Abstract
SUMMARY: Bush area, shoot number and yield were all strongly and positively correlated in 100 young seedling tea bushes. Clones derived from the bushes exhibited characteristics which were correlated with those of the mother bushes, indicating the usefulness of these observations in the selection of clones for improved performance.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
