Solution
| Similarities | Differences |
| In both methods, organic manures are used |
Bhaskarbhai uses plant waste to prepare manure. He makes manure by the process of composting. He also adds earthworms to hasten the process of composting. On the other hand, in the case of Jhoom farming, weeds are burnt in the field, and ashes are mixed with soil. The ash acts like manure. Bhaskarbhai ploughs the land before sowing the seeds. In Jhoom farming, furrows are made with sickles before sowing the seeds. |
