It is the solution to rising cost of expensive fertilizers and dangerous pest control chemicals. BioJadi is proven to be able to be a STAND ALONE – ALL IN ONE replacement of fertilizer.

BioJadi consists of 
• Bio-available Macro Nutrients such as Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Potassium, Magnesium, Sodium and Calcium. 
• Bio-available Micro Nutrients such as Manganese, Copper and Zinc
• Bio-available Organic Nutrients such as Humic Acid, Amino Acid and Proteins
• Activated Enzymes™ – Enzymes are important because it catalyzes the most commonly-used chemical reactions of plants and soil. Enzymes are important for plants in the modification of isoflavonoids. Enzymes play a role in modifying the structure of plant cell walls helping the plants build up diseases resistance and pest resistance and thereby prevent yield losses. In the soil, Enzymes are important as it catalyzes several important reactions necessary for the life processes of micro-organisms in soils and the stabilisation of soil structure, the decomposition of organic wastes, organic matter formation and nutrient cycling. The enzymes in BioJadi are produced and are then ‘activated’ for effective bio-assimilation by our proprietary biotechnology process.

• Jurassic Microbes™ – A special selection of indigenous microbes (those that occur naturally in a given environment). Jurassic Microbes are pre-grown in our proprietary microbial cultures to perform specific remediation tasks in the BioJadi formulation, breaking down important nutrients and activating enzymes, making it bio-available and also activating soil into complete eco-systems. Our Jurassic microbes are specially selected from the oldest tropical rainforest in the world, screened for the desired biological activity and hardiness. It is then grown and cultured in large quantities using our proprietary technology. The cultures are then harvested, tested for purity, and formulated into BioJadi.

As a foliar spray, BioJadi mobilizes important essential nutrients directly into the plants by the tissue on the leaves and the branches. This increases the rate of photosynthesis on the leaves and by doing so stimulate uptake of nutrients by the root system as well. The microbes in BioJadi also help carry bio-available nutrients directly into the plants which are more easily and efficiently utilised as they do not have to be dissolved and go though the soil solution followed by uptake of the root system which is inefficient and may be totally lost by runoff. 

Foliar Nutrients in BioJadi can quickly correct any nutrient imbalance, and is by far the most effective and efficient way to apply on all types of plants, as they are more easily available and can be immediately utilized by the plants in comparison to soil nutrients.

BioJadi Power on 800 acres Papaya Farm


BioJadi sprayed on the ground soil will maintain the chemical balance and build a complete eco-system in the soil. The Jurassic Microbes accomplish this by taking part in all the major element transformations (mineralisation and immobilisation) of the soil. They convert the complex organic nutrients into simpler inorganic compounds which are made bio-available so that plants can make use of the nutrients. Jurassic microbes also absorb the simpler minerals (immobilisation) and prevent them from leaching out and thus conserve the essential nutrients in the soil. When they die, they too become part of organic matter. These essential nutrients are once again mineralised by the microbes for plant use. This turnover of root tissues and microbial cells that releases organically bound nutrients that are bio-available makes the soil eco-system complete and ideal for optimum fertilization.

Black Sooty Mould on Lime tree Organic Challenge

We have a couple Lime tree with Black Sooty Mould and we want to treat it organically. My initial recommendation was to prune it heavily, treat it and let it regrow. But for a commercial farm that shall lengthen the incubation time, and in commercial, time is money. After getting very confident with our AgroSol, we decided to try it without pruning.



Black sooty mold is a fungal growth that is caused by aphid infestations. The aphids excrete a sticky substance called honeydew as they feed on the leaves and stems of the lime tree. The aphids alone usually cause only minor damage. The black sooty mold feeds on the honeydew. It forms a black, powdery substance over the leaves and stems, which is not only unattractive, but can be destructive. In severe cases, it can stunt growth and kill the leaves. The mold sometimes grows on the fruit, as well.

We decide to give it a bath, a small dab of detergent and wood vinegar and some rubbing. 1 tank of liquid, we manage clear just a small section.


We waited a while for it to dry off. We spray with our special mixture blend
1) AgroSol Pure Plant Energy 1:400
2) WetPro 
3) Wood Vinegar 1:500
4) Variegated Indian Borage (Mexican mint)
5) BioRichfield 2.5 kg
6) 10 liters of clean water sprayed on the tree and soil.
11 days later, we got these.









Here is my Variegated Indian Borage. My friend is propagating this at his farm as a pest repellent.

Durian Trees Challenge, Rhizoctonia Solani, Organic treatment.



Just concluded our trial for Durian trees with Rhizoctonia Solani with great success. We want to inspire other planters that now it's year 2018, we can do organic planting, easily, safely and economically then before.

