Effects of high concentrations of calcium salts in the substrate and its pH on the growth of selected rhododendron cultivars

For proper growth and development, rhododendrons need acidic soils, whereas calcium carbonate (CaCO3) in the substrate markedly limits their growth. In this study, we analysed the reactions of rhododendrons to high concentrations of calcium salts and pH in the substrate. We used 4-month-old seedling...
