 INFORMATION SHEET 4.1-1
PREPARE WORK AND STORAGE AREAS

Learning Objectives: After reading this information sheet you should be

able to:
1. Differentiate between organic sanitation into commercial
sterilization
2. Clean and secure work and storage area

INTRODUCTION:
Work area is the place where we do all activities that we perform and
storage area is where we store our products so it is needed to be clean and
tidy to be free from contamination. In Organic Agriculture Production we
must practice the use of organic sanitation through the use of our
concoctions for better quality of our produce.

ORGANIC SANITATION VS. COMMERCIAL STERILIZATION

Organic Sanitation

The procedure in the application of organic sanitation is system-wide

using organically produced disinfectants thru concoctions and sprayed all
over the place where the possible sources of destructive bacteria/germs are.
Concoction products are not harmful to the environment and to human as
well as to the animals. The sanitation procedure shall include strict clean
area (well ventilated, free from any contamination, well organized, well
protected facilities) with periodic inspection using the principles of 5
Japanese S.

5S Principles in Good House Keeping Practices

1. Sort (Seiri) – Take out unnecessary items and dispose

2. Systematized ( Seiton) – Arrange necessary items in good order for use

3. Sweep (Seiso) – Clean your workplace completely

4. Sanitize/Standardize (Seiketsu) – Maintain high standard of

housekeeping

5. Self-discipline/Sustain (Shitsuke) – Do things simultaneously without

being told or ordered.

Commercial Sterilization

The commercial sterilization is cleaning the area thru the use of

chemicals commercially produced, which is very expensive and hazardous to
the environment and the people.

Cleanliness and orderliness in the concoction area

1. Labelled storage area classified according to concoction processes;

2. Labelled production lines;
3. The labelled tool cabinets and equipment (brooms, clean cloth for
wiping wet object/area, etc.)
4. The room shall be well ventilated, free from disturbances and free
from any direct heat coming from the sun, machine and electricity.
5. Prepare periodic schedules for cleaning and a checklist indicator that
orderliness had been done.
6. Maintain a record book indicating the life span and utilization of each
of the concoction extracts.
7. Maintain clean sanitation foot rugs at the entrance of the concoction
room.
8. Put rule signs at the room readable at eye level such as: No Smoking,
maintain silence, wipe your foot at the entrance sanitation rugs, wear
PPE, etc.

Ways to protect concoctions from any form of contaminations

1. Use of indigenous materials like bamboo

2. Use of protective materials such as screen, covers,
3. Wash materials during preparation
4. Use of ppe properly
5. Clean/sterilize utensils to be used
6. Spray ohn, labs, imo

 INFORMATION SHEET 4.1-2

TYPES OF CONCOCTION AND ITS USES

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

After reading this information sheet you should be able to:

1. Familiarize the types, uses and benefits of different concoctions.

INTRODUCTION:

The current economic situation and the prevailing condition of our

natural resources including the rising cost of inorganic fertilizers requires
farmers nowadays to look into alternative measures to sustain the farming
business profitably.

Production of concoction and extract will help farmers to achieve this.

A concoction is a combination of various ingredients locally found in the
farm. Extract is made from raw materials found in the farm using water as
solvent.

The following are the needed to know-how organic concoctions and

extracts that would eventually help the farmers improve their farming.

The Different Types of Concoctions

1. Fish Amino Acid (FAA) is produced from fish

trash /internal organs fermented after storing for a 30-
day period. FAA contains nitrogen (90%) and
phosphorus (2.5%).

2. Indigenous Microorganisms (IMO) is a soil additive

made from indigenous microbes cultured in cooked rice.

3. Fermented Plant Juice (FPJ) is made from axillary

buds and young fruits, fast growing plants, young leaves of
plants and grasses.

Extracts)
4. Oriental Herbal Nutrients (OHN), a fermented extract of
herbs.

5. Fermented Fruit Juice (FFJ) is made from sweet ripe

fruits, fruit vegetables and rootcrops.

6. Calcium Phosphate (Calphos) is made from egg shells and bones of

animals.

