I steer away from products that make claims about BER and blossom drop.
Just my opinion.

You might not have any more blossom end rot if you applied the product weekly with a hose end sprayer. From everything I have read blossom end rot is mainly caused by uneven watering. The additional dose of calcium supplied by the product might also help.

In nearly 40 years of gardening I have only experienced more than an occasional blossom end rot only twice. Both times were in the spring when we had a very dry spell and I didn't water regularly because I was too busy. Since I have been giving mine a little boost with a hose end sprayer just as they start blooming and again just as they start setting fruit I have not seen it at all.

Of course that means I'll have it this year.
