There are many reasons for the occurrence of such a dangerous disease as blossom end rot - these include frequent rains, too low temperatures, and other factors.

However, summer residents who have discovered signs of the disease on the crops they lovingly grow do not want to figure out what caused the disease to appear.

Instead, gardeners would like the pest to never come into their sight, and we will help them with this.

Calcium will help tomatoes cope with blossom-end rot.

As a preventative measure, it is added to the seedling holes in the form of crushed eggshells.

In addition, calcium is used at the stage of flower appearance and the beginning of fruit formation – not later.

To do this, the beds should be watered with a solution of calcium nitrate, mixing 10 g (incomplete tablespoon) of the preparation in 10 liters of water.

Each bush will need a liter of the product. Feed the tomatoes on damp soil.
