After the cultivation when the soil fertility decreases then burns the patch of farming land and shifts to another patch of land for cultivating. This burning will produce the ash in the land itself which will be used by the land as manure and this ash helps the land to replenish the soil fertility. This is the natural way of replenishing the soil fertility of land without using the chemical fertilizers. After restoring the fertility of the land the farmer will again start to cultivate in the same patch of land.
