· Abstract

Fly-ash (FA) is largely alkaline in nature and contains many essential elements for plant growth along with toxic metals. Therefore, fly-ash is potential to be applied as soil ameliorate that may improve soil properties and plant growth. In this experiment we studied the changes in chemical properties and rice production of acid sulphate soils amended with fly ash. Six different amounts ofF A, viz. 0 ( 100% soil), 5, 10, 20, 40 and 75 tones FA ha·' were added homogenously to 6 kg of soi ls in pots of PVC and then chemical properties of acid sulphate soils were observed after a 3-week of incubation. After the observation of soi l properties, rice was planted onto the pots. Results of study showed that fly-ash application improved soi l pH and exchangeable Ca. However, the availability of nitrogen of acid sulphate soils decreased significantly with fly-ash application. The experiment a lso showed that fl y-ash application to soil s improved rice growth (height plant, number of tille rs. dried-weight root and dried-\\'eight shoot) and rice production. Application 20 tones FA ha-1 resulted in higher rice production than the application 0, 5 and 10 tones FA ha-1, and jncreasing subsequent the amount of FA application did not significantly increase the rice production. Results of this study demonstrate that low-level fly-ash application resulted in the improvements of soil chemical properties and rice production.

Keywords: fly-ash application; soil ameliorant; heavy metals; sub-optimal low land

1. Introduction

Main problem in rice cultivation in acid sulphate soils is low productivity.

Data from the Department of Agriculture, South Kalimantan (2007) showed that rice

production in acid sulphate soils ranged from 3.14 to 4.30 tonnes per hectare. One of

the factors limiting the growth of rice in acid sulphate soils is low soil pH. The

observations in the province of South Kalimantan showed that the pH (H20 ) of the

acid sulphate soils ranged between 3.96 and 4.88 (Saidy et al., 2005). Low soi l pH

results in low availability of soil phosphorus, calcium, magnesium, potassium and

sodrum (Bohn et al., 2001 ), and this condition eventually result in unhealthy plant

growth. Improvements soil properties can be done by adding ameliorant material into

Page 8: PROCEEDING - ULM

428

the soil to increase soil pH and simultaneously improve the content of some nutrients

such as Na, Ca, K and Mg.

Fl y ash ( r-A), a coal combustion residue, is an amorphous terroalumino sil icate" ith

a matrix very similar to soil. Elemental composition ofF A (both nutrient and toxic

elements) varies due to types and sources of used coal (Comberato et al. , 1997).

Addition of FA to soil may improve the physico-chemical properties as well as

nutritional quality of the soil and the extent of change depends on soil and FA

properties. In view of the high cost of disposal and environmental management,

utilization of FA in agricultural sector could be a viable option. Its use in agriculture

was initially due to its liming potential and the presence of essential nutrients, which

promoted plant growth and also alleviated the nutrient deficiency in soils (Mittra et

al., 2005).

The disposal of fly-ash (FA) from coal-fired power stations causes significant

economic and environmental problems. Dumped FA may adversely affect the

environment by mobilization or 1ts hazardous constituents and thus contaminate the

surface and ground waters, soi ls and vegetation. Fly-ash is largely alkaline in nature , and contains many essential elements like Si , S, B, Ca, Mg, Fe, Cu, Zn, Mn and P.

Therefore, FA may be applied to soils as soi l amendment to improve soil properties

and thereby enhance plant growth and productivity. However, there is a lack of

evidence the use of fly-ash as soi I amendment. In this study, we examined the effect

of fly-ash application on changes in chemical properties and rice production on acid

sulphate soils.

2. Methodology

Fly-ash used for the experiment was collected from the Asam-asam Steam

Power Plant, South Kalimantan Province, Indonesia while soils for mixing with FA

were obtained from the Desa Tinggirian II Luar, Kecamatan Tamban, Kabupaten

Barito Kuala, South Kalimantan. Selected properties of acid sulphate ~oils used for

this study are presented in Table 1.

