Cocopeat is the binding material that comes from the fibre portion of the husk and is also known as Coir pith or Coir dust is a by-product of extracting coir fibre from the husk of a coconut. The coir dust is washed, heat treated, screened and graded before being processed into various Cocopeat products for horticultural/agricultural applications and as industrial absorbent. The compressed cocopeat is converted into fluffy cocopeat by addiing water. One kilogram of compressed cocopeat will expand to *5 litres of moist cocopeat. The Cocopeat by itself does not have any nutrients for plant growth. Necessary nutrients will have to be added according to the plant that is to be grown exclusively in cocopeat. Cocopeat is also mixed with sand, compost and fertilizer to make good quality potting soil. In horticulture, cocopeat is recommended as substitute for peat because it is free from bacteria and fungal spores and is produced without any environmental damage caused by peat mining. Being a good absorbent, dry cocopeat can be used as an oil absorbent on slippery floors. Cocopeat is also used as bedding in animal farms, poultry farms and pet houses to absorb animal waste so as to keep the farm clean and dry.

Benefits of Coir Pith:

Multi-purpose Growing Medium

Cocopeat is a multi purpose growing medium that provides new opportunities for: Potting Mix Suppliers, Seedling Nurseries, Hydroponics Growers and Golf Green Constructors.

Environmental support

Cocopeat provides as an organic alternate to rockwool and perlite media without the environmental disposal issues. Hydroponics crop production using Cocopeat makes the opportunity to consistently maximize yield and provide better quality.

Excellent water holding capacity

Excellent water holding capacity of cocopeat provides a buffer in high temperatures and high crop load demand without compromising air supply. Additionally, it offers high water absorption and retention rate.

Root Growth

The presence of organic compounds in Cocopeat can results strong root growth compare with other growing medium. In addition it offers some natural resistance to plant diseases, so the plant live span will be long.
