Soil Analysis for Your Truffle Farm

Soil analysis allows you to understand the actual truffle potential in your farm. Land choice is essential to the success of a truffle plantation. Without the proper pH or soil structure, yields will be greatly diminished. Furthermore, without a soil sample and understanding your soil’s buffer capacity, there is no way to accurately lime the soil to achieve a pH of 7.5-8.0
