Coco Coir Lignin Content Matters Cultivation directors charged with developing operating procedures are choosing between numerous soilless substrates. Those who have made the wise choice to grow in coco coir are seeing an ever-growing range of coco coir options. The considerations of this choice go beyond quality, consistency, and supply. What ultimately drives replicable high […]
Cultivation professionals are asking the RIOCOCO team about the various metrics used to describe our coco coir grow bags. One of the most important for root health is air filed porosity (AFP). By the end of this article fruit, vegetable, and flower growers will have a working understanding of what AFP is, how it is […]
When speaking with growers we’re often asked about the various specifications of our coco coir grow bags. One of the most important for crop steering is volumetric water content (VWC). By the end of this article growers will have a working understanding of what VWC is, how it is measured, and its importance when establishing […]
When speaking with cultivation professionals we’re often asked about the various specifications used to describe our coco coir grow bags. One of the most important, and the basis for further measurements, is water holding capacity (WHC). By the end of this article growers will have a working understanding of what WHC is, how it’s measured, […]
Cultivation professionals are adopting eco-friendly practices, especially when using coconut coir growing media as their preferred substrate. Increasingly competitive markets are pressuring commercial growers towards increasing yields and reducing overhead while looming climate change demands a mindful carbon footprint. Carefully choosing crop inputs, equipment, and media has never been more important to effectively grow fruit […]
The application of coconut coir as an effective and natural propagation medium for growing crops is an extensively used process first discovered by EP Hume in 1949. A completely sustainable growing media, the coir substrate (or coco peat) has proven to be the most energy-efficient cultivation method for superior outcomes cultivating strawberries. RIOCOCO is the […]
An organic and naturally occurring product manufactured from mature coconut husks, coir substrate (or coco coir) is mainly used as a growing media or soilless substrate for horticulture applications. Because it is a coarse material obtained from the husk surrounding the coconut seed, coco coir is renewable and environment-friendly. Also, the coir substrate is suitable […]
Prevalent throughout several decades, ozone-safe and biodegradable plant grow bags are in extensive use throughout the hydroponic industry. RIOCOCO manufactures grow bags using uniquely categorized coco coir (aka coco peat) slabs. Our proprietary blend provides the optimal level of water holding capacity (WHC) and air-filled porosity (AFP), permitting agronomists to maintain the level of water […]
Coco coir bricks are in extensive use by cultivators worldwide – the most versatile organic growing medium for plants. The coco coir mix and starter blocks are produced from mature coconut husks, bi products of the palm industry. This sustainable resource is 100% organic, biodegradable, carbon-neutral, and is ideal for both organic, conventional and hydroponic […]
High water holding capacity, balanced pH, low EC, good drainage, less shrinkage and retaining physical properties for a longer period are some of the factors for which cultivators like coco peat hydroponics. Coco peat is good to retain nutrients against buffer supply and leaching. Moreover, it is not only superior to peat but also has […]
