The increased occurrence of calcium deficiency in agricultural and horticultural plants has attracted considerable attention to calcium nutrition in recent years. The functional requirement for calcium within the cell of higher plants seems low for a major nutrient. However, lack of both selective and active uptake as well as inability for retranslocation makes a high concentration at the root surface and an uninterrupted uptake of calcium necessary. The requirement for calcium also increases with the increase in supply of other mineral elements, particularly of cations. Existing regulatory mechanisms seem to be more developed in the direction of restric tion rather than promotion of the uptake and long-distance transport of calcium. A better knowledge of the physiological aspects of calcium nutrition is necessary. In future more attention must be given to the use of inorganic fertilizers containing suffi cient calcium. Other agricultural and horticultural practices must also be considered in relation to their effect on the calcium nutrition of plants.
