The present study has been undertaken to see the effect of fly ash application on the physiological parameters of Cowpea plant like Chlorophyll content and Proline content of plant. Photosynthetic pigments (Chlorophyll a, Chlorophyll b) content increased with addition of 10% fly ash, while decreased with addition of fly ash, without any amendment while Carotenoids content increased with addition of 30% fly ash, without any amended. It was also observed that Proline accumulation was more in 20% and 30% fly ash series as well as in combination with Cynodon in comparison to control. All other series showed a significant decrease in the Proline content. However the minimum Proline content was recorded in a series where soil was amended with Cynodon, 10% fly ash and inoculated with VAM fungi, PSF and nitrogen fixer (Rhizobium).
