Background

China is the largest tea production country in the world

(Area 2.8 M ha, 63%; 517 M ton, 42%)

Background

Beside N, K is also crucial in tea plantation

  • K increase fresh yield
  • Favors the accumulation of free amino acid and polyphenols
  • Tolerance of drought, frost and other stress (insects, fungal etc.)

Background

  • Low CEC, acidic properties of soil plantation soil
  • Exch.K ranged 15.3~1031 mg/kg, ~75% less than 100

mg/kg

  • Exch.Mg ranged 10~80 mg/kg,~62% less than 45 mg/kg

>80% of tea gardens in Yunnan, Jiangxi and Fujian in Mg deficiency (<45 mg/kg)

K and Mg supply is crucial for sustainable of tea production

Background

Polyhalite application in tea plantation

  • Natural mineral
  • Four elements in one fertilizer (K, Mg, Ca, S)
  • Labor-cost saving (less separated fertilization)
  • Slow-release (lower solubility)
  • Without Cl toxicity
  • Mitigate soil acidification (Ca)
  • Surplus Ca addition (affect Mg uptake)
  • Ca>500 mg kg-1 reduce quality
  • Ca>2000 mg kg-1 harm the growth
  • Ca>5000 mg kg-1 seriously inhibit the growth

Objectives

  • 1. The K and Mg release of Polyhalite in tea

plantation soil

  • 2. The yield and quality effect of Polyhalite in

green tea

Questions

  • 1. Does polyhalite has the slow-release nutrients in tea

plantation soil?

  • 2. Is there any advantage of Polyhalite on tea

fertilization, compared with normal compound NPK?

  • 3. Does addition of Ca by polyhalite have adverse

effect on tea yield and quality?

Conlusion

 Slow nutrient release of K, Mg and Ca in tea plantation soil  Polyhalite has potential in nutrient leaching reduction  Polyhalite slightly increased young shoot biomass  Polyhalite addition increased the amino acid content and reduce PP:AA in spring tea  Ca addition by polyhalite did not show adverse effect on autumn tea quality
