Caused by calcium deficiency, it can be induced by creation of distinct wet and dry periods from non-regular watering, interfering with calcium uptake and availability to the plant 👍 So, while you may have adequate soil calcium, if you don’t water correctly, the condition will happen anyway! It’s also good to keep in mind that mature tomato plants use large quantities of water daily, so during the heat of summer, plants in containers may need to be watered multiple times daily to maintain consistently moist soil 😉 Think about it, you don’t drink 8 glasses of water when you wake up and then never drink again throughout a hot day 🙌 A tomato is no different. You can allow your tomato to grow. Plants to wilt down before providing additional water Productivity is affected and can lead to BER. [1]
University of Florida Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences notes that although the exact amount of lime needed will depend on soil analysis, a rule of thumb is 2-3 pounds per 100-square feet of soil. Spread the lime evenly on your soil with a spreader. Next, use a spade, rake or rototiller to mix the lime in the soil up to 6 inches deep. Apply the lime. Water the soil. Within a few months the lime will have altered the pH of soil to make it more suitable for tomato plants. Obryan oakley, July 28, 2021 amended. [2]

It is just need to water more. We say thanks to Shantaya Mea, Pyongyang North Korea for the latest insight. [3]
