Properties
Coconut peat is lignocellulosic in nature and is composed of mainly cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin. It is brown coloured fine particles with sizes range from 100-300 microns. The bio-polymeric nature of lignocellulose components develops the structured molecular framework and leads to porous network in each peat particles. The porous network in individual peat particles provides channels for nutrient and oxygen transport around the roots. Further, it provides higher specific surface area and more ligands for adsorption and exchange of nutrients to root system. These properties helps in producing healthy plants.

What is Coconut peat
The coconut peat is an agro waste by-product obtained during the process of coconut fiber extraction from coconut husk. During the extraction of fiber from the husk, a spongy material that binds the fiber in the husk is released. This spongy material is referred as coconut peat or coir-pith which is then washed with monsoon rain water and dried in the sun. It is an excellent soil conditioner and is being extensively used as a growing medium in the horticulture sector.
