摘要： The global tea (Camellia sinensis L.) output has been in decline despite the continued increases in global tea consumption amount and cultivation area. Application of potassium (K) fertilizer is a common way to enhance tea yield and quality, given the widespread deficiency of soil-available K in tea plantations. However, the specific effects of K fertilizer application upon tea yield and quality and its differential effects among varied K fertilizer application amount, soil-available K amount and tea types remain unknown. In this study, 518 pairwise com-parisons between tea productivity after non-application and application of K fertilizers were obtained through a literature review, and then analyzed. The results showed that K application had a significant positive effect on tea yield and overall quality, enhancing the amount of tea yield, the content of amino acid, tea polyphenol, water extract, and catechin by 7.83 %, 7.84 %, 26.79 %, 1.57 % and 6.47 %, respectively. Furthermore, a K application rate of 90-120 kg ha-1 maximized the tea yield and quality. However, K application showed varied effects on tea yield and quality in soils with different available K levels. In terms of tea types, the yield and quality of black and green tea were enhanced under K application. The results of a mixed-effects model indicated that the main factors affecting tea quality were the amount of K fertilizer applied and the soil-available K content, whereas the variation in tea yield results mainly from the tea types. Therefore, to develop high-quality tea plantations and address the contradiction between low tea yield and high tea consumption, efforts should be made to enhance the soil-available K content by optimizing the amount of K applied on tea plantations.