7. Lactic Acid Bacteria Serum (LABS) is made from rice wash, fresh milk
and crude sugar

8. Carrots, Cucumber & Celery (3Cs)

Benefit and Application of Different Concoctions

Indigenous Microorganisms

 Can induce flowering among plants

 Promotes higher yield
 Induce longer shelf life of fruits
 Give added resistance to plants against pests and harmful insects

 The use of IMO as foliar fertilizer- Mix 2 tablespoons of IMO per liter of
clean water and directly spray to plants. Spray the IMO mixture into
the leaves of the plants or the soil early in the morning at 6:00 – 8:00
AM or in the afternoon at about 5:00 PM until sunset (when
microorganisms are very active).
 In rice fields, spread immediately newly threshed rice straws, to avoid
burning, and spray the whole area with IMO at least 2 times before
land preparation or plowing, at 8 tbsp/liter for this purpose.

Extracts)
  Spray IMO immediately after leveling with the same dosage. Use IMO
every 7-10 days on newly planted seedlings until maturity for rice,
corn, vegetables and fruit trees at the rate of tablespoons per liter.

Fermented Fruit Juice (FFJ)

 As flower inducer and fruit setter –Spray on

the leaves at the rate of 2 to 4 tbsp/gallon of
water at the onset of flowering up to fruit
setting. These ripe fruits contain
phosphorous and potassium which are
necessary during the flowering and fruit
setting stage.
 As soil microorganism activity accelerator –
FFJ is applied directly to the soil at the rate of 1tsp/liter of water. The
carbohydrates and sugar content of FFJ serve as source of energy of
soil microorganism, thereby, accelerating their activity. Increased
microbial activities result to the availability of nutrients for plant’s
uptake.
 As spray to animal beddings to hasten manure decomposition – FFJ
contains beneficial microorganisms that help in the decomposition
process.
 As a nutritious drink – a 20% FFJ solution makes an excellent drink
for both human and livestock.

Oriental Herbal Nutrients (OHN)

 A good insecticide
 Serves as “growth hormone” for plant growth and development
 Used as foliar spray
 For foliar spray crops, spray late in the afternoon to control pests and
diseases.
 When used on farm animals, it can enhance their immune system by
adding it in the drinking water.

Fish Amino Acid (FAA)

Production NC II 27, 2020 Issued by:
Page 13
(Produce Organic

Organic Developed by:
Concoctions and Danny R.Salvador
Extracts)
  As source of nitrogen – use as foliar spray during the vegetative stage
at the rate of 2 tsp/liter of water or can be applied directly to the soil
to hasten microbial activities.

 You can apply to the compost heap as energy source for the soil
microorganism to hasten decomposition.

Calcium Phosphate (Calphos)

 Improve crop growth and stand

 Promotes higher yield
 Induce longer shelf-life of fruits
 Give added resistance to plants against pests and harmful insects

 Spray mixture into leaves or soil preferably at both ends of the day
(6:00-8:00 AM or 4:00 PM until sunset when microorganisms are most
active. Apply every 7 days to the following crops: Rice- from booting
stage up to a week before harvesting; Corn: 45 to 90 days of tenure;
Fruits, vegetables and bananas: from bearing stage up to a week
before harvesting.

Fermented Plant Juice (FPJ)

 As seed treatment before sowing – soak the seeds in 0.2 % solution for
4 to 5 hours to facilitate germination and as a start-up solution to
germinating seeds.
 As a natural growth enhancer – FPJ made from actively growing plant
parts and fast growing plants may contain natural growth hormones
and mineralized nitrogen that promotes plant growth. Mix 2
tablespoon of FPJ per liter of water and spray on the leaves or apply
directly to the soil around the plants from seedling stage up to pre-
flowering stage. You can apply weekly or depending on plant vigor.
Please note that with the use of FPJ, there is no overdose; you may
use it liberally. However, the soil must be watered first before applying
FPJ to avoid scorching of the roots.
 Apply FPJ to the soil to serve as source of energy to accelerate
activities of soil microorganism. This activity will make the nutrients
available to the plants.
 Give FPJ, as drink, to livestock at 2 tbsp/liter to increase microbial
activities in gastro-intestinal tracts. This would result to better
absorption of nutrients.

