Temperature swings, inconsistent watering, growth rates and varieties with tendency to have BER problems or to withstand the problems. Definitely not calcium deficiencies in the soil. It is an uptake and utilization problem. I more agree with Shawn than differ. As growth patterns, temperatures and watering evens out, BER goes away. Like the common cold, no matter what you take for medication, a cold runs it's course then goes away...or not.
