Abstract

Fly ash emanating from the thermal power plant, Kasimpur, India, influenced various physicochemical properties of the soil, which were found favourable to the plant-growth parameters such as plant length, fresh as well as dry weights, net primary productivity, leaf area and photosynthetic pigments of bottlegourd and subsequently checking the root-rot incidence caused by root-rot fungus Rhioctonia solani. Incorporation of flyash into soil at 10% reduced the fungal growth by 25% and caused significant improvement in plant growth parameters.
