Alleviation of Aluminium Toxicity by Calcium in Brassica Juncea (L.) Czernj & Cosson

Key Points

• Calcium significantly reduces the harmful effects of aluminium toxicity on brassica juncea.
• Plants exposed to high aluminium levels showed a 30% increase in growth when supplemented with calcium.
• Analysis of soil composition showed functional interactions between calcium and aluminium in brassica juncea.
• These findings suggest that enhancing calcium levels in soil could protect crops from aluminium toxicity.
