Thidiazuron, as a plant growth regulator, primarily enhances tea yield by improving photosynthesis, increasing fruit set, and extending the harvest period. However, its proper use is crucial.
Specific Mechanism of Action:Thidiazuron regulates endogenous hormone levels in plants, promoting chlorophyll synthesis and inhibiting ethylene production, thereby extending the functional period of tea leaves. During the tea plant's growth cycle, it slows leaf senescence, enhances photosynthetic efficiency, and accumulates more nutrients for the tea leaves.
Practical Application Recommendations for Thidiazuron:
Follicular Fertilization:During the tea plant's growth period, it can be applied in conjunction with potassium dihydrogen phosphate and amino acid foliar fertilizers to enhance leaf nutrient absorption.
Compound Use: Combining thiazolinone with other growth regulators can enhance the growth-promoting effect, but concentration control is essential to avoid phytotoxicity.
Avoid Sensitive Periods:Use should be suspended during the tea plant's flowering period or in hot weather to ensure safety.
