Yield performance of TRFK [Tea Research Foundation of Kenya] new released clones from the breeding programme
1989
Njuguna, C.K. (Tea Research Foundation of Kenya, Kericho)
After improving vegetative propagation techniques in tea in the early 1960s, many selections of mature seedlings in the field and young ones in the nursery were done between 1962 and 1967. No further selection was done on seedlings but selection schemes were to continue on the best clones. In 1988 the clones established between 1975 and 1979 had been pruned twice and clonal yields assessed. Leaf samples of high yielding clones were tested and those with better cup quality released to the tea industry. This paper presents a discussion on how the clones have been established and later released by the tea research foundation
