Abstract
Plants of two important crops of India, wheat (cultivar N-4) and gram (cultivar H-355) were dusted with 2, 4 and 6 g m−2 day−1 of fly ash for 45 days. Both crops showed an increase in the height of the plants, dry weight, and chlorophyll and carotenoid content. The higher dusting rates affected the photosynthetic pigment contents.
