no it doesnt. its pretty intresting, but basically, if u use it in low enough dosage it can kill root fungus and larva in your soil. also when the molecule breaks down, u get h20, water, and o2, oxygen. but my watering cycle is every other watering i put in h2o2 and the other half i put in nutrients. but like i said, dont use alot cuz it is bad in concentration. like i have a 18 gallon water barrel and i only put like 10 ml per gallon. and like everything else, introduce it slowly.
