1. Vanilla Malaysia – What could we learn from our Pioneer?

When I look at the World Vanilla Production Map, I am wondering WHY Vanilla Malaysia was not on the map, even China is on the Top 5 ? https://worldmapper.org/maps/vanilla-production-2016/

I google further to understand more about Vanilla Malaysia….

As early as 2006, Vanilla Planifolia Andrews variety was introduced to Malaysia by Rentak Timur Sdn. Bhd, via their Contract farming “The Malaysian Vanilla Project”, with FELDA, Ministries and Universities. https://www.sundaytimes.lk/060924/Financial%20Times/12.1.html
Vanilla Malaysia seems started well working closely with Balittro – Balai Penelitian Tanaman Rempah dan Obat, Indonesia, but only bring in the Vanilla Planifolia Andrews variety (Not Planifolia Vania 1, which has been released during that period but banned for export).

The Vanilla Malaysia scene seems growing very big and fast:

2008, “Kementerian Pertanian dan Industri Asas Tani mahu memperkenalkan vanila sebagai tanaman komoditi baru kerana pasarannya yang luas pada peringkat antarabangsa. Menterinya, Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin, berkata tanaman itu mempunyai ciri pertanian yang digariskan dalam Rancangan Malaysia Kesembilan (RMK-9)”. “Katanya, kajian Institut Penyelidikan dan Kemajuan Pertanian Malaysia (Mardi) pada 1992 membuktikan pokok vanila boleh mengeluarkan buah berkualiti di negara ini. http://ceoherba.blogspot.com/2008/02/vanilla-di-perkenal-jadi-tanaman.html

What happened to Vanilla Malaysia development after that?
Anyone recognise any of the Ministries, Universities, name or peoples involved in the Articles, Links, pioneer research, study, growing, marketing? Or any of the Pioneer who are currently watching this post, could come forward to share more with us, so that we all could learn and grow together?

What happened to those big nursery?

Which Ministries in Malaysia is taking over the role as BALITRO in Malaysia, continue to research on MALAYSIA VARIETY? Or Any Universities still dedicated to research and support on Vanilla Malaysia?

Together we contribute Positively to the grow and success of VANILLA MALAYSIA!

《《 The Quest for High Yielding and Fusarium Resistance Vanilla Variety 》》

Researchers from CIRAD in Saint-Denis de la Réunion (Reunion Island, France. The birth place of Bourbon Vanilla, which also regarded as one of the Best Vanilla in the world) Patented "Handa" a new High Yielding and Fusarium Resistance Planifolia Clone, after years of efforts.
Source : https://www.natura-sciences.com/agriculture/cirad-handa-vanille-nouvelle-variete.html
Patent : https://patents.google.com/patent/US20170013762P1/en
[As we seen in Patent Description 9 & 10, it takes more than 10 years to develop a profound variety like this]
In vitro selection of High Yield vanilla plants with resistant to Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. vanillae is a very long and tedious process , just like how Indonesian developed their Planifolia VANIA.
How In Vitro Selection was done : https://www.researchgate.net/publication/331464504_In_vitro_selection_of_vanilla_plants_resistant_to_Fusarium_oxysporum_f_sp_vanillae

Known High Yielding and Fusarium Resistance Vanilla Variety in the world:
• Costa Rica : The Sarapiquí 1 (S1) and The Sarapiquí S2 .
• Madagascar : “Tsy taitry”,
• Reunion Island : Handa
• Indonesia : Vania 1 and Vania 2. [We are lucky to have these]

Shall anyone has the first 3 varieties, appreciate to receive your PM or exchange with my Vania 1 and Vania 2 . 🤝 With this we also hope to start MALAYSIA VANILLA with better variety together.

