Synthetic fertilizers alter tea quality

Picture copyright Qiao et al.

Actual practice of growing tea trees utilizes high amounts of synthetic nitrogen fertilizers. Qiao et al. evaluated the effects of those fertilizers on soil chemistry and the production and quality of tea shoots. They concluded that synthetic nitrogen fertilizers can acidify soils, unbalance their nutrient contents and strongly alter the quality of tea shoots.

  1. I’m impressed, I must say. Rarely do I come across a blog that’s both equally educative
    and entertaining, and without a doubt, you’ve hit the nail on the head.
    The issue is something that not enough folks are speaking intelligently
    about. Now i’m very happy that I stumbled across this
    in my hunt for something relating to this.
