Hydrogen Peroxide 3%

[seajae]

Does anyone know where I can get hold of hydrogen peroxide at 3% , I use it as a bacteria killer with my seeds and it is a good anti fungal. aerator with wet soil as well as other uses. I bought it in 20 ltr drums in Australia but have had no luck finding it here and have been loosing seed pretty bad to rot with all the moisture, hydrogen peroxide would fix this problem very quickly if I could get some. I live at Surat Thani but hopefully I can get it deliverd if a supplier is too far away.

TPL (Thai Peroxide Company Ltd.) is on of the largest chemical companies in Thailand so expect they could tell you where to buy.

thanks mate, I appreciate that.

Or...you get some at any drugstore, pharmacy or chemists shop. A small amount goes a long way as I use it for seed germinating also...

Was going to suggest drug store but when he said "I bought it in 20 ltr drums" did not think the 3oz bottles would be of much help.

Got a 500 mil bottle today at a pharmacy, only 45 baht and it was 6% but I can dilute. Thanks for all the replies and help, much appreciated. Even found a bottle of rubbing alcohol to use to disenfect my knives, it was a worthwhile drive.

Hello All, most of the H-P is 6% you find in shops, I've

got 20% at Marko which is cheaper than buying 3 bottles

of 6%. You can also buy Food Grade H-P in some specialty

stores, 30-40%.

From a Hydro site:

So what should a concerned grower do about the incredible problem of algae growth ? Nature has given us part of the answer in the form of a powerful oxidant called hydrogen peroxide. This molecule, whose formula is basically H2O2 decomposes forming molecular oxygen and water. It also reacts with organic matter in a redox reaction to oxidize it. In other words, algae and hydrogen peroxide cannot coexist.

However, there is an important problem that arises when using hydrogen peroxide. It does not discriminate between roots and algae so using more than the optimum amount leads to plant root death caused by the same quality that kills algae. So what is this optimum amount ?

-

I would love to show you a peer reviewed article that studied this issue but, as a matter of fact, no one has actually studied the levels at which these conditions are right at a scientific level. Most of what we know is currently empirical. Nonetheless, I have – from personal experience- verified that the application of 1mL of hydrogen peroxide (3% v/v) per liter of nutrient solution every week does seem to prevent algae and does not damage plant roots.

A Natural, Organic Fungicide you can make !

February 3rd, 2009 | Author: admin

Amongst all the problems faced by hydroponic and soil gardeners, fungus problems remain one of the most challenging. Fungal diseases tend to start rapidly and quickly wipe out entire sections of plants, leaving the grower wondering what happened or if anything could have been done to prevent it.

Sadly, most commercially available fungicides are very toxic to humans and beneficial insects, a reason why their application is detrimental to both the gardeners health and the environment itself. For this reason, many people have started to develop natural and more environmentally friendly solutions towards the problem of fungicide disease prevention.

Most gardener websites from people with limited knowledge about both fungicidal chemistry and biology offer simple solutions that may work with decent results for fungicide prevention and in some rare cases for fungicide disease curing. These remedies also carry some problems of their own, for example, the use of milk containing solutions over plants is proved to encourage the growth of molds and sometimes even stimulate the gathering of ant or similar insect populations. Using alkaline solutions containing bicarbonate or carbonate ions may prove beneficial for prevention but it’s effects are readily lost due to rain (which inevitably washes away bicarbonate ions).

In the light of this situation, I have decided to publish the recipe for a fungicide I have been using for sometime, based on US patent No. 6767562 (you can google the patent if you would like to further improve your knowledge on the matter). This mix was designed with both the chemistry and biology of fungus diseases in mind, taking into account that most fungus are sensitive to tannic acid and other chemicals naturally present within certain plant species.

This organic, natural fungicide is quiet simple to make. First, add two thirds of a cup of sage leaves to 1/2 gallon of water and boil it down to 1/3 gallon of water. After this has been done, add 2/3 gallon of red wine (the patent says “fermented grape solution” to make it a little bit harder to guess !”) and that’s it ! The solution has been proven to prevent and even cure fungus diseases in a variety of crops (as stated in the patent). Now, this information is merely educational and freely available within the patent, if you do not commercialize it you are free from patent infringement. I hope you use and enjoy this excellent organic, natural fungicide that will keep your garden free of those nasty, crop ruining fungus pests !

Good grief! How hard can it be? Just add 3 drops of H2O2 to a liter of water. Done!

[seajae]

I actually use around 15mil per litre of 3% H2O2 for watering in my plumeria/frangipani seeds and 20 to 25% per liter to aerate water logged mix. Dont ask me about hydro doses as I have no idea, I use it only on soil/potting mix grown plants.
