| Benefits of composted coir pith (called coco peat after processing) |
 |
|
The addition of composted coir dust improves soil texture, structure and tilth, sandy soil become more compact and clayey soil become more arable. |
|
It improves the soil aggregation |
|
It improves the water holding capacity (more than 5 times its dry weight) contributing towards increased soil moisture. |
|
The bulk density of both the sub surface (15-30 cm) sioil is reduced to considerable extent with the application composted coir pith. |
|
Composted coir dust contains all plant nutrient elements and it can provide a supplemental effect along with inorganic fertilizers. |
|
There is improvement in cation exchange capacity of soils, where composted coir pith is applied. |
|
Coir pith compost application increased the soil native microflora because of addition of humic materials. |
|
Ammonification, nitrification and nitrogen fixation are increased due to improved microbiological activity. |
| Application of coir pith (coco peat) compost |
|
|
It is recommended that 1 kg of composted coir pith per square feet of land irrespective of the raised. |
|
Is is advised that composted coir pith should be applied basally before take up the sowing. |
