part of the body needed a different cosmetic. en came different cosmetics for
different functions. Now we have literally thousands of different cosmetics. e
same thing has happened in the pesticide industry.
I was inspired when I learnt that one type of anthelmintic kills most parasites.
One anthelmintic kills roundworms, whipworms, threadworms and hookworms.
is made me think that one pesticide can kill all pests. So I experimented and had
a success. Let us not think speciied, complicated and diversiied products is a
proof of more science.

So, it is the size that differentiates pathogens and pests. Let’s not trouble our-
selves going through hundreds and thousands of different pathogens and pests but
rather pick the nastiest two, one from each group. Powdery mildew and aphids
would well deserve that name. Most people would agree that farmers spend a large
sum of money for pesticides to control these two. We can say if you control pow-
dery mildew you can control most every other pathogen, and if you control aphids
you can control most every other pest. is is not a fantasy; it has been practiced
and proven. Make small adjustments and the pesticide will work for myriads of
other pests. What is more interesting is that pesticide that can control powdery
mildew, if made stronger, can control aphids. My experience tells me that this sim-
ple methodology can solve about 90 percent of all pest and pathogen problems.
e remaining 10 percent should be dealt with by utilizing some other options.
I have inally succeeded in pro-
viding a new perspective: pest and
pathogen are only different in size;
one pesticide can be put to universal
use; controlling powdery mildew
and aphids is the touchstone for
being able to control others.
JADAM made pesticide into some-
thing anybody can understand and
practice. JADAM strongly urges that
all farmers become experts them-
selves. All our methods are SESE
(simple, easy, scientiic and effective).
JADAM wants to make its agricul-
tural knowledge readily available so
that it can be shared by everyone,
used by anybody, and further devel-
“Natural pesticide workshop” is held regularly in
JADAM’s Daejeon office.
JADAM hung the names of financial sponsors on a
wall in appreciation.

oped and improved by everybody.
JADAM has always believed that farming should belong to farmers. at is why
we did not commit to selling inputs and ingredients. We want farmers themselves
to make and prepare their own inputs. Once we start selling, once we know the
taste of money, all our noble dreams may fall. We might have made a lot of money
if we sold pesticide to our some 60,000 members. Our income comes mainly from
members who register as sponsors on our website (www.jadam.kr) and donate a
certain amount of money regularly. If we indeed sold pesticides, we would have
tried to sell more, and in the course, we would have started touting our produce
and tried to dissuade farmers from making homemade pesticides. at is against
the very spirit of JADAM. Making inputs yourself is the basis of ULC. I have had
a lot of difficulty in inancially sustaining JADAM but after natural pesticide work-
shop began 7 years ago, workshop has been a wild success. Many people supported
our cause and became sponsors. For 10 years, I have never failed to pay salary for
my staff. is is not common in Korea. Sponsorship was introduced 14 years ago,
and when we moved to a new office in Daejeon, I engraved the names of every
sponsor on a wooden card and placed them on one side of our wall. JADAM or-
ganic farming and its method of achieving ULC would not have been possible
without the help of many people. Sponsors helped us inancially, our staff were be-
side me during hardship and member farmers eagerly shared their knowledge.
Making pesticide now became as easy as cooking rice. All information and
knowledge is in our website, being shared real-time. We learn from each other. Try
our method and you will ind controlling powdery mildew and aphids is no big
deal. If you can control the two, you are already an expert. Stop following after the
so-called experts; be one yourself. Never, ever resort to buying stuffs. Breaking free
from commercial pesticide is an essential step for bringing farming back to farmers.
Make your own pesticides, fertilizers and soil improvers; inally JADAM’s historic
vision will come true. JADAM has solved the pest issue that pestered organic farm-
ers all over the world and blocked organic farming from becoming mainstream.
