Careful with applying chemical

When you apply chemical to the tea fields, carefull to follow the recommendations issued by the producer and/or relevant authoriety. Residues will be there if you don't allow the Post Harvest Interval (PHI) before next plucking. Never spray herbicides to tea canopy.

Maximum Residue Levels (MRL) will be exceeded when mal-practiced, ultimately your tea will be rejected in the world market.
