Title	Cash the Trash Not Available

Creator	Mona Nagargade, S K Shukla and A D Pathak

Subject	Bioenergy, Crop residues, ICAR-IISR, Sugarcane, Trash

Description	Not Available Sugarcane crop produces a huge quantity of residue (green leaves, dry leaves, and green top) after harvesting of cane. The common practice of farmers is either burning or removal of the crop residues from the field. The removal of trash from the field is a labor and time-intensive process. Rampant burning of trash to clean the field is the only solution in front of farmers. There is a need to convert waste into wealth to provide an alternative to residue burning. Sugarcane trash can produce series of value-added chemicals besides its field application. Field application of trash in the form of mulching enriches the soil organic carbon pool besides conserving essential elements. Trash mulching improves soil’s organic carbon content and ultimately, after recycling, add nutrient into the soil. Efficient utilization of trash reduces environmental pollution, sustains soil health, and provides economic gain to the farmers. Not Available
