dc.description.abstractClimate change is evident in almost all the regions in the world. In agriculture, it poses a significant impact in relation to productivity, quality and sustainability. Carbon sequestration is an adaptation strategy to climate change. Organic agriculture has a greater potential to sequester carbon in biomass and soil than most forms of conventional agriculture (Fan et al, 2005). Information on Carbon storage by tea plantations can fill the gap for comparison with native forests and changes in agricultural land use (Kamau et ed., 2008). However, the scientific validations to carbon storage in tea either in conventional and organic systems are scares. Therefore, it was identified important to generate information on dry matter partitioning of the tea bush and to compare the organic carbon content as dry matter partitioning of each part of the tea bush grown conventionally and organically to establish carbon sequestration potentials of organically grown tea as compared to conventionally grown teaen_US
