When required, the final step is the introduction of biological substrates, mainly the fungus and bacteria that naturally occurs in the soil of the rainforest where Agarwood grows naturally. By artificially introducing these microbes, commercial plantations can bypass the rare, decades-long natural infection process, yielding harvestable Grade-A resin in as little as 18 to 24 months. Microbially-induced agarwood closely matches wild agarwood in chemical complexity, often accumulating equivalent or higher levels of the quality-marker compounds responsible for premium market value, particularly sesquiterpenes.
Our biological technology is only required in certain situations but can be used to boost the potent first 2 steps in the process.
