When tomatoes were planted in steamed soil inoculated with spores of Didymellalycopersici Kleb., a large proportion became infected but very few became infectedin unsteamed soil similarly inoculated. In soil treated with formalin and subsequently...
Calcium ions (Ca2+) are absorbed from the soil by the root cells before being distributed throughout the plant. The transport of Ca2+to aboveground parts relies on the movement of xylem, which is influenced by the transpiration rate of individual organs. The final distribution of Ca2+in tissue...
concentration of Ca in soil. For example, a reduction in the incidence of cavity spot of carrot byPythiumcoloratumwas achieved withlime, whereas gypsum (CaSO4), which does not affect pH, applied to the same soil at the same rate had no effect on the incidence of disease. The role of pH...
Various functions have been attributed to plant crystal idioblasts and crystals. There is evidence that oxalate synthesis is related to ionic balance. Plant crystals thus may be a manifestation of an effort to maintain an ionic equilibrium. In many plants oxalate is metabolized very slowly or not ...
sewage treatment. In agriculture, it is used in hydroponic culture and as a fast-effective fertilizer for acid soil. It can also be used to make fireworks, to produce explosives in national defense industry, and to paint negative poles in the electronic instrument industry. It is also a raw...
In construction, it is used as a building material for plaster, drywall, and cement. In agriculture, it is used as a soil conditioner and fertilizer. In the food industry, it is used as a food additive and a coagulant in the production of tofu. Calcium sulfate dihydrate is also used in...
it is used, among other things, as a filler and baking powder for standardization purposes; a firming agent in canned potatoes, tomatoes, carrots, lima beans, and pep- pers; in dough as a source of calcium ions (because the absence of calcium ions causes bread dough to be soft and ...
It can be used as fertilizer in agriculture which can reduce the alkalinity of the soil, improve soil properties. Food grade can be used as nutritional supplements (calcium to strengthen), coagulants, yeast food, the dough adjusting agents, chelating agents, it can also be used as enhancer ...
Used as a filler in the paint and paper industry. Used as Agro-chemical fertilizer, can reduce soil alkalinity, improve soil performance. 2.Food grade can be used as nutritional supplements (calcium fortification), coagulant, yeast food, dough conditioner, chelating agent, andalso for tomatoes, ...
Generally, Ca2+ is present in the higher concentration in soil and some plant organelle like vacuole and endoplasmic reticulum (0.1–10 mM) as compared to the cytoplasm (50–150 nM) (Stael et al., 2012). However, plants have developed various transportation ways to maintain Ca2+ homeostasis ...
