Crop residue management consists of leaving crop residues on farmland after harvest. This reduces evaporation during the dry season. The decomposition of the residues contributes to improved soil fertility, while the underground biomass (roots) enhances soil structure. In the case of legumes, root nodules provide nitrogen for subsequent crops.
A Rice Field with Poor Drainage (RMME) is a cultivated rice field enclosed by embankments, relying on an irregular water supply, and facing potential water scarcity risks at the onset, during, or towards the conclusion of the cropping cycle. Specific rice varieties are particularly well-suited to this type of rice …
Contour farming involves cultivating the soil perpendicular to the slope, that is ploughing along the contour. This minimizes runoff-induced erosion.