Page 9: PROCEEDING - ULM

429

Six amendments ofF A, viz. 0 (100% soil), 5, 10, 20, 40 and 75 tones FA ha-1

were added homogenously to 6 kg of soils in pots of PVC and then incubated for 3

weeks. After 3 weeks soils in pots were sub-sampled and analyzed for pH,

exchangeable bases (Na, K, Ca dan Mg), mineral nitrogen, and available P. The

usual farm practice of transplantation of 20-30 days old seedlings, grown m a

separate seedbed, was done at three seedlings per pot. Rice plants were kept in

natural conditions and irrigated with tap water to maintain water-logged conditions

avoiding leakage of water from pots. All the growth and yield attributing characters

were studied after the harvesting period of 120 days. Plant height (em) was measured

by a metric scale and number of tillers was counted manually. After this, plant parts

were partitioned into roots, leaves, straw and grains and then were washed with

double distilled water. Root biomass (g pof1), straw weight (g pof1

) and total grain

weight (g pof1) were determined on oven-dried at 60 °C basis.

The ANOVA procedure of GenStat 1 l1h Edition (Payne, 2008) was used to

dctennine the effect of treatment on changes in the chemical properties and plant

growth and production. In the case of significance in ANOVAs, means were

compared by the Least Significant Difference (LSD) muluplc comparison procedure

at P<0.05.

3. Results and Discussion

Results of analysis of variance showed that soi l pH, mineral nitrogen content

and the concentration of exchangeable Ca were significantly affected by the addition

of fly-ash. In contrast, fly-ash application to acid sulphate soi ls did not change the

content of exchangeable -Na, -K and - Mg, and available P.

Soil reaction (soil pH) in the soil without fly-ash application was 5.08,

increased to 5.31 'J5.48 with the application fly-ash 5 40 tonnes ha· ' and increased

again to 5.62 with fly-ash application of75 tonnes ha· ' (Figure I). Increased soil pH

occurs because fly-ash containing CaO and MgO, which reacted with 1-t ions to

neutralize soil acidity. The !:,'Teater the amount of tly-ash application, the greater the

amount of CaO anq MgO are given into the soils, thus the greater the change m soil

pH. Kishor et al. (2009) reported that the neutralization capacity of fl y-ash ranged

from 0.01 to 3.74 meq per gram H30 +. [ncreasing the pH of the soil in paddy soils

treated with fly-ash was also reported in several other studies (Clark et al. , 2001;

Hyup et al., 2006; Swain et al. , 2007; Sajwan et al. , 2007).

vertical bars represent standard deviation (n=3). Similar letters above columns indicate no

statistical difference between the treatments based on the LSD test at P <0.05.

Figure 1 also shows that the fly-ash application of 20 tonnes ha·1 yielded

exchangeable Ca that is not different from the soil without fl y-a h application.

However, when the amount of fly-ash application increased to 40 and 75 tonnes ha·1,

the concentration of exchangeable doubled than the soils without fly-ash application

(control), which only reached 15 cmol kg-1• Effect of coal ash on the exchangeable

Ca is due to the higher content CaO than the other cations (Na, K and Mg) of fly-ash,

so that when coal ash is added to soil, it will increase the availability of Ca in soils.

This is consistent with the study of Kishor et al. (2009) who reported that

exchangeable Ca is the most dominant cation in soils with fly-ash application.

Concentration of ammonium and nitrate decreased with an increase in the

amount of fly-ash application. Concentration of ammonium in the soil decreased

from 20.03 mg N kg-1 to 12. 15 mg N kg· 1 soil and concentration of nitrate decreased

from 63.61 mg N kg·1 soil to 42.83 mg N kg·1 soil with fly-ash application (Fig. 2).

