2 articles

Agricultural waste refers to the non-food plant residues generated during crop production, including stems, branches, and leaves that make up roughly 80% of most harvested plants. Understanding and managing these residues is central to plant science research, as they influence soil health, nutrient cycling, and microbial communities that affect subsequent crop growth. Finding ways to valorize or decompose these materials efficiently has become a key focus for improving sustainable agricultural systems.
