The Role of Calcium in Tomato Plant Health
Calcium is an essential nutrient for plant health, playing a critical role in cell wall structure and stability. In tomatoes, adequate calcium levels are vital for preventing disorders like blossom end rot. Calcium helps in the formation of strong cell walls, which are necessary for the structural integrity of the fruit. Without sufficient calcium, the cells at the blossom end of the fruit break down, leading to the characteristic symptoms of blossom end rot.
