Substitution of either ponds silt or farmyard manure by fly ash caused slight adverse effect on germination and initial growth of Hardwickia binata. However, it experienced less water deficit and had higher leaf turgidity compared to control. By ninety days H. binata seedlings recorded better growth and were also better adapted than standard 2:1:1 sand : silt: FYM mixture.
