Description
Irrigation Efficiency The ease of re-wetting and the quick drainage characteristics of coir means that coir needs to be irrigated less frequently and for shorter periods. This leads to reduced leaching losses of nutrients and lower wateruse faster Germination Times and Quicker Seedling Rotations The inherent qualities of coir and the optimum water/air availability are ideal for quick rooting and propagation. In many cases this leads to more seedling rotations per year and more efficient use of greenhouse equipment.
Growing awareness abroad, of late, about the Coco pith as an excellent alternative for recycling with farming system has pushed up its demand. Incorporating Coco pith improves its structure and physical properties of soil. The advantage of Coco pith is that it absorbs water in its range of 400-600 per cent of its weight and releases it to soil very slowly.
