Effect of flood and drip irrigation and difference of previous crop residue input on morphological and physiological traits in rice root

open access: yesPlant Production Science, 2023
Detailed information on the root system under drip irrigation will help in more efficient irrigation scheduling. Although input of previous crop residues is effective in increasing soil fertility, little is known about its effect on the root system. This

Environmental and Health Impacts of Crop Residue Burning: Scope of Sustainable Crop Residue Management Practices

open access: yesInternational Journal of Environmental Research and 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 ...

Generating cost price for crop residues [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Central European Agriculture, 2019
Considering growing interest and potential for biomass energy production as an alternative to imported oil and as a mode of reducing environment pollution, there is a demand for calculating the economic justification of using crop residues for increasing

Mineralisation of catch crop residues and N transfer to the subsequent crop

open access: yesScience of The Total Environment, 2022
Catch crops (CC) are widely used to reduce nitrogen leaching from arable cropping systems. However, the mineralisation rate of different catch crop species, and the fate of the mineralised N remain unclear. In this study, we performed an analysis, based on N mineralisation incubation experiments, to test and parameterise a simple mineralisation model ...

Crop Residue Management in India: Stubble Burning vs. Other Utilizations including Bioenergy

open access: yesEnergies, 2021
In recent studies, various reports reveal that stubble burning of crop residues in India generates nearly 150 million tons of carbon dioxide (CO2), more than 9 million tons of carbon monoxide (CO), a quarter-million tons of sulphur oxides (SOX), 1 ...

The influence of field crop rotations on the accumulation of crop-root residues in the arable layer of sod-podzolic soil

open access: yesАграрная наука Евро-Северо-Востока, 2019
The aim of the research is to take a comparative assessment of the amount of plowed down plant residues in various field crop rotations in the conditions of the Republic of Mari El.

Population dynamics of Alternaria solani, Cercospora beticola, Ramularia beticola, and Stemphylium beticola in residues of host crops, non-host crops, and weeds in Dutch rotation systems

open access: yesFrontiers in Agronomy
Crop residues colonized saprophytically by necrotrophic plant pathogens are an important primary inoculum source for epidemics of foliar diseases. Residues of crops, weeds, and litter were systematically sampled in a complex crop rotation experiment ...
