India produces about 500 million tonnes (Mt) of crop residues annually. Paddy is the major crop of
Punjab and Haryana states of India and is being cultivated in an area of about 300 million ha and 1.35
million ha, respectively. Paddy straw produced is not preferred as animal feed due to high silica
content. Burning of paddy straw in field is a major challenge in Punjab and Haryana agriculture today
as it contributes to reduced air quality and human respiratory ailments in intensive rice-production
areas. Therefore, evaluation and popularization of technologies at farm level need concentrated
efforts of researchers through farmers’ participatory approach of technology evaluation and
dissemination.
