Global International (India)

GLOBAL INTERNATIONAL is one of the leading exporters of coir pith blocks from South India. Coir pith is sourced from de-fibring units in South India and only good sources of coir are selected to make the blocks. The coir pith is cleaned and sieved before it is briquetted into a 650 gms or a 5 kg block.

The blocks are free from weeds and pathogens and are within safe EC and pH standards. Usage of coir pith blocks ensures high oxygen levels and thus good drainage properties. They reduce the dormancy period of seeds and promotes early sporting in almost all flowering plants and vegetable crops. It can be used as a substitute for peat moss, for horticultural purposes and it can also be used for green houses, commercial and domestic gardens.Many growers world over have started using coir pith Blocks instead of peat moss. We at GLOBAL INTERNATIONAL assure you the best quality of coir pith blocks with low EC and pH levels to encourage luxuriant growth of plants.

USES OF COIR PITH BLOCKS:

AS A POTTING MIX:

Coir pith block can be used as potting medium. It can be mixed with required fertilizers and nutrients according to the type of plant to be grown.

FOR MUSHROOM GROWERS:

Coir pith blocks are being used by a lot of mushroom growers around the world for the large scale production of edible mushrooms.

AS A SOIL SUPPLEMENT:

Re-hydrated coir block mixed with soil improves water holding capacity and aeration.

FOR GENERATING SEEDS:

Coir dust in starter containers speeds up germination and profuse rooting of the seedlings.

FOR TISSUE CULTURED PLAN:

Wetted coir brick in poly bags encourages initial growth phase of tissue cultured plants and grafted seedlings.

ROLES IN GARDEN SOILS:

INCREASED AIR POROCITY.

Coir being fibrous in nature holds many air pockets which helps the crops to root easily and profusely. This increases the surface area of root system thereby facilitating better absorption of nutrients from soil.

GOOD WATER RETENTION:

Absorbs water rapidly and holds it for longer periods preventing desiccation of plants during hotter climates especially in tropical areas.

ECO FRIENDLY COMPONENT OF SOIL:

Coir amended soil combats bacterial and fungal infections. Coir has a plant origin and therefore 100% bio degradable. Periodical release of nutrients from coir helps to keep the soil rich for all seasons.

REDUCES IRRIGATION FREQUENCY:

Irrigation of coir-grown plants may be done at longer intervals asthe moisture holding capability of coir is high. IT CAN BE REUSED FOR UPTO 4 YEARS.
