This year I am growing 7 FL plants and testing some calcium treatment to see if I can finally reduce end rot in the Flamme plants.
I have 4 in-ground and 3 in buckets.
Plan: Beginning on Monday May 22, administer calcium nitrate weekly each Monday either to soil as liquid or foliar spray. I found a bulletin with data claiming Ca spray reduced BER.
Spray: 15 mM calcium nitrate + tiny bit of dishwash detergent as wetting agent. For 2 plants in ground and 1 in bucket.
Soil: 500 ml of 50 mM calcium nitrate applied to base of plant. 1 plant in-ground, 1 in bucket.
Control: 1 in ground , 1 in bucket.
Control and Spray test plants also receive 500 mls water at same time.
I did not spray a control of any sort on the Control or Soil plants.
