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.
