The Effect of Cultural Operations on the Composition of the Xylem Sap of Tea Plants Recovering from Pruning

G. R. ROBERTS, U. L. L. DE SILVA1 and D. T. WETTASINGHE

Tea Research Institute of Sri Lanka Talawakele, Sri Lanka

Received: 29 July 1975   

Complete removal of foliage-bearing branches from tea plants recovering from pruning at low altitudes has been observed to result in a scorching of the newly-developing buds and shoots. Studies on the xylem sap composition have revealed that there is a very sharp increase in the amino-N content of the sap. The relationship between the sap composition and the physiology of the plant is discussed.
