Recently, a group of seven leaders from the General Logistics Department of Laos, the Economic Bureau and the Agriculture Bureau of the Ministry of National Defense, went to Bijiashan in Yunnan to visit the Chinese Truffle (Truffle) Planting Technology Experimental Demonstration Park. Under the guidance of truffle dogs, 60 black truffle fruit bodies were harvested from a mycorrhizal tree, weighing 538 grams. On December 16th, another 2260 grams of black truffles were collected under 5 chestnut mycorrhiza trees in the same plantation, with an average of 452 grams per plant; 48 plants per mu were planted, and the yield per mu could reach 21696 grams, far exceeding other countries. Production of truffle plantations. The Lao Fang Logistics Minister stated that this is the most valuable, ecological and successful scientific research result of the mountain planting project I have ever seen.

    In 2008, the China Truffle (Truffle) Planting Technology Experimental Demonstration Garden was jointly established by the Advanced Fungi System and Resources Research Group of Kunming Institute of Botany, Chinese Academy of Sciences and Yunnan Bijiashan Truffle Technology Co., Ltd. The plantation has successively planted 5 batches of domestic truffle (truffle) mycorrhizal seedlings totaling 110 mu and 5320 mycorrhizal seedlings. The truffle (truffle) mycorrhizal host plants include Huashan pine, chestnut, hazelnut, Quercus sylvestris, Yunnan poplar, etc., among which chestnut and Huashan pine are the main ones.

    "The mycorrhizal seedlings planted for the first time produced the first mature fruit bodies four years later on December 13, 2012. Since then, although the yield has been unstable, there have been more or less harvests every year." Liu Peigui, a researcher at the Kunming Institute of Botany, told " China Science News.

    So far, this experimental demonstration plantation has been established for 10 years and is the earliest truffle plantation in my country. The success of the plantation provides important experience and examples for the promotion of planting in a large area in my country.

    After visiting the results of truffle plantations in my country, the Lao truffle (truffle) observation group stated that it would actively respond to the Chinese government’s “One Belt, One Road” initiative, and jointly develop truffles and other greens on the land use and deep joint development of 600 hectares of barren hills and slopes in the Xieng Khouang area of Laos. The planting development project had talks with the Chinese side, and the two sides reached a consensus. The Lao side expressed that it would make every effort to introduce the Chinese truffle planting project to the ground.
