Burning rice straw after harvest can easily lead to wildfires.

Burning rice straw after harvest can easily lead to wildfires.

Burning rice straw after harvesting is a long-standing farming practice. Many believe this method helps eliminate pathogens and replenish nutrients in the soil.

However, according to experts, burning rice straw in the fields disrupts the ecological balance, and if done for many consecutive years, it can cause the soil to become barren and infertile. In addition, the burning process generates a large amount of smoke, causing environmental pollution. Furthermore, burning rice straw increases the risk of wildfires, especially during hot weather like the present.

Burning straw causes environmental pollution.

Currently, straw has many benefits such as mulching crops and vegetables, growing mushrooms, feeding livestock, or processing into organic fertilizer. Besides selling dry straw, farmers can also plow it under to allow the straw to decompose naturally and improve soil aeration.

Therefore, farmers need to choose effective alternatives to burning rice straw after harvesting, contributing to the development of green and sustainable agriculture .
