Answer:

In this system, a patch of forest land is cleared by cutting trees, shrubs, bushes. During May and June, the entire field is set on fire, allowing the dried trees, shrubs and bushes to burn and the land is ploughed immediately after the first shower. It is believed that doing so improves the soil quality.

ANSWER

Jhum cultivation also called slash and burn agriculture is a form of crop-growing farming activity.

Crops are grown in this cultivation by clearing the trees and other vegetation and then burning the fields. Land burning allows the addition of potash to the soil, which in effect increases soil fertility and nutrient content.

In the North-East states, agriculture is primarily based on Jhum cultivation.
