Abstract
The present paper deals with the study of starch content of wheat plants. Wheat plants grown with cyanobacteria (Anabaena and Nostoc) mixed with the optimized fly ash and changes in starch content were investigated. A pot experiment was conducted to study the effect of cyanobacteria (Anabaena and Nostoc) mixed with fly ash on starch content of the wheat plant. With this biofertilizer starch content of wheat plant get increased. Addition of this biofertlizer to the soil in different doses improves starch content and it is beneficial for wheat plant. Experimental observation revealed the best result in wheat with12% fly ashmixed with 40% of Anabaena and60% of Nostoc. Improvement in the growth of wheat plants was observed. This study revealed that cyanobacteria mixed with fly ash have an excellent potential to increase the Starch content of wheat. This is also helpful in reducing, use of chemical fertilizers in agriculture.
