BUFFERED COIR PITH

BUFFERED COIR PITH

(Washed in Calcium Nitrate)

Buffering cocopeat ensures that the sodium and potassium ions inherent to the cocopeat complex are washed away. When buffering cocopeat with calcium nitrate, the ion exchange, as we call the process where calcium pushes the other ions off the complex, has already taken place and other elements, such as sodium and potassium have been washed away. This is done to ensure that once the grower starts fertilizing with calcium, the calcium is available to the plant.

* Flash temperature varies based on quantity of gas being burnt, quantity of coir pith entering dryers and moisture of the coir pith. By and large temperature vary between 270⁰ C to 400⁰ C, which are in excess of requirement to kill all pathogenic bacteria including human pathogens.
