Detailed Solution

In tea plantation, leaves have commercial importance. To enhance the production of leaves in tea plants, growth of lateral buds needs to be promoted. Apical buds are source of auxins which inhibit the growth of lateral buds (apical dominance). Therefore, shoot tips (apical buds) are removed from tea plants (decapitation).
