KNF Calculator

If you are not familiar with Korean Natural Farming, it is best to take a short course with KNF instructor.
For abbreviated instruction to KNF, please visit http://www.ctahr.hawaii.edu/WangKH/Downloads/KNF-recipes.pdf
This sphread sheet is not intended to teach how to conduct KNF, but just to provide a tool to calculate how to dilute KNF inputs.

For transplanting or seed treatment, apply ~5-10 ml of SES solution to each seedlings at planting

Estimate how much solution is needed to cover your crop, ten prepare Type II and Type III according to that spray coverage.
Spray the diluted Type II or Type III once a week following the rotation of Type II-Type II-Type III.

First prepare your Type II stock following the ratio indicated above.
For example, 2 cups each of BRV, FPJ and 1 cup each of OHN,FAA, and MA.
Thus, to make Type II spray, you use 10.5 ml of the Type II stock add into 1.5 L of water.
Same method applied to Type III solution.
