containing about 1.90 million Mg of nutrients, are available in the IGP of India (Sarkar et al., 1999). In the Rice (Oryza sativa L.)–wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) farmers in Indian Punjab alone, about 12 million Mg of rice straw India burn or remove residues to facilitate seedbed preparation. Incorare burned annually, which causes about 0.7 million Mg poration of residues before planting of the...

Biomass burning covers open fires (forest and grassland fires, crop residue burning in fields, etc.) and biofuel combustion (crop residues and wood, etc., used as fuel). As a large agricultural country, China may produce large quantities of mercury emissions from biomass burning. A new mercury emission inventory in China is needed because previous studies reflected outdated biomass burning with...

Fly ash is a by-product from burning of coal. Utilization fly by carbothermic reduction an effective way to recover aluminum, silicon, and iron enhance product-added value. This work focused on the phase transformation Al2O3, SiO2 Fe2O3 during in air. A comparative analysis air nitrogen was made. Thermodynamics performed illustrate possible reactions for residue condensate. X-ray diffraction (X...

Residue management has become a new challenge for Indian agriculture and agricultural growth, as well environmental preservation. The rice-wheat cropping system (RWCS) is predominantly followed in the Indo-Gangetic plain (IGP), resulting generating large volume of residue. Annually, India produces 620 MT crop residue, with rice wheat accounting 234 surplus 30% total. Farmers are resorting to bu...

Pineapple production around the world creates large amounts of wasted organic residue, mainly in form pineapple leaves. Current management practices consist situ decomposition or burning, both which cause proliferation flies and air pollution, respectively. The research conducted aims to develop a utilization process for this residue. Considering that leaves are rich carbohydrates other nutrien...

Research was conducted on silt-loam Alfisols at the Pine Tree Branch (PTBS) and Cotton Branch (CBES) Experiment Stations. Prior to the initiation of this study, both study locations were cropped under CT; thus the results of this study represent a short-term NT history. Previous crops were sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L.) and soybean at PTBS and CBES, respectively. The research area was established...
