Frost

According to weather forecasts, from February 1st to 6th, Hubei Province will experience the most powerful cold wave of the winter, with low temperatures, rain, snow, and ice. The average temperature across the province is expected to drop by 6°C to 10°C. This severe freezing weather will pose a significant threat to the normal growth of tea plants, particularly young ones. Precautionary measures should be taken to minimize the impact of extreme freezing conditions on tea fields and ensure the production of spring tea next year. Influence of Low-Temperature Freezing Weather on Tea Production Severe freezing weather poses a significant threat to the normal growth of tea plants, especially young ones, potentially leading to reduced yields, decreased quality, and even plant death. Measures to Prevent Frost Damage in Tea Plants 1. Covering for Frost Protection For mature tea plants in high-altitude areas, non-woven fabrics, ground films, or shade nets can be used to directly cover the canopy, with better results achieved by erecting a shelter 10cm to 20cm above the canopy. Covering with rice straw or crop stalks provides even better protection against extreme cold. Covering materials should be removed when temperatures rise. 2. Spraying Anti-Freeze Agents For mature tea…

The following is Part Four, focusing on storing Puer, pursuing famous mountain origins or quality? Shi Yun: I would like to express great appreciation for Teacher Li Yang's sharing. A young lady just now wanted to ask President Zheng and Teacher Li Yang about a conversion issue. Zhou Xin: Teacher, regarding storage, for example, Tianmen Mountain, does it mean that as long as its glycoside content is high, and the catechin and caffeine content is low, it suggests that it requires higher humidity? And Menghai tea, with higher catechin and caffeine content, has lower humidity requirements, only forming white frost when humidity exceeds 14%. This is the first time I've heard this, so I want to confirm if my understanding is correct. Zheng Shaohong: Indeed. For instance,…

I. Poor Quality Manifestations The main manifestations of poor quality in albino tea include overgrowth of new shoots, distortion of buds and leaves, hindered recovery to green, and physiological disorders. 1. Overgrowth of New Shoots Overgrowth is the mildest manifestation of poor quality. When new shoots develop to have two or three leaves, they no longer produce new leaves but instead show a significant increase in stem length. The length of a one-bud-two-or-three-leaves shoot can reach over 10 cm, sometimes even exceeding 15 cm. These buds and leaves are well-albino, but due to their excessive length, they are unsuitable for flat or strip-shaped tea processing. However, there is still room for processing into coiled or curled teas. This phenomenon is more likely to occur in leaf-white type albino teas. Morphology of Overgrown Albino Shoots 2. Distortion of Buds and Leaves Distortion primarily occurs in tea buds that sprout later during lower temperatures. It is characterized by hooked bud shapes, hardened green stems, long and slender leaves resembling willow leaves, twisted leaf surfaces with asymmetric veins, irregular leaf margins, and snow-white coloration that is hard and thin. These buds and leaves cannot be processed into normal fresh leaf shapes, and the…

Since February 20, a new round of cold wave has arrived, with freezing rain covering a wide area and the lowest temperature dropping below zero degrees Celsius. To ensure that this year's spring tea sales are not affected, agricultural experts from the Agricultural Science Institute of Xiangyang City, Hubei Province, have actively carried out publicity, mobilization, technical guidance, and service work to ensure effective cold protection in tea gardens and minimize the impact of damage to tea gardens as much as possible. Covering tea trees (photo provided by correspondent) It is understood that Xiangyang currently has a tea garden area of 467,000 mu, with a newly built tea garden area of 70,000 mu. According to the current growth trend of tea trees, most of the old tea gardens can withstand low temperatures. However, high-altitude tea areas, early budding varieties, and clonal tea tree varieties still need special attention, especially as the altitude increases, the frost damage to tea trees will become more evident. In response to this cooling, agricultural experts recommend that tea growers take timely measures such as covering tea trees with shade nets and ground cloths; spraying freeze-resistant agents on tea leaves, such as brassinosteroids and foliar fertilizers,…

