Wholesale Seedling Nursery growers produce seedlings with stronger and more fibrous roots when they use coco peat (Coir) Coco peat is used as a very good growing medium in seedling nurseries because of its high air filled porosity (honey comb structure of the fibre ) and high water holding capacity
This combination results in very high seed germination rates.
Coco peat (Coir) is used as growing medium through out the world especially by the vegetable growers (tomato, egg plant, pepper, cucumber), cut flower growers (rose, chrysanthemum and carnation etc) and in orchards (strawberry and melons) to get more and high quality yield Cocopeat(Coir) has the ability to store and release nutrient to plants for extended periods of time. Therefore , comparatively less fertilizers are required.
It encourages strong and profuse root development. The germination rate is higher when we use cocopeat rather than tradition peat moss. 50% - 70% of cocopeat(Coir) can be included in the seedling mix to improve aeration and water holding capacity along with suitable liquid nutrients. It is advised to check the pH and EC of the mix prior to use.
