Abstract
Silver stabilised hydrogen peroxide is used by greenhouse growers to clean irrigation lines. Growers of phalaenopsis saw an improved growth of the crop after stopping the dosage of hydrogen peroxide. In a pilot test in a commercial company is the effect of 30 mg/L silver stabilized hydrogen peroxide on the crop investigated: growth, loss of plants and microbial ecosystem rhizosphere and phyllosphere. During the first 14 weeks of cultivation an intensive measurement protocol was applied. However, just minor differences were observed. Treatment with hydrogen peroxide create a little bigger leaf area, but had a little less root tips. In addition, the wax layer on the leaves was a bit thinner, which increases the risk for diseases. Small differences were found in the microbial ecosystem, but differences in time were bigger than differences in treatments. No visual differences were found after this period and further follow-up of the crop until the end of cultivation did not result in visual differences. Dosing of hydrogen peroxide therefore had no significant effect on cultivation, but it also did not prevent loss of plants by diseases.
