Science presented in Vienna

This month we’re excited to be presenting our research at the First European Conference on the “European” Truffle Tuber aestivum/uncinatum.
Hosted at the Biodiversity Center of the University of Vienna, this is a small gathering of scientists that we hope will strengthen in numbers with each meeting.
Although only a small gathering, we’ll be presenting a few select areas of our in-house research. Our primary topic will be the growth and development of truffle-trees in relation to abiotic factors. We’re presenting how several key climatic factors have a distinct influence on development, independent of soil conditions using unique and paired in-house research sites.
Additionally, we’ll be displaying how weather as well as soil mapping and interestingly, population density can predict wild-truffle locations.
The above are extracts from our in-house research, most of which remains out of the pubic domain and only disseminated to partners. However, we will be publishing this data on the website next month.

    The prime tree planting time November – March is upon us. Traditionally, November to March are good months to plant, as the trees are dormant and planting in the winter allows the truffley-roots plenty of time to settle in before mycorrhiza and root-growth starts again in spring.
