Other claims from this paper (5)
- Intervention effect Foliar NAA combined with CaCl2 increased calcium absorption in tomato plants and fruits.
- Intervention effect Higher CaCl2 (1%) with NAA (0.02%) increased plant growth and yield by improving mineral uptake.
- Association Improved calcium absorption was associated with lower occurrence of blossom end rot in tomato fruits.
- Observation Fruit quality declined with storage time.
- Intervention effect Fruits from treated plants kept their quality longer than fruits from control plants.
