Tea plants are prone to banjhi (dormant buds) after autumn, so effective prevention and control are very important

Growing Techniques 0 views
Banjhi in tea plants refers to the phenomenon where tea buds are slow to grow, or bud break is delayed with a low sprouting rate and the new shoots produced are rather small. When tea plants are in the banjhi state, it is extremely favorable for flower bud differentiation, causing the tea plants to produce a large number of tea flowers from late October to mid-November, which consumes a great deal of nutrients, directly affects the growth of tea leaves the following year, and accelerates the aging of the plant. Therefore, preventing banjhi in tea plants is very important.

Therefore, preventing banjhi in tea plants is very important.

To prevent banjhi in tea plants, the tea garden soil should be fully tilled 3-5cm deep in summer and autumn, so as to cut the soil capillaries and help retain moisture in the soil. Alternatively, cover the rows between tea plants with 3-5cm of rice straw to conserve moisture and lower the soil temperature. If banjhi has already occurred in the tea plants, regulate the soil and air humidity in combination with irrigation. At the same time, immediately mix 0.005% "920" with 0.8% urea aqueous solution and spray it evenly on the leaves and tea bud areas; after 2-3 days the banjhi can be relieved.
