Abstract

Study was conducted on the effect of fly ash on the morpho-physiological characteristics of soil and Vigna mungo L. Results obtained reveals that the increasing proportion of fly ash in soil considerably increases the value and characteristics. Effect of these changes show positive changes on germination, plant length (like root length, shoot length), nodulation (like number of nodules, weight of nodules), and grain yield per plant of Vigna mungo L. All these were found to be favourably affected by fly ash induced changes in soil characters. Hence through the present study we can conclude that fly ash in moderate percentage can be a boon for sustainable agriculture.
