dua,

BER is not a disease, it's a physiological disorder.

If you go back to the main forum and go to the FAQ link you'll find a FAQ about BER that might help answer your question.

if you have further questions after reading that FAQ please ask them here in this thread.

Cutting to the chase, if it's truly BER then it disappears with time as the plants mature. it is not a situation that one can "turn aound" in a given season.

Have you looked at some pictures of BER to convince yourself that that's what you're seeing?

Carolyn, who would also say that it would be highly unusual to find just one plant that had fruits with BER, amongst all others that didn't, since it is a phyiological condition and not a disease.

That's interesting b'c most folks have the most problems with BER with container grown plants.
