What is eco-friendly, naturally sustainable Coir Peat?
The coconut husk fields longer coir fibres, used for making
ropes, matting, nettingetc. Previously the non-fibrous
material (a corky, pith like material) was dumped, but
now it is screened to giveconsistent particle size and
organic matter content, and baled for use as an alternative
to peat moss. Since its introduction to the market, Coir
Peat has found uses in many horticultural applications
– including greens constructions.

Sunlight, air, water and nutrients are the basic requirements
for healthy plant growth. However, a good growth medium
is a vital link essential for the proper utilisation
of nutrient and water. The global agro-industry has
been facing a serious crisis due to the steady build
up of biological resistance to chemical pesticides and
chemical fertilizers. Improper use of chemical fertilizers
in soil leads to altering the physical and chemical
properties of soil and pollutes the biosphere.

The benefits of using Coir Peat
for hydroponic crops
A natural soil less hydroponic growing medium.
Coir Peat is used for a wide range of hydroponic crop
production throughout the world including: tomato, cucumber,
egg plant, capsicum, zucchini, strawberry, melons, carnation,
rose, gerbera, gypsophila, lisianthus, chrysanthemum
etc.
No harmful environmental impact
Coir Peat serves as an organic alternate
to Rockwool and perlite media without the environmental
disposal issues.
Hydroponic crop production using Coir Peat
offers the opportunity to consistently maximize yield
and quality with minimal environmental impact associated
with utilization of this renewable resource.
Excellent quality and high yield vegetable and
cut flower crops
The high water holding capacity provides a buffer in
high temperatures and high crop load demand without
compromising air supply. The presence of organic compounds
in Coir Peat can stimulate root growth and offer some
natural resistance to plant disease.
Produces crops for up to five years.
Provided careful hygiene and crop management is practiced,
Coir Peat can be used for successive production cycles
with short term crops, and can produce crops like roses
for up to five years.
