Short-shoot cutting propagation of tea plants not only preserves the superior characteristics of the parent tree but also achieves rapid multiplication of tea seedlings, making it the optimal approach for the advancement of clonal varieties of tea, including albino tea. Technological Process for Propagation Propagation Plan: Determine the variety, quantity, and timing of propagation, prepare funds, materials, and labor accordingly. Cultivate Cuttings: Decide on the source of cuttings and arrange for their cultivation in advance. Nursery Preparation: Prepare the nursery and seedbeds in advance and equip them with necessary materials. Pruning and Propagating: Prune cuttings, propagate them, and manage the nursery concurrently. Nursery Management: Manage water, temperature, light, fertilization, pest and weed control, and branch control. Transplanting Seedlings: Prepare for water control in the nursery, packaging materials, and transplant seedlings according to standards. Propagation Cycle and Timing The propagation cycle for cutting propagation typically requires one year for the growth of healthy, qualified tea seedlings. However, with advancements in propagation and planting techniques, the cycle is trending towards shortening. Many self-breeders opt for transplanting small-sized seedlings in nearby areas with favorable ecological conditions. When using advanced facilities such as greenhouses, the seedlings often meet the required specifications without needing a…
