Abstract

 The general understanding of pruning in the various branches of Agriculture and its role in Tea growing for commercial purposes are reviewed. The objectives of pruning vary from crop to crop. Tea is basically a tree growing to a height of 20 to 30 feet and the periodical correction of its height by cutting branches to a specified intensity is indispensable to maintain the height of plucking table for efficient crop removal for economically viable and sustainable productivity.

Keywords Pruning, Objectives and Practices.
