Benefits of composted coir pith
- The addition of composted coir dust improves soil texture, structure and tilth, sandy soil become more compact and clayey soil become more arable
- It improves the soil aggregation
- It improves the water holding capacity (more than 5 times its dry weight) contributing towards increased soil moisture.
- The bulk density of both the sub surface (15-30 cm) soil is reduced to considerable extent with the application composted coir pith.
- Composted coir dust contains all plant nutrient elements and it can provide a supplemental effect along with inorganic fertilizers.
- 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 humid materials.
- Ammonification, nitrification and nitrogen fixation are increased due to improved microbiological activity.