《探求高产抗镰刀菌香草兰品种》

来自Saint-Denis de la Réunion（法国留尼汪岛。波本香草的诞生地，也被认为是世界上最好的香草之一）的CIRAD的研究人员经过多年的努力，注册了“Handa”专利，一种新的高产抗镰刀菌平叶香草兰克隆，

体外选择高产又对尖孢镰刀菌有抗性的香草植物，是一个非常漫长而费劲的过程，就像印度尼西亚开发他们的 Planifolia VANIA 一样。
体外选择是如何进行的：https://www.researchgate.net/publication/331464504_In_vitro_selection_of_vanilla_plants_resistant_to_Fusarium_oxysporum_f_sp_vanillae

世界上已知的高产抗镰刀菌香草兰品种：
• 哥斯达黎加：The Sarapiquí 1 (S1) 和 The Sarapiquí S2。
• 马达加斯加：“Tsy taitry”，
• 留尼汪岛：Handa
• 印度尼西亚：Vania 1 和 Vania 2。[我们很幸运拥有这些]

谁有前3个品种，期望收到你的PM或与我的Vania 1和Vania 2交换 🤝 我们也希望藉此以更好的品种共同创建 MALAYSIA VANILLA

Question : Many PM me, Why do you focus on Planifolia VANIA from Indonesia. (Empat Klon Harapan : Four Promissing Vanila Clones)

Answer : Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. vanillae (Fov), lives in the ground that is difficult to eliminate, and the most devastating pathogen of Vanilla planifolia, causes stem and root rot. Vanilla genotypes that are resistant to Fov currently do not exist, so vanilla plants that are strong resistant or tolerant to this fungus are needed. In Mexico, it is estimated to kill 67.4% of vanilla plants within 4 years of planting (Hernandez-Hernandez 2004).

Hence, I started to search for Known Vanilla Variety that has strong tolerant to Fov via culture filtrate, with higher yield and Vanillin Content:
• In Costa Rica : The Sarapiquí 1 (S1) variety is both Fusarium resistant and drought
resistant. S2 is Fusarium tolerant (won’t succumb to Fusarium if managed correctly) and
its beans have high levels of vanillin (a natural antibiotic). >>> I can’t get this
• In Madagascar (World Biggest Producer). One strong Fov resistant variety called “Tsy
taitry”, which means “non susceptible” (Anonymous 1995; Grisoni et al. 1997). The hybrid
plants are very vigorous and produce very heavy fruits larger than 10 mm in thickness
and 20 to 30 cm in length, but were not commercially cultivated in Madagascar yet. >> I
cant get this…
• In Indonesia (World Second Biggest Producer).
VANIA variety ,once of the most organise, systematic clones that narrow down from 30+
High yield and strong Fov resistant variety with Hundreds years of vanilla cultivation, very
close to Malaysia climate. High Green Pod yield (Vania 1 : 1.74 -2.25Kg/Plant, Vanilin %
2.808%. Vania 2 : 1.35 - 2.09Kg/Plant, Vanilin % 2.983) >>> We are lucky to get it, so
we focus on this highly sought after VANIA Variety.

