Inoculation

Inoculation in the context of Agarwood cultivation refers to the process of introducing a specialized microbiological agent into Gaharu trees to stimulate the formation of Agarwood resin. This controlled process mimics natural stress conditions, triggering the tree to produce the valuable resin used in perfumes, traditional medicines, and other products.

Over many years of dedicated research and innovation, Prima Plants Research and Development has pioneered a breakthrough in Agarwood cultivation through the efforts of Professor Baharuddin Salleh. His extensive scientific studies have led to the successful identification, isolation, and formulation of a microbiological culture that serves as a highly effective inoculum for promoting Agarwood formation in Gaharu trees.

Unlike traditional inoculums, this solution is backed by rigorous scientific validation and incorporates an innovative 3-phase inoculation process. This approach ensures not only a higher success rate but also superior quality and volume output from mature Gaharu trees. The process is carefully designed to maximize results, with the inoculum stimulating Agarwood formation in a controlled manner, yielding consistent and reliable outcomes.

Due to the nature of the active microbiological agents, the inoculum must be formulated within the country of its intended use and applied within a relatively short shelf life to preserve its efficacy. The full inoculation process takes 12 months, with distinct ‘dwell’ periods between each phase to allow the Agarwood to develop properly within the trees.

Prima Plants Research and Development has the capacity to provide inoculum and expertise for approximately 500 trees per month, with the ability to scale up operations as per client needs. While the inoculum is proven to be highly effective, we recommend conducting a statistically representative trial beforehand to account for any potential adjustments required due to local tree species or environmental conditions, ensuring the most successful results before a full-scale inoculation process begins.

In conclusion, inoculation is a vital and scientifically advanced technique for Agarwood production, enabling a controlled, efficient, and sustainable method to stimulate resin formation in Gaharu trees. By employing proven inoculation processes, like the one developed by Prima Plants Research and Development, growers can significantly enhance the quality and yield of Agarwood, ensuring a reliable and profitable harvest while contributing to the conservation of natural resources.
