Blossom End Rot is a common, yet easily corrected problem on tomatoes and other fruit. While many of us think about Tomato Blossom End Rot, it can occur on other vegetables, most notably peppers, zucchini, and other squashes, as well as fruits. Many plant problems are difficult to identify. The correction, or fix, can be equally challenging. Treatment of many plant diseases requires the use of fungicide, another chemical that can leave residue on your food. However, identifying the cause of blossom end rot, and eliminating the problem is a cinch.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-3454730 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"3454730\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-fff2fb0\" data-id=\"fff2fb0\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1f5933a elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"1f5933a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Identifying Blossom End Rot<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-3cfaa9b elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"3cfaa9b\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-285e621\" data-id=\"285e621\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-607788e elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"607788e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>This disease is easy to spot. \u00a0It&#8217;s common on tomato plants.

Its more prevalent in hot, dry weather, when frequent water may be required. The cause of this plant problem is no more complex or devious than this. That means the cure (or fix) is a cinch!<\/p><p>First, water your plants on a regular basis. Keep the soil moist, not wet, at all times. Water should be sufficient to penetrate deeply into the soil, as the roots have dug deep in search of sparse moisture.<\/p><p>It is equally important to add calcium to the soil. Calcium is an important nutrient that plays a vital role in assisting the plant in taking up water and other nutrients. It also helps in building cell structure. (It builds strong bones in humans) Calcium comes in two forms: liquid and solid. Sometimes, there is sufficient calcium in the soil. But, it might not be in liquid form, and the plant can&#8217;t take it in. To quickly eliminate blossom end rot, we recommend using liquid, or &#8220;chelated&#8221; calcium.\u00a0<\/p><p>There is no need for fungicides or any other chemical disease control.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-4f18626 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"4f18626\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-faf8c5a\" data-id=\"faf8c5a\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9a2e6e5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"9a2e6e5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Disposing Affected Fruit<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-69a6be1 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"69a6be1\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-c850ec7\" data-id=\"c850ec7\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9df4147 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"9df4147\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>There is no need to remove affected plants.
