Calcium Deficiency in Crops

Calcium deficiency burns and distorts the newest growth and causes fruit disorders, because calcium can't move from old tissue.

Why it matters

It deforms new growth and downgrades fruit, and delivery depends on even water and transpiration — so the fix is available calcium plus steady watering.

When it appears

Erratic watering, high humidity, rapid growth.

How to identify it

  • Brown scorched tips/margins on new leaves (tip burn)
  • Distorted young growth
  • Fruit disorders like blossom-end rot

How to manage it

  1. Stabilise watering and humidity.
  2. Supply available calcium with Calcium Boost.
