Plant Physiology Division was established in 1980 which has been primarily concentrated on crop productivity. The division strives for excellence in applied research in tea productivity and bush health besides biotechnological studies. The research undertaken extends over a wide range of research programmes having collaborative links with different Universities, National Research Institutes both within the country and overseas. Track record of the division is presented hereunder.
Altering the metabolic activities by applying anti-transpirants to induce drought resistance in young and mature teas was given prime consideration besides certain nutrients to alleviate the soil moisture stress. It has been demonstrated that foliar application of urea nitrogen and muriate of potash during dry weather period impart drought tolerance both in young and mature tea without affecting carbon metabolism and dry matter compartmentalization. Besides foliar application of antitranspirants, physiological significance of irrigation/fertigation was documented
