I understand calcium nitrate can be applied to apples before or after harvest to stop bitter pit from developing, do you have a treatment protocol for this product?
The Hi Yield Calcium Nitrate is for use on tomatoes to help stop blossom end rot from occurring. We are unsure if it would do anything for apples or the bitter pit you are referring to. Our team does not have experience in bitter pit or what would cause or eliminate it, so we would recommend reaching out to a local fruit tree nursery or your counties master gardeners office for assistance with this particular problem.
