Inoculant Characteristics
| Parameter | Details |
|---|---|
| Resin Yield | Moderate to High – Stimulates systemic defense pathways; effective in controlled environments and with fungal synergy. |
| Fragrance Intensity | Strong – Deep, floral-woody aroma with warm undertones; enhanced when co-inoculated with microbes or oxidants. |
| Chemical Composition | – Chromones: Moderate to high (especially when paired with fungi) – Sesquiterpenes: Moderate – Phenolics: High due to SA’s role in activating phenylpropanoid pathway |
| Resin Color | Golden brown to reddish-brown – Uniform and dense in actively metabolizing wood |
| Mechanism of Action | Mimics natural plant defense hormones; activates Systemic Acquired Resistance (SAR) → triggers resin biosynthesis genes, especially in the phenolic and terpenoid pathways |
| Best Use Scenario | Ideal for organic or precision induction, especially in nurseries or premium-grade tree plots |
| Application Method | 0.1% to 0.5% aqueous solution injected or applied via wick May be combined with MgCl₂, MnO₂, or Fusarium oxysporum |
| Tissue Residue Risk | Low – Readily metabolized by the tree; minor phytotoxicity if over-concentrated |
| Compatibility | High compatibility with microbes, sugars, and oxidants (e.g., MnO₂ or FeCl₃); enhances their effectiveness |
| Resin Development Speed | Moderate – Early biochemical signs appear within 1–2 weeks; full resinification by 4–6 months |
| Form | White crystalline powder; soluble in alcohol, slightly soluble in water (sodium salicylate used for water-based applications) |
| Precautions | Must be accurately diluted to avoid phytotoxicity; best applied with pH buffering and sterile technique |
Use Case Summary
Salicylic Acid is a signaling molecule rather than a direct toxin. It works by mimicking natural defense hormones, making it a biologically smart inoculant that primes the Aquilaria tree’s own immune and wound-response systems. Highly recommended for use with microbial or enzymatic blends in premium resin protocols.
