Title
Calcium concentration in tomato fruits in relation to the incidence of blossom-end rot
CR Millikan; EN Bjarnason; RK Osborn; et al. Australian Journal of Experimental Agriculture and Animal Husbandry 1971. doi:10.1071/ea9710570
Other claims from this paper (6)
- Intervention effect Normal-calcium nutrient solution gave a greater fruit yield than low calcium in sand-cultured tomato.
- Intervention effect Fewer tomato fruit were affected by blossom-end rot with normal than with low calcium.
- Observation Calcium concentration was higher in the stem end than the calyx end of tomato fruit regardless of treatment or BER.
- Association Within the same trusses, BER-affected fruit had lower stem-end calcium concentration than healthy fruit.
- Association The K:Ca ratio was higher in BER-affected tomato fruit.
- Association The stem end : calyx end concentration ratio of calcium and magnesium was lower in affected than healthy fruit.
