Tea Nursery Management with Biofertilizers, Biofungicides & Biopesticides
Share
Healthy tea plantations begin with strong and disease-free nursery plants. During the nursery stage, seedlings are highly susceptible to damping-off, root rot, nutrient deficiencies, and insect attacks. Weak seedlings often establish poorly in the field, resulting in slow growth and reduced productivity.
Using biofertilizers, biofungicides, and biopesticides during nursery production improves root development, nutrient uptake, plant vigor, and disease resistance. Beneficial microorganisms establish around the root zone, producing healthier seedlings with higher transplant survival and better field performance.
