Abstract:

The middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River feature a humid climate, fragmented farmland, and intensive cropping systems. These natural and agricultural conditions pose common challenges to the comprehensive utilization of crop straw in this region. By using Ningbo, China, as a case study, an in-depth analysis was conducted into the current status and prominent issues in local straw utilization, and a series of countermeasures were put forward, including establishing a mechanism for controlled burning of straw, promoting scientific straw return to fields, fostering and scaling up straw utilization enterprises, and improving the straw collection, storage and transportation system, to provide reference for improving the level of comprehensive straw utilization in the region, thereby facilitating the coordinated advancement of ecological conservation and agricultural development.

Key words: middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, crop straw, current status of comprehensive utilization, existing problems, countermeasure and suggestion
