COCOPEAT
Cocopeat is a natural Growing Medium(Substrate) made out of coconut husks at lest 6 weeks after removing the nuts.
The extraction of the coconut fibre from husks gives us by product called cocopeat or coir. after classification and removing the fibre the cocopeat stored for at lest 4 months to be composted and stabilised .
After 4-5 months the cocopreat been sieve to remove from it remain fibres and dust .then dried and compressed into 4-5 kg blocks or as grow-bags
In different sizes .
Washed and Treatment
The husk is washed with clean water to reduce the EC value below 1.0 mS/cm
And remove the freely soluble elements from it such as potassium, sodium, and chloride.
For special requirements some time the coir is treated by Ca & Mg to reduce the potassium and Sodium which bound inside the coir cells.
Cocopeat substrate is a :
-
Natural and renewable sources
-
High Cation exchange capacity
-
Organic and Biodegradable substrate
-
PH 5.5 – 6
-
EC < 1.0 mS/c
-
Quality of cocopeat is depend to:
Our washed cocopeat products are as below :
Fine coco :
Size :0 – 8 mm
Fibre : 2-5% by volume
Standart coco :
size : 0 – 12 mm
Fibre: 10 – 15 % by volume
