Other claims from this paper (7)
- Intervention effect Fruit calcium increased with increasing calcium in the nutrient solution, reaching a maximum of 0.17 dag kg‐1 at 19.79 mmol L‐1.
- Intervention effect Magnesium and potassium levels in the fruit decreased with increasing calcium in the nutrient solution.
- Mechanism The decrease in magnesium and potassium levels is explained by a competitive effect of calcium at absorption and transport sites.
- Intervention effect Total lycopene and carotene levels decreased with increasing calcium in the nutrient solution, with a minimum of 21.50 μg g‐1.
- Mechanism Lycopene and carotene decrease is possibly due to reduced potassium absorption.
- Intervention effect Plants treated with 0.2 mmol L‐1 calcium died without reaching fructification.
- Intervention effect At 2.5 mmol L‐1 calcium, seeds were small, malformed and black.
