Actual State of Residue Accumulated by Skiffing and Pruning in Space between Hedges of Tea Field and the Effect of It on Behavior of Applied Fertilizer Nitrogen in Soil

Abstract

A large quantity of pruned shoots had accumulated in space between hedges by light trimming of canopy after second crop every year, and it was feared that its state influenced the environment of space between hedges. So twenty tea fields in Shiga prefecture were examined in order to investigate actual state of residue accumulated by skiffing and pruning in space
