Crop guides

How do I investigate blossom-end rot in cocopeat tomatoes?
Check water consistency and calcium delivery before assuming the feed contains too little calcium.

Why the root zone matters
Fruit can receive insufficient calcium even when it is present in the root environment.
01 / OBSERVE
Three checks before you change anything
- Confirm the lesion is at the blossom end
- Review irrigation interruptions and uneven wetting
- Check roots and the complete nutrient programme
02 / NARROW IT DOWN
What changed recently?
Choose the closest observation for a suggested next check.
Dry periods or failed emitters
Correct delivery consistency and monitor new fruit.
Heavy feeding changes
Review nutrient balance with the adviser.
Uncertain fruit symptoms
Get identification before choosing a treatment.
03 / TAKE THE NEXT STEP
Leave with something useful
Focus on preventing injury to developing fruit and keep affected-fruit records.
Keep in mind
Eggshell additions are not a rapid correction for an established crop.
