Tomato

High-yield, buffered coco coir substrates for long-season greenhouse and hydroponic tomato production.

Why coir for tomato

The right root zone for tomato

Tomatoes thrive in coco coir's balance of water-holding and air-filled porosity, giving roots constant access to both moisture and oxygen across a long crop. Our buffered, low-sodium coir keeps EC and pH stable for precise fertigation — supporting strong trusses, uniform set and season-long vigour.

  • Consistent moisture for long-season trusses
  • High air porosity for healthy roots
  • Buffered, low-EC for precise feeding
  • Uniform, re-wettable batches
