urea in small holes near the tea trees once in May of the next year. According to the protective cultivation method of the
tea garden, contents of
organic matter, soil alkali-hydrolyzable
nitrogen, available
phosphorus and available
potassium in top soil are improved fast after three months, soil acidity is adjusted, soil environment is improved, the
water content of soil is greatly improved, water and
soil loss is reduced, tea quality is improved, the
soil structure in the tea garden is changed, the fresh leaf
yield ratio is increased by 11.3-15.6% comparatively, income is increased, and protective cultivation and
