Pepper is an extremely important vegetable worldwide in socio-economic terms. However, persistent land use, monoculture, and intensified production processes have led to soil diseases. This, along with abiotic stress, and mainly salinity of soil and waters, water stress, and suboptimal temperatures, can lead to physiological disorders emerging in peppers, e.g., cracking and Blossom end rot, which induce plant senescence, and lower not only in yields, but also in product quality. Salinity and water shortage are the two main environmental problems that crops face in the Mediterranean Region. One way of overcoming stresses from an ecological or integrated crop management viewpoint is to use grafted plants as an adaptation strategy. Initially, grafting technology has expanded in Solanaceae and Cucurbitacea species to overcome biotic stress. Nowadays, grafts are being used as several approaches to cushion the impact of climate change on agricultural systems. Furthermore, grafts allow desirable varieties by organoleptic or productivity traits, but they are sensitive to abiotic stress and can be grown under abiotic stress. As far as we know, very few studies on grafted pepper plants under abiotic stress are available.

“…Blossom-end rot (BER) has generally been reported as a calcium (Ca)-related physiological disorder as there is a well-established relationship between Ca deficiency and incidence of BER in fruit De Freitas et al, 2014;Lyon et al, 1942;Malavolta et al, 1975;Paiva et al, 1998;Raleigh and Chucka, 1944;Taylor et al, 2004). Recent studies have reported that BER can be triggered by a cellular local-environmental or genetic factors may lead to a reduction of Ca uptake into either the root or fruit, or inadequate Ca translocation within the plant or fruit, which finally results in the development of BER.…”

Comparative Analysis on Blossom-end Rot Incidence in Two Tomato Cultivars in Relation to Calcium Nutrition and Fruit Growth

Blossom-end rot (BER) in tomato has been generally reported as a calcium (Ca)-related physiological disorder influenced by cultivar and environmental factors. In our previous works, we found that different fruit-sized cultivars could share a similar threshold value of water-soluble Ca. In addition, seasonal susceptibility to BER was closely related to fruit growth rate. This study aimed to clarify the effect of fruit growth rate as a dominant factor determining the susceptibility in different fruit-sized tomato cultivars.

“…Reasons for this irregular response were not clear. The appearance of blossom-end rot in the -Ca series during the tenth week may also be regarded as an indication of calcium deficiency (16,22,26).…”

IntroductionPreliminary research with natural pumice (18,23) has indicated that it might be a useful and inexpensive substrate in experiments on the mineral nutrition of plants. Appreciable surface activity appears to be associated with the high porosity of pumice. An experiment was undertaken to determine the availability to roots of specific elements held on different lots of pumice each of which had been immersed in a single salt solution. This investigation was designed to trace plant growth during the progressive diminution of an individual nutrient element in the substrate, the entire quantity of which wlas initially supplied in an adsorbed state on the pumice, in the presence of a nutrient solution containing all other essential ions in a soluble form and supplied at a uniform rate.
