Abstract
17Jul 2017 EFFECT OF FLY ASH APPLICATION ON THE CHLOROPHYLL AND PROLINE CONTENT OF COWPEA (VIGNA SINENSIS VAR. KANCHAN) PLANT. Pallavi Rai and Harbans Kaur Kehri. Department of Botany, University of Allahabad, Allahabad.
Highlights
The minimum Proline content was recorded in a series where soil was amended with Cynodon, 10% fly ash and inoculated with
Photosynthetic pigments (Chlorophyll a, Chlorophyll b) content increased with addition of 10% fly ash, while decreased with addition of fly ash, Key words:VAM fungi, Carotenoids, Chlorophyll, Cowpea, Cynodon, Proline, Rhizobium without any amendment while Carotenoids content increased with addition of 30% fly ash, without any amended
Fly ash was collected from the fly ash dumping sites situated at IFFCO, Phulpur, 25°33’N, 82°6’E near Allahabad, Uttar Pradesh and the agriculture soil from Ganga basin region of Allahabad.(Plate 1,2) Characteristics of agriculture soil and fly ash used in the experiments are presented in Table-1
Summary
The present study has been undertaken to see the effect of fly ash Received: 3 May 2017 Final Accepted: 5 June 2017 Published: July 2017 application on the physiological parameters of Cowpea plant like Chlorophyll content and Proline content of plant. The minimum Proline content was recorded in a series where soil was amended with Cynodon, 10% fly ash and inoculated with. Experimental Design: An experiment was setup in pots under greenhouse condition to assess the performance of both the crops raised in agriculture soil of Allahabad amended with organic matter (Cynodon 2% w/w), different concentration of fly ash (10, 20, 30%) and inoculated with consortium of VAM fungi, PSF and Rhizobium alone as well as in combination. 15% fly ash amended soil showed increase in photosynthetic pigments and total protein content is might be due to presence of high amount of K, Mg, Fe, Mn and P (Canjura et al, 1991; Rai et al, 2002; Khan and Khan, 1996; Gupta et al, 1999; Sinha et al, 2013). The minimum proline content was recorded in a series where soil was amended with Cynodon, 10% fly ash and inoculated with VAM, PSF and nitrogen fixer.
