Product TypeDual Agarwood Induction System (biotic + abiotic)Microbial fungal-based biotic inoculantAbiotic + enzymatic stress-based inoculant
Main ContentsFusarium + Enzyme blend + BarIno™ AgarStart™ (FeCl₃ mix)Proprietary endophytic fungi consortiumProtein extract + salt solution + carbohydrate-rich base
FormulationWater-based injectable solutionLiquid inoculant + fermented bamboo stick + drip systemLiquid solution with additives (injection or infusion)
Volume per Unit1 Liter2 Liters1 Liter
Induction MethodDrill + Inject (multisite), or infusion with resin stimBamboo fermentation stick or drip bagSingle drill + slow drip or injection
Action TypeBiotic (microbial) + Abiotic (enzyme/salt stress)Biotic (fungal only)Abiotic + mild protein elicitor
Estimated Resin Onset3–5 months (depends on age & dose)6–9 months4–6 months
Primary GoalAccelerated and deeper resin formationTraditional fungal mimicry for resin inductionFast, uniform, cost-effective resin formation
Resin Grade PotentialHigh-quality chip and oil resinSuitable for chip resin; oil depends on species/ageHigh chip resin; variable oil yield
Best Application Age5–7 years and up5+ years5–10 years (preferred for better yield)
Shelf Life3–6 months (refrigerated), 1 month ambient6–12 months (ambient)3–6 months
Price PointMid-range (₱2,000–₱3,500 est.)Low-cost (₱1,800–₱2,500 est.)High (₱4,000–₱5,500 est.)
Packaging1 L bottle, tamper-proof, labeled by batch2 L + bamboo sticks + drip bags1 L with certification label
Unique AdvantageSynergistic dual action: Fusarium + FeCl₃-based catalystNatural, slow but traditional approachStrong abiotic resin stressor; easy to apply
Regulatory StatusR&D Phase, Local Field Trials (Philippines)Commercial (Malaysia)Commercialized (Thailand, Vietnam, India)
Recommended MonitoringResin formation visible by 3–6 months post-injectionRequires longer-term monitoring (6–12 months)Consistent tracking every 2–3 months recommended

Highlights & Takeaways:

  • BarIno™ MycoChem™: Offers a modern hybrid solution combining microbial infection (Fusarium) with catalytic agents (like FeCl₃ in AgarStart™) to speed up and deepen resin development. Ideal for plantations aiming for fast ROI and potential oil-grade resin.
  • OUDIno™: More conservative fungal approach, great for low-cost field induction. Suitable for entry-level growers or those focusing on chip-grade output.
  • Prove-N1™: Popular in Thailand for its quick onset via abiotic stress and enzyme/protein-based formula. May not produce as deep or high-quality oil as biotic methods but known for its speed.
