China is the major country in producing crops as well as in straw. Both high-efficient utilizing pattern of straw and technological system are needed urgently. We point out the status of straw utilization and the main recycling patterns in typical farming area in Sichuan China through the literature review and data collection, combined with field survey. Based on the statistical analysis, with the economic, environmental and social benefits of... |