  Spray to animal beddings to hasten manure decomposition.

Tea Manure (TM)

 TM provides the plant with small quantities of all major nutrients and
full range trace elements. It is best to apply TM as foliar fertilizer
because plants can absorb nutrients about 20 times faster through
the leaves.
 TM helps to overcome temporary shortage of nutrient. It provides
quick relief for nutrient deficient plants and promotes growth.
 There is no overdose in using TM and can be applied liberally.
 When applied to the soil, the nutrients in TM are slowly released so it
provides a continuous supply of nutrients even in small quantities.
 You can apply undiluted TM over a compost heap to provide moisture
and distribute beneficial microorganisms and nutrients to all parts of
the compost heap. If you decide to produce and use this kind of Liquid
Organic Fertilizer (LOF), you must have the following:
 Dependable source of partially dried animal manure
 Labor for collecting, processing and application of TM
 Capital for purchasing the needed materials for making TM

 Use tea manure as foliar fertilizer – dilute tea manure with equal
amount of water and spray weekly throughout the different growth
stages of the plant.
 Use full strength or undiluted tea manure as soil drench before
planting.
 Dilute tea manure with equal amount of water, and then apply
directly to the soil to provide micronutrient to the plant and energy for
increased microbial activities.

Lactic Acid Bacteria Serum (LABS)

 Promotes intestine movement

 Regulates the balance of the intestinal bacteria
 Prevents growth of harmful or pathogenic bacteria
 Improves immune system
 Contains anti-aging properties and/or antioxidants

  Use 2-4 tbsp/liter of water (clean water) spray or add to water as feeds
of animals. For bigger animals: use 2-4 tbsp of diluted lactic acid
bacteria serum.

 Use as spray to plant leaves to fortify phyllosphere microbes. Spray to

soil compost to build-up good microorganism colony.

Natural Insect Attractant

 Cut out holes or vents (2 square inches) on two opposite sides of the
plastic bottles.
 Transfer a minimal amount of the mixture into bottles and make sure
that the contents do not spill out of the vents.
 Using a piece of rope or tie-wire, hang the bottles from fruit trees or
vineyards. For low-lying crops, pour solution in coconut shells or any
bowl-like container and strategically place near plants.
 Hang 100 bottles of NIA with a distance of 10 x 10 meters for a
hectare farm lot planted with rice, corn, bananas, fruits, high value
vegetables, etc.

INTRODUCTION:

Why Ferment?

Fermentation – “breaking down into simpler components”. The microbes do

all the ‘breaking down’ work.

Benefits:

• Nutritional value of food goes up!

• Preservation of raw foods

• Detoxification of toxic chemicals

• Improves digestibility

• Doesn’t use heat – retains enzymes, vitamins and nutrients

Materials Needed:

 Rice wash
 Clay jars or plastic container
 Strainer
 Manila paper
 Rubber bond

Procedure:

LABS can be collected from the air

1. Pour rice wash (solution generated when you wash the rice with
water) on a container like plastic pot with lid.

Organic Agriculture Date Developed: March Document No. 01

Production NC II 27, 2020 Issued by:

Extracts)
 2. Cover the (not vacuum tight, allowing air still to move into the
container) container with lid loosely.

3. Put the container in a quiet area with no direct sunlight.

4. Allow the rice wash to ferment for at least 5-7 days. Lactic acid
bacteria will gather in 5-7 days when temperature is 20-25oC.

- Rice bran will be separated and float in the liquid, like a thin
film, smelling sour.
5. Strain and simply get the liquid.
Put this liquid in a bigger container and pour ten parts milk.
6. In 5-7 days, carbohydrate, protein and fat will float leaving yellow
liquid (serum), which contain the lactic acid bacteria.
- You can dispose the coagulated carbohydrate, protein and fat,
add them to your compost pile or feed them to your animals.
7. The pure lactic acid bacteria serum can be stored in the refrigerator
or simply add equal amount of crude sugar (dilute with 1/3 water) or
molasses.

