  • 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.
