Özet

Abstract: Crop residues consist of stubble, stalk, straw, glume, leaves etc. which are remaining on the soil. They prevents soil erosion and moisture loss. They are effective for conservation sustainable soil productivity and soil quality. Crop residues are burned for the reasons such as reducing the cost of tillage after harvesting and threshing, making easier for the operation of agricultural tool and machinery, preparing seedbed in a short time at the second crop production, combating some diseases, harmful insects and weeds, increasing field emergence and crop yield. Fines to the stalkers are insufficient in our country. The simplest solution is two layer-ploughing of the soil with the mouldboard plough skimmers. Instead of conventional tillage, reduced tillage, mulch till, ridge till, strip till and no-till techniques should be preferred. Another recommendation is to breake the crop residues into pieces with stalk choppers and spread it on the soil surface or to mix into the soil. Additionally, the stalks which are trhown from straw walker  could be broken in to pieces by straw chopper on combine-harvester. Broken stalks can be distributed on the surface of the field or collected in tractor trailer. The stalks on field surface can be baled with the bale machines. In this study, the information was given about various mechanization applications preventing the burning of crop residues.

Key words: Bale machine, crop residue burning
