    Are you asking for the cause of black rot? A general supplement is best, if that is what you are asking.

    Blossom end rot is a calcium deficiency, Epsom salts are magnesium, not calcium. They may add some nutrient but not calcium. Try gypsum.

    Black rot can also be caused by uneven watering.
