Abstract: A field experiment was conducted during the year 2016-17 at the Post Graduate Institute Research Farm, Mahatma Phule Krishi Vidyapeeth, Rahuri, to study the “Effect of fly ash and bagasse ash on soil properties, yield and quality of wheat in an Inceptisolâ€. The experimental soil belongs to Masala series of Inceptisol order (Vertic Haplustept), The soil was moderately alkaline with medium status of organic carbon and high in calcium carbonat content. Low in available N, medium in available P, very high in available K and deficient in Zn and Fe. Application of various levels of K2O through fly ash in soil noticed negative effect on physical properties of soil viz., increased in bulk density, COLE value and decreased in hydraulic conductivity of soil. Application of various levels of fly ash and bagasse ash significantly increased the pH and EC of soil at crown root initiation stage and at harvest stage. The organic carbon content in soil as influenced by application of fly ash and bagasse ash showed non significant results at all the growth stages of wheat crop.The highest agronomic efficiency was also observed to be highest in treatment of application of 50 kg ha-1 K2O through bagasse ash along with recommended dose of N and P2O5 through chemical fertilizer + 10 t ha-1 FYM (T7). The grain and straw yield of wheat was significantly higher (42.92 and 53.88 q ha-1) in treatment of application of 125 % K2O through bagasse ash along with recomonded dose of N and P2O5 through chemical fertilizer + 10 t ha-1 FYM. However, this treatment was at par with the application of fly ash and GRDF treatment.