These combinations resulted in reduction in total mineral nitrogen from 83.64 rng N

kg" 1 soil to 54.98 mg N kg-1 soil with the application of fly-ash (Figure 2). Decline in •

the mineral nitrogen with fly-ash application is due to increased gaseous N losses

through denitrification process with an increase in the amount of fly-ash application.

treatments based on the LSD test at P <0.05.

Results of variance analysis showed that fly-ash application influenced

significantly the growth and production of rice. Fly-ash application of 5 and 10

tonnes ha·1 improved plant height from 78 em to 92-94 em. However, when the

amount of fly-ash application increased to 20-75 tonnes ha-1, plant height did not

show significant increases with subsequent increasing the amount of fly-ash

application (Figure 3). Similar results were obtained for the number of tiller

variable. Without the fly-ash application, the average number of tillers reached only

3 plants per pot. Number of tillers plants increased significantly to 7 plants per pot

with the fly-ash application at the rate 5-10 tonnes ha-1 (Figure 3).

Root dry weight of rice plants with fly-ash applications up to the level of 20

tonnes ha-1 is no different from that without fly-ash application. which is in the range

of 1.5 to 3.5 grams per pot (Figure 4). However, when the amount of fly-ash

application increased to 40 and 75 tonnes ha-1, root dry weight of rice plants ,

increased to 5 grams per pot (Figure 4). In contrast to the root dry weight, stems dry

weight of rice with the treatment of 5-20 tonnes ha·1 fly-ash application increased to

9-13 grams per pot from 3 grams per pot at the treatment of without fly-ash

application (Figure 4 ). The highest root dry weight of plants was observed in the

treatment of 40 and 75 tonnes ha-1 fly-ash application (Figure 4 ).

Rice production also increased by fly-ash application_ Grain dry weight of

rice without tly-ash applicatiOn IS 3.5 grams of pof ', increased more than 200%

( 11 .4 g pof1) with 5 tonnes ha-1 of t1y-ash application. When the amount of fly-ash

Page 14: PROCEEDING - ULM

application increased to 20 tonncs ha·', grain dry weight increased by 280% ( 13.4 g

pof 1) . Moreover, there is an increase by 300% in the grain dry-weight ( 14.5 g pot- I)

with 75 tonnes ha·' of tly-ash appl ication (Figure 5).

Increases in the growth and production of rice were attributed to increasing the

amount of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium absorbed by rice. Nitrogen uptake by

ri ce in the treatment of without fly-ash application was 84.39 mg N pof 1, increased

by I 6-38% with 5-75 tonnes ha·' of fly-ash application. Phosphorus and potassium

uptake by rice increased by 6-70% and 17-128%, respectively, with the similar

amount of fly-ash application (data not shown).

Increase in nutnent uptake followed by increase in the growth and production

of rice may due to changes in the characteristics of the soil with the application of

fly-ash. The addition of fly-ash to soils accelerate the process of mineralization of

organic matter (Khan and Khan, 1996), thus increasing the availability of njtrogen.

Lee et al. (2007) in the study of changes in the availability of P in soils with 120

tonnes ha·' of fly-ash application in South Korea reported that the increase in Pin the

from 4.43 at the treatment without fly-ash application to pH 5.22-5.41 with the fly­

ash application. Study conducted by Swain et al. (2007) also showed that the fly-ash

application increases the uptake ofN, P a:nd K by 106-149% .

-t. Conclusion and Implication

Observations on soil chemical properties after fly-ash application showed that

the addition of the fly-ash can increase the soi l pH, in which increased the amount of

fly-ash application to the soil will be followed by increases in soil pH. This result

implies that the fly-ash is potential to be used as an alternative lime for soil

improvement properties to increase biomass production. Results of the study

demonstrated that among the exchangeable cations observed, only exchangeable Ca

increased significantly with fly-ash application, indicating that fly-ash can be used as

a source of Ca for improvement of soil properties. The application of fly-ash also

increases the growth and yield of rice.
