P.S. Sundar

Coonoor , April 27

SUMMER rains have brightened the prospects for the tea harvest in the Nilgiris during the `rush' May season.

It has been raining almost every day in April, with greater intensity in some tea-growing pockets.

These showers have improved the soil moisture and brought down the temperature to comfortable levels for tea cultivation. Kotagiri and Coonoor belts had received good showers for the most part of this month.

"The initial indications are that some 10 per cent increase in crop could be expected should this weather pattern continue," a tea scientist told Business Line.
