Field Application Guide
Rapid Ionic Stress-Induced Agarwood Resin Inducer
1. Tree Requirements
| Parameter | Recommended |
|---|---|
| Species | Aquilaria malaccensis |
| Tree Age | ≥ 5 years |
| Diameter at Breast Height (DBH) | ≥ 15 cm |
| Health Condition | Free of major pests and diseases, vigorous growth |
2. Recommended Drilling Pattern (DBH Method)
- Hole Specifications
- Depth: 5–8 cm
- Diameter: 1–2 cm
- Angle: 45° downward to prevent leakage
- Spacing
- Vertical: 10–15 cm between holes
- Horizontal: Spiral or staggered rows around trunk
- Number of holes: Adjust according to tree size and age
3. Dosage and Solution Preparation
- A. Solution Preparation
- Dilute BarIno™ ResinRush™ in distilled or clean water to recommended concentration:
- Ferric Chloride (FeCl₃): 1–5% w/v
- Sodium Chloride (NaCl): 3–10% w/v
- Mix until fully dissolved
- Dilute BarIno™ ResinRush™ in distilled or clean water to recommended concentration:
- B. Dosage per Hole
- 2–5 mL per drilled hole
- Adjust dosage based on tree size:
- Small trees: 2 mL
- Medium trees: 3–4 mL
- Large trees: 5 mL
- C. Sealing
- Optional: Seal holes with wax or clay to reduce evaporation and prevent contamination
4. Application Procedure
- Select healthy trees meeting size and age requirements.
- Mark drilling locations in a spiral or staggered pattern.
- Drill holes at 45° downward angle, depth 5–8 cm.
- Inject BarIno™ ResinRush™ solution using a syringe or drip system.
- Seal holes (optional) to protect from rain and pests.
- Record treated trees for monitoring and follow-up.
5. Expected Timeline for Resin Formation
| Time After Application | Field Observation |
|---|---|
| 2–4 weeks | Localized tissue browning, initial stress response |
| 1–3 months | Early resin accumulation |
| 3–6 months | Noticeable resin formation around treated holes |
| 6–12 months | Harvestable resin (low–mid grade) |
6. Safety and Handling
- Wear gloves, goggles, and protective clothing
- Avoid direct skin contact with ferric chloride
- Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area
- Rinse equipment thoroughly after use
7. Recommendations for Best Results
- Avoid oversaturation: Excessive FeCl₃ or NaCl can damage tree tissues
- Use as part of sequential induction: Combine with BarIno™ FusaPrime™ or FusaTrinity™ for premium resin
- Monitor environmental conditions: Avoid application during heavy rain
- Record-keeping: Track treated trees and resin development for quality control
