Title Of Article :
Effect of Foliar Calcium Application on Yield, Quality and Nutrient Concentrations, of Standard Carnation Varieties
Abstract :
In this study, it was aimed to determine the effect of foliar calcium application on yield, quality parameters and nutrient concentration of standard carnation varieties (Turbo and Baltico). For this purpose, four doses of Ca solution (0, 0.125%, 0.25% and 0.5%) prepared from CaCl_2.2H_2O. Foliar applications were done 3 times with 15 day intervals. Variety effects were statistically significant for all the parameters. Stem thickness, dry matter and vase life were numerically increased by Ca spraying however there were no statistically differences for these parameters. Foliar Ca applications increased plants Ca, K, N and P levels and decreased plant Mg, Cu and Mn concentrations.
