✒A fallow land is a land which is left for a certain period of time , that is no cultivation is done for a year or more. This is done for the recovery of Fertility of soil. The nutrients are recovered so that it can be used for next crop. Otherwise the land will turn barren if continous farming is done in a field.

Many agricultural methods like jhum cultivation/ shifting cultivation is associated with this, In these methods, the plants in the land is first burnt and then it is left for 10- 15 years, so that minerals of the burnt palnt can be used furyher for other plants. For this is now not in use, because burning causes pollution and in a such a populated country, it is not possible to leave a fallow land for such a long time.
