What is it?

Thanks to the geolocated recording of each truffle using GPS, we generate detailed production maps by plot for each season.

You don’t need to invest in expensive equipment, you can use a standard GPS device or simply your own smartphone. Today, thanks to advances in technology and the development of specialized apps, field data collection is more accessible and efficient than ever.

We tailor our services to each individual case and provide continuous support to help you achieve your specific goals accurately.

How much does it cost?

All information is handled confidentially and exclusively with the client. Tell us about your case, and we will provide you with personalized advice.
  • Acquisition and customization of GPS devices: Use your own smartphone or purchase a GPS device such as the GARMIN Dakota 20 (€200/unit).
  • Training: €400 (travel expenses not included)
  • Implementation costs: €30 per hectare
  • Compilation of the annual report: €400 per plot (up to 5 ha) plus €30 per extra hectare

Prices do not include VAT.

Process

• Step 1: Plantation Digitization

We take care of this by locating all the trees in your plantation, which will serve as reference points when marking the truffles.

• Step 2: Creating the field data form

Choose the information you want to gather. We customize it to your needs and use dropdown menus to speed up data collection.

• Step 3: Data Collection

Go out to the field and mark where the truffles appear, recording the required information.

• Step 4: Results Interpretation

Once the harvest season is complete, download all the collected data and prepare an annual campaign report.

Key Benefits

• Know Your Plantation. Where and when it produces, answers questions like:

  1. What is the weight of the truffles throughout the entire harvest season?
  2. Which areas or trees are the most productive?
  3. What percentage of truffles appear into spanish wells?
  4. What percentage of truffles appear in shaded versus sunny exposures?
  5. What type of pruning does my plantation require?
  6. What percentage of the total production has been affected by Leiodes beetle?
  7. Are there any areas that do not produce?
  8. Which irrigation frequency produces the most truffles?

• Works Offline. No matter where your plantation is located, this system allows you to work in remote areas without phone coverage or internet access.

• We work with precision. By having all the plantation trees mapped on your mobile device, submetric accuracy can be achieved (error less than 1 meter).

• We work with free, open-source software licensed under the GNU General Public License, which is easy to access.

• 100% Remote Support. The entire process can be carried out remotely.

• Generate a continuous record over the years. The more information added to the system, the deeper the insights we can gain.

• Generate a heat map to visualize which areas are the most productive.

• Resource Optimization. This type of record-keeping is highly recommended for young plantations starting to produce, typically between years 5 and 10. Divide your plantation into several sectors and establish different management patterns so that when your plantation reaches full production, you know which spore inoculation, irrigation frequency, pruning, or treatments are most cost-effective for your operation.
