    This document discusses the benefits of organic agriculture and fermented plant juice (FPJ) as an organic fertilizer. It provides a step-by-step process to make FPJ by combining plant materials, molasses or brown sugar, and water in a 1:1:1 ratio. The mixture ferments for one week before being diluted and applied to plants. Using organic methods like FPJ increases soil fertility over time, controls weeds naturally, avoids water pollution, and has no harmful effects on farmer health. In contrast, chemical fertilizers decrease soil fertility, pollute water sources, and negatively impact health. The document promotes adopting organic practices for sustainable agriculture.

    Fermented Plant Juice

    (Organic Fertilizer)
    Our Goal
    • To understand the
    importance of organic
    agriculture method of
    cultivation
    • To create awareness among
    the students and farmers to
    conserve soil
    Our Mission:

    How can we grow


    enough food without
    polluting our
    environment ?
    Comparative studies
    Inorganic Method Organic Method

    • Results in better yield in • Constant yield through out the


    beginning but gradually yield years
    decreases
    • Deteriorates fertility of soil • Fertility of soil increases
    • Destroys the microorganisms • Retains microorganisms
    • Causes water pollution • No water pollution
    • Harmful effects on farmers • No harmful effects on farmers
    health health
    • Difficult to control the weeds • Weeds can be controlled by
    organic pesticides
    •Maintenances cost in high • Less maintenance cost
    Observations of Agriculture Officer
    • Majority farmers use chemical fertilizers &
    pesticides very often
    • Fertility of soil decreased due to increase in
    use of chemical fertilizers which resulted in
    reduction in crop yields every year
    • Soil pollution is very high leading top &
    ground water pollution
    • Farmer suffers from serious health hazards
    like : Skin allergies, Respiratory deceases,
    etc.,
    • Few farmers meet experts for counseling on
    best practices
    • Though few farmers have undergone
    training on agricultural practices, they
    hardly implement
    Steps in Making FPJ
    • STEP 1
    Combine the raw materials
    (see Things You'll Need
    below) in a 1:1:1 ratio.
    Example: 1 kg. plant materials,
    1 kg. molasses/brown sugar, 1
    gallon (3.8 L) water. This can be
    reduced, just remember the
    ratio.
    STEP 2

    Place the materials in a


    large water-proof container.
    Mix the materials together until
    the sugar is dissolved in water.
    STEP 3

    Cover the container with a


    piece of cloth and secure
    with a rubber band.
    STEP 4

    Place the container in a


    quiet, cool and shaded
    location (such as a garage).
    Make sure the container won't
    be disturbed.
    STEP 5
    Leave the container for
    about a week. Do not disturb
    or move it as much as
    possible.
    – A week later, you will
    notice molds growing on
    the surface. The liquid will
    have a sweet-sour smell.
    It may be disturbing but
    its worth it. It is a sign
    that beneficial bacteria
    has inhabited the liquid.
    STEP 6
    Leave the container for
    about a week. Do not disturb
    or move it as much as
    possible.
    – A week later, you will
    notice molds growing on
    the surface. The liquid will
    have a sweet-sour smell.
    It may be disturbing but
    its worth it. It is a sign
    that beneficial bacteria
    has inhabited the liquid.
    STEP 7
    Mix the liquid thoroughly with a
    stick.
    STEP 8
    • Strain the liquid into a
    large plastic bottle,
    using a strainer. Leave
    enough space for the
    bacteria to breath. The
    solid materials can be
    placed into the compost
    pile, if you have.
    Otherwise, throw it in the
    trash.
    STEP 9
    • Put the bottle cap loosely on to
    allow air to enter.
    STEP 10
    • Place the bottle in a dark,
    protected area such as a
    garage.
    STEP 11
    • Application: Mix 1 cup of
    the liquid to 1 gallon (3.8 L)
    of chemical-free water. It is
    best applied early in the
    morning or late afternoon.
    Use the diluted liquid to
    water the plants at their
    bases.
    – For most plants, apply the
    diluted FPJ at least once a
    week.
    Conclusion
    With the increased and prolonged use of chemical
    fertilizers the fertility of the soil reduces and thus the
    rate of yield also reduces .
    With the use of organic fertilizers the soil becomes
    enriched with nutrients and the fertility of the soil
    goes on increasing gradually thus yielding more
    qualitative and quantitative yield.
    The investment for fertilizers goes on increasing
    with use of chemical fertilizers organic fertilizers while
    the investment for fertilizers goes on decreasing with
    use of organic fertilizers .
    The use of organic fertilizer is eco-friendly whereas
    the use of chemical fertilizers harms the natural
    balance.
    Thank you and God bless us
    all!
