A Distinct Use Of Coconut Husk - Coco Peat

Coco Peat is made from coconut husk which is used as a growing medium. It is washed, machine dried, made free from sand and plant and animal residue. It is completely Eco Friendly and Organic and free from weeds and pathogens in the soil. Due to its high capacity of holding water and air filled porosity, it proves an ideal medium for growing plants. It has a pH of 5.7 which is ideal for plants.

Coco Peat proves beneficial in a variety of ways :

• It can retain moisture up to eight times its volume and therefore, it is a good soil conditioner.
• It does not shed water like traditional peat and holds it instead.
• It is good for healthy root development as it has great oxygenation properties.
• It has consistent and uniform texture.
• Since it has a slow degradation rate, it is good for plant growth.
• A combination of coco peat, coco fibers and coco chips can be good for structure of plants.
• Coco peat allows air, nutrients and water to reach the root surface which is essential for their rapid and dense growth.
• Less amounts of fertilizers and water are wasted.
• Provides natural resistance to diseases and bacteria and also promotes the development of microorganisms near      the root zone which are good for the plants.
• A very important use may be that it decelerates the destruction of the wetlands.
• It also helps improve yields.

All these advantages of Coco peat make it very useful for the plants and its growth. It is completely organic and Eco friendly and requires less amount of water and fertilizers. BioActive Peat provides coco peat and its blocks which contain nutrients and beneficial microbes.
