Abstract

The popularity of terrace gardening has led to a growing interest in various methods for growing plants, including the use of organic fertilizers. One such method is to grow plants using pith cake in conjunction with soil. Pith cake is made from coconut husk and is a versatile growth medium that has a high porosity and a good water retention capacity. Bagasse, a fibrous substance made from sugarcane, is another material that has potential for use in the growth of plants. Energycane, a hybrid sugarcane species, has a higher proportion of fiber compared to regular sugarcane and can be utilized in the manufacturing of cellulosic biofuel and as a feedstock. This review paper discusses the process of pith cake manufacturing, the advantages of using coco peat in gardening, and the chemical composition of energycane, sugarcane, and coir. The study finds that energycane and sugarcane have a higher cellulose content compared to coir, making them suitable for plant growth.
