Question

Previously asked problems:

What is fallow land? Give two examples showing how it can be converted into cultivable land.

Answer 1

Fallow land is a piece of land that is normally used for farming but that is left with no crops on it for a season in order to let it recover its fertility.

A fallow land can be converted immediately into a fertile area by

(i) the addition of abundant fertilisers and

(ii) also through the arrangement of proper irrigation for that piece of land.
