The effects of fertilization on the green tea elements

Abstract

Camellia sinensis, which is widely used as a beverage in our country and in the world, has various beneficial effects on human health due to its various components. Farmers use chemical fertilizers to get more products. However, the use of more chemical manure may cause some problems in terms of environmental pollution and human health. Due to the lack of some nutritious minerals in the soil, various manure ingredients are used for better cultivation and growth. In this study, in order to investigate the effect of use of manurate on tea plant on 5 different soils in Rize, the concentrations of 18 elements in the leaves were analyzed using the ICP-MS device.  When manure was used in tea, the concentration of Li, Mg, K, Al, Ca, Cr, Mn, Fe, Cu, Zn, As, Se, Cd, Pb elements increased and Na, Co, Ni, Hg values decreased.
