From treating fungal infections to removing root rot: 7 smart ways to use Hydrogen Peroxide for healthier plants
From improving soil quality and removing root rot to repelling unwanted garden pests and boosting seed germination, hydrogen peroxide offers several amazing benefits in the garden. Although commonly known as a mild antiseptic, it can work wonders for your plants. According to gardening experts Tammy Sons (TN Nursery) and Lucie Bradley (Easy Garden Irrigation) share surprising ways to use hydrogen peroxide for healthier indoor and outdoor plants. 7 ways to use hydrogen peroxide Explore courses from Top Institutes in Select a Course Category Management Data Science Healthcare Public Policy Design Thinking Others Project Management healthcare Digital Marketing Operations Management Artificial Intelligence Finance others Product Management Data Analytics Technology CXO Degree Cybersecurity MCA Data Science PGDM Leadership MBA Skills you'll gain: Duration: 11 Months IIM Kozhikode CERT-IIMK General Management Programme India Starts on undefined Get Details Skills you'll gain: Duration: 9 Months IIM Calcutta CERT-IIMC APSPM India Starts on undefined Get Details Skills you'll gain: Duration: 10 Months IIM Kozhikode CERT-IIMK GMPBE India Starts on undefined Get Details Treat Fungal Infections There are two fungal infections, namely powdery mildew and downy mildew, that can be treated using hydrogen peroxide. "I have used hydrogen peroxide as a mist on leaves when I first see signs of powdery mildew," Sons said. "It is by no means a sure thing, but it is a low-cost, easy, and generally safe trick to have in your bag of tricks." To treat plants with downy or powdery mildew, mix three parts water with one part 3% hydrogen peroxide. 'Place this mixture in a spray bottle and use it to spray affected plants, including the underside of leaves,' says Lucie Bradley. She suggests doing this in the early morning so that the solution can dry before the afternoon heat. This treatment needs to be repeated every couple of days until the infection has gone. Live Events When using hydrogen peroxide with plants, Bradley stated that it is important to ensure that it is sufficiently diluted. Otherwise, it could damage or kill your plants. Always use a 3 percent hydrogen peroxide solution that is diluted with water. Remove Root Rot Potted plants can get root rot if they are watered too much or don't have good drainage, but hydrogen peroxide can help. Bradley said that the reason hydrogen peroxide can help is that when it decomposes, it releases oxygen and water. The extra oxygen gives roots better aeration. To treat root rot, take the plant out of its pot, loosen the soil around the roots, and cut off any infected roots using clean scissors. Next, spray the roots well with a mix of 3% hydrogen peroxide and water (equal parts), then put the plant in fresh soil. Prepare Soil Even if your potted plants don't have root rot, treating their roots with hydrogen peroxide during transplanting can be helpful. Sons says she adds a couple of tablespoons of hydrogen peroxide per quart of water when moving outdoor plants into pots or transplanting a potted plant into a new container. "I like to use it particularly with young, delicate roots,' she said. 'This gives them a little extra oxygen as they deal with transplant shock," she added. But she also warned that this solution should not be overused; otherwise, it can damage plant roots, especially those of younger plants. Eliminate Aphids Spray a mixture of hydrogen peroxide and water to help control and eliminate aphids. "Mix a solution of 1 part 3 percent hydrogen peroxide and 4 parts water," Bradley said. "Then add to a spray bottle and liberally spray the infested plant, ensuring you cover the aphids with the solution." For the best results, insects should receive direct contact with the solution. The hydrogen peroxide will damage the aphids' exoskeleton. Eradicate Fungus Gnats The hydrogen peroxide can also be used to get rid of adult gnats, as well as their larvae and eggs. "To kill the eggs or larvae in your plant's soil, first let the soil dry out," says Bradley. Then, drench the soil using a 4:1 solution of water and 3 percent hydrogen peroxide. 'You can repeat this process once a week until the infestation has gone,' she says. For the best results, aim for direct contact with the adult fungus gnats to kill the invading pests. Encourage Seeds to Germinate Gardeners often soak seeds before planting to soften the seed coat and help the seeds germinate better. "But you can also do this using a solution of 1 part 3 percent hydrogen peroxide and 8 parts water," says Bradley. The seeds are required to be soaked in this solution for 30 minutes to an hour, then rinse in water. Then soak in water for an additional 10 to 11 hours before sowing. "This works best with larger seeds, which would usually take weeks to germinate," she says. Sterilize Soil When the soil is sterilized with hydrogen peroxide, it kills any bacteria and fungi. According to Bradley, there are two ways to do this. "For small amounts of soil—for example, houseplants—use a container where you have placed drainage holes in the base," she says. Then add the soil to the container and drench it with a 1:1 solution of 3 percent hydrogen peroxide and water. Mix the soil to ensure the solution is thoroughly combined. Once the soil is dry, you can use it for potting plants. For larger amounts of soil, spread a thin, 1/4-inch layer of soil over a plastic sheet. Then, spray with a solution of 1/2 a cup of 3 percent hydrogen peroxide and 1 gallon of water.

