9. Blossom end rot can be controlled by spraying.
As I believe you must be aware, it is caused by calcium deficiency that occurs during fluctuations in moisture; such as a cycle with a week of heavy rain, followed by 2 dry weeks. You can buy blossom end rot spray, which provides calcium for your tomato plants. I use it every year.

2 other sprays I use on my tomato plants are liquid sevin (as needed) and Ortho Garden Disease Control.

I grow Celebrity plants because it's a heavy producer of high-acid tomatoes that I prefer, and it's more disease resistant than other varieties like Big Boy.
