Detailed Solution

The above statement is False.
Jhum cultivators toss the seeds across the field.
Instead of planting seeds, seeds are cast or tossed across the field. For farming, the earth is scratched with a hoe, and trees are cut with an axe. Agricultural land is cleared by burning vegetation. The tree tops are to be removed by cultivators so that sunlight can reach the ground. Burnt vegetation releases potash-containing ash that fertilises the soil. After the crop is harvested, they move to another field. The field is left fallow for a while after it has been used for farming.
The correct statement would be jhum cultivators clear the land by burning and then tossing the seeds across the field.
