Default Hydrogen peroxide for blackspot spores?

Wouldn't Hydrogen Dioxide be HO2, no? Cuz Carbon Dioxide is CO2, oui? So
water would be DiHydrogen Oxide.

Anne, you're right. Hydrogen dioxide is simply water - H20. Hydrogen
PERoxide is H202, i.e. one hydrogen per each oxygen atom. It
biodegrades to water plus oxygen quite easily.
