It causes air, water and soil pollution and is considered as an environmental nuisance. The only advantageous property of coir pith is its moisture holding capacity. The held water in the inner matrices of coir pith has to be retained for a long period of time if the coir pith is being used as a potting medium. In this context, the water retention capacity of coir pith was studied as a function of time. This study was carried out in the different grades of coir pith. The results will be discussed in detail.Read More
