In this study, we estimate rice residue, associated burning emissions, and compare results with existing emissions inventories employing a bottom-up approach. We first estimated field-level post-harvest rice residues, including separate fuel-loading factors for rice straw and rice stubble. Results suggested fuel-loading factors of 0.27 kgm (±0.033), 0.61 kgm (±0.076), and 0.88 kgm (±0.083) for ...

The demand for sustainable alternative construction materials to cement in modern technology cannot be underemphasized. This paper presents a non-fired green brick with an agriculture residue namely, rice husk. Although, high plasticity brown clay deposits are widely distributed in Malaysia and rice husk is a well known agriculture residue, research works on non-fired green brick with rice husk...

A 3- years (2015, 2016 and 2017) field study was carried out at National Wheat Research Program, Bhirahawa, Rupandehi, Nepal to evaluate the influence of crop residues and nitrogen levels on rice. The experiment was conducted in split plot design with three replications. Main plots were two crop residue levels (with crop residues of 30 cm wheat stubble and without crop residues) and sub plots c...

an extraction method based on matrix solid phase dispersion (mspd) and high performance liquid chromatography with uv detection for quantification of two widely used pesticides (malathion and α-endosulfan) in khazar rice from north of iran were investigated. the ratio of solid phase (adsorbent) to sample, types of eluting solvent and its volume were optimized to achieve the highest recoveries f...

In current study, the effects of Iranian rice cooking method (Kateh) on residue levels of 41 pesticides were investigated. The pesticides were selected according to Iranian National Standards Organization (INSO) regulations and covered 18 permitted and 23 banned pesticides belonging to different chemical classes such as organophosphate, triazole, and carbamate. A 250 g portion of rice sample wa...

This paper identified the factors influencing the rice crop residue burning decision of the farmers and the potential of the burnt residue to generate electricity. For this study, data were collected from 400 farmers in the rice-wheat cropping system. Effects of different variables on the burning decision of rice residue are investigated through logit model. A number of factors had significant ...

Residue management in cropping systems is useful to improve soil quality. However, the studies on the effects of residue management on the enzyme activities and microbial community of soils in South China are few. Therefore, the effects of incorporating winter cover crop residue with a double-cropping rice (Oryza sativa L.) system on soil enzyme activities and microbial community in Southern Ch...

paddy rice residue covers more than 60000 ha of the khuzestan plain. high soil moisture content (low evaporation and heavy soil texture), time limitations, and the likelihood of rainfall make conventional tillage methods unsuitable for wheat cultivation after the rice harvest. the present study investigated the best residue management method, and fuel and time savings, to produce acceptable yie...

for the first time, a multi-residue methodfor simultaneous determination of 41lc-amenable pesticides in rice, belonging to different chemical classes has been developed in iran by lc-ms/ms. the pesticides were analyzed simultaneously in a single run using positive electrospray ionization with multiple reaction monitoring (mrm) after extraction with slightly modified quechers method. the calibra...
