Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Tea is one of the most popular beverages in the world. Tea consumption is steadily increasing due to its healthy effects, especially while the world faces the COVID-19 epidemic. Tea also plays a significant role in terms of employment and income for millions of poor farmers. With the consumption of high-quality tea, tea producers are facing enormous problems, such as climate change, lack of labor and the high cost of agricultural inputs, tea cultivation and management needs to address these challenges. At the same time, advanced technologies such as genomics, proteomics and metabonomics, new agri-input and machines and new management models, e.g., carbon-neutral tea production, are involved to achieve better quality, higher efficiency and more environmental friendly tea production.
In this research topic, we are focusing on the latest research in the cultivation and management of tea trees. We particularly welcome contributions that include, but not are limited to, the following topics:
- Tea plant physiology and biochemistry;
- Tea plant nutrition and fertilization;
- Soil physics, chemistry and biochemistry;
- Pests, diseases, weeds and their management;
- Climate change and its mitigation and adaption;
- Inter planting and other micro-climate management;
- Interaction of tea plant with the environment;
- Organic and low carbon tea production;
- Other field operations and management for tea cultivation.
