- Abstract:
-
Fujian province is famous for the tea industry. Recently, with the development of hilly tea plantation, large area of the mountains is being developed into tea plantations. The exploitation of tea plantations increased soil and water loss problem so seriously that lots of the fertile topsoil was eroded, reducing benefits of tea industry. In 2003, the area of soil and water loss in Fujian province is as high as 63 500 hm2. The ratio of water loss area is 22.73% in total area of hilly area exploitation. In total tea plantation area, the ratio of soil and water loss area is as high as 46.62%. On the basis of the investigations and trials in Anxi rural county which is famous for wolong, this paper did research on soil and water loss of hilly tea plantations, under the situations: new exploited tea plantations, different ages tea plantations, different farming methods and different parts of hilly tea plantation. The results show that soil erosion in hilly tea plantation is serious; soil erosion of three years tea plantation was significantly higher than five years tea plantation; tea planting along hilly slope can exacerbate soil erosion; the foot of hilly tea plantation is the most serious part which was eroded; the soil erosion of the middle part of the hilly tea plantation was the least. According to different situations of soil and water loss in hilly tea plantation, this paper gave different ecological treatments: covered tea plantation with grass or planting grass in row of tea plants; altering grass hoe with mowing; constructing the establishment of sluice and drainage. All these treatment can provide gist for soil and water loss control, which will provide practical experience for the development of tea plantation and promote the development of tea industry.
