Mechanism of FusaPrime™ – Fusarium-Based Biotic Inoculant for Agarwood Resin Induction
Primary Function
FusaPrime™ induces agarwood resin formation by introducing a controlled Fusarium stimulus that mimics natural fungal infection without killing the tree.
It activates the tree’s long-term biological defense response, which leads to deep, complex resin formation.
How FusaPrime™ Works (Step-by-Step)
1. Controlled Fungal Colonization
- Selected Fusarium strains enter through inoculation wounds
- Colonization is:
- Localized
- Non-lethal
- Slow-spreading
This mimics how agarwood forms naturally in the wild.
2. Host Recognition of Living Pathogen
The agarwood tree detects:
- Fungal cell walls (chitin, glucans)
- Enzymatic activity
- Foreign metabolites
This triggers pathogen-associated molecular pattern (PAMP) recognition.
3. Activation of Defense Signaling Pathways
FusaPrime™ stimulates:
- Jasmonic acid (JA) pathway
- Salicylic acid (SA) pathway
- Ethylene signaling
These pathways control resin biosynthesis.
4. Resin Deposition as a Defense Barrier
The tree responds by:
- Producing antimicrobial resin
- Sealing fungal invasion zones
- Reinforcing xylem tissues
This results in:
- Resin accumulation around fungal fronts
- Progressive darkening of wood
5. Continuous Stimulation Over Time
Unlike chemicals that fade:
- Living fungi persist
- Defense response remains active
- Resin continues to accumulate
This creates depth and complexity.
6. Enhancement of Aroma Complexity
FusaPrime™ encourages production of:
- Sesquiterpenes (warm, woody notes)
- Chromones (sweet, resinous body)
These compounds define high-grade agarwood and oud oil.
Observed Field Effects
- Gradual but deep resin veins
- Wider resin spread
- Richer aroma profile
- Higher oil quality during distillation
What FusaPrime™ Is NOT
- ❌ Not a fast chemical trigger
- ❌ Not a fertilizer
- ❌ Not a destructive pathogen
It is a controlled biological signal, not a disease.
Best Integration in BarIno System
- After AgarStart™ (pre-conditioning)
- With FerroBoost™ (quality support)
- Or inside FusaTrinity™ (dual system)
Role in BarIno System
FusaPrime™ = “Biological Engine”
It sustains resin formation long after initial induction.
One-Line Farmer Explanation
FusaPrime™ uses safe Fusarium fungi to slowly challenge the tree, forcing it to produce deep, high-quality resin.
