Timing and Order of Application – (BarIno™ System: Abiotic + Biotic + Dual Products)
1. General Principles
- Prime first, stimulate next
- Start with abiotic products to “wake up” the tree’s defense system.
- Follow with biotic or dual inoculants
- Fungi need pre-conditioned tissues for better colonization.
- Season matters
- Apply during active growth periods (spring/early summer).
- Avoid dormant, drought-stressed, or waterlogged periods.
2. Step-by-Step Application Timeline
| Step | Product | Purpose | Timing / Interval |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | AgarStart™ | Initiates resin response, primes tree metabolism | Apply first; week 0 |
| 2 | FerroBoost™ | Enhances metabolic activity, improves resin density & quality | 1–2 weeks after AgarStart™ |
| 3 | ResinRush™ | Accelerates resin accumulation | Can be applied simultaneously with FerroBoost™ or 1 week later |
| 4 | FusaTrinity™ / MycoChem™ | Biotic / dual inoculant; sustains resin formation, adds aroma complexity | 1–2 weeks after chemical priming; follow label guidance for dual injection |
| 5 | Monitoring & Follow-up | Check resin formation monthly | Optional 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
- Chemical first (AgarStart™, FerroBoost™, ResinRush™)
- Quickly activates defense pathways
- Softens tissue for easier fungal colonization
- Fungal / dual inoculant next (FusaTrinity™, MycoChem™)
- Colonizes pre-stressed tissue
- Sustains long-term resin formation
- 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.”
