- It is mixed with crude sugar or molasses and fermented for seven days. setting.
- The extracted juice is applied to plants, soil, compost, and animal bedding to
enhance microbial activity and promote plant growth. 3.2. Making FFJ:
2.2. Making FPJ: - Materials: Sweet, ripe fruits (mango, banana, papaya), fruit vegetables
(squash), root crops (camote, cassava, gabi), crude sugar or molasses, ceramic
- Materials: Young and fresh plant parts (kangkong, legumes, bamboo shoots, pots, basin, net bag, cloth bag, paper or cloth for cover, string, bolo, chopping
asparagus shoots, young fruits, etc.), crude sugar or molasses, basin, net bag, board, marking pen, glass jars.
