There are tons of ways. I guess you are trying to stop bottom rot. Have you planted them yet is the first question. If you have you will have to use a spray that you can get at your farm supply. During the growing season Home Depot and Lowes carry it also. You want to spray it because it is not cost effective to water the plants with it unless you just have a couple. If you have not planted you can use many methods. Check your soil. In most cases you can add lime which will help them absorb the calcium better. What I do is put a scoop of lime and scoop of magnesium sulfate in the hole and then put 2 inches of dirt over that and plant the plant. Some people put a tums tablet in there also. You can use bone meal. Many things. Alot of times people see bottom end rot and think it is a calcium prob when it is really a watering problem. Too much or too little can cause the same effect. Have your soil tested. Also Google the Texas A&M agricultural dept. They have pictures of bad tomatoes and you can compare that to yours, click on it and it will identify the problem and the solution that works best. Hope this helps. Good luck.

What can calciume be use for?

Tomato plants must have calcium to avoid blossom end rot. Calcium chloride can be used for a quick fix if blossom end rot is detected. It must be used in a very dilute solution to avoid damaging the plant (one teaspoon per gallon) and it can be misted on the plant's leaves. It is better to add lime to the soil before planting to provide the calcium. Too much calcium chloride in the soil can be damaging to all growing things.


Which part of a tomato contains the most calcium?
