three-field is

The three-field – a rotation of two crops and a pair of in time and territory or just in time. For example, may be replaced by pairs, wheat and potato crops.

On the territory of Russia since the time of feudalism the three-field system – system of crop rotation which usually consisted of a plowed but unseeded fields of winter crops (wheat) and spring cereals (oats or millet). In other words, this technology had only the direction of the grain (mainly bread and cereals).

The History

advantages and disadvantages of the three -

In the period of antiquity because of the rather simple principle in many countries was dominated by the two-field system of cultivation. As a rule, people divided unplowed field into two parts. The first seeded crops, and the other part was left as a vapor. A year later everything was done Vice versa. Plowed and seeded second part, and the first left untouched.

Only in the XI-XIII century the two-field system was recognized uneconomical. And then there was a new rotation. In those days, the three-field – it was something like a modification, an improved variant of the familiar two-field system, which is recognized in many countries, including in Europe.

The Weaknesses

Handling large fields is using the same agricultural machinery when the two-field system.

In comparison, for example, a multiple-treholta is economically unprofitable, as the annual number of grown crops is small.

Part of the crop can be maintained even in times of natural disaster as various types of crops need sowing at different times of the year.

Based on the previous advantages of work are distributed for the whole year, not just at a set time.

Due to the increase of arable land to grow various crops and even change the range from year to year.

Compared To the two-field system three-field – this is what gave people the annual growth of crops. This is justified by the fact that the field is already divided not in half, into three parts, two of which are fully seeded plants.
