    CHAPTER III. SUSTAINABLE PRACTICES (Pest Related)

    Oriental Herbal Nutrients (OHN)

    OHN is a mixture of edible, aromatic herbs extracted with alcohol and fermented with
    brown sugar. It is used to discourage the growth of anaerobic, potentially pathogenic
    microbes and encourage beneficial aerobic microbes in the soil and on plants.

    A. Materials

    1. Ginger, garlic and bulb onions


    2. Manila paper (unprinted)
    3. Crosscut bamboo or clay jar or glass jar
    4. Plastic straw (for tying)
    5. Muscovado sugar
    6. Coconut vinegar, Beer or Gin

    B. Procedure

    1. Finely chop half-a-kilo each of ginger, bulb onion and garlic.


    2. Transfer chopped spices into a bamboo through or clay/ glass jar and pour 2 liters
    coconut vinegar. Mix well and cover with a clean Manila paper and tie with plastic straw.
    3. Preserve for a duration of 12 hours then remove cover and add 1 kilo of muscovado
    sugar. Replace the cover.
    4. Place container in a cool place away from direct sunlight.
    5. After 4 to 5 days of fermentation add gin.
    6. Replace cover, return to storing place and retrieve after 7 to 10 days. Strain liquid from
    container and place in plastic bottles.
    7. OHN is now ready to use.
    8. You can extract liquid 5 times from this preparation. Add beer or vinegar into container
    and ferment using the same procedure.

    C. Uses and Application

    1. Add 2 tablespoons of OHN to every liter of water. Spray mixture into leaves or soil, at
    both ends of the day (4:00-6:00 AM or 4:00 PM) when microorganisms are most active
    to the following crops:
    • Rice, corn, Vegetables, Fruits and Bananas — from planting up to bearing stage.
    (Apply twice weekly upon indications of insects infestation and aphids.)
    2. Used as natural anti-biotic for plants and animals. Garlic has high level of sulfur which is
    a good fungicide.
    3. Used on chicks, chickens and sick animals.
    4. Sprayed to plant leaves to fortify phyllosphere microbes.
    5. Treatment for fungal problems of plants: downy mildew, powdery mildew.
