@AtishiAAP @DelhiWalks @Go_Movie_Mango @Redhotpedia @DalrympleWill Traditionally, rice was cut manually & straw collected for use as fodder & as well as bedding for the animals. This changed with the introduction of combine harvesters in the 1980s. Now, paddy could be cut & threshed in a single operation, but that left the straw on the ground.
@AtishiAAP @DelhiWalks @Go_Movie_Mango @Redhotpedia @DalrympleWill The combine harvester also cuts the crop 8 inches above the ground, thus leaving the more digestible stem stuck in the soil. The upper part, being high in silica, doesn’t make for good fodder especially when compared to the wheat residue and commercial feed.

If you really think stuble burning is destroying your health and environment , I have solution for you the amount you have put for corporate taxes cut we can use that amount as
Incentives for farmers for not to burn.

Like always Air Pollution becomes a topic of discussion when Delhi is facing it during crop fire season and it's eventually forgotten. Interestingly people also search for #AirPurifiers when #AirPollution also trends as shown in Google Search Trends Image
Along with private transport, industrial (including construction), power plants, Crop fires also play an important role in Delhi's pollution spikes.
