I've read about adding H202 to foliar fertigation programs, but I don't remember any details. Peaceful Valley Farm Supply sells 35% food grade H202 for fertigation, product details are: Oxygen For Better Uptake Added to foliar feeding solutions, fertigation, irrigation, etc., to improve oxygen levels. Higher oxygen levels improve the plant's ability to take up any available nutrients. Best to use an ORP Meter (see Monitoring Tools section) to determine available oxygen in the solution you are using. Application rates vary widely but start at 4 oz/100 gal of treated water. Severe problems may require up to 32 oz. Our hydrogen peroxide is food grade 35% H2O2 and should not be confused with the H2O2 sold in drug stores, which is only 3% and contains preservatives. 35% H2O2 (a hazardous material) is very potent and can burn on contact with the skin. Caution is advised! This hazardous material can ship only by truck, directly from the manufacturer. Ask for a truck quote. PSA857 & PSA860: Forklift required at delivery site.
