Anatomical aspects of blossom-end rot in the tomato with special reference to calcium nutrition

Arthur R. Spurr

Hilgardia, 1959, vol. 28, issue 12

Abstract: This report of the general symptoms of blossom-end rot in the tomato describes in detail the anatomical aspects of the disorder. The inception of the rot was observed in field-grown San Marzano tomatoes in relation to the age and development of the fruit. Incipient stages of the rot occurred about 10 to 15 days after anthesis when the fruit was from 38 to 60 per cent full grown in length. During this phase of fruit development the increments of growth in length are very large in relation to the size of the fruit. In general, affected fruits are retarded in length growth.
