Does calcium chloride help plants?

Although plants need both Calcium (especially for the cellwalls) and Chloride (for their metabolism) to keep themselves alive. Adding CaCl2 directly to the soil is more likely to cause damage than good. Calcium: A lack of calcium can cause new leaves to be distorted or hook shaped and the tip may die. It contributes to blossom end rot in tomatoes, tip burn of cabbage and brown/black heart of escarloe and celery. Lack of calcium is rarely a problem and too much of it will inhibit other nutrients. (source: http://gardening.about.com/od/gardenproblems/a/NutrientDeficie.htm) Chloride: This anion is abundant in nature and chloride excesses are more common that its deficiency. Crop quality can be affected by the use of chloride-containing fertilizers. (source: http://www.clemson.edu/agsrvlb/Micronutrients.doc)
