Abstract: Burning of crop residue leads to adverse impacts on soil health, loss of organic carbon causes global warming. The major use of crop residues in India and other countries are as forage, cooking purpose, composting and use as energy source. The burning of crop residue is a major problem in all over world, the best practices for effective management of crop residues are cutting, chopping and incorporation of crop residue. Many researchers were found that incorporation of crop residue into agriculture field would add soil nutrients and increases the crop productivity per unit area of land. In this paper we have discussed regarding machinery used for residue management and their performance for different crops. So based on the overviews of past researchers there is a need of Residue Management Machines for their effective management in a single pass.
