8. Soilless growing media: exfoliated vermiculite is combined
with other materials such as peat or composted pine bark
compost to produce soilless growing media for the
professional horticulturalist and for the home gardener.
These mixes promote faster root growth and gives quick
anchorage to young roots. The mixture helps retain air, plant
food and moisture, releasing them as the plant requires
them
Seed germination: either used alone or mixed with soil or
peat, vermiculite is used to germinate seeds. Very little
watering is required. When vermiculite is used alone,
seedlings should be fed with a weak fertilizer solution when
the first true leaves appear.

10. Coco-peat : Soil conditioner
- Kerala soil lack clay content due to heavy rainfall
- Water retention capacity of soil very poor
- Ideal for potting mixture
- Saves irrigation water requirement
- Saves labor cost
- Crop safety
- Renewable source
- Extended bio-degradability
