Ways to deal with the flowering of tea trees

Yu Huaijiong, Guihua Village, Yuping Town, Hongya County, wrote that: at present, a large number of local tea trees blossom and bear fruit, consuming tea nutrients and affecting tea production in the coming year. Ask what pollution-free pesticides can be used to remove flowers and fruits from tea trees to ensure a bumper tea harvest in the coming year.

Liao Changli, an expert on tea cultivation in Pujiang County, replied: the climate was hot and dry in the early stage of this year, and Rain Water increased in the later period, resulting in stagnant water in some low-lying areas with poor drainage, and the recent warm winter, and three factors led to the blossom and fruit of tea trees in some parts of our province. This phenomenon is bound to affect the output of tea next year. To solve this problem, we can start from two aspects. First, physical measures. Manual picking, flower removal and fruit removal. This is the simplest and most economical measure. At the same time, by pruning branches and leaves, we can break the growth law of tea trees to ensure a bumper tea harvest in the coming year. In addition, for the tea garden with stagnant water, it is necessary to solve the drainage problem; the second is chemical control measures. For flowering and fruiting tea trees, hormone growth regulators containing abscisic acid can be used, which is called ethanolide. But because this regulator is oxytocin, if the concentration is not well controlled, it is prone to side effects. Therefore, it is recommended to use it with caution. In addition, some nitrogen fertilizer can be applied to help the tea plant grow.
