If you notice signs of rot on your tomatoes and peppers, remove and discard the affected fruits immediately. Then, apply calcium directly to the plants through foliar spraying. Calcium-based liquid nutrients are widely available and easy to use. One effective option is VitalPower Calcio, a preparation that contains not only calcium but also other essential nutrients for plant health.
How to Apply Foliar Nutrients
Foliar feeding is most effective when done in the late evening, as this allows plants to absorb the nutrients overnight without the risk of evaporation due to sunlight. Liquid calcium solutions can be diluted in water and sprayed evenly over the leaves.
Alternatively, calcium-enriched fertilizers can be added to irrigation water, allowing plants to absorb the nutrient through their root systems. If fruit rot is already present, foliar feeding provides the quickest results, helping plants recover faster.
For best results, use a concentration of 30 ml of calcium solution per 10 liters of water, whether applied via watering or foliar spraying.
