ABSTRACT:
This invention provides for compositions and methods for sterilizing soil using oxygen radicals. The soil is treated with an aqueous solution of an activated oxygen species after pretreatment with a water soluble phenolic complex including a divalent cation having redox potential, a cation redox reducing agent. The combination of the activated oxygen species and water soluble phenolic complex is sufficient to reduce soil microorganisms by at least 40% without leaving an accumulative toxic residue.
