Accelerating Production Technology Eaglewood with inoculation ( Gaharu )

Eaglewood is a commodity elite non-timber forest products is currently much in demand by consumers both in and outside the country. Utilization of aloes varies from raw material manufacture incense, perfumes, aromatherapy, soap, body lotion, to medicine as an anti asmatik, anti mikrobia, nerve stimulants work, and digestion. As a result of harvesting and trading patterns that still rely on nature, certain types of gaharu-producing trees began to rare and have included in Appendix II of CITES.

Anticipating the possibility of extinction of gaharu-producing tree species of rare and sustainable utilization. FORDA conservation efforts and the cultivation and production engineering to accelerate the induction of aloes with technology or inoculation.

A series of studies conducted FORDA current cultivation techniques has resulted in gaharu-producing trees well, ranging from Germination, nurseries, planting, to maintain. A number of aloes-forming fungi isolates exploration of the various regions in Indonesia have been identified based on morphological characteristics. Research carried out has also produced four isolates gaharu-forming fungi have been tested and capable of forming aloes infection quickly. Inoculation with fungal isolates has been showing signs of success in just a month. Trials have been conducted in South Kalimantan, West Kalimantan, West Java (Sukabumi and Darmaga), and Banten (Carita).

Technically, the outline of the production engineering stage begins with the isolation of aloe-forming fungi are taken from the tree aloes producing appropriate ecological types and distribution of cultivated trees grow. Isolates were then identified based on morphology, taxonomy, and then conducted a screening process to ensure that the fungus is to respond in accordance with the formation of gaharu-producing tree species of aloes to provide optimum results. The next stage is the multiplication of this aloe-forming fungi, and induction, and the last harvest. For now, the production of artificial gaharu harvested at 1 year of age are in class kemedangan selling price of U.S. $ 100 per kilogram.

In domestic markets, the quality of aloes are grouped into 6 quality classes, namely Super (Super King, Super, Super AB), Responsibilities, pulses (pulses A, B, and C), Teri (Teri A, B, C, Teri Leather A , B), Kemedangan (A, B, C) and Suloan. Classification of different quality of the Indonesian National Standard (SNI) which divides the quality of aloe into the Class 3 pig, Kemedangan, and Klas Abu. Differences of classification is often harmful because it does not search based aloes with clear criteria.

Research and Development Center for Forest and Nature Conservation, Forestry Research and Development Agency opened the possibility of joint development of business-class aloes to the general public, ranging from activity-producing cultivation of aloes, aloes production engineering, harvesting, to marketing. Offer of cooperation can be submitted to the office of Research and Development Center of Forestry, Jalan Gunung Batu No.. 5 Bogor, Telp (0251) 633234, 7520067, Fax. (0251) 638,111.
