Tea plantations in Sri Lanka aim to boost production by intensifying replanting and new planting efforts. However, producing tea plants remains a major challenge, particularly when using soil pots, due to limitations in key inputs such as soil availability and labor.

Jiffy Pellets are also easier to handle and transport in comparison to traditional soil pots. Higher rooting success and healthier plants led to increased and reduced waste.
Dr. M. A. B. Ranathunga, an expert on tea growth at the Tea Research Institute, conducted scientific research on Jiffy Pellets. He talks about the advantages: “The use of the pellets eliminates the need for soil and fumigation while being highly convenient and space-efficient.”
“Using the coir pellet is much easier than using soil pots, as it is easier to carry and work with. It simplifies the work – there is nothing to worry about!” says Manmohan, a nurseryman who conducted a small trial.