Keep Going Everyone！

Original Extract from Indonesia :
o Varietas Unggul Sampai tahun 2018 Balai Penelitian Tanaman Rempah dan Obat telah
melepas dua varietas unggul vanili yaitu Vania 1 dan Vania 2. Varietas unggul vanili yang
direkomendasikan saat ini adalah Vania 1 berdasarkan SK Menteri Pertanian nomor :
1370/Kpts/SR.120/10/2008, tanggal 8 Oktober 2008 dan Vania 2 berdasarkan SK Menteri
Pertanian nomor : 1371/Kpts/SR.120/10/2008, tanggal 8 Oktober 2008. Vania 1 (hasil 2,1
ton/ha dengan kadar vanilin 2,808%) (Lampiran 1) dan Vania 2 (hasil 1,8 ton/ha dengan
kadar vanilin 2,983%) (Lampiran 2).
o Masalah pervanilian di Indonesia adalah belum ada varietas unggul, produksi dan mutu
yang masih rendah dan adanya serangan penyakit busuk batang vanili (BBV). Varietas
yang ideal adalah varietas yang mempunyai daya adaptasi yang luas, disamping itu juga
memiliki potensi hasil yang maksimum pada kondisi yang paling menguntungkan serta
mempunyai stabilitas enotipe yang maksimum. Varietas yang mempunyai tingkat
stabilitas genotipe yang tinggi adalah varietas yang berdaya hasil hampir sama pada
lingkungan yang berbedabeda.Di Indonesia permasalahan vanili adalah produktivitas
yang rendah. Rata-rata produksi yang diperoleh petani di Lampung sekitar 0.20 - 0.25 kg
polong panili kering/pohon. Rendahnya produksi vanili yang dihasilkan kemungkinan
disebabkan antara lain oleh penggunaan varietas yang tidak cocok dan ketidaksesuaian
lingkungan tumbuh
o Saat ini telah terkumpul koleksi plasma nutfah tanaman vanili yaitu 30 nomor vanili
budidaya dan 21 nomor vanili liar (Asnawi dan Nuryani, 1995; Nuryani dan
Hadipoentyanti, 1996). Koleksi tersebut dapat dimanfaatkan oleh pemuliaan tanaman
untuk mendapatkan varietas unggul. Hasil pengamatan sampai tiga kali produksi di Natar
Lampung telah diperoleh 4 klon harapan vanili yaitu klon 1, klon 2, klon 3 dan klon 4
(Asnawi 1993; Ernawati, 1993).

问题 : 很多 PM 我，你为什么关注来自印度尼西亚的 Planifolia VANIA。（Empat Klon Harapan：四个希望香草克隆）

答案：尖孢镰刀菌 f． sp. vanillae (Fov)，生活在土壤中难以消灭，是 Vanilla planifolia 最具破坏性的病原体，会导致茎腐病和根腐病。目前尚不存在对 Fov 具有抗性的香草基因型，因此需要有对该真菌具有强抗性或耐受性的香草植物。在墨西哥，估计在种植后 4 年内杀死 67.4% 的香草植物（Hernandez-Hernandez 2004）。

因此，我打算寻找对 Fov 具有强耐受性、产量和香兰素含量更高的已知香草品种：
• 在哥斯达黎加：Sarapiquí 1 (S1) 品种具有抗镰刀菌和抗旱性。 S2 具有镰刀菌耐受性（如
果管理得当，不会屈服于镰刀菌）并且它的豆子含有高浓度的香草醛（一种天然抗生
素）。 >>> 我找不到这个品种。。。
• 在马达加斯加（世界最大的生产国）。有一种名为“Tsy taitry”的强抗 Fov 品种
taitry”，意思是“不敏感”（Anonymous 1995；Grisoni et al. 1997）。植株非常旺盛，结出
的果实非常重，厚度超过 10 毫米和 20 到 30 厘米长，但在马达加斯加没还有商业种植。
>> 我得不到这个品种。…
• 在印度尼西亚（世界第二大生产国）。
VANIA 品种，目前是我所知最有组织、系统的克隆。结合了印尼百年香草栽培经验，从
30 多个高抗病，高产量，高香兰素品种，缩小到 4 个克隆，高产、抗Fov能力强的品种，
非常接近马来西亚的气候。青豆荚产量和质量高（Vania 1 : 1.74 -2.25Kg/Plant, Vanillin %
2.808%。 Vania 2 : 1.35 - 2.09Kg/Plant, Vanillin % 2.983) >>> 我们很幸运能得到它，所以
我们专注于这款高品质的 VANIA Variety。

大家加油！

Q: Many asked me which approach is better for starting a pilot vanilla shade house?
A: It greatly depends on the Strategic Business Objective for setting up the Pilot Farm. I could only share my personal experience and opinion as I am not a Vanilla Expert.

