| Abstract: |
A survey was conducted in dijferellt semi commercial tea gro·wing areas of /lam, Panclrthar,
Terhathum and Dhankuta districts in F. Y. 2001102 to get information about the existing tea
growing varieties, their cultivation practices and disease/pest incidence. The varieties
preferred by the farmers were Gumti Selection, Tukdalt-78 and Tukdafr-383 on priority basis.
The mixed cultivation of different varieties within same block was found dominant practice.
9.1% growers preferred to grow the cuttings in polythene sleeve where as rest in soil bed
nursery. The growers used to taking loan from Agriculture Development Bank for plantation,
are only test their soil before sanction. Most of the growers (84%) were found growing tea
without following recommendations. 70.0% growers were found planting the saplings just
after digging rather than digging the pits 2/3 months earlier. Tire average thickness, height
and number of leaves of saplings used at the time of planting varied greatly from 0.8 to 1.08
em, 30.48 to 55.77 em and 13 to 16 respectively. Majorities of the growers were found
planting without following recommended agronomical practices. Of the total growers of study
area, only 12.5% used to apply compost while 91.6%, 86.0% and 54.5% used urea, potash
and DAP fertilizer respectively after planting. The incidence of white grub and thrips were
found major problematic insect/pests and red rust followed by blister blight as problematic
diseases in the study areas. The study clearly demonstrated that there is an acute need of
developmellt of variety, nursel)' management and package of practices for successftd
cultivation of tea crops and its proper scaling up. |