223% spike in income of unrecognised political parties in 2022-23: ADR
New Delhi: The declared incomes of registered unrecognised political parties witnessed a 223 per cent spike in 2022-23 and more than 73 per cent of these parties failed to publicly disclose their financial records, according to poll rights body the Association for Democratic Reforms (ADR). Its report analysed the status of submission of annual reports of a total of 739 (26.74 per cent) registered unrecognised parties across 22 states in India, whose either audit or contribution reports were available on the websites of respective state CEOs for the 2022-23 financial year.

States with zero reporting included Punjab (73 registered unrecognised parties), Uttarakhand (40) and Goa (12) are among the top three states where both audit and contributions reports of none of the registered unrecognised parties are available on the official websites. Live Events Among the 739 registered unrecognised parties analysed in this report, both audit and contribution reports are available for 501 parties across 20 states. This is a mere 18.13 per cent of the total number of registered unrecognised parties. The top compliant states are Gujarat (37.89 per cent), Bihar (36.41 per cent), Delhi (30 per cent), Uttar Pradesh (23.25 per cent) and Tamil Nadu (21.74 per cent) where either statement is available for the aforementioned percentages of total registered unrecognised parties in the state. Gujarat (30.53 per cent), Delhi (21.67 per cent) and Bihar (18.48 per cent) demonstrate relatively higher levels of compliance compared to the national average in terms of the availability of both reports of registered unrecognised parties in the public domain. Out of the top 10, five parties (50 per cent) are from Gujarat, indicating a concentration of unrecognized parties with high declared incomes in this state. Gujarat parties collectively reported Rs 1158.115 crore in total income - over 70 per cent of the top 10 parties' income. The highest income was declared by Bharatiya National Janta Dal, Rs 576.458 crore. Donations above Rs 20,000 account for a large share of total donations - e.g. New India United Party shows 100 per cent of donations as large donations (Rs 407.45 crore). Many of the top earners were formed after 2015, reflecting a trend of newer parties rapidly mobilizing funds. These include Satyawadi Rakshak Party (2022), Jan Man Party (2021), Jan Sewak Kranti Party (2021) and New India United Party (2018) the ADR said. Bharatiya National Janata Dal declared the highest total income of Rs 957.4454 crore (31.76 per cent of total) between the FY 2019-20 to 2023-24. The party witnessed a major jump in FY 2021-22 and FY 2022-23, the report said. Satyawadi Rakshak Party declared the second highest income of Rs 416.2337 crore, with sharp growth in FY 2022-23 (Rs 85.6779) and a massive Rs 330.5558 crore in FY 2023-24. Gujarat-based parties alone account for 73.22 per cent (Rs 1158.1154 crore) of the top 10 parties' declared income of Rs. 1581.7517 crore. Some parties report no or very less income in earlier years, but then suddenly report large sums in one or two fiscal years. In terms of political finance disclosures , registered unrecognised parties are not far behind the recognised political parties. In most cases, the income and donations of only the top 10 registered unrecognised parties match that of the state parties. The total donations above Rs 20,000 declared by top 10 registered unrecognised parties exceeded that of the national and state parties for FY 2022-23. The total income declared by the top 10 registered unrecognised parties was Rs 1581.7517 crore while the total donations declared was Rs 1581.66 crore for FY 2022-23. 99.99 per cent of income came from donations. Rs 1479.942 crore (93.56 per cent) came from donations above Rs 20,000. National parties reported only 33 per cent (27.64) donations from large donors (donations above Rs 20,000), while the top 10 unrecognized parties reported a massive 93per cent from large donors. This stark difference might suggest different reporting practices or dependence on fewer large donors by unrecognized parties. Regional parties reported the least large-donor concentration (14 per cent). Aam Janmat Party jumps from Rs 8000 in FY 2020-21 to Rs 220.3676 crore in FY 2022-23. Similarly, Saurashtra Janta Paksha reported Rs 131.3107 crore from zero in the previous two fiscal years. ADR has urged the ECI to strengthen regulatory oversight and take up regular scrutiny of unrecognised political parties, especially those declaring large donations but not contesting elections. It also recommended that the ECI delist parties inactive for over five years, make financial disclosures mandatory before tax exemptions, and direct state CEO websites to publish updates within 24 hours of receiving financial statements .
