“…The amendment of agricultural soils with FA improves soil pH, permeability, electrical conductivity, porosity, and water-holding capacity of the soil [9,29,32]. Because of its soil ameliorating properties, FA has [2,32] been successfully tested for the yield improvement in various crops including Indian mustard, radish [33], safed Musli [12], rice [5], wheat [23], turnip, onion, garlic, potato, and carrot [38].…”

A pot experiment was conducted under net house conditions to study the ameliorative role of different levels of fly ash as a soil amendment, on the growth markers, biochemical attributes, and the antioxidant enzyme activity of beetroot. Seeds of beetroot were sown in earthen pots containing growth substrate, consisting of field soil amended with different levels of fly ash (0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, and 25% weight/weight). Beetroot grown in 15% fly ash-amended soil had significantly (p ≤ 0.05) higher plant growth and pigment content as compared to the control. With the improvement in nitrate reductase activity, the contents of total protein and carbohydrate also increased significantly at 15% fly ash. The proline content and the total antioxidant activity of beetroot increased significantly with increasing fly ash levels. The elevated levels of proline and antioxidant activity might be responsible for scavenging the oxidative stress caused by the higher concentration of fly ash in the soil. The principal component analysis presented significant correlations among the various considered parameters. Two principal components explained a total of 97.12% overall data variability in plants treated with different levels of fly ash. Therefore, this work suggests that the application of fly ash as a soil amendment is suitable to improve the growth and yield of beetroot.

“…Further high FA application (80% and 100%) causes a signi cant (P < 0.05) drop in protein content in leaves in a growth-dependent manner. It has been observed that the high protein content occurs due to the synthesis of additional stress shock proteins and stimulating biochemical changes in plant cells because of increased heavy metal stress (Sharma and Singh 2019). But this study revealed that at high application of FA in soil, the protein level was found to be decreased in the calendula leaves (Fig- 2B).…”

Phytoremediation of fly ash (FA) deposits using metal tolerant plant species has become an important eco-friendly technique for reclamation nowadays. The present study was carried out to determine the impact of FA application on photosynthetic pigments (chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, total chlorophyll, and carotenoids), biochemical parameters (soluble protein, reducing sugar, nitrate and nitrate reductase (NR) activity), metal accumulation (Fe, Zn, Cu, Co, Cd, Cr, and Mn) and antioxidant defense activity (SOD, CAT, POD, and APX) of Calendula officinalis. With this aim in mind, under pot culture conditions, Calendula officinalis was grown in different combinations of FA and soil which include: Control, 10%, 20%, 40%, 60%, 80%, and 100% FA. The results from the study indicated that the addition of FA (40%) in soil not only improved the physico-chemical properties of soil but also increased the photosynthetic pigment and other biochemical parameters in plants, however, these parameters declined under high FA applications. On the other hand, antioxidant enzyme activities (SOD, CAT, APX and Peroxidase) of Calendula increased with increasing FA application to combat heavy metal stress from fly ash. At high FA applications, antioxidant enzyme levels increased in leaves thereby reflecting heavy metal stress and mitigation of reactive oxygen species.
