Tracking Every Tree, Every Treatment, Every Result
1. Purpose of Inoculation Records
- Ensure accurate traceability from tree to final agarwood product
- Support resin quality verification
- Maintain compliance for legal, buyer, and certification requirements
- Enable data integration with AgriTrace, QR codes, and blockchain
2. Key Data Points to Capture
| Data Point | Description | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Tree ID (UTID) | Unique Tree Identifier for each tree | Links inoculation to plantation records |
| Date of Inoculation | Exact date inoculation was performed | Supports resin development tracking |
| Inoculation Type | Biotic (FusaPrime™), Abiotic (AgarStart™, FerroBoost™, ResinRush™), Dual (FusaTrinity™, MycoChem™) | Ensures buyer verification of method |
| Inoculant Batch / Source | Batch number of inoculant applied | Traceable to lab or supplier |
| Method / Technique | Drill hole, wounding, infusion, or other protocol | Optional: notes for field adjustments |
| Operator / Technician | Name of person performing inoculation | Accountability and training record |
| Tree Condition Pre-Inoculation | Health, girth, height, canopy assessment | Baseline for resin evaluation |
| Post-Inoculation Monitoring | Date & observations (resin formation, tree health, pests) | Optional photos or notes |
| QR / Digital Link | QR code or ledger reference for tree/batch | Integrates with BarIno System & AgriTrace |
3. Recommended Record-Keeping Frequency
| Activity | Frequency |
|---|---|
| Pre-inoculation assessment | At time of inoculation |
| Inoculation log entry | Immediately after procedure |
| Post-inoculation monitoring | Weekly or biweekly, depending on tree and inoculant type |
| Data consolidation | Weekly summary for database or digital ledger |
4. Integration with BarIno System
- Tree-level logging: Each UTID links directly to inoculation record
- Inoculant tracking: Batch numbers recorded in system for traceability
- QR code integration: Each tree can display inoculation history
- Monitoring & Alerts: System can notify operator of follow-up schedules
- Batch verification: Multiple inoculated trees can be aggregated into a batch record for harvest or export
Example Data Flow:
Seedling / UTID → Inoculation Type → Inoculant Batch → Operator → Monitoring → QR / Blockchain
5. Farmer-Friendly Tips
- Use pre-printed inoculation log sheets or mobile form linked to QR/UTID
- Take photos before and after inoculation for visual verification
- Record any deviations from protocol (environmental stress, tree damage)
- Ensure each inoculation event is signed/verified by operator
- For cooperatives: consolidate weekly into AgriTrace or blockchain
6. Benefits of Proper Inoculation Records
- Enhances resin quality traceability → higher market premiums
- Supports CITES and export compliance
- Protects against fraud or substitution
- Provides auditable logs for buyers and regulators
- Tracks operator performance and training needs
Key Message
“Every inoculation counts. Record it accurately, link it to the tree ID, and track it through the BarIno System. Verified inoculations mean premium agarwood and trust from buyers.”
