Make your own preventative spray for powdery mildew. Pharmaceutical grade (3%) hydrogen peroxide diluted down to the 0.5-1% (5000/10000ppm) level makes an organic remedy useful as a natural fungicide for powdery mildew. You can apply it to the soil and or spray a fine mist on plant leaf surfaces for effective control. Powdery mildew is often associated with high humidity. If you are growing plants hydroponically, try adding the H2O2 directly to the hydroponic nutrient solution.
We've been selling hydrogen peroxide test strips since 2007. Buy fully documented Indigo® hydrogen peroxide test strips, 100 strips/pack, with a guaranteed 3 year shelf life (dated back from expiration date "yyyy.mm.dd"); see storage requirements in Specifications.
Much stronger peroxide solutions (10%) kill mold spores on hard surfaces such as greenhouse walls. For this application, use Indigo® 10% H2O2 test strips to confirm correct dilutions of food grade concentrates down to the required ppm level.

Dip strip for 1 second & compare to color chart calibrated at 0, 500, 1000, 2500, 5000 and 10,000 ppm after 90 seconds. The detection limit is 250 ppm with an accuracy: +/- ½ color chart unit
Indigo® 10000 ppm peroxide test strips were developed to work with diluted solutions of hydrogen peroxide. Some formulations of hydrogen peroxide contain surfactants to create an “accelerated” version. These “accelerated” solutions may work with standard Indigo® H2O2 test strips but almost always require a custom color chart to compensate for different reaction times, etc.
Great test strip. A lot of other brands only go up to 500ppm, but this high level one can be used for high concentrated solutions.
