PORTLAND GENERAL ELECTRIC C O M P A N Y This season with all the warm weather, is a good one fo r grow ing tomatoes. It is also a good season for appearance of blossom end rot of tomatoes. Blossom end rot is not a disease. Rather, the condition is caused by rapidly fluctuating soil moisture. SYMPTOMS: Black lesions form on the biossom end of the fruit. The diseased arv.i shrinks and causes fruit to be misshapen. Only some fruit on a plant may be effected. CONTROL: Keep soil moisture as constant as possible througn the growing season. Light sandy soils are particularly prone to produce diseased fruit because of rapid loss of soil moisture.
