What is coir? cocopeat?
Coco Peat(coir)
Coco Peat (coir), also known as coir pith or coir dust, is a byproduct of extracting fibres from
the husk of a coconut. Coco peat is the binding material that comes from the fibre portion of
the coconut husk.
The coir dust is washed, heat treated, screened and graded before being processed into various
Cocopeat-coir products for Horticultural and Agricultural Applications and Industrial Absorbent
Cocopeat-coir is usually shipped in the form of compressed bales, briquettes, slabs and discs.
The compressed cocopeat is converted into fluffy cocopeat-coir by the addition of water. A
single kilogram of cocopeat-coir will expand to 15 litres of moist cocopeat-coir.
Cocopeat-coir by itself does not have any nutrients for plant growth. Necessary nutrients will
have to be added according to the plant that is to be grown exclusively in cocopeat. Cocopeat
may also be mixed with sand, compost and fertilizer to make good quality potting soil.
Cocopeat-coir has high lignin and cellulose content which makes it ideal for growing
mushrooms which thrive on the cellulose. Being a good absorbent, dry cocopeat-coir can be
used as an oil absorbent on slippery floors. Cocopeat-coir is also used as a bedding in animal
farms and pet houses to absorb animal waste so the farm is kept clean and dry.
