Plant water stress, caused by drought has major impact on plant growth and development. Growth of tea is also adversely affected by the plant water deficits created by lack of soil moisture (Smith, et al., 1994). Drought causes the losses to the tea industry. Planting of drought tolerant cultivars is the most efficient solution to maintain the productivity. Hence this study attempted to identify drought tolerant ability of TAI 5000 series accessions that can be grown in Uva region.enTea Technology and value AdditionAgricultureGeographyOther
