6.Water in the Morning
Watering your plants in the morning allows sufficient time for the moisture to reach the roots before the heat of the day. This helps prevent moisture-related stress that can contribute to blossom end rot.
7.Provide Adequate Drainage
Ensure your planting area has good drainage to prevent waterlogged soil, which can cause root damage and hinder the uptake of calcium.
8.Space Your Plants Properly
Proper spacing between plants ensures good air circulation and reduces competition for nutrients and water, essential factors in preventing blossom end rot.
9.Choose Resistant Varieties
Some zucchini and squash varieties are more resistant to blossom end rot than others. Research and select varieties known for their robustness against this issue.
By following these tips, you can enhance the health and productivity of your zucchini and squash plants, minimizing the risk of blossom end rot and enjoying a fruitful harvest.
