Other claims from this paper (6)
- Intervention effect Foliar calcium fertilizer significantly increased dry matter accumulation in tomato.
- Intervention effect Foliar calcium fertilizer significantly increased tomato fruit quality and yield.
- Intervention effect Calcium application promoted calcium uptake by tomato plants.
- Intervention effect Calcium application significantly decreased calcium distribution proportion in tomato stems and leaves.
- Observation Calcium distribution in tomato was ranked leaf above stem above root above fruit.
- Recommendation The authors conclude that foliar 3–6 g·L−1 CaCl2 improves tomato yield and quality through calcium distribution and dry matter accumulation.
