Cultivation techniques of Anxi tie guan yin tea
The Anxi Tie Guan Yin tea in Fujian is now in pollution-free cultivation, while the most critical technical measure is to
master the garden soil management and fertilization technology.
The technology of tea garden soil management
Technical measures of soil tillage and effective roles
The pollution-free tea garden emphasis much more on moderate and deep cultivating.Moderate cultivation usually being
conducted before the spring tea, once a year with the depth from 10-15cm, which is good for the germination and new leaves
growing of the spring tea.The deep cultivation usually conducted once or twice a year has a strong effect on aging and
promoting soil, thickening live soil, and decreasing pests.However, the deep cultivation may easily break the tree roots, so
it is a high-tech measure and harder to master. It requires flexible cultivating times.Deep cultivations in all types of tea
gardens are being conducted after the autumn dragon well tea ( winter), together with the spraying lime sulfur and comprehensively
cleaning work.
The technical measure of soil covering
After the shallow plowing, picking the safe, clean and pollution-free straw and weeds to cover the soil 10cm far from the
root before the drought. The cover is required to be uniform and thickness of 8-10cm and the soil should not be seen.In the
tea gardens on the sloping fields, people put the cover in horizontal direction, which may protect from the straight rush of
rain, as well prevent the cover accumulating when rain water flows.Deep cultivation in autumn and winter may not only turn
the covers over into the bottom to be fertilizers but also prevent weeds and soil erosion, so that may adjust the earth
temperature to promote growing