Nursery management significantly influences the survival and transplanting rates of tea seedlings. Different ecological and physiological factors at various stages of development require distinct management approaches, depending on when the cuttings were taken. I. Development Cycle of Tea Seedlings When using short-shoot cuttings, the process from planting to developing a standard-compliant tea seedling can be divided into two phases: the pre-plant stage where the cutting is establishing itself, and the phase where a complete plant develops into a viable seedling. The survival rate during the first phase is critical in propagation techniques. Summer and early autumn cuttings have longer growth cycles and larger growth volumes, which often result in a significant number of weaker plants due to competition for nutrients and space, particularly in the second year of growth. To improve transplanting rates and seedling quality, the second phase is typically managed in two different periods: one when the seedling is less than 20 cm tall, focusing on promoting vigorous growth, and another once it surpasses 20 cm, implementing measures to control stronger plants while stimulating weaker ones. II. Element Management Nursery element management encompasses water, light, temperature, fertilization, pest and weed control, and plant regulation. Each of these elements…

To enable tea trees to better withstand low-temperature frost damage in winter, it is essential to strengthen their internal nutrition. With a certain level of resistance, they can adapt better to changes in external temperatures. During the growth and development period of tea trees, focus on enhancing nutrient content and soil fertility, allowing the tea trees to grow stronger and accumulate more nutrients. In autumn and winter, concentrate on applying base fertilizers. The application of base fertilizers should primarily consist of farmyard manure, supplemented with potassium and phosphorus fertilizers, as well as sheep and cow manure. These fertilizers generate some heat, which can increase surface soil temperature. Tea trees have sufficient nutrients during their brief dormancy in winter, enabling them to successfully survive the cold season. Applying excessive nitrogen fertilizer in autumn can stimulate vigorous growth in tea trees, delaying their entry into dormancy. This results in soft and tender branches and leaves that are less resistant to low-temperature frost damage. In winter, mound up the soil around the roots of tea trees to a height of seven to nine centimeters. This improves soil structure, with particularly noticeable effects on plots with shallow soil layers. I. Measures Against Frost Damage…

Impacted by a moderate-strength El Niño event, and superimposed on the backdrop of global warming, the global average temperature in 2023 may break the record for the warmest year set in 2016. It is expected that temperatures in most regions of China will be close to or higher than the long-term average this winter through to next spring, but with active cold air phases. Precipitation in southern regions is expected to be above normal, increasing the risk of compound meteorological disasters. Given these complex climate changes, timely management of tea gardens during winter can help them safely overwinter and lay a foundation for high-quality tea production and increased income for tea farmers in the coming year. So how should we manage tea gardens in winter? Follow along as we look at the winter and spring tea garden management technical guidelines developed jointly by the Department of Plant Industry Management of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, the National Agricultural Technology Extension Service Center, and the Expert Advisory Group for Tea of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs. 1. Disaster Prevention 1.1 Preventing Frost Damage Monitor weather forecasts closely. Before a cold wave, implement frost protection measures such as…

Tea plants are leaf crops cultivated for the harvest of young leaves and buds. Spring tea is the season with the highest quality and most significant economic benefits in the annual tea production cycle. Currently, it is a critical period for implementing spring farming activities across the province. Promptly addressing spring tea production and implementing relevant tea garden management measures play a vital role in enhancing tea yield and quality, as well as increasing the economic benefits for tea farmers and tea enterprises. I. Early Application of Bud Stimulating Fertilizer The new shoots of tea plants in spring grow vigorously, at a rapid pace, and consume relatively large amounts of nutrients. The root system has strong absorption capabilities, and it is difficult to meet the growth needs solely relying on the base fertilizer applied in the previous autumn, which can result in a "disconnection" of soil nutrients in the tea garden. Studies have shown that applying bud stimulating fertilizers about 25 days before the emergence of tea buds not only helps increase spring tea yields (comparing tea gardens with and without spring fertilization, there is an overall increase of 10%-20% in the annual yield), but also plays a good role…

