Abstract
The present study was carried out in eight districts of Haryana state. The outcomes of the study were explained after completing a field survey in which a total of 480 farmers (60 from each district) were interviewed using a well-structured interview schedule. The results were visualized that in comparison to manufacturing industries and renewable energy production, respondents in the study had a high level of awareness about the possible use of straw in agriculture especially in live-stock feeding and in making of compost and vermi-compost. They were also well aware about the use of straw in paper making and in bio-fuel production. The major constraints reported were ‘straw of paddy delay in wheat sowing’, ‘non-availability of suitable technology’ and ‘high cost of residue management machines’. Management constraints were ranked first among the various types of constraints, followed by financial and then technical constraints. Farmers were also aware about benefits of straw management i.e. straw management helps in controlling carbon emission and improving soil health.
