Abstract: It was shown that 200 mg/L potassium 2,3epoxypropionate sprayed on tea trees growing in hilly areas could obviously raise the photosynthetic rate,increase the dry matter accumulation of buds with one leaf, two leaves, and three leaves, and raise the main compos ition contents of water extract, amino acids, and polyphenols in tea leaves. Therefore, the yield and quality of tea produced in hilly areas were raised and improved by potassium 2,3epoxypropionate.
