Where salinity is an issue, use of calcium can help to mitigate these effects. In trials, adding extra Ca in a saline situation helps to reduce cellular breakdown and leakage and improve growth and yield. Calcium nitrate or calcium sulfate forms are effective and trials show that they can be applied through fertigation or foliar sprays to help reduce salinity stress.
