Substrate Uses
Horticulture
Cocopeat is commonly used as a soilless growing medium in horticulture for a wide range of crops and many vegetable, fruit, flower and ornamental plants. It provides good water holding capacity and aeration for essential healthy plant growth.
Hydroponics
Cocopeat is also commonly used in hydroponic systems to grow plants without soil. It provides a stable and consistent growing medium with moisture and nutrients, allowing for optimal plant balance.
Seed cultivation
Cocopeat blocks are an ideal medium for starting seeds because they provide good moisture retention, aeration and drainage, which are essential for germination and early plant growth.
Agriculture soil amendment
Cocopeat blocks can be used as a soil amendment to improve soil structure and capacity. They can be mixed with other inputs to create a customized soil mix for plants.
Animal bedding
Cocopeat can be used as bedding for animals such as cows, horses and poultry. It provides soft, comfortable bedding for animals while absorbing moisture and reducing odors.
Oil or liquid absorbents
Cocopeat blocks can be used as oil absorbent, i.e. materials specifically designed to absorb oil spills and leaks. Cocopeat is used in a variety of industries, including manufacturing, transportation and environmental cleanup. Oil absorbents are essential to reduce the environmental impact of an oil spill and reduce further contamination.
