Influence of region of production on clonal black tea chemical characteristics
(2008-05-01)
Production of black tea from the same vegetatively propagated (VP) cultivars, in Kenya and
Malawi, shows variations in both chemical composition and quality. Whereas it is possible to
produce black teas with similar ...
NPK (S) fertilizer use in commercially cultivated clone BBK 35 in different tea growing regions of Kenya: I. Experimental design and initial soil chemical properties.
(Tea Research Foundation of Kenya, 2008)
An experiment was set up in five sites by superimposing on commercially grown plantations consisting of one popular tea cultivar, clone BBK 35 at Timbilil estate, Kericho; Changoi Estate, lower Kericho; Magura-Kipkebe ...
NPK (S) fertilizer use in commercially cultivated clone BBK 35 in different tea growing regions of Kenya: II. Effects of nitrogen rates and plucking intervals on soil chemical …
(Tea Research Foundation of Kenya, 2008)
One commercially and widely grown tea cultivar, clone BBK 35 was evaluated for changes in soil chemical properties at different N-fertilizer rates and plucking rounds in five different localities in Kenya. The soils in all ...
Long term fertilizer use on high yielding clone S15/10: Tea yields
(International society of tea science, 2008)
High production of young tender shoots of Camellia sinensis L. O. Kuntze to make tea beverages leads to soil nutrients depletion through harvested crop and leaching. The production can be sustained by replenishing the lost ...
Productivity and nitrogen use of tea plantations in relation to age and genotype
(Elsevier, 2008-07-11)
Lack of science-based knowledge on responses of tea bushes to nitrogen (N) in ageing tea plantations hampers the development of ecologically sound and economically profitable N-management strategies. It is hypothesized ...
The role of Kenya Tea Development Agency Limited in the small-scale tea holder development in Kenya.
(International Society of Tea Science, 2008)
The Kenya Tea Development Authority (KTDA) was formed in 1964 to take over the functions of the Special Crops Development Authority (SCDA), which had been set in 1960 to promote tea growing by indigenous Kenyans (Africans). ...