 This farm is located in Ulu Langat, Selangor and belong to a friend of mine, Ghazali. Since he wanted an organic treatment and me want to promote organic planting, we got together and decided to test it out in 5 of his Durian trees.



Our goal was to treat the durian trees of Rhizoctonia Solani (Hawar Daun) which had infected the whole farm severely. Some trees are killed, some are stunned and not growing. We want to make them healthy again and make them start growing.



Organic products that we used were

1) AgroSol, Pure Plant Energy to enhance photosynthesis, so as to induce new growth and improve overall health of the tree from leafs to roots.

2) BioRichFieldFeeding the Soil to Feed the Plant. A compost based bio-fertilizer enrich and inoculated with high efficacy microbes, fungi and food for the microbes. Complimented with Mycorrhiza Fungi and Nano Gel technology.

3) Ken Bio Defender, a microbe based technology. These microbes shall resides in the soil and roots to fend off bacteria wilt.

We started our trial on 10th October 2017 and we set a time line of 3 months.We felt that 3 months is a good time line as initial feedback from planters is that even if we were to succeed in organic, it shall takes too long a time. We actually started getting favorable results ahead of our dateline.

Our approach is pretty simple, repeatable and upscale-able in farm by normal farm hands. We dig a small trench along the drip line on the higher ground. We used approximately 3 kg of BioRichfields. We cover back with the original soil. The reason is that we want to create a richer organic matter to house the good microbes and also to have contact of the BioRichfield with the roots. This is important for the Mycorrhiza Fungi. With the cover up, we are also protecting the microbes from strong UV light and to create adequate heat. We further re-in-force with Ken Bio Defender to specifically target the Rhizoctonia Solani through absorption by the roots. 9 gm of Bio Defender was mixed with 6 liters of clean water and drench around the trunk of the tree.


We treat the tree with AgroSol so as to induce higher photosynthesis to produce more energy for the tree to recover and grow.This is a holistic approach as we target the Rhizoctonia and address the need for growth. This seems to work very well as a combination.

Response was rather fast due to the effect of AgroSol. We see new buds appearing starting from week 3. This increase in photosynthesis also results in higher uptake of nutrients that we had made
available for the tree's use.

These are the condition of the leaves at the start of the trial. Most were heavily infested. We can only treat and make the new leaves healthy and suppress the old leaves from spreading the
Rhizoctonia.

























These are the leaves at the moment and with this we officially ends the trial. Yes we can do organic farming, easily, safely and economically. If you are not doing it for yourself, please do it for our next generation.

I am extremely satisfied with this challenge because it's so inspiring  and now there is at least another organic planter in Malaysia. Thank you.

Wetting Agent



Happy New Year 2018.
Extremely excited this year as I had been stuck in "InBetweenProjects" for quite a while and things are beginning to fall into places. Hope to get busy soon.

Since it's drizzling today and have to cancel my trial for spraying AgroSol Pure Plant Energy, had some time to sit back and reflect on "wetting agent" I was also discussing this with my Principle a few weeks ago and i was made to realize that this is a huge market and billions are used to funds this research.

My initial perception was there are the same (almost) products; wetting agent, surfactants, sticking agents, adjuvants, dispersant, penetrants...Agrosol recommend a wetting agent to be used with every application, unless already present in another product. I had tried applying without wetting agents, with wetting agent and with Too Much wetting agent. Found out that Agrosol works from without wetting agents depending on plants and environmental condition to with wetting agent. It causes plant damage when Too Much wetting agent.

The waxy surfaces of many insects, fungi, and plants make it difficult for most water-based spray solutions to penetrate their target. To overcome this barrier, adjuvants have been developed, however it can determine how well the spray works. When used inappropriately, they can cause crop damage. Adjuvant is a broad term describing any additive to a spray tank that enhances it's activity. Examples of adjuvants are surfactants, spreader stickers, crop oils, anti-foaming materials, buffering agents, and compatibility agents. Surfactants are adjuvants that facilitate and accentuate the emulsifying, dispersing, spreading, wetting, or other surface modifying properties of liquids.


Many pesticides require the addition of an adjuvant, and some do not. When applying fungicides, insecticides or herbicides without a recommended adjuvant, 30 percent to 50 percent reduction in pest control can be expected. Same goes fro Agrosol. Adjuvants may cause damage to a plant if the wrong adjuvant is used or if it is used at too high a concentration.

