Much research has been done in the last 20 years or so to show that lack of Ca++ in the soil is not the major cause of BER. Rather, it's maldistribution inside the plant that can be caused by several insults to the plants that can induce it/

Above is a link to BER in tomatoes, which is the same as BER in peppers, squash, cauliflower, you name it, that Mike Dunton at Victory Seeds asked me share with him, so I did.

If you have any questions, please just ask them in this thread.
