Prevention and Control
- Maintain consistent levels of moisture in the soil throughout the growing season.

- In cold climates, allow soil to warm before planting; cold soils limit nutrient uptake.
- Maintain soil pH at or near 6.5.
Simply so, how do you stop blossom end rot on tomatoes?
- Maintain steady levels of moisture to your plants.

Similarly, you may ask, can blossom end rot be reversed?
Blossom end rot is caused by two things: a lack of calcium and inconsistent watering. While the best cure to blossom end rot is prevention, it can be reversed once it's started.
The most common way to add calcium to soil is to use a soil additive. The two most common soil additives to raise calcium levels are lime and gypsum. Before choosing one, test your soil's pH to figure out which one will work best for your needs. If you need to raise your pH, use lime.