In order to do a good job in the spring tea garden management throughout the city in 2023 and ensure high yields and quality of this year's tea production, the City's Agriculture and Rural Affairs Bureau has formulated the following technical recommendations for spring tea garden management. 01. Timely Removal of Winter Protective Materials For young tea gardens that have been protected with soil over winter, the soil should be removed promptly to promote normal growth of the tea seedlings. Soil removal is typically done in two stages, with the first stage after the "Spring Equinox," removing half the height of the plants, and the second stage around the "Pure Brightness" period, removing all the covering soil. For tea gardens protected by plastic greenhouses over winter, ventilation should be adjusted according to temperature changes to prevent leaf scorching; the plastic film can be removed when temperatures rise. For tea gardens using windbreaks, inter-row straw mulching, or canopy coverings, these protective materials should be removed around the "Awakening of Insects" period. 02. Tea Garden Fertilization Spring fertilization in tea gardens should use tea plant-specific bio-fertilizers, slow-release fertilizers, and foliar fertilizers. After fertilizing, not only will the tea plants quickly regain vitality,…

The winter protection and management of tea gardens is a key focus of tea garden management, critical for ensuring the yield, quality, and profitability of spring tea in the following year. To guide this year's winter protection and management of tea gardens, the Haiqing Town has developed technical guidance for winter protection and management of tea gardens in Qingdao Haiqing. I. New (Renewed) Tea Gardens (1) Select Cold-Resistant Varieties. Suitable cold-resistant varieties for planting in Haiqing Town include: Fuding Dabai, Huangshan Variety, Jiukeng Variety, Longjing Changye, Zhongcha 108, Longjing 43, Maolu, Jiukeng Early, Echa No.1, Bixiang Early, Yellow Rose, Jin Xuan, Pingyang Special Early, etc. When establishing a tea garden, try to use cold-resistant varieties as much as possible. (2) Select Suitable Tea Garden Sites. Choose sites that are sheltered from wind and face the sun, with a thick layer of soil, acidic soil (pH value 4.5–6.5), and have irrigation facilities. The soil texture should be loam, sandy loam, or light clay loam. (3) Create Windbreak Forests. Plant windbreak forests around the tea gardens, along roads, by ditches, on steep slopes, at the tops of hills, and in front of prevailing winds. Common tree species include: Chinese Arborvitae, Juniperus chinensis,…

This year, due to widespread cold snaps and wintry weather, some tea gardens in the Huangshan District experienced low-temperature frost damage. To ensure that spring tea production is not affected, recently, Professor Li Yecloud of Tea Science from Anhui Agricultural University and experts from the South Anhui Comprehensive Experimental Station visited tea gardens in the Huangshan District to provide on-site guidance for spring tea production. With less than a month until the start of spring tea harvesting, it's a critical period for spring tea management. In the high mountain tea garden in Longyuan Village, Longmen Township, Huangshan District, Professor Li Yecloud of Tea Science from Anhui Agricultural University and his team are discussing the situation of spring tea production with local tea farmers and offering targeted advice. "The pruning was too severe; generally, we suggest leaving a base." After on-site observation, Professor Li found that some tea plants had been over-pruned, and some leaves were showing red-yellow discoloration. Professor Li Yecloud, School of Tea and Food Science & Technology, Anhui Agricultural University: After checking along the way, I feel that the tea gardens in the Huangshan District, due to relatively high management standards earlier, suffered only minor frost damage. Only…

