Technical Data Sheet (TDS)
Product Name: BarIno™ FusaPrime™
Product Type: Biotic Agarwood Inoculant
Active Agent: Fusarium oxysporum (non-lethal agarwood-inducing strain)
Form: Liquid spore suspension / Spore stick (solid carrier optional)
Target Species: Aquilaria malaccensis
1. Product Description
BarIno™ FusaPrime™ is a biological inoculant containing a proprietary strain of Fusarium oxysporum, specially selected to induce oleoresin (agarwood) formation in Aquilaria trees. The product exploits controlled vascular stress via fungal colonization to trigger natural defense responses and resin accumulation.
