How to use the coconut bran seedling substrate correctly.

Coconut bran seedling substrate, as the name suggests, is adding coconut bran to the formula of seedling substrate. Adding coconut bran can make full use of the advantages of coconut bran and improve the deficiencies of existing peat substrates.

So how to use coconut bran seedling substrate to achieve good results?

Introduction of Coco peat: Coco peat is coconut shell fiber powder, which is a by-product or waste of coconut after processing. It is a naturally degradable and pure natural organic medium that falls off during the processing of coconut shell fiber. The processed coconut bran is very suitable for cultivating plants and is a popular horticultural medium at present.

1. The characteristics of coconut bran used for cultivating plants:

1. Good water retention: It can fully maintain water and nutrients, reduce the loss of water and nutrients, and is conducive to the good absorption of nutrients and water by plant roots during the growth process, which is conducive to the growth of plants.

2. Good air permeability: prevent the root system of plants from corroding, promote the growth of plant roots, protect the soil and avoid mudding.

3. It has a slow natural decomposition rate, which is beneficial to prolong the service life of the substrate.

2. Application scope of coconut bran:

1. One of the natural organic mediums for soilless cultivation, which can be used for soilless cultivation of flowers and economical plant products, as well as seedlings and seedlings.

2. It can be used as a substrate for crop production, and can be used as a field fertilizer to improve soil structure. It can be used for many years without changing the original soil structure.

3. Coconut chaff is used as a planting substrate for plant landscaping.

First, after sowing, this is a critical period for users. Water management is very important. The coconut bran substrate has good air permeability and fast water dispersal speed. In summer seedlings, especially during the emergence period, water management should be done well. Only when the water is properly managed, the coconut bran substrate Seedlings emerge more neatly and faster.

Three, how to do a good job of adding fertilizer. With the advancement of seedling technology, coconut bran seedlings are now introduced, because the water and fertilizer integration technology is mature now, and it can be supplemented according to the law of nutrition required for seedling growth in a scientific way. The so-called integration of water and fertilizer is to supplement fertilizer at the same time as watering. Water is the blood of the substrate, and as long as the blood contains reasonable nutrients, the seedlings can absorb and thrive.

The coconut bran seedling substrate is a good air permeability substrate. At the same time, according to the hydrophilicity of coconut bran, during the seedling raising process, when the substrate is dried and replenished, it can quickly wet the substrate, reduce the humidity of the entire greenhouse, reduce Test the water artificially to reduce the water content in the matrix. Such a root environment provides a better environment for the growth of seedlings and lays the foundation for cultivating strong seedlings.
