New solution to save tea trees burned by drought

(Baonghean) - The severe drought that lasted for several months has greatly affected agricultural production; facing these difficulties, Anh Son Agricultural Extension Station has connected with the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development and the National Agricultural Extension Center to find some solutions to overcome the tea gardens burned by the drought in the area and has initially shown results (in the current situation, many households in Bai Phu tea area have destroyed tea gardens affected by drought).

First of all, tea growers need to know: Tea gardens with living roots and green leaves should not be destroyed, because the roots are still alive, if well cared for, the tea garden will grow normally again. Regarding solutions to care for and repair tea gardens, the following should be done: For tea gardens with 1/3 of the top dry (2/3 of the stem and green leaves are still green), use biotechnology to support: Use high-quality American foliar fertilizer (this biological product has just been imported to Vietnam, and is permitted by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development for use on all crops) ACEGROW and Calcium-XQ; Dosage: ACEGROW 35 ml; Calcium - XQ 16 ml; mix with 20 liters of water by shaking and stirring well before spraying.

Regarding the spraying process: leave the burnt tea garden as it is, spray the leaves that are still green; then spray again after 7-10 days. After spraying for about 30 days, cut and remove about 2cm below the green tea (which means cutting to rejuvenate the tea garden); after cutting and pruning for 2-3 days, spray high-quality foliar fertilizer at the same dosage as above and spray again after 7-10 days. Strictly follow the above instructions, the ability to restore the tea garden is very high. This is also a solution to overcome the effects of drought on sugarcane at this time.
