Lao Fang, has all the snow on the mountain melted? How are the 'golden sprouts' growing in the tea garden? If the symptoms of freezing are obvious, it is necessary to fertilize and supplement the nutrients of the tree in a timely manner

Early this morning (24th), Fang Gulong, the person in charge of Nanshan Tea Plantation in Fenghua, received a text message from Wang Lizhong, a senior agronomist at Fenghua District Agricultural Technology Service Station. Through text messages, this' old friend 'reminded him to pay attention to weather changes, and to do well in fertilization, soil cultivation, warming and other spring tea warming work.

The total area of tea gardens managed by Fanggulong is nearly 1000 acres, including about 180 acres of tea trees of special early growth and early growth varieties.

Recently, cold air has been frequently visiting, and last Saturday night there was heavy snowfall on the mountain, which has had a certain impact on the growth of tea trees. "He pointed to a tea tree on the mountaintop and said," You see, some early buds are curled up due to the cold. Next, we need to take precautions in advance

What Fang Gulong is concerned about is also what Wang Li is concerned about.

Since last week, this agricultural technology expert in the field of tea cultivation has been visiting tea gardens in the mountainous areas of Fenghua to inspect the growth of tea leaves, helping tea farmers scientifically cope with low temperature and cold wave weather, and providing "escort" for the local spring tea harvest.

At present, the total area of tea gardens in Fenghua District is about 21500 acres, mainly distributed in Shangtian, Dayan, Xiwu, Qiucun, Song'ao and other places, among which the area of high mountain tea gardens exceeds 12000 acres.

To ensure the production of spring tea, agricultural technicians in our district recently visited tea farms in Shanchuan, Anyan, Nanshan and other areas, insisting on implementing classified policies and effectively responding, and helping tea farmers to do a good job in preventing cold and freezing, "said the person in charge of the Agriculture and Rural Bureau of Fenghua District.

The tea planting base of Panlong Tea Plantation is located in Qiucun Town. Recently, the new shoots of the early growing tea trees in this base have quietly emerged, full of vitality.

Our biggest concern is the impact of low temperature weather, especially the 'late spring cold', on tea trees, "said Wu Zhikang, the person in charge of the tea plantation. Since last week, agricultural technology experts such as Wang Lizhong have been guiding tea farmers to do a good job in spring tea management, insulation, and antifreeze, giving everyone a" reassurance pill ".

In addition to Fenghua, agricultural technology experts from other major tea producing areas in our city have also been actively taking action to provide a "good remedy" for spring tea to keep warm.

It is reported that the total tea planting area in our city this year is about 210000 acres. Due to the continuous low temperature weather, the effective accumulated temperature for tea tree growth is insufficient, and the picking time for real estate spring tea will be slightly delayed compared to previous years.

Currently, tea farmers need to pay attention to weather changes, prepare contingency plans for catastrophic climate change, monitor tea germination, predict picking times, and monitor relevant market trends and developments, "reminded the person in charge of Ningbo Agricultural Technology Promotion Station.
