Nagaland, with its rich biodiversity and suitable climate, holds immense potential for Agarwood cultivation—a high-value crop often referred to as “green gold.” Across Southeast Asia, Agarwood is prized for its fragrant resin, which is used in perfumes, traditional medicines, and spiritual rituals.
In Nagaland, agarwood (Aquilaria malaccensis) is found and cultivated in several districts, particularly in areas with suitable climatic and soil conditions. While Agarwood is not naturally abundant in wild forests anymore, it is increasingly being cultivated by farmers as a high-value plantation crop. Agarwood is most common in the eastern and foothill regions of Nagaland, especially Mon, Longleng, Mokokchung, and parts of Dimapur, Niuland, and Wokha. With growing awareness and economic interest, cultivation is spreading across other districts as well. With hundreds of thousands of Agarwood trees already planted in the state and increasing awareness among farmers, the time has come to take our Agarwood farming to the next level.
What is Prove-N1?
Prove-N1 is a fully bio-organic super inducer specifically developed to stimulate high-grade resin formation in Agarwood trees. This scientifically developed formula is a dual combination of natural ingredients and beneficial microbes that mimic natural stress conditions to trigger resin production.
Created by Megat Md Yusop of PM Gaharu after nearly nine years of in-depth research, Prove-N1 is based on the Correlation Equation for Oil and Resin Formation (CEROF). It is now one of the most trusted and in-demand inoculum products across South and Southeast Asia, including India, Malaysia, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Vietnam, Philippines, Myanmar, Laos, Bhutan, and Thailand.
What Makes Prove-N1 Different?
· Scientific Dual Application: Prove-N1 uses two precise methods—the Infusion Method and the Direct Induced Technique—for maximum effectiveness in resin induction.
· High-Quality Output: Farmers can expect to harvest AAA, AA, and A-grade Oud Chips, premium Oud Oil, and Hydrosol with anti-cancerous properties.
· Organic & Eco-Friendly: Unlike chemical-based products, Prove-N1 poses no harm to trees, soil, or the surrounding ecosystem.
· Training and Capacity Building: The makers of Prove-N1 also run a world-class Train The Trainers (TTT) program at their Centre of Excellence in Malaysia. This training—soon to be replicated in agarwood-growing regions including Nagaland—covers the full value chain from seedling to market.
Scientific Observations from Nagaland:
The Certificate of Analysis for Prove-N1 Inoculum shows that it is a combination of three beneficial bacteria and two fungi that are responsible for simulating natural infection in agarwood trees.
Field observations in Nagaland have shown that under natural conditions, only 5% of an agarwood tree typically undergoes resinous infection, with 95% remaining uninfected and commercially underutilized. The application of Prove-N1, however, successfully induces infection in up to 75% of the tree, leading to greater accumulation of resin in both inoculated and adjacent naturally infected areas.
Post-harvest separation reveals that trees treated with Prove-N1 yield significantly higher volumes of oil chips, thus increasing both productivity and market value.
It has also been observed that when Prove-N1 is applied to trees already naturally infected by stem borers, the healing process of the wounds is deliberately delayed. This delay causes extended stress on the tree, allowing the microbes in Prove-N1 to promote heartwood decay, which results in the entire xylem becoming infected within approximately two years. This sustained stress triggers the tree’s defense mechanism, causing increased accumulation of natural resin around the wounds. Compared to trees where Prove-N1 is not applied, the treated trees exhibit significantly more resin production due to this prolonged microbial activity and strategic infection spread.
Opportunities for Nagaland:
The growing interest in agarwood farming in Nagaland presents a unique opportunity for both rural income generation and entrepreneurship development. With structured training, proper plantation methods, and scientifically backed inoculation processes like Prove-N1, Nagaland’s farmers can:
· Diversify income sources
· Tap into global markets for agarwood oil and wood chips
· Create allied jobs in nursery development, distillation, and packaging
· Foster youth entrepreneurship through agri-based startups
