Blossom-End Rot of Tomatoes

Summary

Blossom-end rot is a disorder which can dramatically reduce both quality and quantity of tomato fruit. Damage begins as a dime-size, dry, brown lesion which generally increases in diameter as the condition worsens. In time, these lesions often become covered with a black mold. This publication goes into some detail as to the symptoms, persistence and transmission and controls.
