Causes of Emissions from Agricultural Residue Burning in North-West India: Evaluation of a Technology Policy Response
Published By: SANDEE on eSS | Published Date: January, 20 , 2012The burning of agricultural field residue, such as stalks and stubble,
during the wheat and rice harvesting seasons in the Indo-Gangetic
plains results in substantial emissions of trace gases and particles. This
pollution can have adverse health and climate impacts. A representative sample of farmers from the seven districts of Punjab is used
to identify the determinants of emissions from open-field burning of
rice residue. [SANDEE Working Paper, No 66–12]. URL:[http://www.sandeeonline.org/uploads/documents/publication/962_PUB_Working_Paper_66_Ridhima_Gupta.pdf].
