The Headquarters of the Zone Leoncio Prado-Padre Abad

Certifies:

That since 7 months, in the area of Alto Huallaga, an Organic and Ecological technique called HOMA THERAPY, is being applied in the rejuvenation of the crops of the region, achieving a substantial reduction in the existence of different pathogenic agents. As a consequence, plagues and diseases were eradicated, the yield of the harvest was increased, the fruit grew healthy, with better color, taste, weight, texture, etc. Since many years efforts have been made to get out of the emergency situation concerning plant health with methods such as: cultural control, chemical control, biological control, legal control, etc., without having achieved any success.

In the zone of Alto Huallaga to date we have 30 modules established and more are being installed in agricultural areas in which HOMA THERAPY is being applied, each one with 40 hectares. This makes a total of about 1,200 hectares. All of them are under an integrated system of permanent crops such as plantains, bananas, papayas, cocoa, citrus, avocados, coffee, tea, star fruit, mango, etc. These cultivations are combined with plants of short vegetative cycle such as rice, corn, soya, nuts, sesame, etc., and complemented with apiculture activity and breeding of cows and bulls.

We give full support to Dr. Gloria Guzman Mendez in her capacity as expert and the person in charge of AGRICULTURAL HOMA THERAPY in our area of influence and we have considered to give total support to the farmers who have been working in the application of HOMA THERAPY, because with their work, they are making a contribution in favor of agriculture, of the conservation of soils, forests and the preservation of the environment in the area of Alto Huallaga.
