Abstract:

To improve the production quality of matcha in tea gardens,the effects of interaction of shading height and shading rate on matcha chlorophyll content,quality components,tea garden environment,etc.were studied through a field experiment,10 treatments in total,including non-shading treatment (CK),shading heights (1.0,1.5,2.0 m)of main treatments and shading rates (40%,70%,100%)of subtreatments were set. Compared with the CK,the results showed that interaction of shading height and shading rate could improve the daily average temperature,daily maximum temperature,and daily minimum temperature of the surrounding environment of tea garden.Interaction of shading height and shading rate were beneficial to reducing illuminance on the surface of tea canopy,increasing the relative chlorophyll content (SPAD value)and significantly increasing the chlorophyll content.The interaction of shading height and shading rate significantly increased the content of water extract and ammonia,and significantly decreased the content of tea polyphenols,caffeine content,and phenol ammonia ratio in tea.Redundancy analysis of tea quality components and chlorophyll content with corresponding environmental factors showed that illuminance and minimum temperature were the main indicators that affected the quality components and chlorophyll content of tea.The interaction of a shading height of 1.5 m and a shading rate of 70% is conducive to the production of high-quality matcha.

Key words: Matcha, Shading height, Shading rate, Quality components, Environmental factors
