Abstract

A study was made on the possibility of using non-traditional materials from industrial production (fly ash and coke breeze) in order to involve them in the technological cycle of creating soils for growing cultivated plants in greenhouse conditions. Poor soddy-podzolic soil was used as the basis for creating the soil mixture. The objects for the study were the plants of common pea and white lupine. The experiment was carried out at full light culture in a closed grow tent. The total duration of the experiment was 35 days. The impact of additives was assessed by the dynamics of changes in the biometric characteristics of the resulting biomass (length and weight of shoots and roots). The addition of fly ash and coke breeze in small percentages did not lead to a significant stimulation of the biomass of cultivated plants. Therefore, it is too early to draw an unambiguous conclusion. However, the introduction of additives in small doses, up to 10–20%, may, in the future, affect the savings of mineral fertilizers and the amount of other components modifying the substrate.
