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

7. Transiion from convenional to organic
e market for organic food looks quite promising. It is sold at relatively
higher prices and is touted as healthy. However, a transition from conventional,
chemical farming to organic farming should be carefully planned. Errors can be
made and this will lead to inancial losses. Seasonal crops could be a little easier
to work with, but perennials need more care. You might have succeeded in re-
ducing pesticide application signiicantly to 2-3 times per season, but doing
completely without it is very different. Farming purely organic can be challeng-
ing; technical blunders can be made. Applying your experience in conventional
farming to organic farming can sometimes make further mistakes. 
You do not truly know organic if you haven’t started farming with organic.
At irst, I suggest you start out by applying the JADAM method to one tenth of

your total cropland. at way, you can start more safely and failure will not
bring as big an impact. Master the basics of JADAM organic farming through
soil management and fertilizer application. en, learn the more advanced
methods of tackling pests and diseases. You can gradually expand the propor-
tion of your land once you gain conidence. 
Here are some things you need to think deeply before going organic:
•
Are you conident you can use indigenous microorganisms and manage

•
Can you formulate the appropriate fertilizer program for each crop?
•
Are you conident you can grow ield crops without chemical fertilizers? 
•
Do you trust the effects of natural calcium phosphate and calcium liq-
uid fertilizers?
•
Do you trust the effects of natural nitrogen liquid fertilizers?
•
Can you control aphids and mites with natural pesticides?
•
Can you control tobacco moths, cabbage white butterly caterpillars,
and scales with natural pesticides?
•
Can you control powdery mildew and canker (anthracnose) with natu-
ral pesticides?

Are you conident that your yield will not decrease after going organic?
•
Are you conident you can keep up the quality after going organic? 
Many people fail in organic farming because they cannot control aphids,
mites and powdery mildew. Learn how to make and apply JADAM natural pes-
ticides, and train yourself to become a successful organic farmer. Try some or-
ganic pesticide products from the market and compare them with your natural
homemade ones to further your study.

JADAM Organic Farming
In organic farming, seeds, seedlings, and saplings are very important. In
modern commercial agriculture, seedling growers try to make their products
look gorgeous, and sapling growers often use chemical fertilizer to boost appear-
ance. e complete, big picture of the plant’s overall lifecycle is often neglected.
JADAM recommends you grow your own seedlings. If you cannot grow your
own for seasonal crops, make sure that you make your own for at least the
perennial crops and fruit trees. Saplings should be grown and prepared the
JADAM way to ensure their health for at least 1-2 years.
