Abstract

Forty-two elements were determined in beans, cabbage, carrots, millet, onions, potatoes, and tomatoes grown on potted soil amended with 10% by weight of fly ash. Thirty-two elements were presente at higher total concentrations in the fly ash than in the so11 As, B, Ca, Cu, Fe, Hg, I, K, Mg, Mo. NI, Sb, and Se were higher in concentration in the edible portions of atleast three of the crops grown on fly ash amended soil as compared to the control crops. The extent of plant absorption of selenrim was roughly proportional to the rate of application of fly ash. The effect of the fly ash amendment on crop yields was variable
