Induksi Pembentukan Gubal Gaharu dengan Perlakuan Frekuensi Injeksi Inokulum pada Tiga Bagian Batang

Abstract

Agarwood is one of non-timber forest products that have many properties and high value. Require a long time to form agarwood. This study describes how to accelerate the formation of agarwood and agarwood produce fairly good quality. The method used is by injecting trees A. malacceensis Lamk. with different injection frequencies on the trunk bottom, middle and top for fourteen weeks of observation. The results of this study demonstrate the sapwood has been formed three weeks after the initial injection. The percentage of infection reached 100% at a frequency of three times injection. The quality is getting better aloes sapwood with increasing frequency against stem injection. The quality is getting better sapwood with increasing frequency of injection to the rod. Central stem is the part that quality sapwood best gaharu.
