Do not burn straw after rice harvest.

Although experts warn that burning straw causes environmental pollution, makes the soil infertile, and increases the risk of fire spreading, due to custom, farmers still use the method of burning straw after harvesting rice to clean the fields and prepare for the next crop.

Many farmers still burn straw after harvesting rice.

Burning rice straw after harvesting is a long-standing practice of farmers. Many people believe that this practice helps destroy pathogens and add some nutrients to the soil.

In fact, burning straw can kill some insects hiding in the stubble, cleaning up pathogens for the next crop; at the same time, farmers can take advantage of the ash after burning to provide a little fertilizer to increase soil fertility.

However, according to experts, burning straw in the fields will unbalance the ecosystem, and if burned for many consecutive years, it will cause the soil to become arid and infertile. In addition, the burning process also generates a large amount of smoke that pollutes the air, affecting human life.

In particular, burning straw also increases the risk of fire spreading, especially during hot weather like now.

Straw has many benefits such as covering the roots of crops, vegetables, growing mushrooms, making animal feed or processing into organic fertilizer. In addition to selling dry straw, farmers can also plow it to decompose the straw, making the soil fresh and porous. Therefore, farmers need to choose useful measures to replace burning straw after harvesting rice, contributing to building a green and sustainable agriculture./ .
