Dynamics of photosynthesis intensity in some forms of leaves of tea plants

The work is devoted to studying of activity of photosynthesis in the selected forms of leaves of sorts of tea Kimuni and Colchis during the vegetative period. The researches established, that intensity of photosynthesis of all forms is high in June, and then its decrease begins. Intensity of photosynthesis is high in anthocyan forms, especially, in September, and that is explained by biological features of tea plant. In light green leaves the intensity is lowered in all forms of tea, and in dark green leaves sharply expressed peak is shown in August. Thus, the knowledge of intensity of photosynthesis will give to a selector a chance to allocate highly productive forms of a tea bush.
