Abstract

Bamboo leaf ash is a biomass residue with significant potential in agriculture due to its content of essential macro- and micronutrients, particularly silica (Si), calcium (Ca), potassium (K), magnesium (Mg), and phosphorus (P). This ash exhibits alkaline properties, with a pH ranging from 10 to 11, enabling it to increase the pH of acidic soils. The potassium content in bamboo leaf ash is notably high, exceeding 100,000 mg/kg, making it a promising nutrient source for plants. Moreover, the silica component strengthens plant cell structures and enhances resistance against pests and diseases. Bamboo leaf ash is also environmentally friendly, as it can be reintegrated into the soil, supporting the concepts of sustainable agriculture and a circular economy. This review aims to examine the chemical composition of bamboo leaf ash, its effects on soil fertility, and its influence on plant growth.
