Crop residue burning in South Asia: A review of the scale, effect, and solutions with a focus on reducing reactive nitrogen losses

Muyang Lin et al.

Summary: This paper reviews the literature on crop residue burning in South Asia, focusing on the scale, environmental implications, drivers, and remedies of this widespread practice. Studies have shown that crop residue burning is a major contributor to atmospheric pollution in the Indo-Gangetic Plain (IGP), leading to soil degradation, erosion risk, and increased soil temperature. The main reasons for farmers to engage in this practice are the high cost and labor required for alternative methods of incorporating, collecting, transporting, and processing crop residues. To address this issue, promoting the use of agricultural machines, adopting in-situ practices, changing crop varieties, and raising awareness are crucial steps.

Nexus Between Crop Residue Burning, Bioeconomy and Sustainable Development Goals Over North-Western India

V. Venkatramanan et al.

Summary: Crop residue burning in India, especially in North-western India, has led to air pollution, greenhouse gas emissions, and declining soil productivity. This paper aims to estimate the emissions from crop residue burning, recommend interventions for crop residue management, and propose a bioeconomy model to sustainably manage crop residues. The study estimated that in 2017-18, a total of 516 million tonnes of crop residues were generated, with 116 million tonnes being burned, releasing various pollutants into the atmosphere.
