Coco Coir for Eggplant & Aubergine
Coir bags, slabs and container blends for eggplant or aubergine growers. Send the planting layout, transplant size and irrigation setup so a proposed format can be trialled against your current medium.
Greenhouse eggplant · trained production rows
FROM PROPAGATION TO PRODUCTION
Match the transplant to the production bag or pot.
01
Propagation
Identify the plug, potted transplant or grafted plant format supplied by your nursery.
02
Transplant
Provide the root-ball or block dimensions and how the plant is placed into the final growing medium.
03
Production
State plants per bag or pot, filled dimensions, support and the position of drippers and drainage openings.
04
Steering
Agree which irrigation, drain and crop observations will be used to compare the trial with your current substrate.
THE GROWER BRIEF
Send the eggplant layout and the change you need.
Crop: give the variety or market type, incoming transplant format, planting date and planned crop period.
Growing unit: include bag or pot dimensions, plants per unit, row support and drainage arrangement.
Current medium: describe the blend or send a sample, and explain any wetting, drainage or handling issue you want the trial to address.
Format choice: compare sleeved coir slabs with open-top bags against the layout and transplant routine at your site.

TRIAL BEFORE SCALE
What the grower should measure.
Use a defined trial area and record how the product was hydrated, the irrigation adjustments made and the drain observations. Keep the blend reference, bag drawing and treatment details with the results so a later order matches the format tested.
Irrigation inputs
Frequency, shot size, source-water EC and feed strategy.
Root-zone response
Drain or run-off, root-zone EC, wetting, rewetting and dry-back.
Crop response
Establishment, uniformity, root health, plant balance and marketable yield.
Commercial fit
Bag or pot geometry, handling, packing, trial volume and repeat-order plan.
GROWER QUESTIONS
Before the substrate trial.
Which coir blend is best for eggplant or aubergine in protected systems?
Begin with the container and irrigation routine you already use. Explain what needs to change and compare a proposed sample in that setup. The crop name alone does not specify the particle grades, treatment or filled dimensions you need.
Should the coir be washed or buffered?
That decision depends on crop sensitivity, source-water chemistry and the grower’s fertigation programme. Specify both processes separately.
What should an eggplant coir quotation include?
Send the plant and container details, plants and drippers per unit, required planting and drain openings, treatment specification and trial quantity. Include order quantity, packing, destination and target arrival window. Use the export checklist to define receiving and freight requirements.
