In shifting cultivation, parts of forest are cut and burn in rotation.

Seeds are down I'm the ashes after the first monsoon rrais and the crop is harvested by October-November.

Plots are cultivated for a couple of years and then left fallow from 12 to 18 years for the forest to. grow back.

A mixture of crops are grown on same plots.
