How to use hydrogen peroxide for tomatoes?

To get a good crop of tomatoes, you need to make some effort and connect all sorts of tricks to achieve success.The use of hydrogen peroxide, which not only finds wide application in medicine, but also has a beneficial effect on the well-being of plants, prevents the development of various kinds of diseases and protects them from pests, will be a good help.

In the natural environment, the plants needed for life and growth are fed from rainwater. But when it comes to growing garden crops, no one especially relies on the mercy of nature. It is very difficult to collect the right amount of water and rain "in reserve" and it is already difficult to hope that only pure drops fall from the sky with today's ecology. In order to assure a good harvest of tomatoes, it is precisely hydrogen peroxide that is being used.

Habitual for each disinfectant in its composition has an unstable oxygen atom. It is an oxidizer that disinfects the soil and the vegetable crops themselves, feeds their roots with air, activating metabolic processes and saturation with useful substances in plants.

Also, hydrogen peroxide has the following positive properties:

• disinfection of damage to plants;
• increase seed germination;
• increasing the ability of plants to assimilate trace elements;
• land improvement;
• neutralization of nitrates and nitrites.

The quality of the crop depends on the health and strength of the seed. The use of such affordable pharmacy tools as hydrogen peroxide allows them to rise faster. For dressing before planting, seeds are soaked in a peroxide solution. For two glasses of water take one tablespoon of three percent hydrogen peroxide and soak in the resulting composition of seed for tomatoes for a day. Then it is washed with water, allowed to dry and planted in the ground.

You can go the other way: the seeds are wrapped in cheesecloth and placed in a three percent hydrogen peroxide for fifteen minutes. Then they take it out, rinse it under a stream of clean water and leave it alone for some time - the seed should dry out.

Peroxide should be treated and the ground itself, as well as containers in which it is poured. This will make it possible to avoid infection with various diseases, the pathogens of which can be found in the soil and on the surface of the boxes.

The contents of the peroxide vial are dissolved in four liters of water. The soil is shed by this compound several days before the seeds “settle down” there. The same solution can wash the surface of the boxes.

Experience has shown that with peroxide treatment, seeds develop into strong seedlings, and then into strong thick bushes that can produce a wonderful harvest.

Seedlings also should not be left without exposure to hydrogen peroxide. To feed one liter of distilled water, you need to take half a tablespoon of three-percent peroxide and water the sprouts once every seven days (instead of the usual watering). If the seedlings are overgrown, it is necessary to assess whether it needs such stimulation.

For the first time such treatment is done in two to three weeks after the seeds have risen.

Young bushes of tomatoes need feeding with peroxide and after transplanting them to the garden. The earth itself also needs to be treated with this pharmacy, as is the case with the primer for seeds. The application of other fertilizers is not a reason to cancel the treatment with peroxide, although it is important here not to allow overfeeding. 50 milliliters of hydrogen peroxide is diluted in a ten-liter bucket with water and watered the plants.

The procedure itself must be carried out correctly so as not to harm the plants:

• the liquid should be poured at the root, avoiding contact with the leaves;
• for work warm solution is used;
• when watering it is impossible to wash out the soil;
• water should be absorbed into the ground no deeper than ten centimeters.

Feedback from experienced gardeners and agrarians suggests that this treatment is very effective for weak plants. Thanks to watering with peroxide, they quickly recover and grow greenery, preserving flowers and ovaries.

Also proved the effectiveness of spraying the bushes with a weak solution of hydrogen peroxide. Ten liters of water is enough to take ten tablespoons of pharmaceuticals.

To carry out such processing is also necessary with skill:

• Do not start the procedure in case of heat and wind;
• use a spray gun that gives very fine mist.

All these measures, together with the task of activating the development of tomato bushes, solve the problem of protecting them from the effects of pathogens and pests. Peroxide treatment prevents the development of root rot, white spot and late blight in tomatoes.

The cause of such diseases of garden crops are fungal microorganisms that are able to defeat the active oxygen in hydrogen peroxide.

In order to prevent the diseases from starting their development, ten milliliters of three percent hydrogen peroxide are stirred in a liter of water (or more in appropriate proportions). This composition is carried out watering and spraying alternately a couple of times a week.

Treatment of tomatoes with the use of hydrogen peroxide will require special measures if the beds were attacked by aphids or other pests. You need to mix one tablespoon of peroxide with ten milliliters of ammonia and one tablespoon of finely chopped laundry soap, dissolve it all in water (1 liter). Tomato bushes are treated with a freshly prepared mixture with an interval of ten days.

For those who have never used peroxide to feed and protect tomatoes, experienced gardeners are advised to start using solutions not on all the bushes, but only on a part of them. On different soils, in different conditions, recipes with peroxide can act differently. Each amateur gardener eventually selects certain proportions of the hydrogen peroxide dilution that work best.

The use of hydrogen peroxide in the cultivation of tomatoes does not require much effort and cost, but if the permissible concentration is observed during watering and spraying, you can avoid a lot of trouble when growing tomatoes and collect a wonderful crop that will please not only in summer but also in winter.
