[QUOTE="infiniteConciously, post: 7871039, member: 116882"] Thanks really informative, This is great, soo im learning that stubble pyro* has its place - I wonder a few things about the differences in benefits/cons from using a small blow torch, laser(s) and burning at different temperatures whilst compared to a natural burning process. (*my new fav term in farming tbh). Then I guess we could think about the use of pesticide on a monocrop farm and what chemicals are left over on the soil/stubble after harvest and what is the result of setting these chemicals on fire (plus impact to pollution). From the video below I've learn that natural fires caused by lightening can be great and help create rainfall.... but in that case a much wider variety of plants/trees are charring... during the process. The other interesting element would be how fires are started/controlled/maintained. And what if any plastics/litter are burnt in the process also. I'll try to document some of the process for next harvest. I'll ask some questions out there prior to that. Thanks for the info, really appreciate the insight guys. [MEDIA=youtube]AGCH1GR7pPU[/MEDIA] Can I ask when you guys when you were over there? prior to 1990 by any chance????? Im planning to spend some time in SE Asia (as well as India) working on my Kickboxing/Muay Thai... I'll try to visit some old school farmers and ask the same nosey questions in SE Asia!!! Just curious, I know for a fact that this didn't use to happen on my peoples indigenous farms, before the use of tractors. The first tractor we purchased was in the 1990s. The method of harvesting using a tractor left stubble, everything else prior to this was done by hand and animals feed. On one trip I recall my parents being surprised about why soo much burning was taking place - and they grew up on the farms. I can't remember exactly when or what year tho. I imagine the more people that have been able to purchase tractors and farm less by hand... is triggering this cycle. Anyway, I look forward to investigating further.... Pink panther out. Have a good weekend all. [/QUOTE]
