A few questions[edit]

What is "marfa" (other than a proper name and a musical instrument)? Googling it doesn't produce any results, although some sites seem to indicate it may be a type of cucumber (while others that list marfa and cucumbers as crops raised through jhum methods suggest otherwise). Nor does it show up in Bengali dictionaries or in Google translate.

One of the sources on which the article relies most heavily, the Banglapedia article on Jhum, offers different numbers in different paragraphs for the traditional or prevailing length that the land would be allowed to remain fallow and the current practices. Will an agronomist with expertise in slash-and-burn practices in this part of the world please resolve this?Zeno Cosini~enwiki (talk) 03:29, 27 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
