black truffle world wide market.
With over 13 tones of black
truffles produced last season,

but west coast prices from larger
growers have been from AU$750-
1000 a kg.

5. Truffle Farming
What are the pre-requisites to
grow Truffles?
Are these Requirement met
anywhere in India??
Has Modern Farming
Techniques have the answers?
In the United States, black
Perigord truffles and
Burgundy truffles (Tuber
uncinatum) are currently being
produced in North and South
Carolina, Tennessee and
Virginia. Other farms in West
Virginia, Maryland and
Delaware are close to
harvesting.

6. Truffle Cultivation
Cultivation involves the
planting and establishing of the
host tree orchards and inoculation
of the host rhizosphere with
truffle mycelium. A critical phase
of the cultivation is the quality
control of the mycorrhizal
plants. Before inoculating the
truffle mycelia,
other contaminating soil fungi in
the rhizosphere of the host plants
are to be controlled to ensure
the establishment of the truffle
mycelia and success of the
plantation

7. European white
truffles can sell for
as much as $3,600
a pound, making
