Here is a guide to what often happened in the process of obtaining organic certification for farmers who do organic farming in the United States using the JADAM method. The certification body practitioners argue that sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and potassium hydroxide (KOH) are not permitted in organic farming.
However, in these cases, the staff in charge was often not familiar with the permitted substances under the USDA Organic Regulations. The following is the regulations on permitted substances set by USDA (U.S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE).
Show this regulation to the certification officer. By providing this information, American farmers are being certified organic by the JADAM method.
JADAM Natural Pesticides comply with USDA Organic Regulations. Thank you!
Can you give us the name of the organic certification agency and/or the agent in the USA, that are allowing the use of JADAM sulfur and JADAM wetting agent? Every certification officer that I have contacted has said their agency will not allow the use of JADAM sulfur or JADAM wetting agent because of the potassium and sodium hydroxides used in their manufacture. This rejection was even after the giving them your above lists.

There was a controversy over whether caustic soda and caustic potassium were allowed for organic farming, but all were resolved and there was no problem in obtaining organic cultivation certification. We are trying to connect to related American farmers, but the connection is still not working.
The fourth attached letter is an opinion from the American Organic Materials Association (OMRI). OMRI has sent comments that JADAM's method is suitable for organic farming.

Are you able to provide any information regarding organic certification using JADAM in Australia? We are a certified vineyard and winery and have contacted our certifying body, ACO, about using JADAM and were rejected on all solutions except the JHS and JMS.
