Application of a method for managing rice residues in the context of the adoption of sound and innovative farming practices
Description
Rice residues returning to the soil as fertilisers
Sector
A1.6Support activities to agriculture and post-harvest crop activities
Needs/ Problem statement
Handling plant residues remaining in the rice fields after harvesting. Their burning was banned because of the reduction in organic matter and beneficial organisms. After producers complied, problems arose due to delayed assimilation of residues and the emergence of diseases.
Objective
Returning the rice residues to the soil to improve its structure and physico-chemical properties, preventing N losses, gas emissions and reducing synthetic fertilisers.
