Answer 1

Answer:

the type of agricultural practice in which the whole land is burnt out to clear the land for growing crops is called shifting agriculture.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Agriculture shifting is the method of agriculture in which farmers cut trees and clear the soil for cultivation. We even burn the uprooted trees and mix their ashes in the soil to fertilize the soil. They move on to another land after cultivation and harvesting and repeat the same process.

Crop rotation is the practice followed in agriculture shifting. It is the practice of growing in sequenced seasons a series of different or equivalent plant types in the same region. The soil of farms is not used for only one collection of nutrients. This leads to soil erosion reduction and increases soil fertility and crop yield
