Year: 1973
Type: article
Abstract: 1. These studies were performed to find out the influences of the plucking time of the first crop and three different dispositions after each plucking upon the yield and quality. These dispositions are noninterference, trimming on 10 days after plucking of the first crop and plucking of late shoots.2. As to the plucking of the first crop, it was proved that about 60-65% of banjhi shoots to the total ones showed the most effective results on the yield and quality.3. The deterioration in the quality of the second crop was brought about by noninterference after the plucking of the first crop, owing to the uneven ripening of the new shoots of the second crop.4. In the year when the lower class tea was wanted in the market, the plucking of late shoots between the first and the second crop season brought about the advantageous results using tea var. "Yabukita", but not advantageous using "Sayamamidori".