Recently, affected by a strong cold air front, temperatures in Guangdong have dropped significantly, with some areas experiencing snow, ice, and freezing conditions, especially in the northern tea regions of Renhua, Lechang, and Lianshan, where "icicles" have appeared. To minimize the impact of low temperatures on tea production, reporters from Nongcun Nanfang Daily and the Southern Tea Channel contacted experts from the Guangdong Academy of Agricultural Sciences Tea Research Institute, the National Tea Industry Technology System Qingyuan Comprehensive Test Station, and the Guangdong Tea Industry Technology System to provide advice for tea farmers on how to implement effective frost protection measures for their tea plants, thus strengthening prevention and ensuring the safety of tea production. Impact of Frost Damage on Tea Plants After suffering from frost damage, tea plants may exhibit symptoms such as discolored and dried leaves, dead branches, and trunks. This can also delay the sprouting of spring tea, leading to reduced yield and quality, which affects economic benefits. Symptoms of frost damage in tea plants Care for Frost-Damaged Tea Plants 1. Care for Dormant Tea Plants Affected by Frost: For varieties with good cold resistance, timely drainage is needed to prevent repeated freeze-thaw cycles that can damage…

Recently, there has been a significant temperature drop in the tea-growing areas north of the Yangtze River, south of the Yangtze River, eastern parts of the southwestern region, and southern China. Some regions have experienced temperature drops exceeding 18°C. The province has seen the most extensive freezing weather since winter began, with minimum temperatures dropping below 0°C in all areas except parts of the Qiannan Buyi and Miao Autonomous Prefecture. Prolonged low temperatures, freezing conditions, and snowfall will cause varying degrees of damage to factories and seedling greenhouses in some tea-growing areas, adversely affecting young tea seedlings and mature tea plants, delaying harvesting times, and reducing tea production. Urgent action is needed to prevent and mitigate the impact of freezing weather. To cope with the cold snap and minimize freeze damage to tea gardens and facilities, based on technical guidance developed by the Department of Crop Management under the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, together with the National Agricultural Technology Extension Service Center, the Expert Advisory Group on Tea of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, and the Tea Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, and considering the actual situation in Guizhou, the following preventive…

Human metabolism is an unconscious, staged process that varies by age, gender, and body part and occurs constantly within the body. As one ages, certain parts of the body's metabolism may slow down, requiring external assistance to…

The tea regions of Guiyang City have been frequently impacted by extreme spring weather in recent years. According to meteorological forecasts, the city is expected to experience another cold wave soon. To cope with the upcoming temperature drops, thunderstorms, and late spring cold snaps, this document, "Preventive and Remedial Measures for Low-Temperature Freeze Damage (Late Spring Cold Snap) in Guiyang and Guian Tea Gardens," has been specially formulated for your reference. I. Preventive Measures (1) Pay Attention to Cold Wave Forecasts Strengthen forecasting and early warning systems for disastrous weather conditions, promptly issue cold wave information, and prepare in advance. After a cold wave forecast is released, tea gardens that are already open should mobilize manpower to harvest as much as possible to minimize losses from frost damage. (2) Cover Tea Gardens for Frost Protection Straw, bamboo leaves, and rice husks can be spread between rows of tea plants to keep them warm, ideally at a thickness of about 10 centimeters, which can generally increase temperatures by 1-2°C. In tea gardens on windward slopes prone to frost damage, cover the canopy with straw, weeds, or shade nets, not too tightly so that the tea plants are still visible. This will…

The golden autumn season sees lush tea mountains, as tea gardens enter the autumn harvest period. In the fragrant tea gardens, tea farmers are seizing good weather to pick tea leaves. As autumn gives way to winter, while busy with harvesting, it is also important to focus on winter management of tea gardens to help the tea trees comfortably "survive the winter." Due to the compounded effects of drought and the pandemic, winter management has started earlier this year, with higher technical requirements and more meticulous fertilization management. Local areas should conduct targeted pruning of tea tree canopies, fertilization management, and pest control based on the impact of drought in their respective tea gardens. They should also prepare the necessary materials for winter management. Good tea comes from good cultivation and good management. Winter management of tea gardens is a crucial technical measure for increasing the yield and quality of tea next year, reducing pest and weed damage to tea trees, and enhancing the overall efficiency of tea gardens. To implement scientific tea cultivation, one must understand the growth characteristics of tea trees. The cessation of sprouting in tea trees marks a key timepoint for winter management of tea gardens.…

