Ferric Chloride (FeCl₃) – Inoculant Profile
| Parameter | Details |
|---|---|
| Resin Yield | High – one of the top-performing chemical inoculants in yield volume. |
| Fragrance Intensity | Strong – bold, woody, spicy, with deep oud notes. |
| Chemical Composition | – Chromones: High |
- Sesquiterpenes: High
- Phenolic Compounds: Strong presence due to oxidative pathways |
| Color of Resin | Dark brown to black – rich pigmentation from intense oxidative reactions. |
| Mechanism | Induces strong oxidative stress triggering enhanced resin biosynthesis. |
| Best Application Use | For premium resin production with bold aromatic profiles. |
| Tissue Residue Risk | ⚠️ Moderate – may leave iron residues in tissues; avoid leaf harvesting post-inoculation. |
| Compatibility | Can be enhanced with enzymes or microbes for synergistic effect. |
