Effects of Rootstocks on the Components of Yield in Tea (Camellia SinensisL.)

Abstract
Summary Two vigorous, low-quality rootstocks increased the yield of a high-quality, low-yielding clone (SFS 204) by about 38%-42%, largely owing to an increase in the number of shoots produced by this clone. The yield of clone PC I, which normally produced more shoots than SFS 204, was increased by 25%-31%, again largely owing to an increase in shoot number. Rootstocks had relatively little effect on mean weight per shoot or on shoot growth rates.
