Blossom-end Rot OF Tomatoes


Numerous inquiries have been mad
of the County Agent lately regarding
the cause and proper treatment OF
the blossom-end rot OF tomatoes.
This is physiological disease and
is caused or at least aggravated by
dry weather.
In dry seasons Tomatoes from the
half grown to the ripening stage are
likely to be affected with dry
black rot at the blossom end. says
c. A. Ludwig, associate professor OF
plant pathology. OF Clemson College.
and this disease is likely to do much
damage as long as 1t continues dry.
In normally moist seasons there is
little or no trouble usually from bios
som-end rot.
TIE only remedy is water. In n
garden where water can be supplied
easily. the benefit to the crop will
usually make the application we'll
worth while. but where tomatoes are
grown on a commercial scale thir
remedy is not usually practicable.

in which the soil is we'll packed and

be narrowed after each rain, or 1t

hasten the termination of weed seeds
