BUFFERED COCO PEAT

🧪 Why Buffering is Necessary for coco peat?

Raw or even washed coco peat naturally contains high levels of sodium and potassium, which:

  • Can displace essential nutrients (like calcium and magnesium) from the plant root zone.
  • May lead to nutrient imbalances or toxicity over time.

By buffering, you’re essentially pre-treating the coco peat to make it more plant-friendly, especially for sensitive or high-value crops.

🔄 The Buffering Process of coco peat (Simplified)

  1. Pre-washed coco peat is soaked in a calcium nitrate (Ca(NO₃)₂) or calcium-magnesium solution.
  2. The calcium ions displace the sodium and potassium ions attached to the coir particles.
  3. The media is then rinsed to wash out the displaced Na⁺ and K⁺ ions.

Here’s what a good buffered coco peat might look like:

  • EC: < 0.5 mS/cm (1:1.5 or 1:2 method)
  • pH: 5.5–6.5
  • Washed and buffered with calcium nitrate
  • Moisture: < 15%
  • Free from weed seeds and pathogens
  • Expanded volume: 70–75L per 5kg block
