Title
RESPONSE OF PLANT GROWTH TO LOW CALCIUM CONCENTRATION IN THE NUTRIENT SOLUTION

Other claims from this paper (4)
- Intervention effect Fourteen days of low calcium did not affect dry matter content, leaf area, leaf dry matter or specific leaf area.
- Intervention effect Calcium concentrations in young leaves, stems and roots fell after one day of low calcium.
- Intervention effect After 14 days, calcium concentration in all plant organs was about 70% lower than controls.
- Recommendation The authors concluded that calcium supply can be greatly reduced without harming growth.
