Pots experiments were carried out to study the effect of four levels of calcium chloride (Zero, 100, 200, and 300 ppm) as foliar application on tomato plants cv. Pearson.The incidence of physiological disorder (blossom-end rot) was reduced as a result of foliar application of calcium chloride. Analyses of normal and blossom-end rot affected fruits and leaves showed that calcium content was increased as a result of calcium application. The calcium content of normal fruit was greater than blossom-end rot fruit. Average fruit weight, fruit diameter total solids and vitamin(c) content were also affected by calcium application
