Planting methods and management techniques of tea oil trees (what soil is suitable for tea oil trees)

Choose the area and environment for planting tea oil trees

1. Generally, tea seed trees are suitable for planting in southern China, and can be planted in mountains and hilly areas.

The areas that are more suitable for its growth include Hunan, Jiangxi, Guangxi, Zhejiang, Henan and other regions, and it is widely planted in various regions from the Yangtze River Basin to South China.

2. Tea seed trees are suitable for planting in acidic soil and like to grow in a warm environment. Therefore, they are not cold-resistant. The average temperature during planting should be stable at 16-18℃.

If the temperature is too low, the flowers will fall off. The tea tree needs sufficient light to grow, otherwise it will produce few fruits. If it rains for a long time during the flowering period, it will affect pollination.

Tea tree selection requirements

Generally, if you want to grow high-yield tea seed trees, you must select high-quality seeds with strong disease resistance and high survival rate. During the process, the selected seeds will be stratified for germination. Be careful not to expose them to direct sunlight and they need to be placed in a cool and ventilated environment for germination.

Apply enough basal fertilizer to tea tree

1. When planting tea seed trees in spring, you must first choose acidic soil with strong water retention and smooth drainage. Avoid planting in heavy clay or alkaline soil, otherwise root rot will easily occur.

2. Before sowing, apply sufficient base fertilizer to the soil. Fertilizer should mainly be organic fertilizer. You can also add a small amount of humus on the topsoil.

Tea tree planting

1. Before planting, the soil needs to be thoroughly disinfected to reduce the growth of pathogens and facilitate the healthy growth of seedlings.

2. After planting, sprinkle a small amount of fine fertilizer on it and cover it with a layer of moist straw, which will help to retain moisture and heat, and then water the soil until it is moist.

3. When the seedlings grow 3-5 true leaves, remove the wet grass in time to allow ventilation.

Fertilization management of tea tree

1. Pay attention to the amount of fertilizer used during the seedling period. Do not apply heavy fertilizers during this period. Generally, nitrogen fertilizer is applied as the main fertilizer. Fertilization can be carried out according to the principle of small amounts and multiple times, which is beneficial to promote the healthy growth of the plants.

2. After the plants are formed, you can apply nitrogen fertilizer several times. When they bloom, pay attention to applying phosphorus and potassium fertilizers. When they are in the peak fruit-bearing period, you can apply boron fertilizer once.

Tea tree disease prevention

1. Common diseases of tea seed trees include anthracnose, soft rot, root rot, etc. These diseases will cause a large reduction in the yield of tea seed trees, and even cause the plants to wither and die during the growth process. They must be prevented and treated in time.

2. Generally, when the disease is discovered, the diseased area should be cleaned in time, and an appropriate amount of carbendazim or dichlorvos should be used for prevention and control.
