The cultivation techniques of white tea in our town are introduced as follows:

1. Cultivation techniques of white tea

(1) choose a good garden site. In order to build the white tea garden, we should choose the gentle slope area with shelter from the wind and the sun, flat terrain and deep soil layer. The whole soil layer requires 0.80-1.00 meters, and the loose soil layer requires about 0.50 meters. Land with low groundwater level and good ventilation and fertilizer conservation. The best soil types are acid yellow soil, sandy yellow soil and red-yellow loam.

(2) Deep ploughing and soil preparation and application of sufficient bottom fertilizer. The land for planting white tea requires a depth of 0.45m to 0.50m, a good drainage ditch around, through the leveling of the land, and then layered application of base fertilizer, about 3000 kg of livestock fertilizer per mu. Add 150-200 kg cake fertilizer and 20-25 kg potassium sulfate compound fertilizer (double the special compound fertilizer for tea). The bottom fertilizer requires three-dimensional deep application, so that the root system does not touch the fertilizer directly when transplanting, so as not to cause fertilizer to burn roots. Affect the survival of tea seedlings.

(3) planting scale. In order to improve efficiency. It can be implanted properly. Single row spacing 1.33, clump spacing 0.33 meters, each clump 2-3 seedlings, double row, small row spacing 0.33 meters, the others are the same single row.

(4) transplanting: when planting tea seedlings, open the transplanting ditch or planting hole according to the row spacing determined by the planting scale. It is best to open now and plant now. Keep the soil moist in the ditch (cave). White tea seedlings were propagated by asexual cuttage. There is no main root, the distribution of root system is shallow, so it should be planted deeply when planting. Generally planted to the buried neck (mud door) is moderate.

(5) in case of prolonged sunny weather, water should be watered several times to do a good job of drought resistance and frost prevention. And to achieve the lack of plant replacement, we can use the same age seedlings with soil transplantation, return to make up for the lack of the method. To achieve the whole seedling and the whole seedling.

(6) to prevent and control diseases, pests and weeds, and apply fertilizers frequently. Artificial weeding should be used in tea gardens at an early age. The fertilization of tea garden should be applied frequently with thin fertilizer, multiple fertilizers should be applied according to the growing season, one sprouting fertilizer should be applied before spring tea germination, and 3-5 times topdressing should be applied during summer and autumn tea. Sufficient base fertilizer is applied in early autumn and early winter, and the base fertilizer can be animal fertilizer, cake fertilizer or compound fertilizer. The method of fertilization is the same as that of conventional tea garden.

(7) pruning and picking: the method of stereotyped pruning and light pruning of white tea garden is the same as that of conventional tea garden. But the degree of pruning should be a little lighter. Picking at an early age should be done with more left and less picked. Cultivate the crown of high-yield trees.
