2. fencing off the part of a farm where farm animals graze
3. breeding chosen animals to produce animals with desirable qualities
4. raising different animals in different parts of the same field
5. moving cattle from one part of a field to another each season
6. using a mechanical device to transplant sprouted seeds to a less fertile part of a farm
7. using a mechanical device to plant seeds evenly and at a fixed soil depth
Practice of Agriculture:
1. Four-field rotation
2. Farm enclosure
3. Use of seed drills
4. Selective Livestock breeding
Answer:
1. Four-field rotation : planting wheat, turnips, barley, and clover in successive years on the same plot of land
2. Farm enclosure : onverting common farmland into private property by an act of law
3. Use of seed drills: using a mechanical device to plant seeds evenly and at a fixed soil depth
4. Selective livestock breeding - breeding chosen animals to produce animals with desirable qualities.
Explanation:
1. Four-field rotation : this is an agricultural practice, where four different types of crops are planted on the same farm land in succession. It is a form of crops rotation.
Hence, the best description is " wheat, turnips, barley, and clover in successive years on the same plot of land."
2. Farm enclosure : this is a form of creating demarcations on farm land, where by the owner, turn common farmland into private farmland or use. This can be acquired through buying of common rights to get the exclusive rights of use, or by passing forcing enclosure such as Inclosure Act.
Hence, the best answer is: Converting common farmland into private property by an act of law
3. Use of seed drills: Seed drills is a mechanical device that sows seeds for crops by planting them at well distributed rate and bury them into the soil at a specific depth.
Hence, the correct answer is: using a mechanical device to plant seeds evenly and at a fixed soil depth
4. Selective Livestock breeding: this is a process of chosing different animals, that is, male from and female that are not entirely of the same species to mate, so as to produce a particular offspring of a special phenotypical traits. It can be inbreeding, line breeding and out crossing.
Hence, the right answer is: breeding chosen animals to produce animals with desirable qualities
