Low EC Coco Peat – Why It Matters for Export, Hydroponics & Greenhouses
When choosing coco peat for professional farming, one of the most critical parameters buyers look for is EC level (Electrical Conductivity).
Low EC coco peat is essential for hydroponics, greenhouse cultivation, seed propagation, and export markets with strict quality standards.

1. What Does EC Mean in Coco Peat?
EC (Electrical Conductivity) measures the level of soluble salts in coco peat. High EC indicates excess salts such as sodium, potassium, and chlorides, which can damage plant roots and interfere with nutrient uptake.
In agriculture, EC is measured in mS/cm. The lower the EC, the safer the growing medium.
2. Why Low EC Coco Peat Is So Important
- Prevents root burn and osmotic stress
- Allows precise nutrient control in hydroponics
- Improves seed germination rates
- Meets strict import regulations (EU, Australia, USA)
- Ensures consistent crop performance
3. Standard EC Levels in Coco Peat
| Type | EC Level | Recommended Use |
|---|---|---|
| Unwashed Coco Peat | 1.2 – 2.5 mS/cm | Animal bedding, soil conditioning |
| Washed Coco Peat | 0.5 – 0.8 mS/cm | Horticulture, greenhouses |
| Low EC Coco Peat | < 0.5 mS/cm | Hydroponics, nurseries, export |
