Buffered Cocopeat

Cocopeat has a negatively charged complex, surrounded by a couple of positively charged ions: sodium and potassium. Because these elements stick to the complex, like iron to a magnet, there is no danger to the plant root initially. The problem starts when fertilising with calcium. The calcium will push the potassium and sodium aside and take their position. Consequently, the calcium that is connected to the complex won’t be available to the plant, while sodium and potassium that are released into the water will be available.
To avoid this ‘time bomb’ problem we offer buffered cocopeat. In buffered cocopeat the ion exchange, as we call the process where calcium pushes the other ions off the complex, has already taken place and other elements, such as sodium and potassium have been washed away.

SoilTecK Worm Compost

The art of Converting organic waste into fertilizer using worms is called Vermi Composting. In nature, all Organic matter eventually decomposes. In Vermi composting, worms are with the decomposed matter and the organic material will pass through the earthworm gut resulting in worm castings. Vermi compost enriches soil in most natural organic manner and also increase the quality, fertility and mineral content of soil. Unlike chemical micro organism, the organic fertilizer is completely harmless & provided rich organic soil that is best for plants.  Hence, Vermi composting   involves harnessing of earth worm for cleaning up the environment. In the process, earthworms and microbes work together and produce Vermi Compost.  It Contains more than 8 kinds of useful microbial bacterium groups(over 600 million per gram).so it can supply   all nutrition elements needed by the variety of plants .Use of the Bio-organic fertilizer will reduce the use of harmful chemical fertilizer; give higher yield & improve soil fertility.

Benefits of Vermi Composting

• Higher Yield of farm produce
• Better taste of food
• Less irrigation water requirement by water retention property to increase moisture in soil and protect against temperature andcreate more greenery

• Cultivation has been possible in saline-alkaline conditions
• Significantly more flowering and grain setting
• Less insects and pests attack on crops
• Less weed infestation
• Better germination
• Less insects and pests attack on crops
• Better overall appearance of crops
• Improved soil texture

SoilTeck can supply you 100% Vermi Compost or mix with Coco Peat according to the crop & packaged to customer requirement.

Washed Cocopeat

Coconuts often grow in areas where the subsoil is high in salts. Think of the postcards with palm trees on golden beaches. This means that Cocos nucifera can easily absorb chemical elements such as potassium, sodium and chloride without being negatively affected (contrary to most plants cultivated in the horticultural sector).
These salts are present in the whole plant and it is therefore a minimum requirement to wash the part of the plant we use, in our case the husk, to bring the E.C. level down to an acceptable level. If we didn’t do this, the grower would have to wash the cocopeat, because apart from sodium and chloride there would be too much potassium present. Potassium is an antagonist for calcium and magnesium.
