e0“The glasshouse study examined the effects of various application methods of calcium (Ca) on the concentration of Ca, magnesium (Mg), potassium (K), phosphorus (P), boron (B), copper (Cu), iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), molybdenum (Mo), zinc (Zn), and Ca compounds in mature fruits of tomato plants (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill., cv. 21Shijibaofen)”
e3“The fraction of Ca pectate in the fruit significantly increased when increasing Ca concentration in nutrient solution and foliar and 1-week old fruit's application of Ca solution”

Other claims from this paper (7)
- Intervention effect Calcium application increased fruit calcium content in all Ca treatments except spraying Ca on the 3-week-old fruit.
- Intervention effect Ca application decreased K, Mg and P concentrations in tomato fruit.
- Intervention effect Ca application decreased B and Mn concentrations in tomato fruit.
- Intervention effect Foliar and 1-week-old fruit Ca solution application increased the fraction of Ca pectate in tomato fruit.
- Intervention effect Ca application increased vitamin C content in tomato fruit.
- Intervention effect Ca application decreased the percentage of titratable acidity in tomato fruit.
- Recommendation Spraying Ca solution on the leaves during anthesis and spraying Ca on young fruits are effective methods to increase Ca content and improve tomato fruit quality.
