The Effects of Calcium on Avocado Growth and Root Health
نویسندگان
چکیده
Many avocado growers are debating the question of whether or not to apply calcium to their groves. Some advocates say calcium is a necessary soil additive, creating almost magical improvements in soil chemical balance and tree growth. Others maintain that, since calcium is common in California soils, it serves only to improve soil structure in sodic soils or soils with permeability problems due to high sodium levels. Still others assert that, under most conditions, calcium additives do little to affect avocado growth and yield.

The interaction between sodium and calcium, magnesium and calcium and the combined effect of sodium, magnesium and calcium was observed on the growth and ion uptake of Hippophae rhamnoides L. The results demonstrated that an addition of sodium with calcium, (set a, Na 2.5 + Ca 5 mM) showed prominent increase in fresh weight of roots and shoots. The dry weight (average) of roots decreased an...
