Tea is grown on a variety of land with various topographical, textural and structural characteristics. Tea, being a perennial plantation crop, needs to be cultivated under suitable climatic and edafic conditions, but the Bangladesh tea is grown under marginal land and climatic conditions such as, low elevation, poor relief (topography), the presence of impervious sub-soil layer (Hardpan), and low nutrient status, etc. Under such conditions, a careful consideration is to be made through a well planned soil survey and profile study prior to selecting a new site for plantation. Following methods are adopted:
Ø Nature of vegetation
Ø Nature of relief (topography) of land.
Ø Study of soil profile.
