Soft Fruits - Alam Cocos

Strawberry Production

For natural reasons, coco pith is an ideal fit for strawberries growth and quality. Researchers found that strawberries grown in coco pith and mix performed better in terms of fruit yield per plant, fruit weight, firmness, salinity, amount of sugar and ascorbic acid. Unlike traditional soil, coco pith requires no soil pathogen, helps beneficial bacteria, better aeration and lightweight growing medium. These benefits led coco pith to be used broadly in hydroponics and greenhouse conditions.

Raspberry Production

The pH of coco pith is typically around 5.5 to 6.5 which makes it particularly suitable for growing berries. Alam Cocos offers wide range of high quality coco pith substrates that provides optimal rootzone conditions for raspberry cultivation. The tremendous water retention capabilities, promoting good drainage and aeration, nutrition level through high cation exchange rate, and reduction in the leaching of nutrients make our products a real sustainable agronomic solution for indoor and greenhouse growers using hydroponic systems.

Blueberry Production

Blueberries require acidic soil and ample organic matter for optimum growth. Hence, the usage of coco pith for blueberry production is increasing every year. The benefits of using coco pith substrates are common to that of many other crops – free from soil pests and diseases, aeration control, moisture and nutrition for the plants. If drainage is poor, it could result in serious root damage. Alam grow bags have ample drainage and irrigation holes that ultimately results in excellent quality and yield.
