“…Ca is used to control soil pH, help the formation of soil aggregates, and function as the main ion in the soil cation exchange complex (Sturião et al, 2020;Atkinson, 2014). Gas chromatographymass spectrometry produces excess Ca so that the primary metabolism in the roots becomes more active, thereby stimulating the activity of the secondary meristem "Cambium" (Bauer et al, 2011).…”

“…The deficiencies and advantages of Ca in plants can be viewed from various responses to the growth, development and yield of plants, which were previously preceded by biochemical, physiological, anatomical, and morphological responses. According to Riveras et al (2015), one of the impacts of Ca deficiency is the failure of the formation of new shoots and disruption of the development of apical cells at the root end so that the distribution of nutrients through xylem in root can be disrupted (Sturião et al, 2020;Atkinson, 2014;Du et al, 2017). Therefore, efforts to increase the content of soil Ca is one way that can be done.…”

Cocoa plant (Theobroma cacao L.) is one of good annual crops grown in Indonesia. The disadvantages and advantages of Ca in plants can affect morphology and anatomy in plants. This research aimed to identify the effect of Ca on the anatomical performance of the roots of cocoa plants and determine the optimal dose of Ca for the anatomical characteristics of the roots of cocoa plant. The research was conducted at the cocoa plantation owned by PT. Pagilaran at North Segayung Production Unit, Tulis Subdistrict, Batang Regency, Central Java, in October 2019 – February 2021. The observation of root anatomy was carried out by making preparations, and the plant roots were taken destructively and sliced transversely. The field experiment was arranged using a single factor randomized complete block design. The treatments consisted of without fertilizer application and calcium fertilization at a dose of 100 g/tree/year, 200 g/tree/year, 300 g/tree/year, and 400 g/tree/year. The cocoa clone used was clone RCC 71. The results showed that an increase in the dose of CaCl2 fertilizer up to 400 g/tree/year was generally followed by an increase in the size of the xylem and phloem diameters, the thickness of the cork layer, the thickness of secondary cortex, and the diameter of the stele. The quadratic effect of the dose of CaCl2 fertilizer was observed only on the thickness of the root cambium tissues. Thus, it is necessary to conduct further research to determine the optimal dose of Ca fertilizer for the anatomical characteristics of cocoa roots.

“…Roots damaged by Ca limitation are susceptible to fungal and bacterial infection [ 58 ]. Necrotic islands and spots in the leaf lamina are associated with peculiarities of Ca 2+ transport in the plant [ 59 ]. The evidence of symptoms in young tissues and meristematic zones of roots, stems, and leaves is explained by the fact that cell division is affected by Ca deficiency, and in these tissues, the mitotic index is normally high.…”

In tomato, foliar application of calcium-based nutrient solutions is used to complement soil fertilization. However, knowledge regarding the factors that influence the effectiveness of foliar fertilizer applications remains incomplete. The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficiency of foliar fertilization with calcium for improving production and quality of hydroponic Sweet Grape tomatoes. An experiment was conducted in a commercial hydroponic system in a splitsplit-plot scheme, with two calcium doses: 1,5 and 3 mmol L -1 of Ca. The solutions were sprayed on the leaves at intervals of 7 and 14 days, using commercial foliar fertilizers containing 0.3 g L -1 of calcium chloride or calcium acetate. The results indicate that the foliar application of calcium fertilizers, regardless of the amount of calcium provided in the nutrient solution and the frequency of applications, positively affects fruit production and quality. No difference was found between the effects of application of the two calcium sources, as well as the frequency of application.
