Hydrogen peroxide for tomato seedlings: a super remedy for growing

What gardeners and gardeners do to increase productivity or get rid of insects in the beds. Hydrogen peroxide is a super remedy for tomatoes. Unlike expensive drugs, which are sometimes completely ineffective, this remedy can be bought for a penny at any pharmacy.

Hydrogen peroxide for disinfection

Many people know that planting material must be disinfected before planting. Most often, iodine or potassium permanganate is used for this purpose. But you can treat tomato seeds with hydrogen peroxide.

According to scientists, crop seeds contain inhibitors.It is they who prevent the germination of planting material. In the natural environment, they are destroyed in the process of oxidation. But in agriculture, peroxide is used for this purpose. Tomato seeds are sprayed with a spray bottle of 1% hydrogen peroxide raster. You need to spray the seeds already sown in the soil. Thus, not only the inhibitors contained in the seeds are destroyed, but the entire soil is disinfected.

Another way to disinfect future seedlings. In a 10% peroxide solution, soak the seeds for 25 minutes, then they should be washed under running water and dried on a battery to a loose state.

This remedy is also used as a growth stimulant for vegetable crops. Tomato planting material should be soaked for 12 hours in a 0.5% peroxide solution. After this time, the seeds are also washed in clean water and dried. This method of seed treatment guarantees their 100% germination.

Hydrogen peroxide for seedlings of tomatoes is also used in the treatment of the root system of tomatoes. But, in this case, all the thin roots will die, but no bacteria and fungi will remain on the rhizome itself.

Tillage before planting seedlings

The tool has found application in the cultivation of land in summer cottages. Most harmful insects prefer to winter in the soil. Therefore, before planting seedlings in open ground, it is recommended to decontaminate the ground. The substrate should be watered with peroxide solution not only before planting seedlings, but also after harvesting.

Only 1 vial of product is required for 4 liters of water. Mix the solution thoroughly with a wooden stick, pour it into a watering can and pour over the dug up soil. Watering with an aqueous solution is carried out in autumn and spring, a few days before planting young seedlings on the beds.

Processing seedlings and mature plants

When growing tomatoes, special attention should be paid to the processing of bushes. Tomato seedlings are very weak, so they need additional growth stimulation. You can use chemicals as a stimulant, but you can do without them and try treating the seedlings with a peroxide solution.

To spray the bushes, you need to take 1 liter of warm filtered water and dilute 1 tbsp. l. peroxide. Mix thoroughly and pour into a spray bottle, spraying is carried out constantly, until the seedlings are transplanted into the ground. It is recommended to spray once a week. With such top dressing, the seedlings begin to actively grow within a few days after the start of the procedure.

But not only young seedlings need a growth stimulator.Under certain factors, adult bushes can also grow poorly, look unhe althy and dry out. To solve this problem, you can use hydrogen peroxide. You can disinfect wounds and fractures at the stems. The broken place is smeared with peroxide and sealed with latex.

This remedy also copes well with fungal diseases. Dilute 25 ml of peroxide in 1 liter of water at room temperature and spray the branches and leaves of tomatoes with the resulting liquid.

Peroxide can also cope with such a common disease of nightshade crops as late blight. In 1 liter of water, dilute a few drops of iodine (you can do without it) and 35 ml of peroxide. Spray plants until all signs of late blight disappear.

Use as fertilizer for tomatoes

Using hydrogen peroxide, you can also fertilize tomatoes. Dilute the peroxide with water (3 liters per 50 ml of product) and water the tomato bushes with the resulting fertilizer. You can fertilize both young seedlings and adult bushes.

Watering the seedlings with this tool helps the rhizome better absorb microelements and macroelements. The released oxygen "eats" small roots, and also destroys all pathogenic bacteria and fungi. Just remember that watering the foliage of plants is not desirable. Feeding is done no more than once every 10 days.

When watering tomato seedlings in this way, a number of recommendations must be followed:

Water must penetrate the ground to a depth of more than 15 cm;
The need to use only warm water (not cold);
When watering the bushes, the liquid should not fall on the tops and erode the ground around the holes;

Water the bushes early in the morning or late in the evening, when the sun has already set (if you water the tomatoes when the sun is shining, they can get burned and die).
