When JADAM Microorganism Solution (JMS) Cultivation Fails, Try This Method
A farmer who experienced poor foam formation during the first microbial cultivation after winter found that vigorous cultivation could be achieved by filling a tank with water, running an aerator for 24 hours, and then starting the cultivation process. The farmer subsequently improved the stability of microbial cultivation by using the aerator only during the initial water preparation stage rather than continuously throughout cultivation. This practical experience suggests that when microbial cultivation does not proceed well, checking the water preparation process before changing leaf mold or potato starch can be a valuable on-farm troubleshooting technique.

Harmless to Bees, Fatal to Pests: JMP.S Enables 10-Fold Yield Increase in Goji Berry Farming
Goji berry grower Jin-hyoung Kim has developed a practical cultivation system by improving soil before planting, applying JADAM Microorganism Solution (JMS) every 10 days, and managing flowering with controlled irrigation and monopotassium phosphate foliar sprays. His use of JADAM Microbial Pesticide with Sulfur (JMP.S) at dawn and leaf blower harvesting demonstrates how JADAM Organic Farming can combine pest management, pollinator protection, reduced labor, and efficient goji berry production.
