Utilization of rice straw compost for strawberry and tomato production

Improper disposal of agricultural wastes caused environmental pollution and also waste a lot of valuable biomass resources which imperiled sustainable development and human health (Bin et al. 2016). Crop residue (residual stalks, straw, leaves, roots, husks, shell etc) are usually referred as “agricultural waste” because they are the byproduct of agricultural activities not the primary products. Many of the agricultural wastes are still largely underutilized and left to rot or open burned in the field, especially in developing countries (Sabiiti, 2011). Huge amount of rice straw is produced in rice based cropping system of Bangladesh. If rice straw is left in the field without proper management, it can cause the spreading of disease and can also encourage the breeding of pests. Rice straw is resistant to decay and can interfere with Abstract
