Treetec Consulting will provide a consultation service to a select range of forestry and horticultural projects (see consultative activities in Project section). Established links to Universities allow the appointment and supervision of University graduates to work on specific projects pertinent to each industry. Current projects include: Chemical Characterisation of the aroma compounds produced by the Manjimup grown Black Truffle (Edith Cowan University), examining the genetic basis for male and female plant development in Casuarinas (Edith Cowan University), mycorrhizal development on teak plantlets (Murdoch University) and factors affecting truffle production (Murdoch University). Treetec Consulting will assess plants and agricultural crops for the need of appropriate mycorrhizal fungi to improve yield and survival. Treetec Consulting is the only company in Australia producing commercial inoculum for agricultural, horticultural and forestry crops. See the MAI Australia website for more information. http://www.maiaustralia.com.au Treetec Consulting services include the assessment of seedlings and roots of new and existing trufferies for the presence of the French black truffle through microscopic analysis and DNA technology.
