Optimal Conditions
When conditions are warm and watering has been erratic
Signature
The rotting or hardened blisters at the end tips of fruit
Prevention
Keep watering consistent and mulch your garden beds. A calcium deficiency also increases the probability of infection; an application of rock minerals and /or lime will help greatly. Don’t over fertilize with nitrogen and potassium as this also swings probability in its favour.
Coping
Blossom-end rot is typically an early-season problem that abates.
Eradicating
Once you have it, it’s a matter of following the prevention practices and in time the problem will abate
