Riococo is a super washed coconut fiber granule with compressed and carefully selected natural coconut fiber. A premium quality coconut fiber that promotes uniform root distribution, rapid growth and better flowering, increasing yield by 10-15%. It is designed to achieve an optimal water retention capacity and root aeration.
100% Biodegradable
Comes from renewable sources
Riococco Formats
Riococco bags are available in three different formats:
- Riococo Starter: fine-grained coconut substrate, indicated for the starting and germination phase
- Ref#111098: substrate presented in coconut fiber, indicated for the transplant phase
- Ref#110025: substrate presented in coconut chips, thicker, perfect for growth and flowering
About Riococo
Riococo is the leading manufacturer of coconut fiber substrates for the growing season. of special coir substrates from Sri Lanka. The coir they produce is produced in-house, as is the production and quality control facility. The harvested coir goes through a curing period of 4-6 weeks, after which the fibres are separated and sorted. This process adjusts the EC and increases the flexibility of the fibres and their durability without any deterioration. The product is then washed 4 times with water and once more with steam, which removes contaminants and salts. This process is called MaxWash and reduces the Na and Cl levels to below 70 ppm.
During the production process of the different coir blends, fine particles smaller than 5 mm are removed just before the product is compressed; this results in better drainage, overall expansion, better nutrient absorption and lower water consumption. Precisely because there is greater aeration and more availability of nutrients, production increases by 10 to 15%.
Riococo works with the highest quality standards of the Sri Lankan government and, in fact, its factories are ISO 9001:2015 and 14001:2015 certified. There is a wide variety of Riococo products for cultivation from seed germination or cutting production to production.
Advantages of Riococo
- Very homogeneous substrate
- Previously washed to remove salts and adjust electrical conductivity
- Coconut chips that prevent sedimentation of the coconut
- Optimal irrigation management: requires only short but frequent irrigation
- More water retention water
- Better oxygenation of roots = greater root development
- Contains beneficial microbiota (Thricoderma)
- No buffering process
- Comes already prepared, we eliminate the initial wash: less investment in osmosis water and less work
