“We decided to
combine the technology of organic agriculture with the
technology of Homa Farming when Maria de Belen Cajas, a
University student, came for internship. She supplied the
Agnihotra ash. She and her parents, the Architects Alejandro
and Estefania Cajas practice Agnihotra since many years.
It is very difficult to grow tomatoes in Ecuador in winter.
There
are really many problems like: phytophthora, fusarium and
plagues like the "Blacky." It is difficult to work with this solanacea in the rainy months. However, we treated two
tomato varieties, one that is small and juicy, and another
variety for salad. We were really amazed at the results
after two months of treatment with the Agnihotra ash
solution! We saw how the tomato plants kept their green
color and developed wonderfully. The tomatoes didn't
present any attacks of plagues like the phytophthora,
which usually shows up at that time. They stayed free of viruses.
The tomato usually does present virus.
Let us remember that the organic cultivation is more
susceptible to plagues and diseases. But that doesn't occur
with Homa Technology, which also expands the time of
productivity; so it seems that more life was given to the
cultivation. These plants have not received any water in 10
days and you don't see a single fruit that has problem of
bacterial stains, phytophthora, spoilage or fungi. You can
check each plant and each tomato. And you should taste these
tomatoes. They are wonderful! |

Tomatoes
planted outdoors in February, which is the rainy season and this year, 2008, the rains were
very strong. Now, 5 months later, they are still producing.
This
is the eighth harvest of healthy tomatoes! |
We
are now obtaining the eighth harvest in these
tomatoes. Look at these plants! The plants have
already finished their lifespan; however, they are
still producing. I still can take out 300 more
pounds of tomatoes. And note that this is a hybrid
that we have used for 5 years and we sowed it this
winter. The experience that we have had in other
years with this crop is that we get only 2 or 3
harvests due to the virus attacks, even if we use
resistant varieties.
There is
also a symptom that is manifested in the tomato,
which is called “Culillo”. This is |
caused by the
deficiency of calcium in the soil and inadequate
watering. It is a brown spot on the tomato. We have
not found a single “Culillo” attack. And I have not
applied any calcium treatment to the soil.
This is very important to face the Global Food
Crisis. People can do this type of farming in their
patio, in their garden, on the roof, etc. Homa
Farming can give products which are healthy,
nutritious, filled with vitamins, zero agro-toxins
and at a very low cost. |

We also
applied Homa Farming Supertechnology to bell peppers
which were already suffering from an insects attack,
but after applying the Agnihotra ash, the plants
began to emit new leaves, new sprouts and the
production went on. We were surprised because this
crop, which had already finished its cycle and was
almost completely dead, started to produce." |
