e5“The fruits of Ca deficient tomato were not only malformed but quality also deteriorated”
e6“The volume, colour, fresh and dry weight, pulp weight, lycopene and water contents, titrat-able acidity, ascorbic acid and activities of ATPase, invertase and α-amylase of fruits decreased considerably along with an accumulation of sugars, starch and phenols”
