Tea is Bangladesh's second-highest agricultural export earner, and the nation rated 15th among all tea-exporting nations. To develop support tea business in Bangladesh, it crucial to comprehend current nutrient status of soils. The purpose study was examine inherent physical chemical characteristics soils relation effects soil depth, topography cultivation periods. results showed significant de...

Tea is an economically important crop. Evaluating the suitability of tea can better optimize regional layout industry and provide a scientific basis for planting plans, which also conducive to sustainable development in long run. Driving force analysis be carried out understand main influencing factors growth. The purpose this study was evaluate area, determine prioritization support government...

Soil genesis, physico-chemical properties and tea yield were investigated along different hillslope positions in the major tea cultivation area of Iran, i.e. Lahijan, Gilan Province. Land suitability was also determined for the tea production in this hilly region. Four different slope positions i.e., summit, shoulder, backslope and toeslope were sampled on three slope aspects following the prof...

Africa is one of the key centers of global tea production. Understanding the genetic diversity and relationships of cultivars of African tea is important for future targeted breeding efforts for new crop cultivars, specialty tea processing, and to guide germplasm conservation efforts. Despite the economic importance of tea in Africa, no research work has been done so far on its genetic diversit...

Positive plant-soil feedback depends on beneficial interactions between roots and microbes for nutrient acquisition; growth promotion; and disease suppression. Recent pyrosequencing approaches have provided insight into the rhizosphere bacterial communities in various cropping systems. However; there is a scarcity of information about the influence of root exudates on the composition of root-as...

Tea is grown in India in a wide amplitude of climatic variables, at latitudes from 8° 12' to 32° 13' N. Currently, an area of about 579,000 ha is under tea, the major tea growing states being Assam, West Bengal, Tamil Nadu and Kerala. Other states such as Bihar, Himachal Pradesh, Karnataka, Orissa, Tripura and Uttaranchal also grow tea in small areas. Tea plantations in India are traditionally ...