Affecting a moderate-strength El Niño event and superimposed on the backdrop of global warming, the average global temperature in 2023 may break the record for the warmest year set in 2016. It is expected that most regions in China will have temperatures similar to or higher than the long-term average this winter through next spring, but with active cold air phases. Precipitation in southern regions will be above normal, increasing the risk of compound meteorological disasters. In response to complex climate changes, timely management of tea gardens during winter can help ensure their safe overwintering and lay the groundwork for high-quality and high-yield tea production and increased income for tea farmers in the coming year. So how can we properly manage tea gardens in winter?

After the cold wave, remove the canopy coverings promptly. During a cold wave, irrigation or spray irrigation can be used to mitigate cold and freeze damage. After temperatures return to normal, prune the frost-damaged tea garden. For mild frost damage, perform light pruning to remove…

Although tea trees have a certain ability to withstand adverse weather conditions during their growth and development, they can be harmed if the conditions exceed a certain limit. This can range from reduced yield and quality of the leaves to the death of the tree. So what are the effects of low temperatures on tea trees? I. Common types of frost damage in tea trees The common types of frost damage in tea trees include snow frost, frost, and dry cold wind frost. In tea-producing areas south of the Yangtze River, snow frost and frost are predominant, while all three types of frost occur in areas north of the river. After being affected by frost, tea trees typically exhibit red withering or green withering. In areas south of the Yangtze River, red withering is more common, while both forms occur in areas to the north. II. The sequence of frost damage development in tea trees Tea trees have a certain ability to resist low temperatures, but different organs have varying degrees of cold tolerance. Among leaves, stems, and roots, cold tolerance decreases in that order. However, under field cultivation conditions, leaves protect the stems, and the stems and leaves together…

During the spring warming period, cold air often invades, causing a significant drop in temperature. This weather, characterized by warmth before and cold after, is known as late spring cold. Late spring cold generally refers to prolonged periods of low temperatures and overcast rainy weather after the Vernal Equinox, specifically when the temperatures in late March or early April are lower than average. Depending on the timing, it can be further divided into "Vernal Equinox Cold" and "Qingming Cold." "Vernal Equinox Cold" occurs when the daily average temperature remains below 10°C for five days or more, with less than three hours of sunshine, from March 15 to March 27. "Qingming Cold" refers to low-temperature and rainy weather from March 28 to April 10. The Harm of Late Spring Cold to Tea Plants: In addition to variety, soil, fertilization, management, and processing skills, the production of high-quality tea also depends on climatic conditions. The relationship between tea production and temperature, sunlight, and rainfall is close. When the daily average temperature remains above 10°C for three consecutive days, tea buds begin to sprout and unfurl; once the temperature stabilizes above 10°C, the growth of buds and leaves accelerates, and new shoots emerge.…

Great tea is grown, but it is also well-managed. As the saying goes: "One-third planting, two-thirds management." After three seasons of growth and harvesting in spring, summer, and autumn, the tea plant has expended a great deal of nutrients, and the soil between rows becomes compacted. As winter approaches, proper garden management becomes particularly important for the quality and yield of next year's tea leaves. For this reason, the Tea Industry Development Working Group, in collaboration with Guizhou Broadcasting Station's Ecology & Rural Channel, has produced a teaching video on tea garden management during autumn and winter for reference and learning by tea companies and farmers. The video received strong support from the Guizhou Tea Research Institute and covers four parts: fertilization principles and recommendations, pruning techniques for tea plants, pest and disease control, and cold prevention measures. 1 Winter Fertilization According to the growth and development patterns of tea plants, as they enter autumn and winter, the above-ground parts will gradually stop growing and enter dormancy. However, the underground parts become increasingly active and enter the peak period of root activity throughout the year. At this time, the plant's root system significantly strengthens its absorption capacity and has a…
