“…More than 90% of the cocopeat particles were from pith tissues which were less than 8 mm Fornes et al 2003). A similar result was obtained by Noguera et al (2003) with 90% of coconut coir dust particles were less than 8 mm. Furthermore, long and short fibers were found in sieves size 9.5, 2, 1.4 and 0.6 mm.…”

“…In general, all the substrates, except control (T1), showed pH and EC values higher than those established in optimal range (5.2-6.3 and < 0.5 dS m -1 , respectively; Abad et al, 2001;Noguera et al, 2003;Sánchez-Monedero et al, 2004). The increase in EC could be due to a greater concentration of soluble salts and nutrients, as shown in Table 3.…”

“…La mezcla con 20% de lombricompuesto presentó un valor cercano al tolerado y su efecto sobre el crecimiento de la planta fue positivo, lo que pudo deberse a que el nivel de conductividad eléctrica alcanzado (1,36 dS m -1 ) se encuentra en el rango de los valores umbrales para la especie, que oscila entre 1,0 y 1,4 dS m -1 , pudiendo existir diferencias varietales en esta tolerancia (Carranza et al, 2009). En el caso del pH, el rango adecuado para sustratos se ubica en valores de 5,2 a 6,3 (Noguera et al, 2003), niveles que se alcanzan con la incorporación de 20 a 40% de lombricompuesto a la mezcla, pero que se superarían con proporciones mayores, dada la respuesta linear observada en el incremento de esta variable.…”
