Recently, the reporter saw in the tea garden of Yuhuangjian Tea Industry Co., Ltd. in Wushan Town, Gucheng County, that tea farmers were shuttling back and forth, using machines to prune tea tree branches and leaves.
According to tea experts, after the spring tea picking, a large amount of nutrients are consumed by tea trees, with the gradual rise of the temperature in summer, the weeds in the tea garden grow vigorously, and pests and diseases are frequent, so the management of the summer tea garden in our city is imminent, and the tea farmers need to do the following three things:
1. Proper pruning management
After the spring tea harvest is over, for adult tea gardens and aging tea gardens that do not pick summer and autumn teas, deep pruning can be taken, about 15 to 20 cm. On the one hand, it can reduce the nutrient consumption of tea leaves, and on the other hand, direct return to the field can be used as a base fertilizer to increase nutrients and maintain the ecological microbial cycle of tea gardens.
2. Actively carry out summer top dressing
After a large number of tea trees are picked in spring, if they are not topdressed in time, it will lead to excessive loss of nutrients and trace elements, which is not conducive to the growth of tea trees, so that the yield of summer and autumn tea in the later period is reduced and the quality is not high.
3. Use agricultural management measures for prevention and control
The high temperature and high humidity in summer is the high incidence period of tea inchworm, which can be trapped, and at the same time, combined with physical methods such as yellow plates and insecticidal lamps for insect extermination.
Tea experts remind that in the process of summer tea garden management, the pruning of tea tree branches and leaves must be completed before the end of May.
