Study on Cultivation Technology of High-quality Organic Tea

Organic tea refers to the tea products and reprocessed products that produce fresh leaf raw materials according to the organic agricultural production system and method in the production area without any pollution source, and are not polluted by any chemicals (synthetic fertilizer, pesticide, growth regulator, etc.) in the process of processing, packaging, storage and transportation, and reviewed and certified by the organic tea certification authority. But it's just tea green. The quality of organic tea stir-fried depends on the climate, altitude, craftsman's skills, and other factors, which are not quantifiable, and the cost is quite high. Organic tea is a kind of pollution-free healthy drink. It adapts to people's increasing health care awareness, has a great potential market, can obtain higher economic benefits, is conducive to tea export, and conforms to the basic national policy of national environmental protection. This paper will mainly focus on the current situation of organic tea planting, point out the planting elements of organic tea, and finally discuss the high-yield cultivation technology of high-quality organic tea. 1. Current situation of organic tea planting Organic tea is a kind of green, environmental protection tea, which conforms to the International Federation of Organic Agricultural Movements (IFOAM) standard. It is a kind of tea produced and processed based on the organic agricultural production method, without using any synthetic food additives, pesticides, fertilizers, etc. Organic tea is grown in the most natural state on the land not polluted by pesticides and chemical fertilizers. At the same time, synthetic compounds, chemical fertilizers, and transgenic technology are eliminated during the cultivation period, and no external chemical components are added during the processing of the assembly line. From the processing, production, packaging assembly line production are strictly abide by the specific organic principles. The organic certification of international standards needs to be reviewed annually by a third-party organization from cultivation, processing, production to tea sales. At present, China has established an organic tea production base of about 400 Hm2, with an annual organic tea production of about 500 tons. In China, green tea is the main organic tea, while a small amount of Oolong tea, black tea, etc. But at present, the amino acid content of green tea in China is generally only 2% 7%, the average content of flat tea in Inner Mongolia of Sichuan is 4.8%, the average content of other flat tea is 3.8%, and the "Emei organic tea" is as high as 24.8%. The content of "catechins" is as high as 11.89%. Tea polyphenols 33.5%, selenium 0.00015 ‰, zinc 0.065 ‰, iron 0.174 ‰. The kinds and contents of nutrient elements are significantly higher than those of other ordinary tea, and the price of organic tea is 1-2 times of the same kind of ordinary tea. The cultivation of organic tea needs higher quality cultivation techniques. 2.

The kinds and contents of nutrient elements are significantly higher than those of other ordinary tea, and the price of organic tea is 1-2 times of the same kind of ordinary tea. The cultivation of organic tea needs higher quality cultivation techniques.

High standard of land selection
The tea garden should be located in the area with fresh air and the atmospheric environment quality meeting the first level standard stipulated by the state. The tea field shall be separated from the polluted area and densely populated areas (towns, factories, main lines of traffic), and buffer belts or physical barriers shall be set up if necessary to ensure that the organic tea selection area will not be polluted.
The soil shall be free from pollution, with high fertility, deep soil layer, loose soil, good permeability, no water accumulation, balanced and rich nutrient elements, and the soil environmental quality shall meet the class I soil environmental quality standard specified by the state.

High standard garden construction
In the road traffic, the main road and secondary road should be set up, and the road should be connected to a network for the transportation of tea. In terms of drainage system treatment, isolation ditches shall be set horizontally at the junction of tea garden and mountain forest to isolate rainwater runoff, and both ends shall be connected with natural ditches.

Methods and means of cultivating improved varieties
In the selection of good varieties and strong seedlings, it is necessary to select good varieties of tea with strong resistance, adaptability and good quality. The planting time is generally from the end of January to the first ten days of March. At the same time, the planting density should be determined according to different factors in different regions; afforestation should be carried out on rainy days as far as possible, one hole for each tree.

The planting depth should be moderate, and the soil should not be too tight when the root-soil contacts. To avoid burning roots, the roots should be about 15cm away from the base fertilizer when the base fertilizer is applied. The soil height should be a little higher than the ground.

Soil fertilization management
In the aspect of soil management, the content of heavy metals and soil fertility should be tested regularly every two years, and the improvement measures should be further developed according to the data analysis. It can improve the soil structure and fairly prevent soil erosion. Using pollution-free materials to cover the ground can improve the soil's organic content and water storage capacity. To improve (an earthworm, for example) the soil by releasing beneficial microorganisms. Also, scientific fertilization should also be carried out to eliminate weeds manually. Only organic fertilizer, microorganism, mineral, and foliar fertilizer can be used in an organic tea garden. The amount of fertilizer is subject to the type of fertilizer. In addition to the application of fertilizer once a month for new tea seedling planting, fertilizer will be applied two or three times a year, respectively in May, August, and December. Reasonable irrigation (using local common irrigation water source for reasonable and scientific irrigation) and mining instead of cutting. To make tea trees continue to thrive, tea picking should replace traditional tea cutting. It is necessary to ensure the integrity of the fresh leaves of tea by hand, and do not bring the old branches and leaves and tea fruits. No pollution and unleaded gasoline must be used for mechanical tea picking. It is forbidden to use plastic bags and other packages to pack tea leaves. It is necessary to use clean baskets with good ventilation to pack fresh leaves, and the fresh leaves should not be too much, to avoid affecting the quality of fresh leaves.

Pest control
In the process of pest control, common agronomic measures and ecological control are used to coordinate. Agricultural control can be carried out in the following aspects: 1. Tea is collected in batches for many times, and the development of pests and diseases that threaten the health of buds and leaves such as leafhoppers and mites is eliminated and restrained. 2. Cut off the branches and leaves with pests and take them out of the tea garden for treatment to prevent the spread of pests and diseases. 3. Apply sufficient base fertilizer at the end of autumn, and conduct deep cultivation of tea garden at the same time. 4. To reduce the pests on the surface of the tea garden, the deciduous leaves and topsoil at the root of the tea tree should be deeply buried. 5. The tea garden should try its best to plant tea varieties that are less affected by local diseases and pests, to reduce the economic losses caused by human or natural conditions in the later stage. Biological control can be carried out in the following aspects: 1. It can be processed into pesticides by pathogenic microorganisms. 2. Protect natural enemies and avoid using pesticides harmful to beneficial insects. 3. When the natural enemies are insufficient, the release of natural enemies can be carried out manually to maintain the balance of the ecosystem, to achieve the goal of pollution-free management.

Conclusion and Prospect
Since ancient times, tea has played an important role in people's life. Drinking tea is a reflection of people's lifestyle. Through analysis, this paper finds that in today's rapid development of the market economy, the market potential of organic tea is huge.
However, organic tea planting is a new industry, and there is a lack of planting experience. To ensure the quality of organic tea production, especially to reduce the use of pesticides and chemical fertilizers, the application of organic fertilizers should be changed, and biological control should be used to prevent diseases and insect pests. At the same time, it is necessary to recycle the materials of tea trees, promote the measures of returning branches and leaves to the soil, and make the organic tea planting technology more economical and efficient.
The market potential of organic tea is huge, but because it is a new industry, there are still some technical defects. Therefore, practitioners should continue to develop high-end technology, strictly select sites, control the quality of fertilizer, soil, water, air, etc., cultivate tea scientifically, and improve the quality of tea, so that the organic tea market can continue to flourish.
