Soaking seeds in peroxide

[GoodFriendMike]

I was reading up on fig breeding and when it came to planting the seeds.
They mentioned better germination when they soaked the seeds in peroxide.
I looked it up and seems it is common practice for planting seeds.
Anyone here soak seeds of any kind in peroxide before planting?

I dont but you can do a lot of cool things to seed. if you put them in water with an air stone for example you can skip a loooot of types of stratification inhibitors.

Never tried it.

I’ll be inoculating my vegetable and flower seeds with a leaf mold extract to see if it aids in better germination, growth and plant health.

What is the peroxide supposed to do? Is it mostly to kill off any pathogens?

I normally allow my tomato seeds to ferment for a while for this purpose. It's pretty gross after a while. Not sure if it really helps.... still I do it.
