what climatic conditions are required for tea cultivation
Answers
Tea cultivation thrives best under a moderate hot and humid climate. Suitable climate influences yield, crop distribution and quality. It grows best on well-drained fertile acid soil on high lands.
Rainfall is one of the important factors for tea cultivation. However, the distribution of rainfall plays a vital role for sustained high yield of tea throughout the season than the quantum of rainfall. Excessive rainfall leads to drainage problems. Thus, adequate rainfall during winter and early spring is crucial for high yield.
Temperature also affects tea yield by influencing the rate of photosynthesis and controlling growth and dormancy. Flushing commences from March with the rise in temperature. Winter dormancy however is the result of interaction of short day length and low temperature. Low temperature causes slower growth and low yield in the hill district of Darjeeling in comparison to the plains of Dooars and Assam. A humid climate and high RH favours growth of tea.
