TLDR
In this article, the effects of foliar potassium and calcium nitrate applications on nutrient content and fruit quality of figs were investigated and the results put forth an increase of K and Ca contents of leaf lamina and petiole.Abstract:
The research work is carried out to investigate the effects of foliar potassium and calcium nitrate applications on nutrient content and fruit quality of figs. The trial was performed as three replications on Sanlop trees, the main cultivar for commercial drying. The foliar fertilisation was made twice on July 10 and 25, 1997, and the program was carried out as potassium nitrate at 3.0 % level, calcium nitrate at 1.5 and 3.0 % levels and a combined application of 2.0 % potassium nitrate and 2.0 % calcium nitrate. The results put forth an increase of K and Ca contents of leaf lamina and petiole. Applications exerted marked effect on fruit width, length, shape and width of the ostiolar opening. Similar consequences appeared on texture and sugar fractions as fructose, α-glucose, β-glucose and galactose of dried fruits.read more

TL;DR: Results proved that tree vigor and fruit quality were improved with the applied rates of farmyard manure, where as the effect on nutrient content of the leaf was not marked.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of supplemental irrigation timing (treatments included no supplemental irrigation, supplemental irrigation in middle of March, supplementing no-fertilizer, supplementary irrigation in mid-March, supplementary irrigation in early-May, and supplemental irrigation early-August) on yield and quality of rain-fed fig trees were studied at the Estahban fig orchards in Fars province, Iran, through a three-year experiment.

Calcium nutrition of higher plants
TL;DR: Despite low intracellular requirements for Ca in higher plants, Ca deficiency has been recorded in agricultural and horticultural plants during recent years as mentioned in this paper, and the use of inorganic fertilizers containing Ca should therefore receive more consideration.
