Why is there a deficiency and excess of calcium in the soil?

• Cause of Calcium Deficiency:– If there is too much gap between irrigation, the soil becomes more dry which leads to calcium deficiency, soil with low pH, high saline water or ammonium rich soil can also cause calcium deficiency.

• Cause of excess calcium: – Due to irregular and excessive use of fertilizer containing SSP, there is a reason for excess of calcium.

• Symptoms of Calcium Deficiency: Due to the very low mobility of calcium in plant tissues, the symptoms of deficiency mainly appear on rapidly growing parts of the plant. Due to this the leaves turn yellow and gradually dry up. Symptoms of calcium deficiency also appear on the base parts of the leaves.

• Symptoms of calcium deficiency appear as dry dead spots on the stem of the plant and the upper growing part of the stem becomes dead. Symptoms of blossom end rot appear in fruits due to calcium deficiency..

• The pH of the soil increases due to the excess of calcium.
