- Symptoms are primarily visible in the rapidly growing areas because of the very low mobility of calcium in plant tissues.
- Calcium-deficient leaves show chlorosis and then necrosis around the base of the leaves.
- The plants become flaccid; dead spots appeared on the upper stems and the growing apex died.
- Upper leaf coloration initially was a darker green, but, later turning yellow at the edges and died.
- Fruits showing blossom end rot were found to ripen less rapidly. Blossom end rot is closely associated with Ca deficiency of the fruit.
