BarIno™ Certified Applicator Standards – Ensuring Safe, Effective, and Sustainable Agarwood Resin Induction
A BarIno™ Certified Applicator (BCA) is trained to apply BarIno™ inoculants and products following strict protocols that ensure tree health, worker safety, environmental responsibility, and optimal resin yield. Certification guarantees competency, reliability, and professionalism in agarwood induction.
1. Core Competencies of a Certified Applicator
| Competency | Description |
|---|---|
| Phase-Based Induction Knowledge | Understands AgarStart™, FusaPrime™, FusaTrinity™ / Harmonia™, ResinRush™ / FusaBlaze™ and their sequential application. |
| Time-Gap Management | Applies induction products according to recommended intervals to prevent over-infection and necrosis. |
| DBH-Based Spacing & Depth | Determines inoculation points based on tree DBH and health for optimal resin formation. |
| Resin Monitoring & Maturity Assessment | Identifies early and mature resin via color, viscosity, aroma, and optional core sampling. |
| Worker Safety & PPE Compliance | Uses gloves, goggles, masks, and protective clothing correctly; ensures safe work practices. |
| Environmental Safeguards | Limits chemical/fungal impact on soil, water, and surrounding trees; practices sustainable inoculation. |
| Harvest Ethics Awareness | Selectively harvests resin while maintaining tree longevity and future yield potential. |
| Documentation & Traceability | Maintains detailed logs for tree ID, induction phase, resin monitoring, and harvest data. |
2. Operational Standards
- Pre-Induction Checks: Tree health, sap flow, soil moisture, and DBH verified
- Product Handling: Correct preparation, dosage, and application of BarIno™ products
- Application Accuracy: Proper depth, spacing, and inoculation techniques
- Monitoring & Follow-Up: Regular checks on resin development, early indicators, and tree recovery
- Incident Reporting: Document and report any adverse events or tree stress promptly
