The aerated structure of Cocopeat enables usage in farming and has numerous advantages as below:
Seedling raising
Green house hydroponics growing
Horticultural potting mixes
Soil conditioning
Bedding in animal farms

Cocopeat must be treated by first soaking it in water to hydrate it, followed by the addition of Calcium Nitrate, which can replace the sodium salts. The displacement reaction method takes about 24 hours and aids in the removal of unwanted salts. Calcium nitrate is added in the ratio of 1kg to 5 kgs cocopeat block.
The main purpose of using calcium nitrate is to reduce Potassium and Nitrogen and supplement it with calcium and Nitrogen
After the 24-48 hours you rinse the cocopeat 2 to 4 times then put it to drain the excess water until it remains moist enough to use in the seedling trays .
Since cocopeat has no nutrients in it, one is supposed to have a nutrient application program to ensure steady growth of the crops.
