Chili - Chlorosis

Symptoms
Young tissue is mostly affected by Ca deficiency. New emerging leaves are small, deformed, yellow and subsequently necrotic. Slightly older leaves show marginal and interveinal chlorosis. Necrotic spots may appear within the chlorotic area. With severe deficiency, flower buds and shoot tips die off, shoot growth is completely inhibited. Calcium undersupply of the fruit is the reason for 'Blossom End Rot', i.e. browning and decay of the fruit tip.

Reasons
Calcium deficiency. Ca undersupply might be induced by nutrient lockout due to excessive N or K., or resulting from low transpiration.

Calcium deficiency made worse by

  • Acidic soils
  • Sandy or light soils (leaching)
  • Acid peat soils
  • Soils rich in sodium
  • Soils rich in aluminium
  • Drought conditions
  • Fruit high in nitrogen or potassium
  • Large fruit

Calcium is important for

  • Strong cell wall formation and thus for plant and fruit integrity
  • Fruit development, fruit quality
  • Prevention of Blossom End Rot, a physiological disorder, and promotion of plant health
