“…According to [18], maize old stem and straw are an alternative source of feed. Therefore, maize straw is also a valuable resource for farmers [19]. The sales of maize were based on several grades or quality (Table 1).…”

Maize is one of staple food sources. The low productivity of maize at farm level tends to change the maize harvest time from old harvest time for food need into the young one for commercial need and feed purposes which is considered more profitable by farmers. This study aimed to determine the income and feasibility of maize farming by applying different harvest times. The study was conducted in 2020 in the dry land of Musi Village, Buleleng Regency, Bali with participatory rural appraisal (PRA) approach involving 30 farmers. Data collected included input and output of maize farming. Data analysis used partial budget analysis to determine income and feasibility of maize farming. The results showed that maize farming at early harvested has 2.1 times higher income than that at optimal maturity harvested. With R/C ratio of 1.74, maize farming at early harvested was more profitable and feasible. If the farming pattern is applied continuously, it will reduce the supply of maize as staple food reserve. Therefore, policies from local government and arrangement from farmers in maize farming are needed so that the interests of fulfilling the needs of staple food as well as increasing farmers’ income can still be achieved.

“…Most straw has been used in farms to reduce the entry of chemical fertilizers and increase crop yield (Tian et al, 2018). Studies have shown a positive effect of returning straw to improve soil organic matter, soil physical and chemical properties, increasing soil fertility and in some crops have improved growth and yield (Niu et al, 2015). Also, The combination of straw with soil increased soil water content and reduced nitrate leaching losses in the soil layer of 10–30 cm (Yang et al, 2018; Zhao et al, 2019).…”

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of biochar and wheat straw on nitrogen leaching and corn yield. Field experiment includes CO (control treatment), SM5 and SM10 (wheat straw with a thickness of 5 and 10 mm, respectively), ST5 and ST10 (wheat straw at a rate of 5 and 10 t ha−1 in combination with soil, respectively) and BT2.5 and BT5 (biochar at a rate of 2.5 t ha−1 in combination with soil). Results showed that the total amount of leached nitrate in BT5, SM10, BT2.5 and ST5 treatments decreased by 71%, 55%, 50% and 32%, respectively, compared to CO. Also, the increasing biochar application rate (BT5) led to enhance 28% in maize grain yield and reduce deep percolation, nitrate and nitrite leaching by 31%, 71% and 97%, respectively. Therefore, it seems that the use of bioshar and straw reduces nitrate leaching, improves soil moisture conditions and increases corn yield.

“…Some countries like China have progressed in the comprehensive management of straw for different techniques such as fertilizer, livestock feed, for cultivation of edible fungus (mushroom), energy-oriented use (fuel), as industrial raw materials and for biological reactor technology [18,19], which has led to diversified development. China attaches great importance to straw resources with a comprehensive utilization rate of 80% or more [20].…”

The significance of this research is on maize, rice, sorghum, millet, groundnut, soybeans and cowpea straw for stronger sustainability in Ghana’s economic development. Quantifying and re-use of crop straw resources in Ghana is still at the infancy stage hampering the efficient recycling of these resources in a sustainable manner. Sustainability is straw as a renewable resource to improve soils, livestock production, generate renewable energy and reduce pollution for development. The aim of this research was to estimate the crop straw yield from 2006 to 2016 and identify the various utilization modes for major cereals and legumes in Ghana. In addition the distribution of maize, rice, sorghum and cowpea straw across major producing regions was calculated. Results obtained showed that 77,404,709.75 tonnes of cereals and legumes straw were produced in Ghana from 2006 to 2016. Cereal straw recorded a 72.3% yield whilst legume straw recorded 26.8%. Maize and groundnut straw recorded the highest yield of 37,323,264.16 and 12,495,288.96 tonnes respectively. Brong Ahafo region of Ghana had the highest maize straw yield with the Northern region recording readily availability of both cereals and legumes straw resources. The major re-use methods of straw in Ghana are as livestock feed, fertilizer, cooking fuel, for sale and as a substrate for mushroom production. We recommend strategies the government can adapt to develop policies geared towards the accurate recording of straw and their comprehensive utilization in Ghana. The efficient utilization of straw resources will reduce soil erosion, improve soil fertility, serve as feed for livestock, reduce pollution, generate biofuels plus generate employment to benefit the rural economy.
