Priming effects are strong short-term changes in the turnover of soil organic matter caused
by comparatively moderate treatments of the soil. In the course of priming effects large …

Rice (Oryza sativa L.) and wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) are now grown in sequence on the
same land in the same year over 26Mha of South and East Asia to meet the food demand of …

Agricultural crop residue burning contribute towards the emission of greenhouse gases
(CO2, N2O, CH4), air pollutants (CO, NH3, NOx, SO2, NMHC, volatile organic compounds) …

This review reveals that crop residues of common cultivated crops are an important resource
not only as a source of significant quantities of nutrients for crop production but also affecting …

Rice residues are important natural resources, and recycling of these residues improves the
soil physical, chemical and biological properties. Management of rice straw is a major …

Any management practice that results in greater carbon (C) return to the soil, increases
stabilization of soil C, or reduces C losses may lead to soil organic carbon (SOC) storage in …

Combine harvesting technologies, which have become common in RWS (rice–wheat
system) in India, leave behind large quantities of straw in the field for open burning of …

Intensification of rice-based cropping systems in Asia has substantially increased production
of food and associated crop residues. The interval between crops in these systems is often …

Management of soil phosphorus (P), potassium (K) and sulfur (S) resources in intensive,
irrigated rice systems has received less attention than increasing cropping intensity and …

A 3-year field study was conducted to evaluate the effect of three tillage practices
