APPLICATION OF FOLIAR

 

FERTILIZER ON TEA PLANT

Due to climate change, the high-value, consumer-driven crops - tea has been affected by increased frequency of drought in recent years.

 

Cultivation management in response to drought may include physical improvements such as irrigation systems, alternate watering, the use of organic materials rich in cellulose or lignin, such as copra or rice husks mixed into soil to improve water retention, turning over the soil to break capillary action, and cover rice straw (or miscanthus) on the soil surface or applying sod culture to reduce water evaporation and get through the dry season.

 

Through fertilization management to recovery tea tree growth affected by drought is also an important key to maintaining tea quality. Especially after the drought has been relieved, tea gardens that need pruning should focus on their fertilization management to concentrate nutrients for the sprouting of spring buds. In addition to relying on the roots to absorb the basal fertilizer, foliar fertilizer can also be sprayed on the nearby leaves to quickly supply nutrients and water to restore for the growth of new shoots in spring.

Go Sprout 1 (Special for lateral budding)
- Utilize the natural tillering effect of corn germ extract on plants to accelerate the growth of lateral buds.
- Vitamin B1, B12 to make tea plants maintain good root development and promote the growth of lateral buds.
- Use the small molecule glucose to provide the required nutrients for plant respiration, so that tea plants can sustain their growth even under transpiration.

 

Go Growing 370 (Special for Growing, High in Nitrogen)
- The combination of high nitrogen (N) phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) can promote rapid growth of leaves.
- Appropriate amount of nitrate nitrogen(N), calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), boron (B) and molybdenum (Mo) can lead to a quick increase in leaves thickness.


Full Energy 100 (Special for full growth period)
Appropriate amount of Glucose (a product of photosynthesis) and nucleotides (cyclic guanylic acid) can delay the aging of tea plants, improve quality and yield.
