P.Das Mohapatra, S.M.Mustakim and B.B.Kar

In the present study an attempt has been made to understand the influence of fly ash on the growth of different plant species. In this regard a medium has been prepared using 1:1 soil: fly ash for conducting the study. The result obtained is compiled with different correlation methods. The plant species used in this study includes both aquatic and aromatic plants. During the study an attempt has been made to monitor the effect of fly ash on the growth of plants species in addition, study has been made to estimate the capacity of these plant species to absorb heavy metal.
