VERMI COMPOSTING
In the process of composting, we pass the partially decomposed chicken dung thru
the digestive system of the earthworms to remove the antibiotic that is added in the
drinking water of the poultry, because Japan Organic food buyers do not accept antibiotic
to be included in the production input.
The Organic Banana experiment was started in June
2009 and went on ‘till June 2011, but further extended
to Yr 2016 to simulate the effect of climate change that
seem to have altered the physiological development,
growth and behavior of the banana plant and ultimately
its cultural care and management requirements.
This is to make the technology more responsive to
the dynamic changes in rainfall and temperature that
significantly affect banana plant nutrition and
prevalence of pest and diseases-all of which determines
the yield.

COMMERCIAL APPLICATION OF THE ORGANIC
BANANA PRODUCTION TECHNOLOGY IN SIBULAN BY
ORGANIC PRODUCER AND EXPORTER CORP. (OPEC)
The equally important but hardly noticed long
term benefits in Organic banana farming are the
rehabilitation and restoration of the soil health,
improvement of the physico-chemical,
microbiological and hydrological properties of
the soil.

From the 3 Tables above, it can be seen that the highest humber
of boxes per hectare per year was produced in the Upper slope,
followed closely by the Mid-Slope and the Lowland.
