  • Calcium-deficient leaves show chlorosis and then necrosis around the base of the leaves. 
  • Dead spots appear on the stem as symptoms of Calcium deficiency,  causing the death of the parts facilitating the upper growth of the plant.
  • Symptoms also cause leaves to turn yellow at the edges which initially were dark green in color and finally causing the plant to die. 
  • Fruits showing blossom end rot were found to ripen less rapidly. Blossom end rot is closely associated with Calcium deficiency of the fruit.
