Let Us Review!
The kinds of concoctions that are used as fertilizers are:

• Indigenous Micro-Organism (IMO),

• Lactic Acid Bacteria Serum (LABS); and
• Fish Amino Acid (FAA)
The kinds of concoction used for livestock are:

• Natural Health Enhancer (3 Cs)

• Natural Calphos Micro Nutrients (CALPHOS)
• Natural Lactic Acid Bacterium Syrup (LABS) Enzymes
• Beneficial Indigenous Micro-Organism (IMO)
• Natural Immune Booster (OHM – Oriental Herbs Nutrients)
• Natural Taste Enhancer (Fermented Fruit Juice – FFJ)
• Natural Growth Enhancer (Fermented Plant Juice – FFJ)
To protect the concoctions from any form of contaminations, the following must
be observed:

• Use of indigenous materials like bamboo

• Use of protective materials such as screen, covers, stray animals
• Wash materials during preparation
• Use of PPE properly
• Clean/sterilize utensils to be used
• Spray OHN, LABS, IMO
• Clean and sanitize the area
• Avoid direct exposure to sunlight
• Maintain required temperature
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. 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. Concoction products are not
harmful to the environment and to human as well as to the animals. 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.
The basic tools/facilities/equipment used in the preparation of concoctions
are:

• Knives
• Container
• Chopping board
• Manila paper
• Masking tape
• Pentel pen
• Rubber bond
• Table weighing scale
Concoctions are packaged due to the following reasons:

• For the identification and indicate time of harvest as for recordkeeping

• It can be a basis for subsequent practice

In storing concoctions, the following must be observed:

• Store in clean, cool, dark place and free from disturbance

• Label the concoction products properly, indicating dates of formulation
and harvest
The following are the ways in using concoctions as food supplement for
livestock:

• Fermented Fruit Juice – a natural taste enhancer. Mix two (2)

tablespoons of Juice to one (1) liter of clean drinking water at a dosage of
two (2) times week. In severe cases double the dosage. This can be mixed
also with the feeds at the same frequency.
• Fermented Plant Juice – a natural growth enhancer. Mix two (2)
tablespoons of juice to one (1) liter of clean drinking water at a dosage of
two (2) times week. In severe cases double the dosage. This can be mixed
also with the feeds at the same frequency.
• Fermented Amino Acid – a natural amino acid. Two (2) table spoon of
FAA mix with one (1) liter of clean drinking water at a dosage of two (2)
times a week. In severe cases double the dosage. This can be mixed also
with the feeds at the same frequency
• Oriental Herbs Nutrients – a natural immune booster. Mix two (2)
tablespoon of OHN in one (1) liter of clean drinking water at the dosage of
2 – 4 times a week. In severe cases, triple the dosage. This can also
mixed with the feeds at the same frequency.
• Indigenous Micro-Organism – a beneficial micro-organism. Two (2) table
spoon of IMO mix with one (1) liter of clean drinking water at a dosage of
two (2) times a week. In severe cases, double the dosage. This can be
mixed with the feeds of the same frequency.
• Lactic Acid Bacteria Serums – a natural enzymes. Two (2) tablespoon of
LABS mix with one (1) liter of clean drinking water at a dosage of two (2)
times a week. In severe cases, triple the dosage. This can be mixed with
the feeds of the same frequency.
• Natural Calphos Micro-Nutrients – two (2) tablespoons of CALPHOS mix
with one (1) liter of clean drinking water at a dosage of two (2) to four (4)
times a week. In severe cases, double the dosage. This can be mixed with
the feeds of the same frequency.
• 3Cs (Celery, Carrots, Cucumber)- a natural health enhancer. Mix five (5)
tablespoons of 3Cs with one half (1/2) liter of clean drinking water and
administer it orally to the animal (good for fever, poor appetite).
As fertilizer, the following concoctions could be considered as:

• Indigenous Micro-Organism (IMO) – beneficial indigenous micro-

organism. Add two (2) tablespoons of IMO with one (1) liter of water and
apply to Organic Fertilizer (OF) mixture.
• Lactic Acid Bacteria Serums (LABS) – a natural enzyme. Add two (2)
tablespoons of Labs with one (1) liter of water and apply to Organic
Fertilizer (OF) mixture. Or spray to the plant base one (1) to two (2) times
a week.
• Fermented Amino Acid (FAA) - is a natural amino acid that enhances the
fertility of the soil. In a mixture of two (2) tablespoons of FAA with one (1)
liter of clean water spray to the plant base and nearby soil one (1) to two
(2) times a week.
To properly harvest and handle concoctions:

ORGANIC AGRICULTURE

COMPETENCY BASED
LEARNING MATERIALS Date Prepared:
(CBLM) FEBRUARY 2024
 • To be able to harvest concoctions in a right time, maintain a record that
serves as guide on the date of harvesting it.
• Keep concoctions in a clean container, new harvest must not be sealed
right away but keep the cover not so tighten in a given period, and
provide ventilation.
• Handle the concoctions properly by storing it in cool, clean place free
from any disturbances and not exposed directly to the heat of the sun,
fire or any heat produced by machines.
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 concoction:

• 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.
