First you must be sure that it is blight. If the leaves are not affected, then it is likely another problem. If you treat for blight and it is a calcium deficiency, then nothing will happen and the problem will persist.
If it is not a fungal infection, and the fruits develop a dark spot and rot, then it is likely a calcium deficiency. Dolomitic lime will fix this.
If this is a microbial issue, you will need to find out which one. Some are treatable, and some are not. They may have different treatments, if they can be treated.
