Field residues are materials left in an agricultural field or orchard after the crop has been harvested. Agricultural residues include rice straw, wheat straw, rice husk, and corn stover, which are mostly left on the fields after harvests and used for fodder and landfill material or burnt in many places. The residue can be ploughed directly into the ground, or burned first. Agricultural residues are readily available and inexpensive renewable lignocellulosic fibre resources that can be used as an alternative to woody lignocellulosic biomass. These residues have similar structure, composition and properties to those of other plant fibres and make them suitable for composite, textile and pulp and paper application.
