Culturable wastelands
Explanation:
Culturable wastelands include the lands which have the potential for the development of vegetative cover but are not being currently used due to various constraints. The development of such culturable wastelands will depend on various factors like depth of soil, soil quality, climate, present land-use, ownership pattern, tenurial system, etc. These land used to be cultivated earlier but are currently devoid of agriculture. The reasons could be because of some damage to the land like water-logging or gullied land. Or it could be left barren because of cyclical use of land in the adjoining region. So reclamation of such wasteland requires little effort and it can be brought under cultivation soon if required.
