Therefore, researches in order to increase the fruits quality and loses reduction due to fruit crack or breakdown, need using innovative calcium based products. The researches conduced at Research Institute for Fruit Growing Pitesti, Romania reveal that application of calcium based products enhanced the fruits firmness and decreased the fruit cracking on ‘Skeena’ cherry variety. In addition, application of calcium based products on plum increased the production, fruits mass and firmness. On ‘Carpatin’, variety a good correlation was found between plums total sugar content and soluble dry mater content R2=0.671800 and respectively r=0.819634. Also, the calcium based products applied in cherry and plum culture, reduced the losses caused by the brown rot - Monilia laxa.
