Those who grow vegetables know this problem well: the fruit appears healthy during the early stages of development, but as the days go by, a characteristic dark spot appears on the lower part, which gradually tends to widen until it completely compromises the quality of the harvest.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Besides the aesthetic damage, blossom end rot can lead to significant economic losses due to increased waste and a reduction in the commercial value of the produce.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Understanding the causes of this physiopathy is fundamental to adopting a correct prevention strategy.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Blossom end rot<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.msbiotech.net\/en\/two-solutions-for-blossom-end-rot-in-tomatoes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>blossom end rot<\/strong><\/a> It is a physiological disorder mainly linked to insufficient availability of calcium in the fruit tissues during the growth phase.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Contrary to popular belief, it is not a disease caused by fungi, bacteria or viruses, but a physiological imbalance that prevents the fruit from receiving adequate amounts of calcium during its development.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The symptoms generally appear on still-green fruits and tend to worsen as ripening progresses.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>How to recognise the symptoms<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The most characteristic symptom is the appearance of a <strong>dark, depressed lesion<\/strong> at the terminal part of the fruit, opposite the stalk.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Over time, the lesion increases in size and takes on a dark brown or blackish colour.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The main signs include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dark spots on the lower part of the fruit;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">dry and necrotic tissue;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">progressive expansion of the lesion;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">reduction in commercial quality;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">increased susceptibility to secondary rots.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The problem mainly affects tomatoes, but can also occur on peppers, aubergines and other horticultural crops.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Why is football so important<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The <strong>calcio<\/strong> carries out a <strong>essential role<\/strong> in the structure of cell walls and the stability of plant tissues.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When the fruit grows rapidly, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.msbiotech.net\/en\/calcium-deficiency-in-plants-symptoms-causes-and-how-to-treat-it-with-veratech-ca\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Calcium requirement<\/strong><\/a> increases considerably. If the plant cannot transport sufficient quantities to the fruit, the typical symptoms of blossom end rot begin to appear.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is important to note that the presence of calcium in the soil does not automatically guarantee its availability to the plant.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Very often, the problem is not the total amount of calcium present, but its ability to be absorbed and translocated correctly within the crop.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>The main causes of blossom end rot<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Various factors can promote the onset of physiopathy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Among the most common are:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Water stress<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Irregular watering is one of the main causes of the problem.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Alternating periods of drought followed by heavy irrigation can compromise the absorption of calcium and its transport to the fruit.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Excessive vegetative growth<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Very intense vegetative growth can create competition between leaves and fruits for the use of available calcium.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>High salinity<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Soils or nutrient solutions characterised by a high salt concentration can limit the uptake of nutrient elements.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Nutritional imbalances<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Excess nitrogen, potassium or magnesium can interfere with the absorption of calcium by the roots.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>High temperatures<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Particularly warm climatic conditions increase crop stress and can exacerbate the problem.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-5200 size-large\"
