Calcium deficiency symptoms appear initially as localized tissue necrosis leading to stunted plant growth, necrotic leaf margins on young leaves or curling of the leaves, and eventual death of terminal buds and root tips. Generally, the new growth and rapidly growing tissues of the plant are affected first.
Symptoms include dying growing tips and bushy, stunted growth; extreme cases may prevent fruit set. Crop-specific symptoms include: Apple - interacting with calcium, may display as "water core", internal areas appearing frozen; Beetroot - rough, cankered patches on roots, internal brown rot. Cabbage - distorted leaves, hollow areas in stems.
Symptoms will often appear overnight, affecting many types of plants. Leaves and stems may turn black, and buds and flowers may be discoloured, and frosted blooms may not produce fruit. Many annual plants, or plants grown in frost free areas, can suffer from damage when the air temperature drops below 40 degrees Fahrenheit (4 degrees Celsius).
