Another method of inducing the tree.

This is the combination method of inducing the tree of about this size & smaller sizes.
1. Aeration holes the size of about 7.5 mm. was drill to the centre of the trunk at regular 30 cm. interval circulating the trunk & sprayed in them with the liquid artificial inducer. This is to produce the heart wood after for about 2 years & the tree will be cut dowm for agarwood heartwood.
2. Artificialy wounded & peeled off the section of the bark to expose the xylem & sprayed with artificial inducer. Oleoraisin will form in the outer xylem at the artificially wounded section. The outer xylem that stained with oleoraisin will be chipped off after for about 3 months & send for distillation . The process will be repeated several times as required.

For those who are intrested in this field, proper specialised training & knowledge is required to handle this artificial inducing technique. Trial & error techniques/process are not recommended. There are many artificial inducers & techniques in the market & not all are recorded commercially proven & also there are many immitation & fake products, some may contain heavy metals, herbicide poisons ect. The misconception is to make the agarwood tree 'sick' & produce oleoraisin & heart wood. The plant must be keep healthy to produce more oleraisin at the localised 'infected' area. The are only few that purely organic based artificial agarwood oleoraisin inducer. Please use only the artificial inducer that are accredited or certified & also binded by CITES regulations.
