Wetting seed-starting mixes initially with around .3% hydrogen
peroxide (drugstore peroxide diluted 10 to 1 with water) helps
avoid damping off and other soil diseases that might be in
the seed-starting media, as does wetting them initially with
boiling water.
I bet a minute in a microwave before filling cells or plug tray
inserts would do a number on disease spores, too.
