Foliar Application of Salicylic Acid and Calcium Chloride Enhances Growth and Productivity of Lettuce (Lactuca sativa)

Effect of Pre-harvest Calcium Chloride and Salicylic Acid Spray on Morphological and Biochemical Traits of Guava (Psidium guajava)

“…The increase of nitrogen and phosphorous were nonsignificant with the application of calcium chloride as compared to control (Kaushik et al, 2020b(Kaushik et al, , 2020a. The results are also agreeing with the findings of Youssef et al, (2017).…”

Effect of Calcium and Boron on Growth, Fruit Setting and Yield of Hot Pepper (Capsicum annuum L.)

“…Furthermore, Buczkowska et al (2016) found that, spraying pepper plant with calcium gave a positive effect on chlorophyll content, increased vitamin C and carotenoids concentrations. As well, foliar application with 20 mM CaCl 2 significantly increased photosynthetic pigments (chlorophyll a, b, and total chlorophylls), concentrations of some macro-and micro-nutrients, leaf relative water content (LRWC) and leaf membrane stability index (LMSI) compared with the control plants in both growing seasons (Youssef et al, 2017).…”

“…Moreover, Buczkowska et al (2016) found that increment of the total fruits yield of pepper plant under foliar Ca +2 application was 2.8% -8.6%, but that of the marketable yield was between 12.1% and 21.8% as compared with the total yield (4.99 kg m -2 ) and the marketable yield (3.80 kg m -2 ) which resulted from the check plants. Also, foliar application with 20 mM CaCl 2 significantly increased the vegetative growth characteristics of lettuce i. e. plant length, average leaf area, number of leaves/head, head diameter, fresh and dry weights of head (Youssef et al, 2017). As well, Zamban et al (2018) indicated that foliar spraying with the biweekly application 0.6% CaCl 2 is the best supply for increase fruits fresh weight, total number of fruits, the commercial fruits yield and gave a lower number of fruits with an incidence of blossom end rot of Italian tomato hybrids.…”

Ameliorative effect of foliar application of calcium on vegetative growth and mineral contents of olive trees Kalmata and Manzanillo cultivars irrigated with saline water

“…Also, Hagagg et al 2019 indicated that foliar application of calcium carbonate at 7% on mid-December on 15-year-old Kalamata and Manzanillo olive trees increased vegetative growth, leaf pigments, and mineral content. In this respect, Youssef et al 2017 reported that foliar application of calcium chloride at 20 mM on lettuce significantly increased vegetative growth parameters (plant length, head diameter, fresh and dry weights of head, number of leaves/head, average leaf area, and leaf area index), chlorophyll (a, b, and total), leaf relative water content, leaf membrane stability index, and macro-and micronutrients. The beneficial effect of calcium in increasing growth might be due to the higher availability of photosynthesis, and these chemicals are also associated with hormone metabolism which promotes synthesis of auxin, essential for growth (Kazemi, 2014).…”
