Fermented Plant Juice (FPJ) is made from plant leaves such as mugwort, dropwort and whatever grasses available. It is also made from thinned crop plants such as axillary buds and young fruits. With crude sugar, juice of the plant is extrated and gets fermented. The liquid is applied to soil, plan leaves and animal bedding to fortify microbial activities.

Tthe most effective materials are the plants that farmers are going to apply to. For example, FPJ made from thinned axillary buds or young fruits of cucumber is most effective when it is applied to cucumber.

The amount of material depends on the size of a pot in which plants are packed. Without washing, mix the picked plants with crude sugar (half or one third weight of the plants) gently and pack them fully in a ceramic pot or equivalent such as a plastic pot. Put a stone or equivalent (approximately half to same weight as the plant materials) on the top of the material one day to get rid of air to avoid contamination. Aftrer removing the stone, the material should fill two thirds of the pot. Cover the mouth of the pot with a sheet of paper and a piece of string. Keep the pot in a cool dark place. In 5 to 10 days, the plant juice is extracted by osmetic pressure and fermentation occurs in the pot. Plant color will change from gree to yellow or brown and will smell sweet and alcoholic. After discarding the plant residues, the completed FPJ can be preserved in a cool dark place.

FPJ can be applied to fields to accelerate soil microorganism activities. it can be applied to plant leaves to fortify phyllosphere microbes. Furthermore, FPJ is applied to animal bedding to encourage manure decomposition. Farmers sometimes feed FPJ to weaken animals to strengthen microbial activities in gastrointestinal tracts. Normal concentration is 0.2%. Most farmers enjoy drinking FPJ with vinegar as a fresh nutritious beverage. Concentration for drinking is 20-25%.
