Abstract

Largest deposits of Fluorspar ore are available in the Ambadungar area of Kadipani in Vadodara district. Reclamation of Waste Mining land is a major problem. Plantation is the oldest technology available for the restoration of lands degraded by human activity. A study was conducted to find out the plant growth in nearby area and the size of leaves was compared with normal plants. The study included growing of maize and cowpea in soil containing different percentage of mining soil wastes. Biomass of seedlings and chlorophyll contents of raised plants will provide a clue whether plantation in mining land is possible or not. Physico-chemical properties and microbiological characteristics of soil were analyzed.
