Many summer residents often lose a significant part of their tomato harvest due to blossom-end rot.

If only they knew that there was a remedy that would help them get rid of this problem with ease.

For this, you will need nothing more than calcium nitrate. This fertilizer instantly dissolves in warm water, which makes it very convenient for treating young seedlings on the leaf.

You can start fertilizing already at the stage of 2-4 true leaves.

To do this, of course, you should prepare a solution of 0.5 teaspoon of calcium nitrate and 1.5 liters of water.

After the first spraying, the fertilizing is repeated twice more, keeping an interval of 14 days between them.

After the tomatoes have migrated to the garden, it would not hurt to use the same calcium nitrate for watering.

In this case, you need to dilute a tablespoon of the preparation in a bucket of water and moisten the beds 2-3 times in May and June.
