	USU CROP PHYSIOLOGY LABORATORY: RESEARCH: COCONUT COIR
		Coir has been considered to promote excellent plant growth but there are few rigorous studies that have compared it with peat moss control plants.
		Vavrina (1996) found that there were no adverse effects of coir to tomato and pepper transplants, but a subsequent study in the same lab (Arenas et al., 2002) found that media with more than 50% coir had reduced growth compared to peat-grown control plants.
		Their data indicate that high concentrations of phenolic compounds in fresh coir are at least partly responsible for the growth reductions observed in other studies.

	How coir is made - Background, History, Raw materials, The manufacturing process of coir, Byproducts/waste
		Strong and nearly impervious to the weather, coir twine is the material hops growers in the United States prefer for tying their vines to supports.
		Coir is becoming a popular choice for making geotextiles because of its durability, eventual biodegrad-ability, ability to hold water, and hairy texture (which helps it cling to seeds and soil).
		In Europe and Asia, brown coir mats may be sprayed with latex rubber for use as padding in mattresses or automobile upholstery.

	3. Coir Fibre Processing
		The effectiveness of the wet processes investigated by the project team, such as bleaching and dyeing of coir, are strongly dependent on the procedures used to extract fibres from the husks and the pretreatment given the fibres.
		For dyeing 60 kg of coir yarn a fibre to liquor ratio of 1:12 is used, while smaller quantities of coir fibre (30 kg) are dyed at a 1:20 ratio.
		After hoisting the dyed coir yarn (Figure 6) from the vat and draining and spin drying, the fibre is dried in a conventional drier (convey or belt/hot air).
