Note: A similar question was also asked in CUET (UG) 2025 on 22-05-2025 (Slot 1).
NCERT (2026-27): “Land Use Categories … (vi) Culturable Wasteland : Any land which is left fallow (uncultivated) for more than five years is included in this category. It can be brought under cultivation after improving it through reclamation practices.” “(vii) 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.” “(viii) 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.” “(ix) Net Area Sown: The physical extent of land on which crops are sown and harvested is known as net sown area.” |
