Abstract
Fly ash (FA), a coal combustion residue, has been recognized as a nutrient-enriched source, which can be used for improving the properties of barren soil along with crop yield. But the dose of FA in the agricultural field is still a matter of concern for scientific societies, because it varies crop to crop and soil to soil. Several studies showed that FA incorporation into soil up to a certain quantity is beneficial to the physicochemical and microbial properties of soil. Therefore the investigation on the safe utilization of FA for agricultural production is needed toward nature sustainability. Microbes are well known as a key driver to the fundamental processes of agroecosystem. A better understanding of the microbial activities in FA-aided soil is necessary toward the development of safe and sustainable agriculture. This chapter outlines the carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus mineralization, and enzyme activities in FA-aided soil.
