Improper disposal of straw harms the environment: Air pollution: Burning causes harmful gases to be released. Water pollution:Rotting causes accumulation of nutrients in water sources. Degradation of soil quality:Lack of decomposition of straw reduces soil fertility.
Mechanical management:Straw is cut into small pieces using straw choppers and balers. Incorporation into soil: Fertility can be increased by mixing straw into the soil. Biological decomposition: Use of straw in compost or vermicompost is beneficial. Alternative use:Use of straw in animal feed and mushroom cultivation. Bioenergy production:Use of straw for biogas and bioethanol production.
