Under which label or manufacturer is hydrogen peroxide sold as an adjunct to
foliar sprays. I ask because I've been an organic gardener for 25 years and
never once heard of it, or used or purchased it for horticultural use. I do
know Jerry Baker, the mental giant, recommends using Listerine to make foliage
surface inhospitable to fungal infections, but never heard of hydrogen peroxide.

The sensible approach to disease and insect control is to grow sturdy crops in a healthy environment."
