4.3 Timing and order of application

Timing and Order of Application(BarIno™ System: Abiotic + Biotic + Dual Products)

1. General Principles

  1. Prime first, stimulate next
    • Start with abiotic products to “wake up” the tree’s defense system.
  2. Follow with biotic or dual inoculants
    • Fungi need pre-conditioned tissues for better colonization.
  3. Season matters
    • Apply during active growth periods (spring/early summer).
    • Avoid dormant, drought-stressed, or waterlogged periods.

2. Step-by-Step Application Timeline

StepProductPurposeTiming / Interval
1AgarStart™Initiates resin response, primes tree metabolismApply first; week 0
2FerroBoost™Enhances metabolic activity, improves resin density & quality1–2 weeks after AgarStart™
3ResinRush™Accelerates resin accumulationCan be applied simultaneously with FerroBoost™ or 1 week later
4FusaTrinity™ / MycoChem™Biotic / dual inoculant; sustains resin formation, adds aroma complexity1–2 weeks after chemical priming; follow label guidance for dual injection
5Monitoring & Follow-upCheck resin formation monthlyOptional repeat of dual inoculant 3–6 months later for larger trees

3. Key Timing Tips

  • Tree readiness: Ensure tree is healthy and actively growing
  • Spacing interval: Wait 1–2 weeks between chemical and biotic inoculation for optimal synergy
  • Avoid overlap with extreme weather: Heavy rain or drought reduces efficacy
  • Follow-up applications: Only after evaluating resin formation; prevents over-stressing the tree

4. Order Rationale

  1. Chemical first (AgarStart™, FerroBoost™, ResinRush™)
    • Quickly activates defense pathways
    • Softens tissue for easier fungal colonization
  2. Fungal / dual inoculant next (FusaTrinity™, MycoChem™)
    • Colonizes pre-stressed tissue
    • Sustains long-term resin formation
  3. Monitoring & repeat
    • Ensures resin accumulation is uniform and high-quality
    • Optional repeat chemical/dual boost maximizes density

5. Farmer-Friendly Summary

“Wake the tree first with chemicals, then let fungi take over to keep the resin forming. Follow the timeline for healthier trees, faster resin, and better quality.”
