On Hydrogen Peroxide and Seed Vitality
When farmers try to do things, every time they study the influence of various substances on seed vitality, hydrogen peroxide is also one.
Hydrogen peroxide is active in nature, or exists in rain and fog, or can be seen in the micro environment of the soil. The world doubts, it is in seeds, is it good? For evil?
It has been observed by researchers that moderate hydrogen peroxide can break the dormancy of seeds. When covering seeds for dormancy, the seed coat is firm and thick, blocking the entry of air and water. And hydrogen peroxide has the power of oxidation, which can erode the seed coat, increase its permeability, make water and air easy to enter, and promote seed germination. And in seeds, it can kinase activity. Enzymes, the hub of biochemistry, can help the transformation of stored substances in seeds, and supply energy for germination and growth.
However, too much hydrogen peroxide can harm seeds. Its strong oxidation property can break the cell structure in seeds. Cell membranes are the screen of cells. If damaged, intracellular substances escape and metabolism is chaotic. And hydrogen peroxide is oxidized too violently, causing the accumulation of reactive oxygen species, damaging intracellular proteins and nucleic acids, and the vitality of seeds decreases.
Therefore, farmers should use it carefully to check the concentration and timing. During the spring planting period, take an appropriate amount of hydrogen peroxide and soak the seeds with liquid. If there is a certain amount of time, there will be a day, which varies from species to species. After soaking, wash it with water, and then sow it in fertile soil. In this way, with the benefit of hydrogen peroxide, avoid its harm, the seeds are sprouting and strong, and agricultural gains can be expected.