Short Summary of few common approaches:
1. Tissue Culture
a. PRO :
i. For culture filtrate, while in vivo tests indicated that 26.6% of the plants had acquired resistance to the pathogen under greenhouse conditions after 9 weeks. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/331464504_In_vitro_selection_of_vanilla_plants_resistant_to_Fusarium_oxysporum_f_sp_vanillae
ii. Easier to get many new plants
b. CON :
i. Slower Grow rate (I am lack of patience ..)
ii. Tissue Culture NOT CHEAP too, may require more labour (Re-establishing plantlets, transplant, hardening) and cost more.

2. Short Cuttings vines (15cm-30cm)
a. PRO :
i. Faster Grow rate vs Tissue Culture, less work on transplanting
ii. Higher survival rate
iii. Uniform plant growth, new shoots all grow about same rate. Easier to manage. Pilot farm look nicer.
b. CON:
i. Cost per plant could be marginally higher than Tissue Culture.
ii。 Growth rate slower than long cuttings
iii Diameter of new shoots is thinner vs long cutting, slower to mature.

3. Long Cuttings vines (1M, 2M, 3M)
a. PRO:
i. Stronger plant
ii. Growth rate for new shoots and roots system are noticeable much faster than tissue culture and short cuttings.
iii. New shoots also have thicker vine, ready for flowering faster
iv. Would have some earlier flowers to learn and experience Pollination, Curing of pod in shorter time. (Note: Careful don’t get those OLD long vines which has many DEAD nodes)
b. CON:
i. Although more new shoots from the longer cuttings, it also grows at different spots and length. Farm doesn’t seem that uniform.
ii. Harder to get longer cuttings, as it would affect the seller’s harvest
iii. Slightly more costly per meter. (Less count of plant though). But to me it worth the efforts and times for pilot farm, as it provides me valuable experience to grow and learn, to pollinate, to care for pods, to cure the pod in shorter times frame. Provides me a better insight of growing Vanilla, before I decide to grow bigger. Hope this helps those who interested to grow Vanilla.

问：很多人问我哪种方法更适合用来做试点香草种植园？
答：很大程度上这取决于个人建立试点种植园的战略业务目标。由于我不是香草专家，因此我只分享仅为我的个人经验和看法。
简短的摘要几种常见方法：
1.组织培养
a. 优点：
i。育苗在温室条件下9周后，有26.6％的植物获得了对病原体的抗性。 https://www.researchgate.net/publication/331464504_In_vitro_selection_of_vanilla_plants_result_to_Fusarium_oxysporum_f_sp_vanillae
ii。更容易获得许多新植物
b。缺点：
i。较慢的成长率（我有点缺乏耐心..）
ii。组织培养也不便宜，可能需要更多的人工（重植小植株，移植，驯化），并花费更多。

2.短扦插枝（15cm-30cm）
a. 优点：
i。与组织培养相比，生长速度更快，移植工作更少
ii。更高的生存率
iii。均匀的植物生长，新芽都以大约相同的速度生长。易于管理
b。缺点：
i。每株植物的成本可能略高于组织培养。
ii。新芽长的比较慢。
iii。新蔓茎不粗。比较慢成熟

3.长扦插枝（1M，2M，3M）
i。植株较强壮。
ii。新芽和根系的生长速度明显快于组织培养和短扦插枝。
iii。新芽也有较粗的藤蔓，可以更快开花。
iv。会有一些较早开的花朵。在较短的时间内可以学习到照顾香荚兰，学习授粉，照顾果荚和发酵豆荚。（注意：小心不要买到那些有很多死芽点的老长蔓）
b。缺点：
i。尽管长的扦插枝会生更多的新芽，但它也生长在不同高度和长度。试点香草种植园看上去和管理上比较不统一。
ii。比较难获得长扦插枝，因为这会影响卖方的收成
iii。每米成本稍高。（然而植物数量也较少）。但是对我来说，这是超值的速成班。因为它在较短的时间内给我提供了宝贵的经验，缩短了我们了解，学习种植，授粉，照料豆荚，和发酵豆荚。为我提供了关于种植香草的更好的见解，也对我们下一步扩建计划提供了宝贵的基石。
