Paddy straw collector-cum-chopper for in situ paddy straw management: A sustainable approach
International Journal of Recycling of Organic Waste in Agriculture, 2023 Purpose The study was devoted to conceptualize, develop and evaluate a collector-cum-chopper for in situ paddy straw degradation at the farmer’s field level. The intention was to increase the amount of straw cut at size below 5 cm for nutrient recycling.Method A paddy straw collector-cum-chopper comprised of three sub-systems i.e.

Effects of Rice Straw and Water Management on Riceland Mosquitoes [PDF]
Journal of Medical Entomology, 2006 Rice fields are important sources of mosquitoes in many regions, and rice (Oryza spp.) growing practices can affect mosquito populations. Rice straw incorporation and winter flooding have become common methods to prepare seedbeds, largely replacing burning of straw. These methods increase nutrients during the growing season.
