In greenhouse experiments, roses (cultivars First Red, Escada and Mercedes) were grown in rockwool with 0.5, 4.0 or 7.0 mM Ca in the nutrient solution. Na, K and Mg concentrations in the nutrient solution varied with Ca concentration. Compared with 4 and 7 mM Ca, 0.5 mM Ca decreased the number of stems and stem weight (length), particularly at higher K and Mg concentrations (12.0 vs 5.0 mM K and 4.8 vs 1.8 mM Mg). Under Ca-deficient conditions, susceptibility to Botrytis cinerea increased, necrosis and abscission of the older leaves occurred, and petal necrosis was slightly higher. Ca uptake and transport are discussed.
