Product Description

5 Kg coconut husk chips bales are made by using small pieces of coconut husk chips.After compressing husk chips in to 5:1 ratio a bale of *0cmx*0cm x *5cm dimentions is xxxxx is done because easy handling and increase loadability. When hydrated these bales they expans to its normal volume about ****0 Litrs. There are many advantages to using this growing media: High yields can be achieved on a limited area Better control over Irrigation and fertilization Easier disinfection Recycling of drainage water is possible Growing media can be used as an alternative to an inadequate soil. A balance between air content and available water is one of the most important requirements of good media. Plant roots require air for oxygen supply and gas exchange, and therefore, aeration is critical for optimum plant development. Lack of adequate aeration results in poor plant growth, susceptibility to diseases and nutrient deficiencies. Ideal growing media provide plants with adequate water supply and at the same time contain enough air to allow gas exchange in the rootsystem. Good growing media are also characterized by high hydraulic conductivity, xxxxx ability to transmitwater. Another important property is the medium's weight: it should be light weight for easy and less expensive transport and handling. But it should also be heavy enough to provide physical support to the plant.
