Ohio Farmers Told Not to Burn Crop Residues
Ohio State University agronomist Earl Jones warns that burning corn stalks and soybean straw destroys soil nitrogen and organic matter. Plowing down residues boosts oat yields by about seven bushels per acre and helps retain soil moisture, while residues are valued at 2.80 to 385 dollars per ton when incorporated. Burning is unnecessary for corn borer control with deep plowing, and mulch from stalks aids seedings. other notes mention Japan’s power shortage and variations of Aladdin across Europe and Asia.
