        Following the seminar a few months ago about spore amendments (wells, traps, and trenches), I’ve been wondering if folks follow a specific recipe for making these amendments, or do folks purchase them commercially? If so, where? Or maybe this is a new technique for most folks and it’s not yet established … ?

          Hello everyone,

          I have been reading some of the discussions and recent literature regarding mating types and spore amendments in Tuber melanosporum orchards.

          For growers who have experimented with spore amendments or re-inoculation:

          Have you observed measurable improvements in productivity?
          Did the response vary between different areas of the orchard?
          Looking back, at what orchard age would you recommend the first application?
          I am curious whether spore amendments have become part of your regular orchard management or if you still consider them experimental.

          Thank you very much.
