Abstract

Global attempts to mitigate climate change are seriously concerned about the open field burning of agricultural residue. In India, agricultural residue production exceeds 650 million tonnes annually. Remote sensing and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) offer effective means for identifying stubble-burning areas both at regional and global scales. The goal of the burn area mapping is to identify and define the burn marks by utilizing their spectral signature. Data from remote sensing can detect and evaluate the black coloring of the area that results from burning crop residue. While numerous scientists have made valuable contributions to mapping rice stubble burning, there has been comparatively less focus on addressing the pollutant emissions resulting from the combustion of rice bran, particularly in the regions of Haryana and Punjab. This paper intends to map burned areas using Sentinel-2 time series data at the district level, review the environmental effects of crop residue burning on farms, and management practices for crop residues.
