Which of the above statements are correct?
The correct option is C c) Both 1 and 2
- Stubble burning is, the act of removing paddy crop residue from the field to sow wheat.
- It’s usually required in areas that use the ‘combine harvesting’ method which leaves crop residue behind.
What is combine harvesting?
Combines are machines that harvest, thresh i.e separate the grain, and also clean the separated grain, all at once.
The problem, however, is that the machine doesn’t cut close enough to the ground, leaving stubble behind that the farmer has no use for.
There is pressure on the farmer to sow the next crop in time for it to achieve a full yield. The quickest and cheapest solution, therefore, is to clear the field by burning the stubble
