Abstract
Vegetables (bush beans, cabbage, carrots, onions, potatoes and tomatoes) and millet (Echinochloa crus-galli var. frumentacea) were grown in pots of soil amended with hard coal bottom ash and the magnitude of absorption of 23 elements by the plants was studied. At maturity, the crops were harvested and the edible portions collected for analysis. Results are tabulated. Most elements showed no consistent increase in concentration in the ash-grown plants. B, Cr, Mo, K, Na and Se were higher in at least 5 of the crops grown on ash-amended soil than the respective control crops. Toxic elements such as As and Cd showed no increase or only a modest increase in various of the plants grown.
