Blossom end rot
Blossom end rot appears s a leathery dark patch at the bottom of the fruit.
Inconsistent feeding, irregular watering & low levels of available calcium increases the plants susceptibility to blossom end rot.

Blossom drop
The flowers may wither & drop off at the knuckle or the fruit may stop growing when they reach the size of a match head.
These problems are caused by a number of factors including: poor pollination, low/high humidity, inconsistent moisture, poor air movement, large difference in day and night temperatures, potassium or calcium deficiency.
