Abstract

Proper remediation of fly ash is important as it is harmful for environment and human health due to the presence of metals. This study evaluated the effects of fly ash amended soil on two local species, namely Lantana camara and Ipomoea carnea, by growing it in different amendments (10%, 20%… up to 100%). Metal fractionation of fly ash showed that Ni, Cd and Mn had higher percentage in the soluble and exchangeable fraction. Plant height, leaf size, number of leaf and biomass of both the plants were substantially increased with the developmental stage. Chlorophyll activity increased with the developmental stage in L. camara and I. carnea. Peroxidase activity in L. camara and in I. carnea increased at 120 DAS. Metals accumulation in upper ground part of I. carnea and L. camara was more as compared to belowground part. It indicates phytoextraction strategy of both the plants. Both the plants performed reasonably well in terms of phytoextraction of metals. Moreover, the biochemical parameters indicated less stress and more tolerance towards metal contamination.
