An Overview on Paddy Crop Residue Decomposition: A Biochemical Analysis of the Process

Abstract

The most common crop in India is rice, which is grown on 43 million planted  hectares and produces 746 million tones of grain annually. Due to the fact that  straw accounts for 50% of the dry weight of the rice plant, a tremendous  amount of straw is produced as a byproduct of rice farming each year. We  produce 65% of our biomass on land, according to estimates. Lignin is the most  prevalent natural polymer of that biomass after cellulose and a significant  renewable supply of aromatic carbon on earth. Since lignin, cellulose, and  hemicelluloses make up the structural elements of higher land plant vascular  tissues, the biodegradation of these elements is a crucial step in the recycling of  terrestrial biosynthetic carbon. This study focus on biochemical analysis of  decomposition of paddy straw and find out different fungi present in soil after  decomposition.
