General description |
Debility. Straggly, thin plants. Calc. phos has strong resemblance to Calc. carb. but is by no means the same. Plants are straggly and thin, rather than fat and obese. They appear less chalky. The paleness is dirty-brownish Calc. phos. is more brittle than Calc. carb. The epidermis is soft and thin and it cracks. The leaves are thin and brittle. The flowers are strongly affected: long stamen with abundant pollen, yet small. Fruits, prone to rot, with soft skins. Calc. phos. plants are sensitive to cold and damp weather. Leaves that show spots and eruptions, as is evident from the clinical section.

| Notes and Academic Papers |
"The combined effect of calcium and phosphorus can be seen operating in this remedy; the epidermis is weak, making for many lesions in the form of spots and rots. The reproductive organs are severely affected so that crop losses occur. A single application during the lifetime of cereals is sufficient to arrest most problems. As with all Calcium preparations, the important thing here is caution. Deep acting remedies that form part of the body of plants must never be over used. If given too often, the negative effects will compound the existing problem. " (3)
