Description 255-263
Burning of paddy straw in the field is a national issue nowadays. Many researches have been taken up for efficient
utilization of paddy straw at national and international level. But the use of paddy straw for various applications is known
since ancient days. The application of paddy straw varies from region to region. Therefore, an attempt has been made to
collect information on the traditional uses of paddy straw and its management in the Northeastern states of India particularly
Manipur. The information has been collected through review of literature and interaction with the villagers. The study
revealed that the people of this region used paddy straw for different purposes such as thatching, wall construction, cattle
feed, animal bedding, fuel, mulching, mushroom cultivation, handicraft products, extraction of substrate from straw ash and
preparation of fermented beverages. This traditional knowledge on the utilization of paddy straw can provide an idea for
scientific exploration for better and efficient uses in various fields
