How to use JWA
You must use soft water when mixing JWA to make pesticide. Add 3 to
15 liters (0.8-4 gal) of JWA to water to make up 500 liters (132 gal). If you
use less than 1.5 L (0.4 gal) of JWA, the pesticide does not disperse evenly
which can reduce its effectiveness; cause concentration problems; and leave
spray marks/residue. e
amount of JWA you use is
critical in deciding the effi-
cacy of the natural pesti-
cides. If the problem of
pathogen or pests is not se-
rious, use around 3 L (0.8
gal). If the pest problem is
growing, use 5 L (1.3 gal).
If the problem is serious,
increase it up to 15 L (4
gal). Once the problem
seems to be under con-

trol, reduce it back to 3 L (0.8
gal). If you use JWA at over 10 L
(2.6 gal) continuously, it might
suppress growth in some crops
and damage the white powder
coating of some fruits. In cold
temperatures, mix JWA in a small
amount of water irst, and then
add. JWA alone can control
aphids, mites, and powdery
mildew in their early stages. JWA
can replace machine oil in winter
for pest control in fruit trees. If
you add JHS (JADAM herb solution), JS (JADAM sulfur), red clay pow-
der, it makes even better pesticide. Unlike some synthetic wetting agents,
JWA has almost no problem with blocking the stoma of leaves. Roughly,
you would use JS in 1/5 the quantity of JWA. 
Because commercial synthetic wetting agents are often diluted some
4,000 or 5,000 times, some farmers worry that mixing JWA with water
in ×50 dilution is using too much wetting agent. is is not to worry be-
cause JWA is mostly made of water. If we look at how much oil was used,
only 0.54 L (0.14 gal) has gone into 500 L (132 gal) which is about ×926
dilution. 
You do not always have to make JWA in 100 L (26 gal) units. You can
adjust the total volume; just stick to the ratio. But always use container that
is more than 10 percent larger than the volume of JWA you wish to make.
Below, I have provided a table for convenience. If you only have a small
veggie garden, reduce the scale to 1/10
