Crop residues are among the main inputs that allow the organic carbon (C) and nutrients to be maintained in agricultural soil. It is an important management strategy that can improve soil fertility and enhance agricultural productivity. This work aims to

Changes in chemical composition of cover crops residue during decomposition
: Crop residues decomposition are controlled by chemical tissue components. This study evaluated changes on plant tissue components, separated by the Van Soest partitioning method, during cover crop decomposition.

Production of indigenous mushrooms spawn using crop residues as substrates [PDF]
Indigenous oyster mushrooms occur naturally when conditions are favourable. Achieving good quality spawn is a major challenge to small-scale farmers in Kenya, who strive to domesticate indigenous mushrooms.

Obtaining more benefits from crop residues as soil amendments by application as chemically heterogeneous mixtures [PDF]
Crop residues are valuable soil amendments in terms of the carbon and other nutrients they contain, but incorporation of residues does not always translate into increases in nutrient availability, soil organic matter (SOM), soil structure, and overall ...

Roots contribute more to refractory soil organic matter than above-ground crop residues, as revealed by a long-term field experiment [PDF]
We revisited the well documented and ongoing long-term 'Ultuna continuous soil organic matter field experiment' which started in 1956 at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences.

A methodology for estimating the ammonia emission from crop residues at a national scale
Crops and crop residues contribute to pollution of the environment by ammonia (NH3) volatilization. This study focusses on the volatilization from crop residues, defined as residues after a management action or frost i.e.

Assessment of Rice Residues as Potential Energy Source in Pakistan
Pakistan produces enormous quantity of biomass wastes for example rice straw (RS) and rice husk (RH), wheat straw, and other biomass wastes that are being burned in the field after crop harvest to prepare the land for next crop.

Challenges of accounting nitrous oxide emissions from agricultural crop residues [PDF]
Crop residues are important inputs of carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) to soils and thus directly and indirectly affect nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions. As the current inventory methodology considers N inputs by crop residues as the sole determining factor for ...
