Dispersion is essential in crop residue application [version 3; peer review: 2 approved] [PDF]
F1000Research, 2020 Background Crop residue application can maintain soil fertility and sustain agriculture. However, the effects of residue application are unstable because of variable weather conditions and the residual effects of crop residue application.

To burn or retain crop residues on croplands? An integrated analysis of crop residue management in China [PDF]
Science of the Total Environment, 2019 Crop residue burning influences human health and global climate change. In China-the world's largest crop residue producer-farmers burn almost one quarter of their crop residues in the field after harvest, despite the government providing financial incentives such as subsidies to retain crop residues.

Environmental and Health Impacts of Crop Residue Burning: Scope of Sustainable Crop Residue Management Practices. [PDF]
Int J Environ Res Public Health, 2022 The burning of crop residue in the open field has become a significant concern for climate change mitigation efforts worldwide. This practice has led to air quality impairment, smog, haze, heat waves, and different health problems. These could be avoided by adopting sustainable crop residue management practices (SCRMPs) and enabling farmers to engage ...
