Hitherto this is a wild plant and not much care is needed.@suja wrote:Hi, does anyone know whether the tree will grow in the dry zone specially puttalam area?

Can someone shed more lights on this "other methods" being used by other countries ?
I am interested and my Cross-hair is focused on Walla-patta now.![]()

@Kithsiri wrote:@ Chunwi
Thanks.
I have a fairly large plot in Matara and plans are already afoot to plant a few there.
Keep you guys posted the developments later.
Walla Patta, or Gyrinops Walla as it is scientifically known, is an indigenous herb that is used to produce some of the finest perfumes in the world. Since it is exclusive to the country, trade in this precious plant is prohibited

above article says its illegal in sri lanka so how are we going to do it if we are planing on doing such plantation in commercial level.
@Chinwi wrote:More on walla .... with small clarifications.
Sri Lankan tree is not Aquilaria but Gyrinops walla .
Both varieties belongs to the same family, Thymelaeaceae.
At the moment 1st grade agarwood is coming from Aquilaria which is not found in Sri lanka.
Research are being done to test the composition of Agar found in Sri lankan Gyrinops.
If the chemical combinations needed to make 1st grade Oud Oil perfume (Agar) is not matching in our product you may not get the higher prices and they will put it to grade III or below.
@ Kithsiri, girihel,
Gyrinops is not a protected plant in Sri Lanka. If you cut any tree in the protected jungle that is prohibited . At the moment people are cutting it from jungles. That is why they raid. The higher values given in the newspapers are not correct for the low grade Agar we found , they say.
You can cut Walla tree in your private land without any permission. Somehow, selling out of the country is prohibited.
By the way, we should try to get some Aquilaria casanna from Thailand, which is a proven variety for top grade Oud oil.
If we succeed producing agar using imported aquilaria, we can cut and sell it without any restrictions.
@Chinwi wrote:Now they offer Agarwood scheme also. (වල්ල පට්ට - Aquilaria tree )@Arena wrote:Sadaharitha ?
Instead of growing in the lands selected by them and asking us to invest heavily , now they use our own lands to plant the Aquiliria tree.
They supply small plants and you have to pay money. For 10 plants you have to pay 14,000/-
40 plants are priced at 56,000.
Then you have to take care of the plants for six years. Then they will come and inject the fungus to the trees to activate Agar production. After two years trees are fell to extract Agarwood resin.
At the moment guaranteed buy back price is 25,000 per tree.
Cost of fungi is 3,500/-. If you agree to sell the trees to them they will do it free of charge.
(Making Agarwood from Aquilaria trees by TWOD is said to be a low success in Thailand due to non published reasons)
---- ---
I think if you have lands in the wet zone , even few sq.meters, you can plant few trees without anybodies help.
Because you have to wait at least six years to get the fungi Injection. Until then it will grow like a jungle tree. You can find walla-Patta plants in Balangoda area.
There are many types of CA Kits ( Cultivated Agarwood Kit) produced by various labs. Prof. Robert A. Blanchette's product is the famous . In 6 years of time you may find much easy way to get them. Apart from CA Kits, farmers in Bangladesh, Thailand, Vietnam etc. use many other methods to induce resin production.
Yes I know. Much was found after I wrote about it last time.@Rookantha wrote:Hi, What you are saying here is very interesting. Have they (Sadaharitha) obtained a patent for CA Kit? From where else we can get the chemical? Please share with us if you know.
Agarwood is graded in 5 or 6 level range. Most of the cultivated Agar can produce only lower grades due to low % of the resin.Shehani Perera wrote:I think Sri Lanka needs to do many more R&D on the matter so we can stand up when others countries fail.

They say natural habitat produce higher grade agar due to unknown reasons.
I feel sri Lanka could be the best place for this tree, just like cinnamon. If we can make un-known to known that's it.
If we find a different method to stimulate the trees it will save 3,500 LKR from each Innoculate KIT.
If we produce higher grade , less problem due to other supplies.
