What is meant by the EC in peat?

Post by on 5,13,25 in Coir Products

Coco peat (cocopeat), also known as coir pith, coir fibre pith, or simply coir dust is made from coconut husks, which are byproducts of Coir industries that use coconuts. Coir waste from coir fibre is separated washed, dried, screened and graded before being processed into coco peat products of various granularity and denseness, which are then used for horticultural and agricultural applications and as industrial absorbent. Based on the Electrical Conductivity, Fibre Content and screening we grade coco peat into two types. They are Low EC Coco Peat High EC Coco Peat The EC index is to measure the amount of salt and nutrients present in a substrate (<0.5 ms/cm). The Low EC coco peat having low level of salt in the product. And high EC coir pith indicates the amount of salt is substantial (> 0.8ms/sm) Note: milli Siemen per centimetre Low EC coco peat has an electrical conductivity (EC) value of less than 0.5 mS/cm and a pH range of 5.5 to 6.8, while high EC coco peat has an EC value of more than 0.8 mS/cm. EC measures the amount of salt and nutrients in a substrate. Low EC coco peat has a low salt level, while high…
