Agronomic Efficacy Enhancement Product

The Process
The seven percent (7%) evaporation of the fatty acid oil has the unique ability to produce rapid penetration that that of any adjuvant and pesticides, it is primarily due to the open molecules. The open molecules are hereby freely in adapting other closed molecules to establish a re-structured molecular structure. the combined cross linked bonding will produce "1st of its kind" coupling reaction with other molecules.

Therefore, this faty acid adjuvant kills, repel insects, and controls plant diseases faster than any combined adjuvant and pesticide, the difference is this adjuvant has no membrane or film due to 7%-12% evaporation of the surface tension.

Patented Reactor (#1-2013-00016)
The reactors are different from the traditional pyrolysis, distillation and fractionation. It is a conductor that evaporates only the surface tension faster without damaging the molecular structures.

Evidence of open molecules
It produces rapid penetration into the insect's spiracles leading to advance asphyxiation that kills multi-insects. Another factor to consider is the ability to kill bacteria.

Coupling Reaction
It unites the negative ion and positive ion leading to one single cross-linked bond. When the exposed molecules happens the re-structured molecules produced a cross-link bondage that rarely links in chain of atoms in a complex molecular chains that results in coupling reaction which produces synergistic effects.

Benefits
The end product therefore, has an excellent absorption, which guarantees reduction in the use of toxic chemical pesticide, resulting in a huge savings for the farmers and the agrochemical companies in particular. 

Mode of actions
Advance suffocation, rapid penetration and excellent absorption into the specific target application. Once the adjuvant oil sprayed, it penetrates rapidly and solidifies instantly resulting in a drop of oxygen, paralysis and death eventually.

How to use:
Use only 70% of your  usual insecticide, fungicide, or herbicide then add 30% of intense adjuvant. 

For example:
If your insecticide, fungicide, or herbicide requirement per hectare is 1 kilo or 1 liter, use only 700ml or 700g. Then add 300ml of Intense adjuvant.

VEM

Vermicast is the end product of vermicomposting in which worms breakdown organic matter. If we make vermitea to multiply beneficial microorganisms present to vemicast, we usually needs aerator or brewer. Straight aeration for few days helps the microorganisms present in vermicast reproduce and become active. However, adding EM-1 no longer requires, additional aeration. The mixture of microbes of EM-1 will befriends the present microorganisms in vermicast and these microbes help each other in releasing the  nutrient, hormones and bio-active substance present in vermicast.


How to make VEM (EMpowered Vermitea)

♣ 20-25 kilos vermicast in a sack (Animal manure (except dog and cat) could also be use in replacement of Vermicast)

♣  5 kilos molasses

♣ 170-200 liters water

♣ 1 liter EM-1


Procedure:

1. Dilute 5 kilos of molasses to 170-200 liters of water.

2. Add 1 liter of EM-1 and mix well.

3. Soak the vermicast inside the drum and cover it tightly.

4. Ferment it for 1 week before using. Stir every 3 days to release the gas.
 
The good thing about EM-1 and vermitea is that you could mix and match and apply whatever is more suitable base from your farm condition and available materials. Here is one of the mix and match that’s proven effective in reducing the use of chemical fertilizers and at the same time repels insect pest.
 
 
How to make Vermitea Cocktail
 
♣  20-25 kilos vermicast in a sack***
 
♣  5 kilos molasses
 
♣  200 liters water
 
♣ 1-2 liters EM-FPE
 
♣ 1 liters EMAS (EM Activated Solution)
 
Procedure:
 
1. Dilute 5 kilos of molasses to approximately 170-200 liters of water.
 
2. Add 1 liter of EMAS and EM-FPE. Mix well.
 
3. Soak the vermicast  inside the drum and cover it tightly.
 
4. Ferment it for 3-7 days. Stir it every 3 days to  release the gas.


 
 
Let's use it to improve crop production!
 
 
 

FOR LEAFY VEGETABLES APPLICATION
  1. For Foliar application: Dilute 150 ml of VEM OR vermitea cocktail to16 liters of water. And spray it on lower and upper leaves of the plant once a week.
  2. For Drenching: Dilute 300-500 ml of VEM OR vermitea cocktail to 16 liters. Drench atleast 150 ml per plant.
 

FOR FRUITING VEGETABLES APPLICATION
 
  1. For Foliar application: Dilute 150 ml of VEM OR vermitea cocktail to 16 liters ofwater. And spray it on lower and upper leaves of the plant once a week for the first 6 weeks. And twice a week for succeeding weeks.
  2. For Drenching: Dilute 500 ml to 1 liter of VEM OR vermitea cocktail to 16 liters of water. Drench this at the rate of 150 ml per plant for the first 3 weeks. Apply 500 ml per plant once a week for the next 4 weeks and twice a week for succeeding weeks until fruiting.

An inspiring way to recycle household waste into something very useful


POBSOOK RECYCLING CENTER

PAK KRET MUNICIPALITY, THAILAND


Pobsook Community is lined along the Pobsook Street in Pak Kret, a neighbor of Bangkok.  It has around 300 households made up of professionals and office workers.  Like any urban community, fresh waste disposal is a problem.  Its waste is made up of 50% organic biodegradable matter, 35% recyclable wastes like plastic bottle,  plastic bags, paper and cartons. 15% are non-recyclable waste like diapers and styropor boxes.

