Maize Straw Strip Mulching as a Replacement for Plastic Film Mulching in Maize Production in a Semiarid Region [PDF]
Sustainability, 2020 Straw strip mulching in maize (Zea mays L.) production is showing a positive effect with the increasing negative effects coming from crop straw and plastic film residues. Therefore, it is imperative to develop comprehensive utilization of straw, and promote the green development of agriculture in rainfed regions.

Cephalosporium stripe disease, crop yield and selected soil properties as influenced by straw management in a micro-plot experiment with winter wheat monoculture [PDF]
Journal of Plant Protection Research, 2022 Straw is a valuable by-product of crop production which can be used for various purposes (livestock feed and bedding, bioenergy). However, it should primarily be retained on farmlands to prevent soil organic matter (SOM) losses.
