Greenhouse peppers - Blossom end rot

Growers are familiar with blossom end rot on greenhouse tomatoes but it can also affect greenhouse peppers.  Water soaked spots which later turn brown or black and become sunken and dry appear at or near the blossom end of the fruit. Avoid unneccesary stress on plants by uniform, regular watering  so that calcium can be translocated during fruiting.
