use of coconut water as manure

[SCORPIO]

Coconut water is also used in earlier days in the process of Tissue culture of aquatic plants due to high nutrition values.

Will you try it in your tissue culture project?

[juanico]

is there any list available on the content of coconut water?
it is sterile and contains minerals...but how many and which ones?
does it also have makros?

This is getting seriously interesting (* _ *) !!!

i think these are the ingredients which are interesting for us...so the coconut water serves as micro + K + P supplier, right?
not bad at all.

another question...what do the % of each mineral mean?

these are good but what about the carbohydrates, sugars and Protiens that it also contains.

ah, ok, thanks

wild guess: are the carbohydrates (e.g. C6H12O6) maybe even carbon-supplier? no idea, i failed badly in chemistry

Well since these are organic, majority of these will end up being broken down by the bacteria. Finally into Nitrates acting as an organic manure.
In a well cycled tank, shouldn't be a problem
But as far as benefits are concerned, I got no idea...
