Influence of Pruning Times on the Production of Tea (Camellia sinensis L.) in Darjeeling Hill
- R. Kumar; Mahipal Singh; B. Bera
- The experiment was conducted at Experimental Farm, Darjeeling Tea Research and Development Centre, Kurseong during 2008-12 with the objectives to find out the most suitable time for pruning of tea to get higher production of Darjeeling tea cultivation. Old china tea bushes were Light pruned (LP) manually in the 3rdweek of each month i.e. September, 2008; October, 2008; November, 2008; December, 2008; January, 2009 and February, 2009. The 1stplucking on 10th Jun, 2009 while the first plucking in the tea bushes pruned during January and February, 2009 was obtained on 3rd July, 2009 with 22 days delay as compared to September, October, November and December pruning during the 1st year of 5 year pruning cycle (LP-LOS-LS-MS-LS). The highest annual mean yield of green leaf was 2980.0 kg ha-1 recorded in the pruning time of December and lowest 2281.6 Kg ha-1in September than other pruning time. Pruning in December gave 698.2 Kg ha-1(23.43 %) and 506.40 kg ha-1(16.99 %) more fresh green tea leaves production per hectare as compared to September and October pruning, respectively. It was found that the tea bushes pruned on December, 2008 recorded significantly the highest number of Leaf area index (2.94 m-2), root Starch ( 17.46 %), No of shoots (363 m-2) and processed tea yield (655.6kg ha-1) followed by January, 2009 pruning regarding these parameters, while the pruning on September, 2008 produced the minimum number of shoots (273 m-2), leaf area index (2.15 m-2), fresh green tea leaves yield ( 2281.8 kg ha-1) and processed tea (501.99 kg ha-1). A gradual decline was observed in leaf area index; active shoots, number of plucking round and green leaves production in plots pruned before December. Maximum shoot population density and leaf area index were associated with higher tea production. On the basis of these findings, it can be concluded that the pruning activities of tea during December (Light Pruned) and January (Skiffed) gave the highest production of green tea leaves under the climatic conditions of Darjeeling hill.
