Disease Brings Blessings,discovery of the origin of aloes wood production

FIFTEEN years ago, the University of Mataram in recorded history of cultivation. Starting from a journal that says pig in fact a disease of aloes. “His name must have caused disease micro-organisms such as fungi or bacteria,” said Hadi Surya, principal researcher at the Eaglewood Center, professor of the University of Mataram. However, fungi like what? Well, that’s the question in the minds of these researchers. They negotiate in a place. Each answer to how to engineer the gaharu trees are able to produce pig, which produces extraordinary fragrance, quickly. The meeting that is the starting point of greatness by researchers at the University of Mataram, West Nusa Tenggara, the cultivation of aloes. Talk about this fragrant wood, it was not complete without a look there. That’s where the inoculation method had led to more quickly composed of aloes. Without neglecting other studies, this finding is a phenomenon of this campus. With this technology, the emergence of pig, usually 20 years, can come half faster. That means economic value arrived first, one kilogram can be appreciated Rp 5 million. Understandably, aloes are expensive and become an important commodity in the cosmetics and pharmaceutical industries. But it is not easy. Surya Hadi and two colleagues, the Tri Mulyaningsih and Doctor Parman (deceased), the cost and devote his mind. Even Tri competition fees must give up his research used for the purposes of this research. That was not enough. For just a sample, aloes not cheap. “Thank God we assisted gaharu traders associations to buy chemicals and pig,” said Surya. Perseverance is what guides them. Until finally, after the isolation of micro-organisms in the pig, they found a kind of micro-organisms called Fusarium. This microbe is then transformed into a solid isolates injected into the tree aloes. It was not immediately fruitful results. In early research, it isolates them injections. The result? Many trees are dead. Apparently there is some mistake. “Isolates inokulumnya or micro-organism was too aggressive, so the main vessels attacked tree metabolism,” said Taufik Fauzi, head of Eaglewood Unram Center. But they did not give up. Learning from experience, from microbes that can be formed pig aloes. This research continues to grow, until finally they found at least five species of Fusarium in the solid inoculum. But Surya reluctant to say what species they find inoculum. “That makes the area we will be patented.” As a result, fragrant wood is so tempting. Not only smell in Mataram and other regions, but also crossed over to Malaysia. Apparently, these neighboring countries also have the technology to produce gaharu wood is fragrant . But they refused to do an integrated partnership with a number of professors from Malaysia last year. The campus is only willing to teach them how to do injections or aloe plant inoculation. While the technology of micro-organisms isolated Fusarium still a secret. “Technology is not our creation patented pig, so before we patented to be used en masse,” said Surya. Naturally, if they keep the formula. It is currently inoculation technique has spread throughout the world. However, special materials microbial isolates, only a few people who can produce it. Now the researchers on campus are not yet satisfied. They hoped to find new technologies that could accelerate the growing pig. For that, since two years ago, Unram cooperation with Germany through IGBiotek. “Eaglewood is our future,” said Professor Ir Ma’shum Mansur, Rector Unram. author : bagus p reference : MBM Tempo
