With new technological developments like
tissue culture, controlled growth with latest agricultural
practices including proper irrigation, providing the plantation
with enough nutrients to ensure better growth,safety from
predators, we can ensure a better harvest of gums.
The chemical configuration of gums is also an important part
of the research initiative.
Properties of certain chemicals which improve the resin quality
in the tree are being assessed and understood so that their
induction in the different growth stages of the tree improves
the end result. We are still striving to find a natural way
of harvesting more gum per tree.
