Other claims from this paper (5)
- Intervention effect pH 4.5 promoted above- and below-ground part growth and root biomass of tea plants compared with other acid stress levels.
- Intervention effect pH 4.5 promoted the number of 2nd and 3rd lateral roots, root length and surface area of tea plants compared with other acid stress levels.
- Intervention effect pH 4.5 promoted average root diameter, chlorophyll content and root activity of tea plants compared with other acid stress levels.
- Intervention effect pH 4.5 minimized oxidative damage (malondialdehyde levels) in tea plants compared with other acid stress levels.
- Recommendation The authors recommend pH 4.5 as the optimal soil condition for tea cultivation.
