Farm Location: Alishan, Chiayi County, Taiwan
Altitude: Approx 1000-1500m above sea level
Problem: Declining production due to climate change and common disease Camellia dieback, which causes sudden yellowing and wilting of leaves, eventually leading to the entire branch drying and dying.
Total Farm Area: Approx 4.8 ha
Application area: Approx 20% of total farm area
Application Date: September 2018
Harvest Date: November 2018
After 1 week:
Above: Significantly more leaf buds appearing in the picture on the left (with Pro Bios) compared to right (without Pro Bios).
5 day before harvesting:
Above: Vigorous growth of leaf buds results in denser foliage of usable tea leaves in the picture on the left (with Pro Bios) compared to the right (without Pro Bios).
Summary:
Results after use of Pro Bios:
Significant increase in harvest per unit area by 30%
Increase in new leaf buds
Longer and thicker branches that promote healthy leaf growth
New leaves are thicker and of higher quality
Previous leaves grew bigger, supporting overall plant health
Leaves can withstand more heat in the production process, which results in higher-quality tea leaves with a richer aroma and the distinctive earthy flavour of the mountains that people love
