ABSTRACT
This study aimed to find the aganvood producing fungal inoculant formulation that infect Ketimunan tree {Gyrinops versteegii DOMKE) effectively and resulted in high quality of aganvood. Complete Block Design was applied in this study with formulation of Fusarium solani and Rhizopus sp inoculant in liquid and solid form were combined as treatments. Those variables were as follows: A) solid Fusarium solani inoculant, B) solid Rhizopus sp inoculant, C) mixture of solid Fusarium solani inoculant and solid Rhizopus sp inoculant, D) liquid Fusarium solani inoculant, E) liquid Rhizopus sp inoculant, F) mixture of liquid Fusarium solani inoculant and liquid Rhizopus sp inoculant, and G) mixture of solid and liquid of Fusarium solani and Rhizopus sp inoculants. Each treatment was repeated three times. Parameters measured were level of fragrance, aganvood color, and its resin content. The result showed that all formulations effected resin content significantly compared to control of aganvood significantly. Mixture of liquid Fusarium solani and liquid Rhizopus sp inoculant showed the best quality aganvood with quality characteristics: brownish black or aganvood with black and brownish-black color, very strong fragrance, and with 13.58% resin content.
Key words: agarwoodforming fungi, Gyrinops versteegii
