ABSTRACT

For effective and safe management of fly ash, it was used as soil amendment along with recommended does of N,P,K and vermicompost (VC) for the cultivation of wheat. Its impact on yield parameters was recorded during the rabi, season (2013-2014). The experimental design was RBD with nine treatments, each replicated three times. Treatment T8 (20t/ha FA+5t/ha VC) was better than other treatments for protein, carbohydrate and starch. The grain yield was higher by 32% over control and other treatments. The overall results indicate the suitablitiy of fly ash for cultivation of wheat when used along with recommended does of NPK and vermicompost.

Key words : Carbohydrate, Fly ash, Protein, Starch, Vermicompost.
