Blossom end rot on tomatoes

One of my greenhouse tomato plants got blossom end rot on the second truss, and I removed the whole truss. Will the rest of the plant be OK - the bottom trusses are so lovely I should hate to get rid of the whole plant

Blossom end rot is caused by irregular watering leading to ,I believe calcium shortage?,help me out someone,is that right? Anyway,it's not a disease or fungus that spreads so don't remove the fruit a lot of them will be usable for cooking etc. when you remove the black end.
Sort out the watering and it should not develop on the other trusses.

Hi Carole,
I think a short while back John answered the question in his usual efficient way. Off out shortly so no time to look for you this morning.

Thank you - the advice I was given was to destroy the whole plant! Thank goodness I asked here
