南京地区近年发展茶业常有茶苗死亡现象,有人提出是否与土壤性质有关,特别是黄土母质发育的土壤能否发展茶业?说者不一。南京地区的地带性自然土壤属于黄棕壤土类,亦即界于黄壤和棕壤之间的过渡性土类。茶叶是好酸性植物,在我国皖南、江西、浙江、福建、云南等地的黄壤和红壤等酸性土壤上生长很好,但它在北亚热带的黄棕壤上能否正常生长,以往尚少研究。为了回答这个问题,我们在南京和句容等地进行了短期调查,看到了黄棕壤上的新老茶园,老茶园的茶树一般都生长很好,新茶园的茶树则有好有坏。本文拟先介绍南京地区茶园土壤的类型和特性,而后就 Nanjing tea industry in recent years, the development of tea often die the phenomenon of death, it was proposed whether the nature of the soil, especially the development of loess parent material can develop the tea industry? The zonal natural soil in Nanjing belonged to the yellow-brown soil soil, that is, the transitional soil between yellow soil and brown soil. Tea is a good acid plant that grows well on acidic soils such as yellow soil and red soil in southern Anhui, Jiangxi, Zhejiang, Fujian and Yunnan provinces, but it can grow normally on the yellow-brown soil in the northern subtropics. . In order to answer this question, we conducted short-term surveys in Nanjing and Jurong, etc., and saw new and old tea gardens on the yellow brown soil. The tea trees in the old tea gardens generally grew well and the tea trees in the new tea gardens were good and bad. This article intends to introduce the types and characteristics of tea plantation soils in Nanjing and then
