Calcium Deficiency Symptoms
Wheat Crop
As an immobile nutrient in plants, Ca deficiency appears as browning and die back of growing tips of roots and leaves. Leaves curl and margins turn brown with newly emerging leaves sticking together at the margins, leaving expanded leaves shredded on their edges. Fruit yield and quality will be reduced with high incidence of blossom-end rot and internal fruit decay.
Yellowing of bud leaves and their distortion are the main symptoms of calcium deficiency.
This wheat spike which is growing in a loamy-sand soil is expressing Ca deficiency symptoms, which is evident from the improper opening of the flag leaf leading to deformation of the spike i.e., incomplete booting. Such deficiency symptoms are due to the bias towards primary nutrient application only.

his soft red winter wheat field with sandy loam soil shows a stark difference between yellow (S deficient) and green-colored wheat. The difference was correlated to soil texture differences and likely depth of sand as deficiency symptoms were variable across the field. The areas with the highest concentration of sand exhibited the greatest S deficiency symptoms. Soil sample analysis from a depth of 0-15 cm indicated only 3.2 mg S/kg from yellow areas, and 4.6 mg S/kg from green areas. A deeper soil sample depth may have shown greater differences in soil S. Soil pH was 6.3 for both areas of yellow and green wheat. Tissue sample analysis of yellow wheat indicated a very high N concentration of 4.8%, while green wheat had 3.6%. Sulfur content in the yellow wheat was 0.12% compared to 0.20% for the green wheat. Soon after the photo was taken ammonium sulfate fertilizer was applied to the field, and upon an activating rainfall, the yellow wheat began to green up.
