Conditions of Tea Plants Grow

Conditions of Tea Plants Grow
            Tea plants originated from sub-tropical regions, the tea plants require cool. Daily air temperature is good for tea plants ranged from 13-25oC followed by bright sunshine and relative humidity during the day not less than 70%. Tea plants will stop growth when the temperature is below 13oC and above 30oC and relative humidity less than 70%. Tea plant is a plant that is less resistant to dryness to require annual rainfall is less than 2000 mm and spread evenly.
            Tea plants require soil that is compatible for growth. Compatible land is fertile, contain more organic matter, not bercadas, as well as a degree ofAgen Bola Tangkas acidity (pH) of 4.5 to 5.6. Generally good land is land that is located on the slopes of volcanoes commonly called Andisol land.

            Because tea plants require cold temperatures, the tea plantations are generally located in the mountains-mountains with elevations> 800 meters above sea level. Based elevasinya tea garden can be divided into three types, namely: 1. Lowland Gardening (800 meters above sea level) Second. Garden squares are (800-1200 meters above sea level) 3. Gardening plateau (> 1200 meters above sea level) Tea cultivation
            In the early stages of development of tea gardens, the selection of plant material is essential. In the tea garden there are two kinds of used plant, that plant materials native seeds, and cuttings of the original plant material (clones). At this time of the original crop seeds have not developed except for the need for research, farmers prefer the original plant material cutting (clone) of the original plant material for cutting its growth is more uniform and superior varieties of tea that has many advantages. Tea Research Centre and Kina Gambung, has a superior tea clone 11 type Assamica called Tea Clone GMB 1 - 11 that have the legal GMB produtifitas potential high tea so reach 5800 kg / ha / th, and 5 superior clones of clones Sinensis given Naman Tea GMBS 1 - GMBS 5 has the potential productivity of tea so to reach 2,200 kg / ha / th. The whole clone was superior to SK as the Minister of Agriculture RI Superior Clones Tea in Indonesia and is protected by law.
            Tea cultivation is done during the rainy season, due to the availability of water are definitely guaranteed. Tea cultivation system is a single line spacing used was 120 cm for line spacing and line spacing in the range of 60-90 cm, in addition to the single line system there is also a double row system with inter-row spacing of 120 Roller Blindscm and a distance of at least planted in a double row range between 60-75 with an equilateral triangle system. More the amount of crop plant population per unit area the faster the title of each cover crop, the number of plants per ha varies depending on the spacing used, and generally is 10000-13000 trunk / ha.
