Abstract: For a dimensional Cohen-Macaulay local ring $(R, \mathbf{m})$ we study the depth of the associated graded ring of with respect to an $\textbf{ m}$ -primary ideal in terms of the Vallabrega-Valla conditions and the length of $I^{t+1}/JI^{t}$ , where is a minimal reduction of and $t\ge 1$ . As a corollary we generalize Sally's conjecture on the depth of the associated graded ring with respect to a maximal ideal to $\mathbf{m}$ -primary ideals. We also study the growth of the Hilbert function.
