Soaking Seeds in Hydrogen Peroxide Benefits and Risks
On the pros and cons of soaking seeds in hydrogen peroxide
Farmers know that raising seedlings and sowing seeds is related to autumn harvest. Today, there is a method of soaking seeds in hydrogen peroxide, which is used in fields. The pros and cons are similar, and cannot be ignored.
Hydrogen peroxide is a chemical substance with strong oxidation properties. Soaking seeds with it has many advantages. First, it can break the strength of the seed coat. The seed is covered with a firm shell, such as the genus of millet and wheat, which is often hindered by the entry of water and air. Soaking in dioxygen water can erode its surface, making the seed coat loose, and water and air are easy to penetrate, promoting the germination of seeds. Second, it can inhibit the growth of pathogens. Bacterial damage in the field often destroys seedlings invisible. Hydrogen peroxide is strong, which can kill pathogens attached to the surface of seeds, such as rice blast bacteria, wheat scab, etc., to ensure that the seeds are not disturbed by bacteria at the beginning of germination and grow healthily in the seedbed. Third, it can stimulate the ability of seeds. After soaking seeds, the activity of enzymes in the seeds can increase, the biochemical reaction accelerates, the transformation of nutrients is smoother, the seedlings can thrive, the stems are strong and the leaves are lush, and the resistance to stress is also increased. In case of drought, waterlogging, cold and heat, it can be resisted.
Of course, soaking seeds with hydrogen peroxide also contains risks. If the dosage is improper, it will be a disaster. If the amount is small, the effect will not be obvious, the seed skin will not be broken, the bacteria will be difficult to remove, and the power of soaking seeds will be wasted. Hydrogen peroxide oxidation is strong, too thick liquid, such as a fierce fire burning seedlings, the embryo is damaged by it, and the vitality is suddenly lost. Even if it sprouts, it is too weak and difficult to form a good plant. And the soaking time is long, and it is also necessary to be careful. If the time is short, the effect is not complete, and the planting will not be beneficial. If the time is long, the seeds will be soaked in the strong oxidizing liquid for a long time, the internal structure will be damaged, the vitality will be greatly damaged, the germination will not occur, and the growth will not be strong.
Furthermore, after soaking in hydrogen peroxide, if the treatment is not good, the liquid will enter the field, or the soil and water will be polluted. The ecological balance of the soil is chaotic, the community of microorganisms will change, and the fertility will gradually lose. If the water source is polluted,
Therefore, farmers soak their seeds with hydrogen peroxide, and they should know their properties in detail, and be careful to measure the dosage in a timely manner. After soaking, properly dispose of the residual liquid and do not cause harm. In this way, only the benefits can be taken and the harm avoided, and the abundance of the field garden can be guaranteed, and the full warehouse of autumn fruit can be obtained.
