Calcium, and Magnesium, are Essential Secondary Macro Nutrients. They are also Electrolytes, and help pass electrical signals through the plant. As we know humans, and plants, are both run by electricity.
They are as important as NPK.
Look up Electrolytes.
Calcium and magnesium are essential secondary macronutrients for plants.
They are involved in cell wall strength, nutrient absorption, growth rates, enzyme activation, and flowering.
Marijuana is also a very Magnesium Hungry plant, and not to mention, Magnesium, is generally the most common container grown plant deficiency. If not supplied regularly, whats there, will quickly be used up.
Just think if your bones had no calcium??? Same for cell walls.
Scope of new technologies in Ca nutrition research and application
Ca is an integral part of the plant cell wall and plasma membrane and is also required for intracellular signaling (as a secondary messenger). Therefore, Ca plays a vital role in plant systems and is considered a key macronutrient for plant growth and development (Demidchik et al., 2018; Thor, 2019). Soil deposition of Ca is sufficient to meet the requirements of plants; however, the young vegetative parts of plants often experience Ca deficiency because of their limited immobilization
Ca functions in plants and Ca content in different types of soil
Ca is a macronutrient essential for the growth and development of higher plants, and is crucial for several physiological activities in plants. Different soil types contain varying amounts of Ca and have distinct uses in plants (Thor, 2019). Ca, a significant component of plant cell walls, plays a critical role in cell wall formation. It is used in the production of pectin, which holds cells together and strengthens and rigidifies cell walls. Enzymes involved in cell division and elongation, as
Ca deficiency in soil
Ca deficiency is a significant soil problem that can adversely affect plant growth and health (Leiva Soto et al., 2023). Ca is an essential macronutrient required for the development of plants and plays a critical role in cellular signaling (de Bang et al., 2021; Leong et al., 2023). It is an important intermediate in many physiological processes within plants, and its shortage affects plant growth and activity, which can lead to multiple issues. Ca deficiency in soil is commonly associated
Ca fertilizer variety, materials, production, and application
Ca fertilizers play a crucial role as indispensable agricultural inputs for the purpose of rectifying Ca deficiencies, enhancing soil structure, and alleviating soil acidity within farming systems. Various Ca fertilizers exist, each characterized by a unique chemical composition and manufacturing procedure. In the following discussion, a thorough examination of the existing types of Ca fertilizers is conducted to elucidate their individual manufacturing approaches (Xue et al., 2010).
CaCO3,
Conclusions
In conclusion, Ca is essential for plant growth and is closely related to soil pH. Soil acidification hinders nutrient access and affects crops worldwide.
