Hello everyone! I’m Mo Lan, and this channel is dedicated to sharing family planting.
Today we are talking about ten incredible uses of hydrogen peroxide in vegetable gardens and gardens.
Hydrogen peroxide is a colorless, odorless, transparent liquid. It is a good medical and household disinfectant. We can easily buy it in pharmacies and some other stores. The chemical formula of hydrogen peroxide is: H2O2, which will release oxygen during the decomposition process. I wonder if you have noticed that every time it rains, the leaves of plants in the garden will become greener. One of the reasons is that the rain contains a small amount of hydrogen peroxide. It is this natural phenomenon that occurs at any time around shows that hydrogen peroxide can be used in gardening and is safe to use. Will not cause problems to soil and plants. Many years ago, in Europe, farmers began to use hydrogen peroxide as a plant fungicide and special fertilizer. The concentration of hydrogen peroxide we usually use in the vegetable garden and garden is 3% and 6%.
The first important use of hydrogen peroxide in the vegetable garden is:
1. Treatment of root rot: Excessive watering will cause hypoxia in the roots of plants and start to suffocate. Some pathogens can cause plant root rot, and the plant will become very fragile and gradually lose its vitality. Especially those plants planted in containers are most prone to root problems, such as tomatoes and potatoes. When you find root rot, you need to find ways to supplement oxygen. Use 3% hydrogen peroxide, add 20 times the water, and pour the solution directly into the soil at the roots of the plants. The hydrogen peroxide quickly decomposes and releases oxygen, which is directly transported to the roots of the plants. After that, watering was suspended. Wait until the top 5 cm of the soil around the plant is completely dry, and then water normally. Your plants will slowly be healed.
2. Promote seed germination
When sowing, why do some seeds always fail to germinate? This is because the seeds themselves may carry pathogens, and these pathogens will kill the seedlings during the germination of the seeds. Some seeds have harder seed coats and are not easy to absorb water. You can use hydrogen peroxide to help the seeds germinate faster. Hydrogen peroxide can soften the outer shell of seeds, and its oxidizing ability can kill any pathogens, thus increasing the germination rate of seeds. In addition, when plant seeds germinate, more oxygen is needed. The oxygen released by the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide can make the germination process of seeds smoother. The preparation method of the hydrogen peroxide solution used to soak the seeds: 3% hydrogen peroxide solution, plus 4 times the water. Soak the seeds in this solution for about four hours. Seeds soaked in hydrogen peroxide solution are easier to germinate, and seedlings grow stronger.
3. Pesticides: We have been trying various methods to prevent and control pests. Hydrogen peroxide has strong oxidizing properties and can kill the eggs and larvae of harmful pests such as moths; it can also safely kill many common pests in vegetable gardens, such as Ants, aphids, spider mites, whitefly, etc. When pests break out, you can use 3% hydrogen peroxide to add four times the amount of water and put it in a spray bottle. Spray directly on leaves or soil. Hydrogen peroxide can safely clean up pests. But be careful, try not to spray the solution on plant seedlings and old seedlings. To control the pests living in the soil, you can use 3% hydrogen peroxide, plus the same amount of clean water, and pour it directly into the soil without touching any part of the plant. This will eliminate the pests in the soil.
4. Eliminate fungi, etc.: The strong oxidizing properties of hydrogen peroxide can kill fungi very effectively. On plants with powdery mildew, black spot, gray mold, rust and other fungal infections, the use of diluted hydrogen peroxide solution will not have side effects on plant tissues. To control fungi, we usually use 3% hydrogen peroxide, mix it with water at a ratio of 1:20, and put it in a spray bottle. There is hoarfrost on the leaves of this zucchini, so I sprayed it with hydrogen peroxide solution for local treatment. Don't worry about chemical residues, hydrogen peroxide can only stay on plant leaves for a few hours. Hydrogen peroxide undergoes an oxidation reaction under sunlight, and it disappears after removing the fungus on the leaves. It will not stay on the leaves like vinegar or baking soda, and control the germs by changing the pH value of the surface of the leaves. This anti-fungal hydrogen peroxide solution can also be used when pruning, so that it can protect plants from bacterial infections.
