Efficiency of tea relies upon different ecological and natural factors regardless of the cultivar developed. The yield and soil administration rehearses received, changing climate conditions and bug and illness rates additionally decide the general harvest efficiency. It is fermented from the leaves of Camellia sinensis (family: Theaceae).

Extent of the misfortunes will undoubtedly be higher today in perspective of the expanded generation and profitability other than the varieties in climatic conditions. Bugs are not kidding vermin of tea and they harm the green tissues of leaves, along these lines decreasing the photosynthetic effectiveness bringing about yield lessening. Invasion prompts staining of clears out. The majority of the species possess the under surface of the leaves yet a couple of favor the upper surface moreover.
