Coal ash as a substrate in hydroponics: chemical and agronomical aspects

Abstract

Tomato plants were grown in hydroponics using pelleted fly and heavy ash as substrates. The water stability of the substrates and their ability in a nutrient solution to sorb or desorb ions have been studied. Both substrates showed a satisfactory stability to water treatments. Interactions between the nutrient solution and the substrates did not influence the ion uptake by tomato plants nor plant growth and productivity.
