Trade Name: BarIno™ OxyShock™
Tagline: “Oxygenate. Oxidize. Oud-ify.”
Inoculant Characteristics
| Parameter | Details |
|---|---|
| Resin Yield | Moderate to High – Capable of initiating rapid localized resin formation through oxidative stress. |
| Fragrance Intensity | Moderate to Strong – Clean, spicy-woody scent with sharp upper notes and oxidized depth. |
| Chemical Composition | – Chromones: Moderate – Sesquiterpenes: Moderate to high – Phenolics: Elevated due to ROS-triggered biosynthesis |
| Resin Color | Brown to dark brown – Rapid discoloration of tissues due to reactive oxygen species (ROS) formation |
| Mechanism of Action | Functions as a potent oxidative stress agent → breaks down into H₂O and free radicals → disrupts cellular integrity → triggers defensive resin biosynthesis |
| Best Use Scenario | For fast-track induction or as a booster component in fungal or multi-agent systems |
| Application Method | 3–6% aqueous solution injected directly into boreholes; may be combined with brown sugar or MgCl₂ to moderate reaction |
| Tissue Residue Risk | Low – H₂O₂ breaks down into water and oxygen, leaving no chemical residue Overuse may damage surrounding tissues |
| Compatibility | Good with sugars, salts (e.g., MgCl₂), and certain microbes Incompatible with catalase-producing fungi unless applied separately |
| Resin Development Speed | Fast – Visible discoloration and initial resin signs appear in 1–2 weeks; mature resin in 3–4 months |
| Form | Clear, colorless liquid; available in 3%, 6%, and 12% concentrations; diluted before use |
| Precautions | Corrosive at high concentrations; must use personal protective equipment (PPE) Avoid contact with eyes and mucosa; store in a cool, dark container to prevent decomposition |
Use Case Summary
Hydrogen Peroxide is a fast-acting oxidative inoculant ideal for growers seeking accelerated resin response. While effective on its own, its best application is as part of a dual-system protocol with fungi or organic stressors like salicylic acid. Its biodegradability and lack of tissue residue make it a clean but powerful induction tool.
