Coconut Fibre Dust
Coconut Fibre Dust, also called Coco Pith, Coco Peat, Coir Waste etc., is the material binding and keeping in place the different types of fibre in the coconut husk. It consists mainly of lignin and cellulose. It is obtained in the extraction of coconut fibre. It has high water absorbent properties and is therefore extensively used in plantations to improve the water holding capacity of soils. In recent times, it has been exported to Middle eastern countries and Europe for purposes of soil reconditioning , land scaping and potting.
