INCREASED AIR POROCITY.Coir being fibrous in nature holds many air pockets which helps the crops to root easily and profusely. This increases the surface area of root system thereby facilitating better absorption of nutrients from soil. 2. GOOD WATER RETENTION:Absorbs water rapidly and holds it for longer periods preventing desiccation of plants during hotter climates especially in tropical areas. 3. ECO FRIENDLY COMPONENT OF SOIL:Coir amended soil combats bacterial and fungal infections. Coir has a plant origin and therefore 100% bio degradable. Periodical release of nutrients from coir helps to keep the soil rich for all seasons. 4. REDUCES IRRIGATION FREQUENCY:Irrigation of coir-grown plants may be done at longer intervals as the moisture holding capability of coir is high.IT CAN BE REUSED FOR UPTO 4 YEARS.
