are able to make a rice bran ball, then it is already with 60% moisture.  If the rice bran ball easily crumbles, it is either too much or too few moisture.
3. Cover the rice bran pile material with straw or a heat shield.  Expect within 2-3 days, the material will heat up and within 15 days, the material will now cool down.
   
4. Once cooled, transfer the material to covered area (indoor) where it can dry.  
5. Once dried, the material can be crushed and stored in a paper bag.

Use

1. Use the JMM as a microorganism input (mix it with soil in the field), as basal inoculant for trees, and teas for drench and foliar spraying.

JADAM Indigenous Microorganism Solution (JMS)

JADAM is a natural farming technology developed by Youngsang Cho.  JADAM is also a group of organic farmers which was established in 1991 and led by Youngsang Cho.  Accordingly, JADAM is a Korean abbreviation of "Jayonul Damun Saramdul" which roughly translates to “People who mimic nature".

The core technology of JADAM is centered on the JADAM Indigenous Microorganism Solution (JMS) and the use of Leaf Mold Soil (LMS).  The following notes are the requirements and procedure on how to make a 3 liter JMS. 

 

Materials needed and Ingredients

1. Leaf Mold Soil  - 1/2 cup (3% of Total Material including water)
   
2. Casava, Potato, or Sweet Potato (whichever is available) - 1 pc (3% of Total Material including water)
   
3. Water (Non-chlorinated; If chlorinated, rest for 24 hours) - 3 liters
   
4. Salt (non-iodized) 11g (approximately 1 teaspoon) or 330ml seawater (3% of Total Material including water)
   
5. Stick
6. Bucket (size can fit 3 liters)
   
7. String
8. Mesh cloth
9. Optional:  juice material from leaves, fruits, and roots of targeted plants

 

Procedure: Pour water to container 

1. Dissolve the sea salt in water 
2. Place the boiled casava and leaf mold soil in mesh net and knead the contents into water. Do this also for the crop material (optional). 
3. Hang the remaining solids in the water 
4. Close the lid and leave under the sun near the target crop for culturing (above 18C) for 1 to 3 days 
5. Monitor when foam forms and harvest the JMS when foam is at its most vigorous
6. Dilution ratio is 1:10. 1 part of JMS to 10 parts of water (This makes 30 liters of Diluted JMS)
   
7. Use clean sprayer and when finished spraying, clean the sprayer immediately before storing       

 

For other quantities, the following are the guide:

Water (liters)	500	100	70	60	50
Divisor		5.00	7.14	8.33	10.00
Sea Salt (kg)	0.5	0.1	0.07	0.06	0.05
Potatoes (kg)	1	0.2	0.14	0.12	0.1
Leaf Mold Soil (kg)	0.5	0.1	0.07	0.06	0.05
Crop-customized Microbes (Various parts of the targeted Crop Material in kg)	1	0.2	0.14	0.12	0.1
Dilution Ratio 1 JMS:10 of Water
JMS (in liter)	500	100	70	60	50
Water (in liter)	5000	1000	700	600	500
Total JMS Diluted (JMDS)	5500	1100	770	660	550

 

Note:  You will need to make 1000 liters of JMS for 3 hectares of ricefield
