Coir pith briquette

Coir dust or coir pith is a by-product of coir manufacturing. It constitutes almost 70 % the weight of the retted coconut husk. It consists of brown spongy particles which fall out when the fibre is removed. It is used as an inert and natural replacement for soil for the cultivation of plants. It is rich in lignin and tannin with lignocellulose bonds which makes it resistant to microbial attack. Due to its high water retention, aeration and inert nature, Coir pith is thus used as grow medium for high end agricultural applications.
