David J. Frost; Dale W. Kretchman Journal of the American Society for Horticultural Science 1989. doi:10.21273/jashs.114.4.552
Other claims from this paper (9)
- Intervention effect Low calcium caused lesions on distal fruit epidermis and pericarp.
- Intervention effect Some calcium-stressed fruit developed placental disruption and an air pocket.
- Intervention effect Fruit fresh weight at 40 mg Ca/liter was lower than the control during weeks 4 to 7.
- Association Fruit pericarp calcium content decreased with greater calcium stress.
- Observation The distal section had the lowest calcium content across treatments.
- Intervention effect Only 70% of seeds from 40 mg Ca/liter germinated, versus almost all control seeds.
- Intervention effect Drying calcium-stressed seed reduced viability compared with undried seed.
- Intervention effect Drying significantly increased vigor of control seeds.
- Intervention effect The 40 mg Ca/liter treatment produced more abnormal seedlings than the control.