Today’s Adjuvant Menu   
Surfactants Surfactants are adjuvants that reduce surface tension within the external surface layers of water. There are four different types of surfactants:

Anionic Surfactants are negatively charged, and enhance foaming and other spreading properties. For example, shampoo for hair contains sodium or ammonium laureth sulfate, which is the preferred anionic surfactant for hair. Using an anionic surfactant in the greenhouse can cause problems with sprayers that have an agitator, or any system where the foam could disrupt water flow or pump suction.
Cationic Surfactants are positively charged, and are often very toxic to plants as they can disrupt membrane ion balance. Cationic surfactants are not widely used for pest control, but they are more commonly used in heavy-duty cleaning compounds. Don’t grab a bottle of engine wash surfactant used to clean the tractor and add it to your pesticides when spraying Easter lilies. The results can be devastating.
Amphoteric Surfactants are unusual in that they will form either a positive or negative charge in water,
depending upon the pH of the solution. Their use in horticulture crop protection is rare. These products are used very specifically to match the properties of specific pesticide formulations to carrier components or other materials, and are generally not available for use in the greenhouse as a stand-alone product.
Nonionic Surfactants do not have a charge in solution and are the most commonly used surfactants for the horticulture industry. When used properly, they as a class do not harm plants, remain stable, and do a good job of breaking water surface tension. However, application rate is critical. When applied at too high a rate plant injury may result.
Nonionic surfactants are now being researched in relation to controlling fungal infection, especially in hydroponic systems. When a fungal zoospore is coated with a nonionic surfactant, it does not function well. Dr. Ann Chase (pathologist at the University of Florida) and others are currently reviewing the effect of these products on fungi.
Wetting Agents are commonly mixed in growing media. They allow the media, such as peat moss, which is often hydrophobic (water-hating) when dry, to accept water into its collective structure. Wetting agents work much like surfactants, breaking the surface tension of water and helping the water transfer from particle to particle. However, their chemistry is different from most surfactants. Many are made up of polyoxyethylene esters, ethoxy sulfates, or derivations of these components mixed with nonionic surfactants.

When applied at too high a rate, a wetting agent can cause membrane permeability problems and cause toxicities that kill roots and leaves.

Occasionally, media from commercial companies contain too much wetting agent. This can cause disfigured, off-color, slow growing plants. Temperature and weather can affect how the plant will react to the presence of a large amount of wetting agent in bark or peat soils.
Other Adjuvants
Penetrants dissolve or penetrate waxy layers on leaves and allow other chemicals to interface with plant cells or insect epidermal tissue and enter the spaces between the epidermal cells, sometimes called “cell free space.” Penetrants can contain petroleum by-products, crop oils, complex alcohols, and other hydrocarbon-based materials. They work well under very specific conditions and with very specific crops grown outdoors. In the greenhouse, stand-alone products are rare.
Anti-condensates
Greenhouse walls made of various films, especially in poly houses with poor ventilation, have condensate problems and drip in the most inopportune places. Anti-condensates act like surfactants, making it easier for water to spread throughout the surface of the film instead of collecting as droplets on the plastic and dripping on plants. By creating a film, the water can be carried off as a thin sheet along the pipe or plastic film. They work great, but should never, ever be used on plants or on soil.
Thickeners are used to reduce drift of sprays
They may contain polyacrylamide, polyethylene polymers, polysaccharides (long-chain sugars), or vegetable oils. These products not only help volatile pesticides become less volatile, they also cause the carrier solution to become more viscous and heavier. This is beneficial when spraying an outdoor production area near a housing subdivision. It reduces drift, odor, and waste. However, when thickeners are applied at too high a dosage, they can cause surface deposits on foliage, excessive exposure to the pesticide, or clog spray nozzles. Use these adjuvants only in outdoor situations and only after reading the label for information about compatibility and phytotoxicity.
Emulsifiers
Emulsifier agents work by coating tiny particles or groups of the liquid molecules and preventing them from coagulating with other like molecules. Unlike oil and vinegar, the emulsifiers allow oil and water solutions to mix. These products are usually added by the manufacturer and are commonly mixed with petroleum-based pesticides to help them mix more readily with water.
Spreader and Stickers
Nonionic surfactant damage to pansy (Viola spp.), Note regrowth.
Spreaders are compounds that cause the surface tension of the pesticide to be reduced in such a way that it easily spreads into a very thin film over a surface. Like surfactants, spreaders and stickers increase the efficiency of the pesticide dramatically. They may contain fatty acids, latex, aliphatic alcohols, crop oils such as cottonseed, or inorganic oils. Each formulation is very different.
Stickers are very much like thickening agents or oils in that they cause the pesticide solution to adhere to the leaf surface, resisting rain, evaporation and runoff. Some products use emulsified polyetheylenes, others use polymerized resins, fatty acids or petroleum distillates. Stickers are commonly used in field crops (like corn and soybeans) where residue on leaves is not a problem. However, in greenhouses, they can cause a mess, especially on leaves with indentations such as Pileas, or hairy plants such as Dusty Miller. Some spreader/sticker combinations cause phytotoxicity in tender annuals and herbs.

