Abstract:
A novel soil conditioner ‘Biosil’ was developed from fly ash discharged from thermal power plant through the process of magnetization. Field trials were carried out in Rabi season 2010-2011 on wheat cultivar GW-273 using Biosil doses from 150 kg/ha to 900 kg/ha in combination with recommended dose of fertilizers (RDF), keeping RDF control and vermicompost (VC) control. Biosil treatments improved the soil fertility and wheat productivity with 750-900 kg/ha being optimum for most of parameters. Production of wheat grains in Biosil treatment was 30% more than the RDF control. Maximum percentage increase under Biosil doses over RDF control in relation to plant population, plant height, number of leaves/plant, number of effective tillers, length of earhead, number of grains/earhead, test weight & straw yield were 13.33%, 4.85%, 65%, 50.51%, 6.52%, 26%, 10.98% and 20.77% respectively. Maximum grain and straw yields were 58.6 q/ha and 88.4 q/ha respectively at 900 kg/ha Biosil dose. VC control was superior to RDF control and over 150-450 kg/ha Biosil treatments in case of most of the parameters. However, long term field trials are required for recording maximum benefits of Biosil Treatment at these low doses.
