An Overview on Paddy Crop Residue Decomposition: A Biochemical Analysis of the Process

Abstract

The most common crop in India is rice, which is grown on 43 million plantedhectares and produces 746 million tones of grain annually. Due to the fact thatstraw accounts for 50% of the dry weight of the rice plant, a tremendousamount of straw is produced as a byproduct of rice farming each year. Weproduce 65% of our biomass on land, according to estimates. Lignin is the mostprevalent natural polymer of that biomass after cellulose and a significantrenewable supply of aromatic carbon on earth. Since lignin, cellulose, andhemicelluloses make up the structural elements of higher land plant vasculartissues, the biodegradation of these elements is a crucial step in the recycling ofterrestrial biosynthetic carbon. This study focus on biochemical analysis ofdecomposition of paddy straw and find out different fungi present in soil afterdecomposition
