D

Correct Answer
Current Fallow
Detailed Explanation
- Current Fallow: This is the land which is left without cultivation for one or less than one agricultural year.
- Fallowing is a cultural practice adopted for giving the land rest. The land recoups the lost fertility through natural processes.
- Current fallow is a practice used to rejuvenate the land and maintain its long-term productivity. It allows the soil to recover from the impact of cultivation, which can be especially beneficial in intensive farming systems.
- Current fallow is often part of crop rotation practices. Crop rotation involves growing different crops in the same field in successive seasons. The land may be temporarily left fallow to break the cycle of pests and diseases that affect a specific crop.
- By allowing the land to remain fallow for a season, it can recover, and the soil health can improve.
