Other claims from this paper (8)
- Observation Fly ash had high alkalinity and metals but low N, P and humus compared with garden soil.
- Intervention effect Up to 10% fly ash significantly increased chlorophyll, carotenoids and proteins in pea.
- Intervention effect Up to 10% fly ash significantly increased pea biomass and overall growth.
- Observation Phenols and ascorbic acid concentrations peaked at 25% fly ash amendment.
- Observation Pea seeds had metal concentrations below permissible limits under all amendments.
- Observation Cd, Ni and Pb were retained below ground in pea plants.
- Observation Cu, Zn and Fe translocated to aboveground pea parts.
- Recommendation The authors propose pea as a metal accumulator for restoration of alkaline nutrient-poor wasteland.
