Fallow Crops

    0.01 sec.
Fallow Crops 

plants sown in the fallow field of a crop rotation. The crops occupy the field during the first half of the summer. Fallow crops include mixtures of vetch or peas with oats, clover, sainfoin, potatoes, corn (early varieties), lupine, serradella, and other herbaceous plants used as green manure. After the crops are harvested, the soil is tilled.