The 12 year-old recycling center was initiated by the members of the community with their growing garbage problem which attracts flies, emits bad odor and affected the poor sanitation of the community.  Community leaders were encouraged to solve this problem with the donation from the Japanese Embassy in Bangkok and JICA of the Pobsook’s 270m2 recycling plant.  The key to this environmental solution is the use of EFFECTIVE MICROORGANISM TECHNOLOGY from Japan. 

Although the methodology is proven in Japan, it took about three years for the household to adapt the solution by daily segregating their  family wastes into biodegradables, recyclables and the non-recyclables. Mr. Anake Homwan, the Director of the Recycle Center of Pobsook under the management of Pakkret Municipality, volunteered his time and talent for the past 13 years to make this dream a reality – to make Pobsook Community a role model for the successful reduction of household wastes while establishing the reputation of being a recycle learning center in Thailand. The volunteers who are themselves Engineers, teacher, nurse and office workers showed the way and dedicated their time to make sure that all households follow instructions.  As the daily procedure of segregation and collection of biodegradables became routine, the center became an effective model for Thailand urban communities.
 
All the 50% biodegradables were turned into compost which are either given to the urban container gardeners or sold to the nearby fruit farmers at 8 to 10 Baht per kilo.


POBSOOK BOKASHI FORMULA
50 kg.       D1 or D3-rice bran
50 kg.       ground rice hull
5   liters    rice rinse water – hugas bigas
40 liters    clean water or coco juice – buco juice
5   kg.        molasses
3   liters     EM-1.  Make this 5 liters to neutralize very obnoxious garbage.
50 kg.        compost produced by the center

**Click this link for other bokashi formula**
AEROBIC FERMENTATION 
Mixed all the solid ingredients on the cement floor.  Then spray the liquid concoction made up of clean water or coco juice, molasses, EM-1.  Make a mound and cover with jute sack.  Mix the materials every two days. After two weeks, the Bokashi is transferred to plastic woven bags and kept in cool, dry place.  Moisture content is around 40%.

 




 
 
ANAEROBIC FERMENTATION
Place the mixture in plastic drums and seal well. No need to mix. In ten days, the EM Bokashi is ready to use.  White molds may appear on the top portion.  This is a successful fermentation process.


HOW THE POBSOOK RECYLCING CENTER OPERATES
 
 
COLLECTION OF GARBAGE
Each household are instructed to segregate their biodegradable kitchen waste from the recyclables and non-recyclables.  Every morning from 7 to 9am, a tricycle garbage collector go around the community and collect the segregated biodegradables. Used paper, plastic and glass are segregated for recycling and are collected separately. 

 
PROCESSING FOR FERMENTATION
 
The bio-organic kitchen wastes are brought in with the plastic waste containers. These are emptied into the small mixer.  Layers of Bokashi prepared by the Center is mixed as the wastes are unloaded. 20 kg. Bokashi to 100 kg. kitchen waste.  After three minutes, the electric rotary mixer is unloaded with the treated wastes placed inside the woven onion bag.  The filled onion bags are placed inside the fermentation rotary plastic drums.  These will be kept there sealed in an anaerobic condition for seven days.




EM JUICE

The plastic fermentation drums have a faucet at the bottom.  The Bokashi treated wastes will produce a liquid that can be removed through the faucet after three days of fermentation. 20 liters per 200 liter drum of kitchen waste can be harvested from 3 days to 30 days.   The EM Juice can be diluted 20 to 50 times to condition the soil, rich in micronutrients.  Dilute 10cc EMJ to 5 liters of water as foliar application for vegetables.  Apply pure EM juice to sanitize drainage canals to remove foul smell and clean the water and canal bottom.  Similarly, this solution can be used to treat septic tanks. Apply 2 to 3 times weekly in Septic tank.  Maintenance cost of septic tank will be significantly reduced.

Do not use EM Juice for cleaning floor, wall or furniture.
 
 
Composting
After seven days, the drums with fermented kitchen wastes are emptied at the mixing area. 1% Bokashi is again applied liberally, with 10% dried leaves added to absorb more moisture from the fermented waste.  Then, a conveyor belt brings the treated waste into the composting tank.
 
The tank has the capacity of three tons for fermented waste.  It rotates three hours a day at 20 RPM. A blower is put on for two hours to provide aeration inside and 2 hours of exhaust fan to circulate the hot air inside the tank.   At the other end of the tank is an outlet where the finished product, composted kitchen wastes, are removed on a first in, first out basis.  The compost is shredded to fine particles and air-dried on the floor before packing.



This is the conveyor that will bring this fermented kitchen waste inside the composting tank.



The composting tank.

Alternative to composting tank

One of the most expensive equipment in the recycling center is the composting tank. Although the cost is not mentioned, it is the most complicated piece of machine.  Engr. Homwan shared to us with another “secret”. We can make our own composting drum with the following criteria in mind.   It should be able to rotate slowly to mix the fermented kitchen waste while the composting process is on-going.

Immediate use of fermented kitchen waste          

As we learned from the Kyusei Natural Farming Center, the fermented kitchen wastes were buried under the vegetable plots.  In ten days time, this will be fully composted and benefit the plants.
