Natural Organic Farming Guide (Source: TOA V.1.1)

Organic farming has become increasingly popular as a sustainable and environmentally friendly method of agriculture. By utilizing natural ingredients and biological processes, this approach promotes healthier soils and higher quality crops without relying on synthetic chemicals. This natural organic farming guide compiles time-tested recipes and techniques for making organic fertilizers and plant growth stimulators. Drawing from traditional wisdom and farmers’ experiences, the guide offers practical methods to help cultivate productive and healthy plants through eco-friendly practices.

NPK + Organic Plant Growth Regulators (PGR)

Ingredients:

• Nitrogen from azolla, moss, or fern plants
• Phosphorus from banana stems and banana corms
• Potassium from coconut coir fibers
• Vitamin B complex
• DNA and RNA elements from chili membranes (phospholipids)
• Dishwashing soap
• Alcohol
• Organic Plant Growth Regulators (PGR) extracted from 6 red onions, young coconut water, and bean sprouts.

Preparation Method:

Mix 3 kg of organic NPK ingredients into a 10-liter drum with EM4 (effective microorganisms) and 9 spoons of sugar. Seal tightly and ferment for one month.
Crush one bottle of Vitamin B complex, mix with 30 ml of alcohol, and let stand for one day.
Grind ½ kg of chili peppers, add 1 liter of drinking water, 2 spoons of TSP (triple superphosphate), 9 spoons of lemon juice, stir well, add 300 ml of alcohol, seal tightly, and let stand for one day to allow phospholipid membrane sediment to form. Filter and store the sediment.

Use the same fermentation process for organic PGR from onions and coconut water.
After all processes, mix NPK + Vitamin B + chili DNA/RNA + PGR and apply at 3 ml per liter of water to chili plants.

Explanation:

This mixture combines essential macronutrients (NPK), vitamins, and natural hormones (PGR) from organic sources to stimulate plant growth and enhance nutrient uptake, promoting healthier and more vigorous chili plants.
