Abstract
Addition of coal fly ash (CFA), a by-product of Thermal Power Plants, with soil alters its physical and chemical properties. Few pot and field experiments were conducted to study the impact of bio modified CFA in cultivation of selected varieties of tomato and brinjal/egg plant fruit and physicochemical studies have been carried out for different composts obtained by successive replacement of CFA for soil/earth in constituents of original or reference compost. Cow dung and grass cuttings were used as organic manure. CFA obtained from Kota Super Thermal Power Plant was used. Increase in rate of growth and improvement in quality of product was observed with the increase in percentage of CFA.
