Symptoms
The calcium deficient plant shows yellowing and withering of younger leaves. They may also exhibit split or rolled tips, sometimes with white discoloration.
Older leaves bend over. General plant growth is stunted.
Because Ca is not retranslocated to new growth, deficiency symptoms usually appear first on young leaves.
Roots are much shorter and look dark brown. Calcium deficiency can result in impaired root function and might predispose the rice plant to iron deficiency.
Reasons
Calcium deficiency.
Low Ca content in soil or low Ca uptake (resulting from imbalanced cation supply) may be the reason.
