Variations of calcium, manganese, zinc, copper and iron contents in green tea leaves due to weather conditions were studied for three cropping seasons with a view to provide information on nutritional requirements to boost productivity. The concentrations of these micronutrients were related to the uptake capability of tea plants as affected by different weather parameters. High temperature and high atmospheric evaporative demand assisted calcium uptake whereas high humidity and high rainfall reduced it. Low temperature and high humidity reduced manganese uptake. High weekly evaporation, weekly relative humidity and accumulated rainfall depressed the uptake of zinc, copper and iron in green tea shoots.
