Abstract:

Fly ash enamated from the thermal power plant, Kasimpur, India improved various physicochemical properties of the soil, which were found favourable to the plant growth. Incorporation of fly ash soil at 10, 25, and 50% caused significant improvement in plant growth, net primary productivity, leaf area and photosynthetic pigments of cucumber.

Keywords: cucumber; fly ash; net primary productivity; photosynthetic pigments
