Soil and Planting.
Truffles grows in soils with precise physical-chemical characteristics.
The soil must have carbonate(CaCO3) and subalcaline or alcaline pH(from 7,1 to 8,5).Soil which are not to heavy or which has good drainage,thanks to a natural slope and to the presence of stons or gravel is of course preferred.
Tese elements favour the circulation of oxygen in the soil which results in being vital for truffle growth.
The more precious the truffle the more it demands from the soil.The easier truffles to cultivate,grow well even in not very idel soils.
To know the soil composition,go to a specialized laboratory for a physical and chemical analysis.
The planting of well certified plants is fundamental for the good results of a truffle orchard.However it is important to state that ,before starting plantation,it is necessary to have some preliminary information inorder not to make big mistakes which could cause complete plant failure.
