Jadam organic Farming & Gardening : The Way to Ultra-Low-Cost Agriculture, Make All-Natural Fertilizer, Pesticide and Microorganism Inputs Yourself

the transplanting or growth period. I cannot stress this enough. It
is 
the most important technology of JADAM: “Apply JADAM indigenous
microorganism solution (JMS), sea water, and phyllite solution every time
you water.”
Use sea water/salt and phyllite solution every time you use JADAM
microorganism solution. Soil foundation work is the most important of all farm-
ing tasks: use JMS, sea water, phyllite solution and wild grass JADAM liquid fer-
tilizer (JLF) to optimize the soil condition before transplanting or lowering. is

Other effects of the leaf mold-method of soil management
Increased diversity of microorganisms prevents a particular type of
pathogen from gaining dominance. 
Nowadays, soil-borne diseases and nema-
tode damage are ever on the rise. Even the most toxic chemical pesticides can-
not control powdery mildew. All along, our method has relied on disinfection.
We thought killing the target pathogen would save us but it is not working that
well. What is worse, the pathogens are building resistance towards chemical
pesticides. It is time we drastically shift our thinking. Disease is caused when a
certain virus, bacteria or pest takes control over the soil. So JADAM’s solution
is simple. 
Maximize the population and diversity of soil microorganisms. 
As
I mentioned, add JMS whenever your crop is watered. is is a complete shift.
Mankind has concentrated on killing and eliminating pathogens when there
was an easier and effective method of using microbes to check microbes
(pathogen). 
Let us shift from disinfection to diversity.
Most of the pathogens
are heterotrophic; meaning they cannot produce nutrition for themselves but
have to rely on foreign sources of nutrients. is means that the “area” they oc-
cupy is directly interpreted into the amount of food they acquire. What do we
want to achieve by repeatedly showering crops and soil with JMS? We want the
army of diverse microorganisms to occupy the area and crowd out the
pathogens. When the micro-ecology recovers its natural diversity, no particular
pathogen will be able to multiply in extraordinary numbers and take control. 
e same holds true for soil nematodes. When microorganism diversity and
activity are recovered in the soil, the nematodes become much less active. ere
are interesting pictures of a certain fungi using hyphal loop to trap and con-
sume nematodes. Bactericides might have some success in controlling powdery
mildew; however, the disease can also be controlled by foliar application of mi-

croorganism solution. Indigenous
microorganisms will occupy the
area that the powdery mildew
pathogens would want to take up,
effectively preventing the outbreak
of powdery mildew. is costs al-
most nothing, and contrary to
chemical agents, application of
such material actually promotes
plant health. If you are trapped in
your belief that only pesticides can
save you, then you will forever rely
on them. ink outside the box;
nature has all the answers. Follow
nature and things will be surpris-
ingly simple, easy, scientiic and ef-
fective (SESE). Ultra-low-cost
farming is so easy!
