Isolasi Dan Potensi Jamur Fusarium Spp. Endofit Sebagai Induktor Pembentuk Gaharu Pada Pohon Aquilaria Sp.
Agarwood or gaharu, is a high-value forest product that can only be formed by trees from the genus Aquilaria and Gyrinops. The demand for agarwood continues to increase however natural formation process takes a long time, and only about 7–10% of trees are capable of producing agarwood. This has led to the exploitation of agarwood-producing trees, thereby threatening their population. One method developed to address this issue is bio-induction using Fusarium spp. which are known to effectively stimulate agarwood formation. This study was conducted to obtain local isolates of Fusarium spp. and induce agarwood formation in the branches of Aquilaria sp. to accelerate the process. Fusarium spp. isolates were isolated from symptomatic Aquilaria sp. stems and selected based on their growth rate. Potential isolates were then cultured in Potato Dextrose Broth medium and injected into drilled branches of Aquilaria sp. The color and extent of the discoloration zone were observed one and two months after induction. The results showed that all four induced isolates were capable of inducing discoloration zones. Isolates BA4M and BA5LK1 produced the largest discoloration zones, measuring 38.68 mm² and 30.84 mm², respectively, after two months of inoculation. The wood color around the induction points for these two isolates ranged from dark brown to black.
