PILOT PROGRAM – TECHNICAL APPENDIX
Crown Organogenesis Protocols Inc.
OrgaGen™ | Lab-to-Land™ | RegenCore™ Systems
1. Pilot Program Objectives
The Pilot Program is designed to technically validate, de-risk, and benchmark OrgaGen™ technologies under real plantation conditions before full commercial scale-up.
Primary Objectives
- Verify field performance superiority vs conventional seedlings
- Validate Lab-to-Land™ SOP effectiveness
- Demonstrate multi-cycle harvest and regeneration viability
- Establish DENR-defensible biological performance data
- Generate investor-grade yield and cost benchmarks
2. Pilot Scope & Design
Pilot Type
Multi-species, multi-site biological validation pilot.
Pilot Duration
36 months (minimum)
- Year 1: Establishment & survival validation
- Year 2: Growth uniformity & resilience assessment
- Year 3: Yield proxies & regeneration readiness
3. Species Included (Pilot Core Set)
| Species | Rationale |
|---|---|
| Aquilaria malaccensis | High-value resin, induction-dependent |
| Santalum album | Long-rotation, root-host sensitivity |
| Cananga odorata | Fast feedback via flowering |
| Magnolia champaca | Stress-sensitive aromatic flower |
| Cinnamomum verum | Structural & leaf oil benchmark |
4. Pilot Scale Parameters
Planting Scale (Indicative)
| Species | No. of Plantlets | Area |
