Abstract

This research is based on a critical analysis of the agronomic and environmental effects that the rice straw has on the agro-industrial grains company in South Jibaro, located in the province of Sancti Spiritus, Cuba. The methodology employed was a literature review on the management of rice straw in the world and particularly in Cuba, in order to determine the agricultural and environmental affectations to the agro-ecosystems.  Besides, a diagnostic was made of the amount of straw produced in such entity during 2008-2013, as well as their main destinations and an evaluation of the feasibility of using the straw in bio-digesters for power generation.
