Measurement of Physicochemical Properties, Electrical and Thermal Conductivity of Wood Ash for Effective Soil Amendment

The ability of the soil to regulate heat energy is important for plant growth, texture and strength. Many agricultural soils are acidic in nature which tends limit growth microbial activity. Aside from lime, wood ash used amend physical physicochemical properties soil. To maintain hydraulic increase yield, it know used. physiochemical vary across various species. Ash samples seven different plants were this study. Horiba metre was measure electrical conductivity, pH, Total Dissolved Solid (TDS) salinity samples, while Lees Disc apparatus thermal conductivity samples. study revealed that moringa olieferra has highest salinity, TDS Electrical azadichta indica tiobroma cacoa have least pH. Also, Kyah seleelygalisis had lowest respectively.
