What kind of tea does Daye tea belong to?

Big leaf tea is the raw material for making Pu'er tea. in recent years, with the heating up of Pu'er tea market, tea farmers are more active in growing tea, so what is the planting method of big leaf tea?

What kind of tea does Daye tea belong to?

Daye tea belongs to Camellia. It is a unique tea species in Yunnan, which is native to Xishuangbanna, Pu'er and other places in Yunnan. Big-leaf tea and its related species have large and beautiful petals, numerous stamens and beautiful plant type. In some places, big-leaf tea is cultivated as a garden tree.

Second, what is the planting method of Daye tea?

1. The choice of garden land

The garden should choose the land with convenient transportation, good water conservancy conditions, no large factories or pollution sources around, superior ecological environment, less sun in the west, soil pH between pH4.5-6, deep soil layer, fertile soil, slope below 25 °.

two。 Reclamation quality

The suitable depth and width of planting ditch is 60 × 80 cm. The base fertilizer is applied into the ditch when filling the ditch, applying 2000 kg of organic fertilizer and 100kg of cruller per mu. Pay attention to mixing the fertilizer and soil evenly, and then cover the fertilizer layer with 20 cm thick red (yellow) subsoil. The reclaimed tea garden requires deep ploughing layer, sufficient base fertilizer, low inside and high outside the table, which is conducive to drainage. The fertilizer tendency of tea root system was used to induce the root system to develop into deep soil and enhance the drought resistance of tea plant.

3. Planting period and planting mode

① colonization period

The most suitable for planting cuttings in a large area is from June to July in the rainy season. The cuttage seedlings planted in the early rainy season have high survival rate, long growth period, and can save manpower and material resources. However, the specific planting time should be determined according to whether the cuttings meet the transplanting standard or not. Where irrigation conditions are available, bag cuttings can be planted before the rainy season.

② planting mode

According to the plant shape and Mesa width of the varieties, the open plant shape varieties and Mesa below 1.8m should be planted in the way of single plant and single row, with a distance of about 30 cm and 1200-1400 plants per mu. Erect plant varieties and Mesa more than 1.8m were planted in the way of single plant and double row, plant spacing was about 30cm, small row spacing was 30cm, planting 2000-2400 plants per mu. Practice has proved that the individual growth of improved clonal tea varieties is strong, and the tea garden established according to the above method can meet the requirements of high quality, high yield and stable yield.

4. Planting method

The cuttings are propagated from the branches of the mother tree. In order to achieve the effect of high survival rate and rapid growth, measures corresponding to its root system should be taken during planting.

When transplanting the seedlings, we should bring more soil to avoid damaging the roots as far as possible. when planting the seedlings, we should first make a mound of soil in the planting ditch, put the fibrous roots on the soil heap to make the fibrous roots stretch, then cover the roots with fine loose soil and cover them with plastic film. cover shade net (or insert tree branch shade) protection. When planting two-year-old seedlings, the soil should be layered and pressed by hand when filling, covered with plastic film and shaded net, and the plastic bag should be torn off when the bag seedlings are planted, and the soil should be placed in the planting hole. Fill the hole with fine broken loose soil, press it properly, and then spread the torn plastic bag next to the tea seedling, which plays a certain role in preventing soil consolidation and raising ground temperature. Bag seedling planting should also do a good shade protection.

Big-leaf tea has the characteristics of strong growth potential, early germination, long picking period, fat bud leaves, rich contents, high content of tea polyphenols and so on. It is not difficult to grow, and the market prospect is considerable. Tea farmers who want to plant should act quickly.
