Agarwood Farm
About Agarwood
Agarwood is one of the most valuable aromatic woods in the world. It forms a natural fragrant resin inside Aquilaria trees and is widely used in perfumes, incense, and traditional medicine. Resin formation begins after artificial inoculation, and harvesting can start from year 6 onwards, making it a lucrative long-term asset.

Sundarban Agarwood Farms Requirements
Scientific planning and specific conditions are required for optimal growth and resin production.
1. Climate Requirements
Temperature: Ideal range is 20°C to 35°C. Sensitive to frost; below 5°C damages young plants.
Rainfall: Annual rainfall 1,500 mm to 3,500 mm.
Altitude: Best suited for 100 meters to 1,200 meters above sea level.
Humidity: High humidity (70–90%) promotes resin formation.
2. Soil Requirements
Type: Well-drained loamy or sandy-loam soils.
pH Level: Optimum between 5.5 to 6.5.
Soil Depth: Minimum depth 1–1.5 meters.
Fertility: High organic matter essential.
3. Land Preparation
Clearing: Remove weeds, shrubs, rocks and debris.
Ploughing: Deep ploughing improves aeration.
Pit Preparation: 60cm × 60cm × 60cm pits with compost.
4. Plantation & Spacing
Spacing: 3m × 3m or 4m × 4m.
Season: Beginning of monsoon.
Selection: Healthy disease-free seedlings.
5. Water Management
Young Trees: Water twice weekly during dry months.
Mature Trees: Irrigate during dry periods.
Drip Irrigation: Recommended for commercial farming.
6. Nutrient Management
Fertilization: Apply NPK fertilizers in split doses.
Organic Manures: Neem cake, vermicompost, cow dung.
Foliar Sprays: Zinc and boron micronutrients.
7. Pruning & Canopy
Initial Training: Develop a single strong trunk.
Annual Pruning: Remove weak and diseased branches.
8. Pest & Disease
Pests: Leaf borers, stem borers, aphids.
Diseases: Root rot and fungal infections.
Control: Neem oil and biofungicides.
9. Harvesting & Post Harvest
First Harvest: 6–8 years after planting.
Yield: ~1kg agarwood per mature tree.
Drying: Air dried under shade.
Storage: Store airtight in cool dry place.
