Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The three-field system involved dividing fields into three sections and rotating which section was left fallow (uncultivated) each year to allow the soil to recover. This allowed for more efficient use of the land and increased crop yields without the use of artificial fertilizers. The other choices (A, B, and D) were not typically part of the three-field system. Burning was sometimes used to clear land for cultivation, but was not a regular part of crop rotation. Horse pasture might have been part of the system, but it is not specified in the question, and it would not have been used in combination with crop rotation. Artificial fertilizer was not commonly used until much later in history.
