Abstract
A method for disinfecting non-peat based plant-growth media, especially coir, which does not leave phytotoxic residues in the medium by contacting the medium with one or more water-soluble peroxygens is disclosed. The water-soluble peroxygen is preferably selected from the group comprising hydrogen peroxide and organic peracids, especially peracetic acid.
