About Partial Stubble Burning:
- After harvesting, farmers opting for partial burning let the loose straw dry for a couple of days and then they set these dumps on fire to prepare the field for the next crop.
- In such cases, the standing stubble, which is mostly green, does not get burnt fully but it gets scorched close to those places in the field where loose straw is burnt.
- And in the case of air pollution, it will be around 40-50% less as they only burn around 50% to 60% of the total stubble in such cases.
Stubble management machines:
- The state has distributed 1.05 lakh stubble management machines and a large number of individual farmers and groups of farmers have purchased these machines on subsidy.
- Farmers who do not have these machines but want to manage the stubble, get these on rent from farmers groups and cooperative societies.
- However, even after having three main machines such as Happy Seeder, Smart Seeder and Super seeder, many farmers are resorting to partial burning.
- The three machines ensure that there is no need for partial burning even after harvesting as stubble clearing is not required to sow wheat.
