## What is Truffle Grower?

Truffle Grower helps with the collection and visualisation of truffle production and tree health data for your truffle orchard.

Tree label scanning makes it easy to select trees while working in the orchard hunting truffles or recording tree health data.

Patterns in truffle production and tree health across the orchard are revealed through the use of interactive orchard maps overlaid with health and production data.

Truffle processing conforms to the UNECE Standard FFV-53 European standard, which is used by the Australian Truffle Grower's Association.

Historical weather data from Davis WeatherLink-IP weather and soil moisture stations can be integrated with the Truffle Grower application.

The impact of cultural practices, soil moisture and weather on the quality and productivity of the orchard can be revealed using Truffle Growers powerful production charts.  

Production and weather data can be exported for further analysis using third party software such as Excel and Numbers.

### 4/5 — Love it.

*2023-01-19*

We hesitated about buying this app for a long while because of the price, but now we’ve purchased it and started to use it we can see that it’s going to make a real change in our Truffiere. Apart from some minor tweaking as we go like a Dark Mode, it’s an excellent comprehensive truffle growing app. From tracking the health of our trees to recording all the details of harvesting down to the tree level, there is nothing like it. Certainly a project worth supporting if you’re a truffle grower that wants to record in detail production and health of your truffiere. Well done Alistair. Fish River Truffles.

### 1.9 — 2024-01-21

Enhancements to the way historical data is visualised in the orchard views, including:
- optionally fade out old truffle locations on the map by increasing age
- allow users to see historical data using the orchard map
- add a new configurable truffle location report

Fade Older Truffles:
An option has been added to "Fade older truffles".  When switched on, older truffles will appear faded in the map view.
The most recent/current seasons truffles will be shown as normal.
Truffles from previous seasons will be partially transparent - you can still see them on the map, but they will be fainter than the current truffles.
The older the truffles are, the fainter they will be shown on the map.

View Historical Data:
This enhancement allows a user to visually review changes to the orchard over time.
A "Display Date" field has been added to the orchard map view, allowing a user to select either a historical date or the value "now".  
If a historical display date is selected, data shown in the truffle orchard view will reflect the state of the orchard on that date:
-  Historical truffle and tree data will be shown as it was on the selected display date.
-  More recent truffles and observation data will not be shown.
If the value "now" is selected the orchard view shows the most recent truffles and observations.

Truffle Location Report:
A new truffle location report makes it easy to track changes to where truffles have been found in the orchard over a number of seasons.
When requested, a configurable Truffle Location Report is generated as a pdf file.  The truffle species, colours and date ranges to plot are all configurable.

### 1.8 — 2022-11-24
