Advantages of using Cocopeat
1.The properties of cocopeat make it resistant to bacterial and fungal growth
2.It holds 6 times its weight of water
3.Cocopeat has the ability to store and release nutrient to plants for extended periods of time. It also has great oxygenation properties which is important for healthy root development
4.Cocopeat can even be reused for up to 4 years!
5.It makes a great bedding material for worm bins! It’s actually good for them and increases worm growth by 25%
6.Cocopeat is very slow to disintegrate; it only begins to break down when it is 10 years old, long term benefits.
7.It is very light and easy to handle
8.It can be combined with any of the normal ingredients and use as a mixer or a stand-alone product
Coco peat (cocopeat), also known as coir pith. coir fibre pith, coir dust, or simply coir, is made from coconut husks, which are byproducts of other industries that use coconuts. Cocopeat primarily consists of the coir fibre pith or coir dust which is obtained by processing coconut husk and removing the long fibres.
The cocopeat which is obtained can hold large quantities of water, just like a sponge. It is used as a replacement for traditional peat in soil mixtures, or, as a soil-less substrate for plant cultivation.
Common uses of coco peat include:
- As a substitute for peat, because it is free of bacteria and most fungal spores, and is sustainably produced without the environmental damage caused by peat mining.
- Mixed with sand, compost and fertilizer to make good quality potting soil. Coco peat generally has an acidity in the range of pH - 5.5 to 6.5. It is a little on the acidic side for some plants, but many popular plants can tolerate this pH range.
- As substrate for growing mushrooms, which thrive on the cellulose. Coco peat has high cellulose and lignin content.
Kelebihan Coco Peat:
1) Menghalang pertumbuhan bakteria dan kulat dalam tanaman media.
2) Memegang air sehingga 6 kali beratnya.
3) Mempunyai keupayaan untuk menyimpan dan melepaskan nutrien untuk tumbuh-tumbuhan dalam jangka masa yang panjang.
4) Ia juga memberi pengudaraan yang penting untuk perkembangan akar yang sihat.
5) Boleh digunakan semula sehingga 4 tahun.
6) Meningkatkan pertumbuhan cacing sebanyak 25%.
7) Lambat hancur dan mula terurai apabila berusia 10 tahun!
8) Sangat ringan dan mudah dikendalikan.
9) Boleh dicampurkan dengan mana-mana tanaman media ataupun secara bersendirian.
Empulur sabut serat, debu sabut, atau mudahnya sabut ini diperbuat daripada sabut kelapa, iaitu hasil sampingan daripada industry lain yang menggunakan kelapa. Coco peat terdiri daripada empulur sabut serat atau debu sabut di mana ia diperoleh dengan memproses sabut kelapa dan dibuangkan serat-seratnya yang panjang.
