Other claims from this paper (7)
- Intervention effect Technical grade calcium chloride reduced senescent breakdown after storage.
- Intervention effect Technical grade calcium chloride occasionally reduced superficial scald after air storage.
- Intervention effect Other materials at equal soluble calcium concentration achieved benefits equal to technical grade calcium chloride.
- Association Treatments increasing fruit calcium usually reduced magnesium in outer cortex tissue.
- Intervention effect Calcium phosphate increased apple fruit phosphorus but not calcium concentration.
- Intervention effect Calcium phosphate did not increase fruit calcium concentration.
- Intervention effect The only fruit benefit accompanying calcium phosphate was reduced superficial scald.
