Optimal conditions for truffles: Using irrigation to expand the range – TRAPI
Successful production of truffles requires critical information on optimal soil and climate conditions. These conditions dictate where truffles should be introduced, and the amendments needed to assure adequate yields. In this TRAPI webinar we discuss the optimal conditions for both European truffles and native North American truffles. Irrigation is a critical amendment to achieve optimal soil moisture and to extend yield potential into arid environments. We review what little is known about moisture requirements and discuss well-tested methods used to schedule irrigation to achieve target moisture conditions.
