Farmers' Testimonies
Agronomist Alex Cordoba's Story
Jaen, Cajamarca
Peru, South America
pineapple
What made us interested in researching and establishing a Homa Resonance Point on our farm, “AgroBien?” Something unusual happened recently. At the office, I keep a pineapple plant, which I like to show, every time a friend comes for a visit, since the farm is quite distant. When I left for vacation in the month of May, this pineapple plant was one year old and still had not developed. Although I had put some fertilizer, it was sick, yellow and did not grow.

guanabana (sour sop)
My son had a guanabana tree which did not give fruits for years. It gave a few, but they were not edible. They were small and dry.

quinoa
cabbage
chamomile
biosol
Usually it is inconceivable that certain plants may produce in places out of their zone. With Homa Super technology, we have seen how ‘quinoa’ produces high yields with great quality on the coastal area, and even better than in their native mountain area.
Lucas Maya's Story

dead tree revived
I am a farmer and practice HOMA Therapy since 1998 when I met Prof. Abel Hernandez. We had a wonderful experience on my farm where a Homa Resonance Point was installed. There was a completely dry tangerine tree that I used to shake in order to collect dry branches for firewood. But Prof. Abel said 'Lucas, do Agnihotra under the tree, because it might revive.'
Our Homa Experience in Our Small Garden
Here everything is in good progress. We are sending you some pictures of the vegetables from our little HOMA ORGANIC GARDEN in Amalner city, which is in the dry land region of Central India where temperatures reach up to 48 degrees in summer.
We planted vegetables like lady finger, two different types of gourd, beans, lemons, etc. We do daily sunrise & sunset Agnihotra & regularly some Om Trambakam Homa.
Sigatoka Negra Project in Panama
In January, 1997, Roger Subotnik and I traveled to Panama to introduce Homa Therapy as a means to combat the plant disease Black Sigatoka. This leaf fungus attacks banana and plantain crops, and has killed thousands of acres of plantain trees in Venezuela and Colombia. Stronger and stronger fungicides have been used to fight the disease, and some success has been achieved for a while. But eventually a point is reached when the only chemicals capable of killing the fungus are also deadly to man. Hundreds of farmers in South America have abandoned their farms due to the devastation caused by this disease.
Karin Heschl's Story - Radioactivity
Graz
Austria
radioactivity
"When the Chernobyl nuclear accident happened in 1986, I was a Homa Therapy volunteer and had a farm near Graz in Austria. Immediately after the accident the Austrian Government issued instructions that every farmer had to carry milk and fodder for testing for radioactivity."

Dora Betancour's Story
Armenia, Quindio
Colombia, South America
"10 years ago I had a farm which was infested with coffee berry borer, an insect that attacks the coffee seed. I bought the farm hoping to live there and grow food in a self-sustaining manner, but I had very little hope."
Gopal Mehta's Story
Shimla, Himachal Pradesh
India
apples
peaches
Gopal Mehta, a leading apple and stone-fruit orchardist, started experimenting with the environment-friendly mode of farming in the late 1990s in view of the rising cost of inputs and poor returns. Mehta, who is also the chairman of the Himachal Organic Farmers’ Association, maintains that the continuous use of chemical fertilisers and chemical sprays is doing more harm than good to the orchards of Himachal Pradesh.
Engineer Gilberto Navarro's Story
Guayaquil, Ecuador
South America
tomatoes
Engineer Gilberto Navarro is Director of the Center of Organic Agriculture of the Government of the Province of Guayas, Ecuador.
"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 have been practising Agnihotra for many years."
Effect of Agnihotra on the Yield and Quality of Horticulture Crops
The following experiments with Agnihotra and Homa Therapy were conducted at Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Ooty, Tamil Nadu, India.
Preamble
Biochemical Efficacy of Homa Organic Farming in Soybean Crop
The following experiments with Agnihotra and Homa Therapy were conducted at University of Agricultural Sciences, Dharwad, Karnataka, India.
Published in Karnataka J. Agric. Sci., 23 (5) : 2010 pp. 841-2
A field experiment laid out in completely randomly block design with eight treatments exposed to Homa atmosphere replicated thrice was conducted during Kharif (monsoon) season 2009 to study the Biochemical efficacy of Homa Organic Farming in soybean crop (JS 335).
Impact of Integrated Organic Crop Management on Productivity of Medicinal Plant Based System
The following experiments with Agnihotra and Homa Therapy were conducted at CSK HP Agricultural University, Palampur, HP, India.
PreambleOrganic Treatments in Aloe vera
Aloe vera is a plant that looks like a cactus, but is actually a member of the lily family. The particular kind of Aloe vera is used for natural remedies and its leaves contain a gel that is rich in therapeutic properties. Aloe appears to inhibit infection and promote healing of minor burns and wounds, and possibly of skin affected by diseases such as psoriasis. Dried aloe latex is used, with caution, as a drastic cathartic. Aloe vera is a perennial crop. The first cut is taken one year after planting. The plant is harvested for its fresh leaves.
Organic Treatments in Lemongrass
Lemongrass, is a perennial herb widely cultivated in the tropics and subtropics. The reported adaptation zone for lemongrass is 18 to 29oC with an annual precipitation of 0.7 to 4.1 meters with a soil pH of 5.0 to 5.8. Since the plants rarely flower or set seed, propagation is by root or plant division. The plants are harvested mechanically or manually about four times each year with the productive life span between four and eight years. In the present experiment, the crop was harvested after 90 days of planting.
