Question:

Which is NOT correct in respect of fallow land?

Options:

Land which is left without cultivation for one or less than one agricultural year is called current fallow land.

A cultivable land which is left uncultivated for more than a year but less than five years is called fallow other than Current.

Fallow means cultivated

None of the above

Correct Answer:

Fallow means cultivated

Explanation:

The correct answer is option 3: Fallow means cultivated

Option 3: Fallow means cultivated: This statement is incorrect because fallow land means land left uncultivated for a period of time to restore its fertility.

NCERT: Current Fallow: This is the land which is left without cultivation for one or less than one agricultural year.

Fallow other than Current Fallow : This is also a cultivable land which is left uncultivated for more than a year but less than five years. If the land is left uncultivated for more than five years, it would be categorised as culturable wasteland.
