Abstract
Essential elements are needed in the day to day living of both human beings and the plants including tea ( Camellia sinensis ). Different clones of tea have been developed and distributed to farmers in various locations however it remains obscure the levels of the essential elements in their resultant black teas. This study aimed at establishing the micronutrient levels of different clones planted in a single site and also establish whether the levels of the micronutrients varied in the same pattern when planted in different regions. It was found that the different clones varied significantly (p≤0.05) in their micronutrient levels when planted in a single location under similar agronomic practices and this did not follow a similar pattern when the clones were planted in different locations. Thus there is need to identify region specific clones in order to optimize the micronutrient content of resultant black teas.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Tea Science was established in August 1964, approved by the Publicity Department, CCCPC. Its title was inscribed by Zhu De, the chairman of CCCPC. It was discontinued during the Cultural Revolution in 1966, and it was reissued in August 1984, approved by the State Scientific and Technological Commission.Academicians Chen Zongmao and Liu Zhonghuaof the Chinese Academy of Engineering served as the directors of the editorial board. The Journal of Tea Science is managed by the China Association for Science and Technology,sponsored by the China Tea Science Society and the Tea Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, and edited and published by the editorial office of the Journal of Tea Science. It is the only one of Chinese core journals in the field of tea science that is included in the core library of the Chinese Science Citation Database.Its Domestic Unified Serial Number is CN 33-1115/S, its International Standard Serial Number is ISSN 1000-369X and its International publication name code is CODEN-CHKEF4. At present, the Journal of Tea Science is a bimonthly publication, published in the middle of the month, with a book size of 16.
