Fermented Fruit Juice (Activated by EM1) 1 Liter

Fermented Fruit Juice (FFJ)

is an organic preparation widely used in organic farming practices. It acts as a plant stimulant, a foliar fertilizer, and a nutritional supplement for crops.
Definition: FFJ is an enzyme-rich liquid extract made from sweet, ripe fruits, fruit vegetables, or root crops, which are fermented with an equal amount of crude sugar or molasses.
Purpose: It is primarily used during the reproductive stage of a plant’s growth (flowering and fruiting) to supply essential nutrients, enzymes, and hormones that support these processes.
Mechanism: The sugar draws the juice, nutrients, and indigenous microorganisms out of the plant material via osmosis. The microorganisms then ferment the mixture, creating a liquid rich in beneficial compounds
Ingredients and Preparation
FFJ is simple to make using basic materials:
Main Ingredient Ripe fruits like banana, papaya, squash, and EM1 molasses.
Uses and Benefits in Gardening:
FFJ is considered a potassium-rich foliar fertilizer and is generally applied after the plant has passed its main vegetative growth stage (where Fermented Plant Juice or FPJ is typically used).
Flower Inducer/Fruit Setter: The primary benefit is promoting abundant flowering and fruit development.
Nutritional Support: It provides the plant with easily available vitamins, enzymes, and microelements, especially potassium (K), which is crucial for fruiting.
Plant Health: It acts as a nutritional enzyme to revitalize crops, increase nutrient bioavailability, and cultivate beneficial microorganisms EM1 in the soil and on the plant.

Application: FFJ is typically diluted with water (e.g., at a ratio of 1:500 to 1:1,000) and applied as a foliar spray or a soil drench. It’s best applied in the early morning or late afternoon to maximize absorption.
