“…The additional application of calcium in the field cultivation of pepper plant had positive effects on the total yield (El-Tohamy et al, 2006). Calcium application even preharvest or postharvest significantly maintain fruit quality, delay deterioration rate and prolong storability of several crops (Basiouny and Basiouny, 2000). Occur of Ca at suitable level in plant tissues help to maintain quality of pepper fruits due to control of membrane permeability and slow the ripening process during storage (Poovaiah, 1986).…”

Two-year field experiments were conducted at the Agricultural Research Station, Faculty of Agriculture Alexandria University, during the two successive summer growing seasons of 2016 and 2017. The main aim was to study the influence of foliar application of calcium nitrate (CaNO3)2 at (0, 250, or 500 gl -1 ) and salicylic acid (SA) at (0, 0.25 or 0.5 gl -1 ) as well as their interactions on growth, yield and postharvest storability of Omega F1 hot pepper plants grown in clay loam soil. Harvested fruits were used for quality measurements at harvest and postharvest storability parameters after cold storage for 3 weeks at 6±1 ºC and 90±5% RH + 2 days shelf life. Results revealed that foliar application of 250 gl -1 (CaNO3)2 with 0.25 gl -1 or 0.5 gl -1 SA improved the vegetative growth characteristics (plant height, number of branches, leaves total chlorophyll contents and dry matter). Plants treated with 500 gl -1 (CaNO3)2 with 0.25 gl -1 SA gave the highest significant total yield 17.09 and 16.86 ton.fed -1 in 2016 and 2017, respectively. Moreover, all (CaNO3)2 and SA treatments markedly increased fruit quality at harvest and maintained their postharvest quality by decreasing fruit weight loss, shriveling and chilling injury as compared to the control treatment, in both seasons.

“…Supplementing secondary macro-elements (particularly Ca and Mg) and microelements, or applying other bioactive substances on the leaves is very effective. Numerous researches have monitored this aspect under different soil and climate conditions (Gerasopoulos et al, 1996;Basiouny and Basiouny, 2000;Gluhić et al, 2009;Koutinas et al, 2010;Šimanský and Ložek 2013).…”

Taking into account the ecobiology and the features of nutrition in grapevine, monitoring nutrition is a process with a very dynamic balance. Present research assessed the way in which supplementary foliar fertilization with calcium can have a positive impact on grape yield, both quantitatively and qualitatively. Were used three foliar fertilizers -Fertitel, Cropmax and Waterfert -alone or associated with calcium. As indicators of the nutrition state, were analyzed the leaf area and chlorophyll content and as yield elements were evaluated mean yield per vine, mean yield per ha, and dry matter content in grapes upon harvesting. The biological material consisted of the "Burgund" grapevine cultivar. According to the Anova statistical analysis, trial results point to high statistic ensurance (p<< 0.001, F calculated >> F theoretical for Alfa = 0.001). The variation of leaf area was strongly influenced by climatic factors compared with chlorophyll content variation which was heavily dependent on fertilizer. Yield per vine and yield per ha have recorded variations depending on climatic condition and fertilizer, but were more stable with calcium supplement. Based on the PCA analysis, trial data were arranged into two groups (G 1 with the variants V 2 , V 4 and V 6 , and G 2 with the variants V 3 , V 5 and V 7 ). The main factor generating variation between the two groups was the supplementary treatment with calcium associated to the group G 2 . Grouping trial variants based on Euclidean distances were highly safe, the value of the cophenetic coefficient being 0.940.

“…Calcium (Ca) is an important nutrient associated with fruit quality in kiwifruit. Considerable attention has been given to Ca application to kiwifruit since it was found to prolong storability (Basiouny and Basiouny, 2000). Greater Ca contents in fruit may maintain membrane permeability and slow the ripening process during storage (Poovaiah, 1979).…”

The effect of various commercial calcium (Ca) -containing products applied as preharvest foliar sprays on several fruit quality attributes and nutritional status of the kiwifruit cultivar Tsechelidis for a 2-year period is reported. Foliar application of all Ca products plus boron did not affect mean fruit weight compared with the control. During the first year, the highest flesh firmness was measured after application of the Ca-containing products Acid CaLMg and Calfruit plus Qualyfruit. During the second year, the highest flesh firmness was measured after application of the product Acid CaLMg. The highest ascorbic acid content and total antioxidant power were recorded after application of the product Chelan CaP. Foliar application of Power-Ca resulted in an increase of Ca concentration of leaves compared with the control for the first year. During the second year, all Ca-containing products increased Ca concentration of leaves compared with the control. Foliar application of Calfruit plus Qualyfruit, Chelan CaP, Power Ca, and Acid CaLMg resulted in an increase of Ca concentration of fruits compared with the control. The efficacy of the foliar sprays on some of the tested parameters varied from year to year indicating the influence of other parameters on vine nutrition.
