PROCESS

Coco peat from the fiber unit is dumped and washed to remove excess salt content in it. Whereas in the unwashed coco peat the salt level is high which is not suitable for many plants. After washing the coco peat is naturally dried and the dry material is transported to factory for compression. The washed coco peat has the lower electrical conductivity level. Whereas in the unwashed coco peat the salt level is high which is not suitable for some of the plants. After compression according to the customers customized specification, it is palletized and shipped.
  • Coco peat has high lignin and cellulose content.
  • It has substantial amount of potassium in it.
  • Unwashed coco peat has excess salt content in it.
  • Growing is generally washed to drain the salt content

COCO PEAT USES

  • Potting mix.
  • Green house growing.
  • Gardening and landscaping.
  • Golf course construction & lawn making.
  • Seedling producers.
  • Hydroponical growing.
  • Horticulture and floriculture.
  • Animal bedding and industrial spills.

COCO PEAT ADVANTAGES

  • Coco peat (aer washing) has lower EC level that favors the plant growth.
  • The ph in coco peat is 5.5 to 6.7 which is suitable for plants.
  • Retains moisture 8 times of its volume.
  • A good soil conditioner.
  • Slow degradation rate.
  • Slow release of nutrients.
  • High aeration and oxygenation resulting in good root formation.
  • No need for frequent rewatering.