The effect of excess soil wetting agent on pansy (Viola spp.) foliage.
Oils

There are two types of oil: crop oils that are derived from soybean and other crops, and inorganic oils that come from petroleum refineries. Some are used as suffocates, which cover the insect and cut of its air supply. Others are used as penetrants to break apart the chitin layers (such as with scales) and cause the insect to die. Still others are used like surfactants, forming film over the leaf, breaking down the cuticle, and allowing the pesticide to enter its target. Some oils are blended with surfactants, to take advantage of the properties of both adjuvants. Oils are rarely recommended for greenhouse use.
New Product Classes
Alkyl polyglucosides. As complex as this term sounds, it simply refers to modified sugars. It has been found that some modified sugar molecules have surfactant-like properties and may be used as spreader/stickers. Although this class of adjuvant has been around for some time, it is only now becoming popular due to its organic origins, biodegradability, and the fact that it is environmentally friendly. There are low foaming and high foaming types, and many are very good wetting agents. Originally developed as environmentally safe cleaning agents (car wash cleaners) in England, they have transitioned to being used in laundry detergents and as agronomic adjuvants. These products have very low potential for phytotoxicity because they are derived from plant sugars. Research on these materials is on-going. Current work indicates they work well with glyphosate herbicide.
Organosilicone surfactant damage to pansy (Viola spp.) leaves when applied in hot (>32ºC) sunny weather
Horticultural oil damage to pansy flower and foliage.
Organosilicates are not exactly new; they were developed in the 1970s, and have many uses including silicone-based sprays for waterproofing. About 10 years ago, their use as spray adjuvants for crop production was discovered. Organosilicate surfactants are very good at increasing the “rainfastness” of pesticides. They also reduce the surface tension and allow everything from micronutrients to fungicides to enter the leaf stomates. These products have phenomenal wetting abilities. Depending on the pesticide they are used with and the application rate, results may be good or bad, so be careful when using these products. Phytotoxicity can occur if these products are used at too high a rate or used when temperatures are above 32 degrees C. Some research suggests that the wetting properties of these surfactants are so good that they can also allow bacteria and fungi to more easily invade plants (via stomata). A sanitary facility, careful applications, and rotation with other surfactants is required to realize the benefits with these products. 


Inorganic Salts

There is continuing research on the use of certain inorganic salts as surfactants. However, most of this work is related to herbicide applications. Many of these products are salts of sodium, potassium and ammonium. Others contain calcium, iron, zinc and magnesium salts and are used in industrial cleaning agents and adjuvants. They also cause plant problems, particularly on greenhouse crops.

So Why Not Just Use Common Kitchen Soaps and Detergents?



orticultural oil / dishwashing liquid damage to pansies.
There are very few adjuvant “soaps” on the market today. Most soaps are in bars and are used for bathing. Also, soaps react with cations in soil and fertilizer and can leave a precipitate residue on foliage. Most greenhouse workers remember gray precipitate on foliage resulting from soap residue.

Today, dishwashing liquids contain both anionic and nonionic surfactants. In most circumstances, their combined effects are synergistic and very potent. None are labeled for use on plants.

Natural Surfactants

Natural surfactants are biodegradable, wetting agents and oils that are processed differently from “crop oils” and alkylated sugars. Materials such as coconut oils, palm oils, castor oils, lanolins, wheat amino acids, and many others have been used in the past, but there is little research to verify these products are effective when used in combination with pesticides or in a greenhouses environment. Furthermore, there is evidence that these products may serve as food sources for bacteria and fungi. Until research gives us confidence in these products, exercise caution when using them.
Bottom Line?

Certain pesticides are recommended to be applied with oils, others with only non-ionic surfactants. The pesticide label specifies whether an adjuvant is needed and which class of adjuvants to use. These recommendations are strict for a reason. Experimenting with surfactants is a risky business. If, after reading the label, you are still unclear about which adjuvant to use, ask the company that produces the pesticide, which is rather difficult especially if you are a small scale farmer. They will tell you if a surfactant is present in the pesticide. There has been much research conducted with adjuvants and adjuvant / pesticide interaction. 

Personally I am using WetPol 800 at their recommended dosage of  5 ml to 8 ml for 18 liters of water. I am purchasing WetPol 800 at RM$18.00 for 4 liters.
