The inoculation process at OUD UL HIND is a meticulous and scientifically driven method designed to stimulate the formation of high-quality agarwood resin. This process is essential for transforming ordinary agarwood trees into highly valuable sources of oud. Our inoculation process involves the careful introduction of a specific fungus (Fusarium oxysporum) into the tree, which triggers the production of resin as a defense mechanism. Here is a detailed look at our inoculation process:
The initial step involves preparing our proprietary inoculum mixture. This mixture is crafted from a blend of natural ingredients, each selected for its unique properties that contribute to the health of the tree and the effectiveness of the inoculation. The ingredients include Ayurvedic medicines, natural extracts, and organic substances.
Once the inoculum is ready, we select mature and healthy agarwood trees for inoculation. Strategic holes are drilled into the trees at specific locations. The number and placement of these holes are determined based on the tree's size, age, and overall health to ensure optimal distribution of the inoculum.
The prepared inoculum mixture is then injected into the drilled holes using specialized equipment. This ensures that the mixture penetrates deeply into the tree’s wood, reaching the areas where resin production is most likely to occur.
Post-injection, the fungus introduced into the tree is periodically fed with our specially formulated nutrient mixture. This feeding process helps the fungus thrive and promotes sustained resin production over a longer period.
After injection, the holes are sealed to prevent contamination and to ensure the inoculum remains inside the tree. This sealing process also helps in protecting the tree from external pests and diseases.
Continuous monitoring of the inoculated trees is crucial. Our experts regularly inspect the trees to assess the progress of resin formation, checking for changes in color, texture, and aroma, which indicate successful resin production.
Our inoculation method is a fusion of traditional knowledge and modern scientific techniques, ensuring the highest efficacy in agarwood resin production. The method involves the precise introduction of fungal spores into the tree, followed by the use of natural ingredients to support fungal growth and resin development. Here are the key components of our inoculation method:
We use Fusarium oxysporum, a specific type of fungus known for its ability to induce resin formation in agarwood trees. This fungus is introduced into the tree through carefully drilled holes, ensuring it reaches the heartwood where resin is formed.
This innovative approach involves creating a balanced environment within the tree that supports the fungus while triggering the tree’s natural defense mechanisms. The equilibrium method ensures that the fungus lives for many years inside the tree, continuously stimulating resin production.
To sustain the fungus and promote resin formation, we feed the fungus with a natural mixture of ingredients. This mixture acts as a nutrient-rich food source for the fungus, enhancing its activity and effectiveness.
The success of our inoculation process is largely due to the unique mixture of natural and Ayurvedic ingredients we use to nourish the fungus. This carefully balanced mixture includes:
An Ayurvedic medicine made from purified iron, Lauh Bhasma enhances the overall health of the tree and supports its defense mechanisms.
This oil, extracted from mature agarwood, acts as a catalyst, promoting the fungus’s ability to induce resin formation.
A natural sweetener, liquid jaggery provides essential nutrients that support fungal growth and activity.
These extracts, derived from organic sources, offer a comprehensive range of vitamins that enhance the overall health of the tree and the fungus.
Extracted from plant sources, this helps in identifying treated areas and ensures a uniform application of the inoculum.
This ingredient enhances microbial activity within the tree, creating a conducive environment for resin formation.
Known for its antiseptic properties, honey supports the health of the fungus and promotes resin production.
This natural extract has medicinal properties that bolster the tree’s defense mechanisms against the introduced fungus.
Acts as a solvent to mix all ingredients uniformly, ensuring they penetrate deeply into the tree.
This unique blend of ingredients not only supports the growth and activity of the fungus but also enhances the overall health of the tree, leading to the production of high-quality agarwood resin. Our natural and sustainable approach ensures that the inoculation process is both effective and environmentally friendly.
