Indigenous micro-organism (IMO) |
|
| Indigenous micro-organisms are powerful and effective natural resources that improve the soil
conditioning and the crop health. They are easily collected from local woods or fields using a
simple wooden lunch box containing steamed rice. They are then cultivated mixed with brown
sugar and rice bran. By utilizing micro-organisms that survived and adapted to the local
environment for hundreds or thousands of years, we can obtain safe, cheap, yet powerful natural
fertilizers and livestock feeds. |

Oriental Herbal Nutrient (OHN) |
|
| Oriental herbal nutrient is made from herbs valued in oriental medicine, such as licorice, cinnamon,
garlic and ginger. |

Fermented Plant Juice (FPJ) |
|
| New sprouts and young fruits with high hormone concentration, fully ripened fruits, flower abundant
in honey, and any plant with strong fragrance are good resources to make Fermented Plant Juice
(FPJ). FPJ is made by fermenting plant juices extracted from plant parts in brown sugar utilizing
the osmotic pressure. |

|
Fish amino acid (FAA) |
|
| FAA is made from fermented fish or leftover parts (head, guts, bones, etc), especially the fish
having green-color back. You can make a great protein source from fish by extracting juice from
fish fermented with brown sugar. FAA is in the liquid form, and is used as a high quality natural
nitrogen fertilizer for crops. |

Water-soluble Calcium Phosphate (WCP) |
|
| WCP is derived from animal bones dissolved in the brown-rice vinegar.It suppresses an excessive
nitrogen manifestation. It is particularly effective for plants in the transition stage between the growth
and the fruiting stages. |
|
|
|
|
|
Water-soluble Calcium (WCA) |
|
| WCA is extracted by dissolving shells of eggs, oysters, crabs, etc. in the brown-rice vinegar.
Calcium is effective in increasing the fruit sugar level or maturing the fruits at the later stages of
growth. |

|
Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) |
|
| LAB is made from the rice-washed water and pure milk. It is similar to the yogurt making process.
LAB gives strength to a weak plant which is losing the photosynthesis capability. LAB also has an
outstanding effect in increasing the size of fruits. |

Insect Attractant (IA) |
|
| Instead of pesticide, Natural Farming uses various natural insect attractants (fermented plant juice
mixed with raw rice wine) to get rid of insects. Insects¡¯keen sense of smell and taste is utilized to
lure and catch insects into IA-containing plastic bottles with open side windows. |
