Handling Blossom End Rot: Keep Your Fruits Perfect 🍅
Blossom end rot is a common issue with tomatoes and other fruits. Here’s how to prevent it:
1. Consistent Watering: Ensure even soil moisture to prevent calcium deficiency.
2. Calcium Supplements: Add calcium to the soil if it’s deficient.
3. Mulching: Mulch to retain soil moisture and regulate temperature.
4. Proper Planting: Plant at the right depth to encourage strong root systems.
5. Soil Testing: Test soil regularly to maintain proper nutrient levels.
Tips:
- Avoid over-fertilizing with nitrogen, which can exacerbate blossom end rot.
- Use drip irrigation to provide consistent moisture.
- Regularly inspect fruits for early signs of blossom end rot and take action promptly.
