1. Primary Function
Harmonia™ combines multiple beneficial fungi to stimulate a stronger, longer-lasting defense response, producing more resin and enhancing its aroma complexity.
- Works as a biological enhancer for both resin quantity and quality
- Synergizes best when used with chemical priming (AgarStart™, FerroBoost™, ResinRush™)
2. Mechanism of Action
A. Multi-Strain Colonization
- Different fungi target different tissue layers (xylem, phloem, cambium)
- Creates wider and deeper resin zones
- Ensures more uniform resin distribution
B. Stronger Defense Activation
- Tree detects multiple PAMPs (cell wall molecules, enzymes, metabolites)
- Activates jasmonic acid, salicylic acid, and ethylene pathways more robustly than single-strain inoculants
C. Sustained Stimulation
- Living fungi continue to colonize and interact with the tree for months
- Maintains resin production longer
- Prevents early cessation of resin accumulation
D. Aroma Complexity Enhancement
- Different fungi produce secondary metabolites that interact with tree resin
- Enhances sesquiterpene and chromone diversity
- Results in richer, more aromatic agarwood
3. Observed Field Benefits
| Effect | Result |
|---|---|
| Resin Quantity | Heavier, denser wood, higher chip yield |
| Resin Quality | Darker wood, complex aroma, high-grade oil |
| Resin Distribution | Multiple veins and layers, uniform coverage |
| Tree Survival | Maintains vitality, minimal stress or mortality |
4. Best Use Practices
- Apply after chemical priming (1–2 weeks after AgarStart™ / FerroBoost™)
- Use on healthy, mature trees (≥5–7 years, good DBH)
- Monitor resin formation monthly
- Optional repeat or boost 3–6 months later for larger trees
5. Farmer-Friendly Summary
“Harmonia™ is like a skilled team of fungi that keeps the tree’s defense system active for longer, producing more resin, deeper veins, and richer fragrance than single fungi alone.”