Note:
 Do not use refined sugar (chemically bleached) because it may affect
the lactic acid bacteria
 Lactic acid bacteria serum (with sugar or molasses) = PURE CULTURE

How to use LABS

To use, you can dilute this pure culture with 20 parts water.

 NO!!! Chemically treated water, like chlorine.

 Chlorine can kill live microorganisms
 Diluted form (1:20 ratio)
= basic lactic acid bacteria concoction.

Idea behind LABs supplementation

Balance
 Our bodies are dependent upon bacteria.

 Beneficial bacteria residing in the colon generate nutrients from waste

 Promote the production of certain classes of antibodies (aid in the

destruction of competing, or potentially disease-causing bacteria).

Imbalance? When?

 Intake of too many antibiotics

- Often life saving

- Targeted to kill all bacteria (including
life saving ones needed for proper
immune system and digestion)
- Body must work over time to
regenerate good bacteria after exposure
to antibiotics

 Use of too much antibacterial soap (humans)

 Under stress

What happens next?

 Illness
 Prone to allergies (humans)

What to do?

 To increase good bacteria

 to put the body back in balance,

 consume good bacteria

(in the form of Lactobacillus acidophilus (found in yogurt for humans)

and other nutritional supplements)

Probiotics (LABS) supplementation for animals

LABS usage

 Two to four tablespoons added to one gallon water can be used as

your basic spray and can be added to water and feeds of animals.

 For bigger animals, the 2-4 tablespoons of this diluted lactic acid
bacteria serum should be used without diluting it further with water.

LABS application

 Lactic acid bacteria serum can be applied to plant leaves to fortify

phyllosphere microbes, to soil and compost.

 Of course, it will help improve digestion and nutrient assimilation for

animals and other applications mentioned before. For any kind of
imbalance, be it in the soil or digestive system, lacto bacilli can be of
help.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES: After reading this information sheet, you must be

able to:

1. Know how to label and record concoctions

INTRODUCTION:

Labeling is very important in order for us to know what concoction we

are going to use. It is also important to label storage areas where we put our
produce for easier management. Recording is also practiced to determine
the life span and utilization of each concoctions.

To maintain cleanliness and orderliness in the concoction room, the

following must be observed:

 Labelled storage area classified according to concoction processes;

 Labelled production lines;
 The labeled tool cabinets and equipment (brooms, clean cloth for
wiping wet object/area, etc.)
 The room shall be well ventilated, free from disturbances and free
from any direct heat coming from the sun, machine and electricity.
 Prepare periodic schedules for cleaning and a checklist indicator that
orderliness had been done.
 Maintain a record book indicating the life span and utilization of each
of the concoction extracts.

  Maintain clean sanitation foot rugs at the entrance of the concoction
room.
 Put rule signs at the room readable at eye level such as: No Smoking,
maintain silence, wipe your foot at the entrance sanitation rugs, wear
PPE, etc.

To keep records in every concoctions:

 The record book must contain data such as description of the

concoction; date of formulation; time of harvest; storage and expiry
date; rate of application per animal, plant, and area: consumption
date; responsible person; inventory of concoction; refill and
replacement of concoctions.
 The record of each concoction will describe the date and time, and the
consumption history of the concoctions for the organic farmer to
determine the amount consumed per plant, animal, and for
fertilization.
 The record book shall describe also the rate of formulating
concoctions per application.
 The record book shall determine the dosage in each application per
animal and plant.

PPE must be worn in the concoction’s production line:

 Use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) needs demonstration on

its proper utilization by trained personnel. PPE are worn in the
concoction production line to protect concoction products from
contamination and preserve its purity.
 The use of masks, books, hair net, gloves and clean utensils are to
protect concoction products from the falling hair, saliva and sweat
from the organic farmer/worker.
