Abstract

Calcium which play an important role in the growth and yield of tomato plant and protect the
tomato plant from some serious problems like curling of young leaves or shoots scorching or
spotting on young leaves, poor growth, leaf tip burns, stunted roots, and damage to fruit, and
hence increase the production of tomatoes, appears to be the very significant nutrient for the
greater production of tomatoes. The present review is therefore generalized to evaluate the
influence of calcium on the production of tomatoes and gather the abstracts of some researches
recently published to highlight the importance and role of calcium in tomato plant.
