Crop Residue Management
Crop Residue Management refers to the practice of handling leftover plant materials after harvesting crops. This includes stalks, leaves, and roots that remain in the field. Proper management of these residues can improve soil health, reduce erosion, and enhance water retention.
Farmers can use various methods for crop residue management, such as incorporating the residues into the soil, leaving them on the surface, or using them for livestock feed. These practices help recycle nutrients, promote biodiversity, and can lead to better yields in future planting seasons.
