Solution and Explanation

Current fallow land is the land kept uncultivated for one cropping season to help restore soil fertility. Farmers leave the land idle so nutrients can rebuild, moisture can accumulate, and the soil structure improves. This practice also reduces pests and diseases caused by continuous cropping. It is widely used in rain-fed agricultural regions where soil becomes exhausted quickly. Current fallow is different from long fallow, which remains unused for over a year.
