Development timeline for BarIno™ ResinRush™, a chemical agarwood inoculant formulated with Ferric Chloride (FeCl₃) and Sodium Chloride (NaCl). This timeline tracks the expected resin induction stages and wood response in Aquilaria trees following inoculation.
BarIno™ ResinRush™ Monthly Development Timeline
(FeCl₃ + NaCl Inoculant-Based Artificial Induction)
Optimized for trees ≥5 years old and ≥10 cm DBH
Mechanism Summary:
- FeCl₃ (Ferric Chloride): Triggers oxidative stress and cell wall degradation, mimicking abiotic injury.
- NaCl (Sodium Chloride): Adds ionic/osmotic stress, promoting metabolic shifts and wound response.
- Together, they stimulate secondary metabolite biosynthesis, leading to accelerated agarwood resin formation.
Post-Inoculation Monthly Timeline:
| Month | Tree Response & Resin Development |
|---|---|
| Week 0 – Inoculation Day | Inoculant injected into boreholes (10–20 mL per site). Initial absorption and chemical interaction with vascular tissues begin. Slight sap bleeding may occur. |
| Month 1 | Wound response is activated. Tree initiates cell necrosis around injection site. Salty/oxidative damage begins to disrupt cambial tissues. Slight discoloration (light brown) may appear in xylem. |
| Month 2 | Necrotic zone expands 2–4 cm around borehole. Tree defense pathways activate. Resin biosynthesis begins at low levels. Faint aroma may be detectable in infected wood. |
| Month 3 | Early stage oleoresin begins to form. Wood near boreholes darkens to brown. Initial hardening of surrounding cells. Cracks may form due to tissue dehydration. |
| Month 4–5 | Observable increase in resin deposition rate. Discoloration zones (brown to dark brown) can extend 5–10 cm from injection site. Aroma becomes more noticeable. |
| Month 6 | Mid-stage resin begins showing agarwood-like texture. Hard resin nodules may appear along resin veins. Resin smell intensifies. Reinoculation optional. |
| Month 7–9 | Further oxidative degradation and concentration of resin. Heartwood may show dark bands or streaks. Resin begins to mature with deeper scent profile. |
| Month 10–12 | Optimal for early harvest (if fast induction protocol). Full darkening around boreholes. Resin yield measurable. Aroma rich and woody. Internal resin map can reach 10–20 cm radial spread. |
Optional Reinoculation
- Month 6–8: Reinoculation (if necessary) for boosting resin density or for trees that show slow response.
- Use new boreholes 5–10 cm away from original sites.
Expected Outcomes (12 Months)
| Parameter | Result Range |
|---|---|
| Resin Color | Brown to deep brown-black |
| Aroma | Woody, sweet, slightly spicy |
| Resin Spread Radius | 10–20 cm around injection site |
| Harvest Readiness | From Month 10 (early-grade) |
| Optimal Grade Potential | Month 12–18 (if extended) |
Best Practices:
- Inoculate during dry season or start of dry-wet transition.
- Store product in airtight HDPE container, away from sunlight.
