“…In addition, calcium takes place in cross-binding negative charges, particularly on the carboxylic remnants of pectin, granting remarkable structural hardness to the cell wall (Hepler, 2010); more than 60% of calcium in plants is correlated with pectin (Lara et al, 2004). Our results of CaCl2 efficacy on freesia plants are consistent with that displayed by Reddy and Sarkar (2016) on gladiolus, who unveiled that the foliar spraying of calcium importantly increased corm and cormges attributes and extended the vase life of plants. Al-Atrakchii and Allawi (2020) reported that providing gladiolus plants with 500 and 1000 mg. l -1 of CaCl2 significantly elevated vegetative growth and vase life.…”

A pot experiment has been conducted in a plastic house at the Department of Protected Cultivation, Technical Institute of Zakho, Duhok Polytechnic University during the fall season of 2021–2022 to investigate the effects of three growth media (peat moss, loam + peat moss (1:1) and clay + peat moss (1:1)), foliar spraying of calcium chloride (CaCl2) at three concentrations (0, 500 and 1000 mg. L-1) and Gibberellic acid (GA3) at three concentrations (0, 200 and 400 mg. L-1) on vegetative growth, flowering and corm yield of freesia (Freesia refrecta L.) plant. The experiment was laid out in a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) of three factors with three replicates. The obtained results displayed that the peat moss medium surpassed other media in giving the highest vegetative growth traits (plant height, leaf area, and number of leaves per plant) as well as enhancing flowering traits (number of florets/spike, and vase life of cut flower) and corm yield traits (number of produced corm/plant, and corm volume). The same significant impact was exhibited by CaCl2 at concentrations of 500 and 1000 mg. L-1. Whereas GA3 at concentrations of 200 and 400 mg. L-1 improved most studied traits except number of florets per plant and vase life of cut flowers. The maximum vegetative, flowering, and corm harvest traits were obtained from grown plants in peat moss medium and by spraying them with increased concentrations of CaCl2 and GA3. Therefore, the peat moss medium in combination with increased concentrations of GA3 and CaCl2 is recommended for the improvement of freesia production quality and vase life

“…The results indicated in Tables (1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6) regarding the yield of the corms and cormels and the classification of the corms according to the international scale of the American Society of Gladiolus, that treatment with calcium chloride had a positive effect in improving the quantitative and qualitative characteristics of the corms and cormels, this may be explained according to the role of calcium involved in the process of photosynthesis and facilitation of nitrate uptake in the presence of calcium, increasing the processes of cell division and thus growth, as well as the binding of nucleic acids to proteins and participation in the formation and strengthening of cell membranes, this is supported by Reddy and Sarkar (2016) in their study on the plant Gladiolus.…”

“…Calcium is a critical regulator of plant growth and development, as this divalent cation is involved in many life activities (Hirschi, 2004). Reddy and Sarkar (2016) noted that the treatment of Gladiolus cultivar summer sunshine with calcium nitrate or calcium carbonate sprayed on the vegetative growth when the appearance of the 3-4th or sixth leaf or when the inflorescence appeared, led to an improvement in the characteristics of the produced corms and cormlets. They also indicated that spraying with calcium nitrate at 300 mg.l -1 on the sixth leaf led to the recording of the largest significant values of corm diameter, thickness and weight.…”

the period from Apr. 11, 2019 to Sept. 30, 2019, with the aim of producing corm and cormlets in the summer of three varieties of Gladiolus X hortulanus L. They are: "Break of dawn" White flowers, "Espresso" with red flowers, and "Blue frost" with purple flowers after being treated with salicylic acid (SA) at 0 and 250 mg.l -1 , as well as treatment with calcium chloride in three concentrations: 0, 500 and 1000 mg.l -1 by spraying them on the foliage twice. The Factorial Experiment conducted by RCBD. The results show that the red cultivar recorded the largest weight of the corm was 28.98 g, its volume was 34.01 cm 3 , its diameter was 4.94 cm, and the number of cormlets was 12.33. per plant, the size of the cormlets is 13.52 cm 3 . Spraying with salicylic acid at 250 mg.l -1 had a significant effect in recording the largest values for the corm diameter and their volume. Treatment with calcium chloride at both concentrations 500 and 1000 mg.l -1 resulted in a significant increase in the corm weight, its diameter and the volume of cormlets. The treatment with calcium chloride at 1000 mg.l -1 caused to record the largest values for the number of cormlets are 9.53 cormlet. pl -1 , while the treatment with calcium chloride at 500 mg.l -1 increased of the corm volume is 27.68 cm 3 . The red cultivar plants treated with or without salicylic acid interact with calcium chloride at 500 mg.l -1 was gave the best grade of corms ranked 7.00 (Jumbo).

“…Calcium also plays a major role in strengthening the structure of the cell wall and facilitating the absorption of other nutrients. In addition, the use of calcium nutrients during the growth period increases production, as calcium is an essential element for plant growth, without which it cannot grow or complete its life cycle [25,26]. This is supported by [27] in their study of Gladiolus.…”

The experiment was conducted in the field of the Department of Horticulture and Landscaping Desigen, College of Agriculture and Forestry, University of Mosul, during the period from March 2021 to April 2022, on the Gerbera plant Gerbera jamesonii (Esmara), with the aim of studying its response to treatment with benzyl adenine at a concentrations: 0 and 250 mg l-1 and calcium chloride at a concentrations: 0, 125 and 250 mgl-1 and chitosan at a concentrations: 0, 150 and 300 mgl-1, sprayed on the vegetative growth monthly, for a full year, starting from March 2021 until April 2022. It was used in the implementation of the experiment A Factorial Experiment of two Split Plots with a Randomized Complete Block Design with three replications and 15 treatment plants. The results showed that the treatment of plants with benzyl adenine with spraying with calcium chloride at a concentration of 250 mgl-1 for both interact with spraying with chitosan at a concentration of 300 mgl-1 recorded the highest significant values for the characteristics of: total yield of inflorescences produced, number of leaves, leaves area, number of branches and leaf content of total chlorophyll in against the lowest values of the control treatment. The results of the characteristics of the inflorescences produced during the study seasons, including the inflorescence diameter, the scape length, and the inflorescences yield, showed that they were at their maximum during the spring season, while the largest significant values were recorded for the inflorescence diameter and the vase life during the winter season.
