What are the precautions for cultivating tea plants with good methods?

(1) The issue of the tea plant's shaping height. This directly relates to the transport, utilization, absorption, and consumption of nutrients within the tea plant. It is generally believed that shorter tea plants are somewhat better, and the appropriate plant height is between 60-70 cm. Minerals, inorganic salts, nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and other nutrients travel a short distance from the tea plant's roots to the branches, buds, and leaves, at a fast speed, with low consumption, concentrated nutrients, and high utilization efficiency. (2) The issue of leaving weeds to grow. First, perennial firewood, grass, and tree roots must be cleared from the tea garden, such as the root rhizomes of small bamboo, roots of white-haired grass, pig mother vine, wild grapes, and the fruits of miscellaneous forest trees that fall into the tea garden after ripening

(1) The issue of the tea plant's shaping height. This directly relates to the transport, utilization, absorption, and consumption of nutrients within the tea plant.

(2) The issue of leaving weeds to grow. First, perennial firewood, grass, and tree roots must be cleared from the tea garden, such as the root rhizomes of small bamboo, roots of white-haired grass, pig mother vine, wild grapes, and the fruits of miscellaneous forest trees that fall into the tea garden after ripening, and they should be promptly removed. If the seeds cannot be cleared out, it will be a bit more troublesome when seedlings grow the following year, but it is still easy to pull them out during the seedling stage when the soil is moist. The weeds to be left for growing should be varieties with small root systems, large grass blades, and thick sturdy stems, which fix more nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium and accumulate more organic matter, such as the "flying all over the sky" wild dandelion and other varieties. These wild vegetable-type grasses can grow in tea gardens in all tea regions, and we can fully tap into them. The height of the grass must be controlled; except during dry periods, do not let the grass grow higher than the tea canopy. For those that grow excessively, the method of using grass to suppress grass can be applied.

(3) The issue of mulching the garden. When cutting grass or cutting tender tree leaves, choose disease-free ones with good tenderness and many grass blades. After spreading the grass, scatter some soil and press it down, especially at the edges of the tea rows and at both ends. This is beneficial for preventing fire.

(4) Regarding the control of tea plant pests and diseases. No matter what work is being done in the tea garden, always observe carefully. Once pests are found, they must be eliminated, but do not kill them by mistake, such as the larvae of ladybugs, so careful identification is required in actual practice. The positive and negative characteristics of some biological insects should be scientifically utilized. For example, the utilization of termites: they have a strong ability to decompose firewood and straw and have a good effect on loosening the soil. In addition, when it is found that there is mud dirt contaminating the bark at the base of the tea plant's roots, immediately wipe off and scrape away that layer of mud powder wrapping the root base.

(5) The issue of tea garden sanitation. In the tea garden, the feces of animals (such as wild hares) and human excrement must be promptly buried with soil to prevent contamination of the tea plants and tea leaves.
