Features of Coir Peat in Modern Agriculture
Features and Benefits of Coco Coir Coir’s effect on a soilless growing medium will vary depending on its source, how it was processed, and the percent of coir used in the formulation of the substrate medium. The porous and granular structure of coir has similar physical properties to Sphagnum peat moss in that it has high total porosity, and even higher available water holding capacity than Sphagnum peat moss. Coir holds up to nine times its weight in water. Growing medium that contains a base of coir fibre and Sphagnum peat moss can help root and germinate. Some of the properties that make coir a suitable amendment for combining with Sphagnum peat moss for growing media include: Coco Coir Peat is a high-quality growth medium with incredible water-absorption abilities. In water, a kilogram of dried cocopeat expands to 15 liters. It can store many liters of water for months at a time. As a result, plants require less watering Coir has a neutral to slightly acidic pH of...
