English translation:plough back the stubble
Explanation:
I agree with Miguel and think it should be fanguear instead of fangear, although both can be found on the internet. I would suggest to translate it as "plow back the stubble".

Notes to answerer
Asker: Pero no existe "fanguear" en mi diccionario tampoco.

Asker: De acuerdo con sus hallazgos, quiere Ud. sugerir "puddling", de la referencia que citó, antes de que alguién más lo sugiera?

winter flood incorporation


Explanation:
Check out the article in my reference. I also found "fangueo" used as is in an English version of a Latin American rice production website. Winter flood incorporation seems to fit your context, straw incorporation being a broader, more inclusive term.

tillage


Explanation:
General term for the operation of implements (here, a plough) through the soil to prepare and aerate it. As claudia says, they plough the stubble (rastrojos) back into the soil. This term would work for me in this context.

Unfortunately, this practice (instead of burning the rice stubble) has caused pollution problems in the Albufera (Valencia Spain) due to seepage of broken down chemical components. The regional govt was supposed to fund a recycing compost plant but hasn't, so the excess tillage of rice stubble is causing fish death on a grand scale...
