“…The increase in phenolic compounds in all treatment studied was reported due to metal Cd stress in plant Erica andevalensis [6]. Similarly, ethanolic leaf extracts prepared from Calendula officinalis grown at different treatments of fly ash added to soil showed maximum content of phenolic and flavonoid obtained at 60% fly ash treatment when compared to other treatments [7]. The above results showed positive correlation in between total phenolics and flavonoids contents with metal(loid)s like As, Co, Fe, Mn, and Zn in leaves of Calendula officinalis.…”

“…Notably, the rate of application of fly ash compost yielded soils exhibiting significant disparities amongst each other. The characteristics of ash in agricultural soils are subject to variations, influenced by soil type, plant species, and the origin and of ash [32], [33] , underscoring the need for effective management strategies for ash utilization in agriculture.…”

Mangroves have been degraded and converted for decades due to a multitude of factors, ranging from human activity to natural perturbations such as disasters and global warming. Experiments were conducted to determine the impact of fly ash (FA) on the growth of Rhizophora apiculata Blume's (R. apiculate). A completely randomised design (CRD) was employed with D as the control, and nine treatment soil amendments were created from abandoned shrimp pond sediment with rubberwood fly ash (RWFA). These amendments were made by mixing three separate FA samples (A, B, and C) in the ratios of 75:25, 50:50, and 25:75, respectively (A1-A3, B1-B3, and C1-C3), using a total of 200 R. apiculata specimens. The experiment revealed that the addition of FA and its combination had a significant effect on promoting the growth of R. apiculate and improved nutrient availability and retention in the soil. The results of the experiment demonstrate that the effect of Fly Ash (FA) and its combination significantly influence the growth of R. apiculate, impacting the total heights and number of leaves. The most beneficial effect the results of the experiment demonstrate that the effect of fly ash (FA) and its combination significantly influence the growth of R. apiculate, affecting the total height and number of leaves. The most beneficial effects were observed when the optimal proportion of each type of soil amendment was used. The study holds substantial benefits: it introduces a method for improving the soil of shrimp farms through the utilisation of rubberwood fly ash (RWFA) and serves essential nutrients to mangroves. Moreover, implementing this plantation technique can aid in protecting against coastal erosion.
