One of the plantation products that is a mainstay export commodity and is considered quite strategic in supporting the Indonesian economy is tea. However, in recent years tea production has fluctuated, to keep Indonesia as the world's main tea producer, production problems and intensive efforts that support productivity need to be managed optimally. Tea quality is strongly influenced by environmental factors such as the presence of weeds. Assessment of the types of weeds in tea plants can be done by identification based on morphology. The purpose of this study was to identify weeds in tea plants (Camellia sinensis L.) in the Liki plantation unit at PT. Mitra Kerinci. This activity was carried out in July - August 2022 at PT.
