Studies on the Effects of Fly Ash Treated Soil on the Increased Protein Contents in the Seeds of Glycine max (Soya Bean)

Abstract

The soil of Chhattisgarh State has been found to be of acidic nature, which is not conducive to plant growth and better crop yield. In the pot experiments, various proportions of fly ash and soil were used for soya bean plant growth observations. Soil and the fly ash were from Hasdeo-Bango Command Area and NTPC Korba, respectively. Various plant parameters, especially amino acid contents, showed improvement in the modified soil samples.
