| description | Calcium is essential for plants, yet as its mobility is limited, the understanding of the rate of Ca<sup>2+</sup> accumulation and deposition in tissues of tubers, as well as the interactions with other critical nutrients prompted this study. To assess the interactions and differential accumulation of micro and macronutrients in the tissues of tubers, <i>Solanum tuberosum</i> L. varieties Agria and Rossi were cultivated and, after the beginning of tuberization, four foliar sprayings (at 8–10 day intervals) with CaCl<sub>2</sub> (3 and 6 kg ha<sup>−1</sup>) or Ca(NO<sub>3</sub>)<sub>2</sub> (2 and 4 kg ha<sup>−1</sup>) solutions were performed. It was found that both fertilizers increased Ca accumulation in tubers (mostly in the parenchyma tissues located in the center of the equatorial region). The functioning of the photosynthetic apparatus was not affected until the 3rd application but was somewhat affected when approaching the end of the crop cycle (after the 4th application), although the lower dose of CaCl<sub>2</sub> seemed to improve the photochemical use of energy, particularly when compared with the greater dose of Ca(NO<sub>3</sub>)<sub>2</sub>. Still, none of these impacts modified tuber height and diameter. Following the increased accumulation of Ca, in the tubers of both varieties, the mean contents of P, K, Na, Fe, and Zn revealed different accumulation patterns. Moreover, accumulation of K, Fe, Mn, and Zn prevailed in the epidermis, displaying a contrasting pattern relative to Ca. Therefore, Ca accumulation revealed a heterogeneous trend in the different regions analyzed, and Ca enrichment of tubers altered the accumulation of other nutrients. |
