Stubble Burning

Choose the Correct Answer

Correct Answer : Option b

Explanation
Statement 1 is not correct: Burning of stubble does not lead to the enrichment of Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Potassium, Sulphur, and organic carbon. In fact, it results in the loss of these nutrients, which are released into the atmosphere and contribute to air pollution.

Statement 2 is correct: Burning of stubble does release gases like Carbon Monoxide and Carbon Dioxide, which contribute to air pollution and environmental degradation.

Statement 3 is correct: Baler machines are one of the alternatives to stubble burning. They help in collecting and compressing crop residues, which can then be used for other purposes such as composting, bioenergy production, or as feed for livestock, thus reducing the need for burning.
