“…Previous studies have not found such a large portion of selling (e.g. Kumar et al, 2015;Kumar et al, 2023;Parihar et al, 2023;Sanjay et al, 2021), and due to the sensitivity of truthfully stating current use patterns (due to illegality of burning) and the disproportionate share of larger landholdings in our data, there is uncertainty about these numbers.…”

Circular economies can, at best, contribute to sustainable development. Nevertheless, the realisation of positive social and environmental impacts depends partially on the dynamics of actors' inclusion in circular processes. We identify factors affecting the inclusion of farmers in agricultural residue supply chains in India and the socio‐ecological impacts thereof. We also introduce a framework for designing inclusive and just circular practices. Information, resources, co‐operation, and co‐design act as mediators to socio‐ecological impacts. The failure to consider these aspects may lead to unintended negative consequences, such as declined soil health or delays in other operations. The positive outcomes of selling the residue are linked to improved livelihood opportunities, local development and health. Selling is only a partial solution, and other straw management methods, such as incorporation, should also be applied.

“…Agricultural residues are an abundant global resource with potentially multiple industrial applications (Kumar et al, 2023). In India and globally, much of this resource is burned, creating adverse effects for humans, animals and the environment (Abdurrahman et al, 2020; Parihar et al, 2023).…”

“…The faster the mineralization rate of the soybean straw during the development cycle, the higher the nitrogen release, which is bene cial for growth and development. The signi cant impacts on plant biomass are related to increased soil carbon input (Assmann et al, 2014), improved nutrient cycling, enhanced soil protection, and increased livestock feed biomass potential in integrated crop and livestock systems (Kumar et al, 2023). Increased yields also re ect an increase in plant residue in the soil, promoting more microbial input into the substrate and increasing the activity and diversity of soil microbial communities (Lane et al, 2022).…”

Aim Traditionally, increased crop yield has been supported by applying a large amount of chemical fertilizer. However, using excessive chemical fertilizers on soils diminishes soil fertility and crop yield while contaminating the ecological environment. Method To replace the fertilizer, microbial inoculants, and maize straws were introduced to the soil as environmental fertilizers in this study. During soybean cultivation, their effects on physicochemical properties, enzyme activity, and microbial community structure in the soil were investigated. Compared to fertilization alone, adding microbial inoculants mixed with maize straw (CSF) during soybean cultivation boosted agronomic traits such as soybean fresh weight, plant height, and stem thickness. Result This increased the physicochemical parameters of the soil, such as pH, available Potassium (AP), and water content, affecting the soil bacterial population. Bacteria abundance and diversity significantly increased, with acidobacter, Proteobacteria, Candidatus_ Solibacte, and Sphingomonas dominating. Redundancy analysis revealed that pH and AP were environmental factors that influenced microbial community structure. CSF boosted microbial diversity and community structure while increasing soybean yield from 3.91–5.46%. Conclusion In conclusion, soil improvement using maize straw and composite compound inoculants produced better outcomes. Our findings offer theoretical and experimental references for soil erosion.

“…The yield level per unit area must be raised because there is a limited amount of space (Wu et al., 2014). Due to controlled nutrient delivery, decreased losses, and cost reduction, the application of accessible organic sources in combination with the right amount of inorganic fertilizers ensures high and sustained productivity in a cereal–oilseed cropping system (Kumar et al., 2023). There is little information on the usage of organic manures, inorganic fertilizers, and bio‐fertilizers (NPK consortium) for maize crops or their long‐term impacts on sesame as a part of the maize–sesame sequence.…”

Increasing uses of nutrients have played a major role in increasing the food supply to a continually growing world population. However, excessive use of chemical fertilizers results in significant losses, inefficient utilization, and nutritional imbalance. However, poor soil management, inadequate nutrient application, and extreme weather conditions have all contributed to soil degradation. Prudent usage of integrated nutrient management (INM) is the greatest alternative to provide nutrients to crop needs and enhance soil conditions to repair the soil's nutrient depletion. To examine the impact of INM on the yield of rabi maize (Zea mays L.) and its lasting effects on succeeding summer sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) under irrigated conditions during 2019–2020 to 2021–2022 at College Agronomy Farm, Bansilal Amrutlal (B. A.) College of Agriculture, Anand Agricultural University, Anand, Gujarat, India, a field trial was conducted on loamy sand soil of Agro‐Climatic Zone–XIII, Gujarat Plains, and Hills region, India. The experiment was laid out in randomized block design with 3 replications and 12 treatments. The improved growth, yield, and protein content of the maize crop were obtained by the application of 75% recommended dose of fertilizer (RDF) + 25% recommended dose of nutrient (RDN) through vermicompost + nitrogen–phosporus–potassium (NPK) consortium (soil application). In the subsequent sesame crop, residual effects of 75% RDF + 25% RDN through farm yard manure (FYM) + NPK consortium (soil application) together with 50% RDF (50:25:00 NPK kg/ha) were reported, which led to higher crop growth and yield. Under the conditions of middle Gujarat, the application of 75% RDF + 25% RDN through the FYM + NPK consortium (soil application) led to a greater system net realization in the maize–sesame sequence.
