Barino™ AgarStart™ Inoculant – Product Profile
Trade Name: Barino™ AgarStart™
Type: Chemical Agarwood Inoculant
Formulation: Liquid solution
Product Overview:
Barino™ AgarStart™ is a high-efficacy chemical agarwood induction formula combining Ferric Chloride (FeCl₃) and Salicylic Acid to stimulate artificial resin formation in Aquilaria species. It is formulated to safely trigger the tree’s defense response, accelerating agarwood development under controlled conditions.
Active Ingredients:
| Component | Function |
|---|---|
| Ferric Chloride (FeCl₃) | Oxidative agent; creates abiotic stress at the wound site |
| Salicylic Acid (SA) | Phytohormone; activates plant defense pathways (SAR) |
Mechanism of Action:
- FeCl₃ disrupts cellular integrity in the xylem, initiating oxidative stress.
- SA amplifies the tree’s natural immune response, triggering metabolic pathways that lead to resin biosynthesis.
- The combination induces a rapid and localized agarwood resin deposit without relying on fungal infection.
Key Features & Benefits:
- Accelerated Resin Induction – Results visible within 3–6 months
- Targeted Action – Suitable for borehole and syringe methods
- Tree-Compatible – Formulated to reduce long-term stress or dieback
- Controlled and Repeatable – Suitable for plantation-wide induction programs
- Stackable Protocol – Can be integrated with biological or physical methods (e.g., Fusarium spp., MnO₂)
