COCOPEAT AS SOIL SUBSTRATE

COCOPEAT AS SOIL SUBTRATE

Growing demand for the Coir Pith products and continued support from our buyers encouraged us in setting up one more Unit at Pollachi exclusively for manufacturing coir pith products.

Advantages of Coir Pith :- Coir Pith is a substitute for soil with added advantages like lesser weight, free from fungus and as such avoids root diseases . Penetration of roots in coir pith is easier due smoothness of Coir pith particles and its porosity. Further limited watering is enough due to its water holding capacity and at the same time   absorption and release of fertilizers is quick in Coir Pith.

Applications :- Coir Pith products are used  in Agriculture, Horticulture, Landscaping, potting mix, Soil supplement, Germination of seeds and widely used in Green Houses and for raising vegetables and flowers in Terrace Gardens.
