Pepper dressing with hydrogen peroxide

Principle of action of hydrogen peroxide

Before using the drug should study the principle of its action.

If you pour a solution of peroxide on the wound you can see a slight hiss. This free oxygen reacts. The damaged area is disinfected, the pathogenic bacteria die. It will also happen on pepper seedlings or soil.

Buying seeds from regular suppliers does not give a full guarantee of their quality. Therefore, after the purchase they need to be sorted out, sorting the dummy. Before transplanting seedlings, carry out preparatory treatment of seeds with peroxide. This neutralizes the inhibitors that are under the shell and block germination. After processing, the sprouts will appear much faster.

In large vegetable farms using a solution of hydrochloric acid. At home, for small greenhouses, it is better to use hydrogen peroxide.This is a safer method since only water will remain after the decomposition process.

Processing methods

For processing all seeds selected for sowing, wrap in a tissue and put in a solution of peroxide, so that they are completely wet and saturated.

For disinfection, planting material must be kept in a 10% solution for 15 minutes. To activate growth, a 10% solution is needed. Soak in it for up to 12 hours. If the seeds spend more time in the peroxide, they will lose their properties and become sour. After the procedure, rinse and dry well.

To strengthen immunity, it is possible to treat with a 1% solution from the spray bottle.

This treatment technique increases the seed potential, disinfects them and helps prevent various diseases at all stages of development.

Tillage before planting seedlings

Before planting seedlings and processing, it is necessary to disinfect the soil. Harmful insects activate with the onset of heat. Therefore, measures to apply peroxide to seedlings planted in untreated beds may not have the desired effect.

Open ground is processed 3-4 days before planting. To do this, 4-5 tbsp. l. peroxide diluted in 4 liters of water and water the earth. This procedure is recommended to be carried out again in the fall, after harvesting.

Feeding seedlings

To feed seedlings with a solution of peroxide, 25-35 g of the substance should be diluted in 1 liter of water. If you need to get universal fertilizer, you can dilute 60g of peroxide in 3 liters of water and water all the seedlings of vegetables that will grow nearby. It is necessary to water often, alternating with ordinary water, without additives (change every 2 weeks).

  1. When spraying in 10 l of water, 20 g of solution is taken. Weak pepper seedlings will regain their strength and catch up with their brethren in their development.
  2. When feeding, it is necessary that the solution is warm and penetrates the soil by more than 15 cm. The earth should not be brought to a slush condition around the holes with seedlings .
  3. Feeding is better when there is no heat, before sunrise or after sunset. This will protect the foliage of young seedlings from burns if a solution gets on them.

The benefits of hydrogen peroxide

Watering with peroxide strengthens the root system

Watering with such a solution is of complex importance for the development of seedlings:

  • strengthening the root system;
  • strengthening the immunity of the aerial part;
  • disinfecting the root zone and destroying pathogenic microflora;
  • improving the respiration of the plant (when sprayed it acts as a source of oxygen ).

Aeration of the soil enables the root system to better absorb organic and mineral fertilizers.

Irrigation with the addition of a treatment solution helps to avoid late blight. For this, the following recipe is suitable:

  • 1 tbsp. l peroxide;
  • 1 bucket of water (10l);
  • 40 drops of iodine.

Stir all the ingredients and spray the plants. Phytoflora will die.

Prevention from diseases and pests

H2O2 can be used as a prophylactic against diseases and pests for seedlings and adult plants. To combat aphids, mealybugs or scale insects, this recipe is suitable:

  • 0.9 l H2O;
  • 50g 3% H2O2;
  • 2 Art. l alcohol (90%);
  • 3 drops of any dishwashing liquid.

Mix everything and pour into a spray bottle. Spray on the leaves.

Due to the oxidizing properties of oxygen, hydrogen peroxide very effectively fights against black stalk and root rot. Need 1 liter of phosphorus fertilizer mixed with 2 tbsp. l 3% peroxide solution and water infected plants 2 times a week.

Before planting, transshipment of pepper seedlings or diving, you need to treat the pots with this medication. Such a procedure will permanently eliminate root rot.

If it is possible to process the entire greenhouse before planting seedlings, this will prevent the appearance of all types of mold.

Contraindications

Do not use if white mold has appeared on the soil. It must be fought with other methods. Exposure to H2O2 can slow down or neutralize the substances that should destroy this disease.

There are no other contraindications. Feeding and spraying is safe.

Conclusion

When growing seedlings, hydrogen peroxide is simply not replaceable for its fertilizer. This is not an expensive and effective tool for obtaining a quality crop.
