Traditional methods for inducing agarwood, often referred to as “wounding” or “injury” techniques, have been used for centuries to stimulate the production of agarwood in Aquilaria trees.

​

Traditional wounding methods often led to uncontrolled and extensive damage to trees, which could kill the or significantly reduce their lifespan. This posed sustainability challenges as it took many years for trees to mature and produce agarwood. The quality and quantity of agarwood produced through traditional methods were highly variable. Not all wounds would result in the production of high-quality resin making the process inefficient and unpredictable.

 

Over the years modern inoculation procedures have revolutionized the industry allowing for more predictable and sustainable production significantly reducing the time required and increasing yield predictability.

By combining biological, chemical and physical methods, producers can meet market demands while preserving the Aquilaria tree populations.

 

Dasos-One Plantations Inc. is using a modern sophisticated and standardized inoculation procedure to ensure consistency and quality in agarwood production which is critical for market acceptance and pricing.
