Ten early technical measures for spring tea management
Good spring tea management is the key to ensuring a bumper tea harvest throughout the year. Practice has proven that applying the "ten early" techniques in spring tea management gives very good results. 1. Apply base fertilizer early. Apply base fertilizer early after the tea season ends to replenish the nutrients consumed by that year's tea growth, so that the tea plants have sufficient nutrient reserves, while also strengthening the tea plants' activity in autumn and winter, enhancing their photosynthetic capacity and improving their cold resistance through the winter, which helps the next year's spring tea sprout early and grow vigorously. Base fertilizer should be applied before the autumn equinox, when the root rapid-growth period arrives, and no later than the end of September. Organic fertilizer should be the main type; for mature

After spring tea is picked, the tea plant branches and stems need even more protection
Whether or not tea plants are managed after the spring tea harvest makes a big difference, because after the spring tea harvest the plant body has already consumed a large amount of nutrients. If management cannot keep up at this time, it will not only affect the yield and quality of summer and autumn tea, but also affect the yield and quality of next year's spring tea. Based on our farm's practical experience, the following key points should be carried out after the spring tea harvest: 1. Reasonable topdressing. According to measurements, producing every 50 kg of dry tea requires absorbing about 2.5-3 kg of nitrogen, 0.9-1.2 kg of phosphorus, and 1.1-1.5 kg of potassium from the soil. Between the tea plants, 30 cm

Do not apply compound fertilizer with a high proportion of phosphorus and potassium, otherwise it will accelerate the reproductive growth of tea plants. During midsummer, carry out foliar topdressing. 2. Cultivate and weed. After June, apply chemical weed control once every 25 days. Commonly used herbicides include 10% glyphosate and 25% paraquat aqueous solution, etc. In July, deep-plow the tea garden once, which can both
