Fallowing is a practice of leaving land unseeded for a long time so that the soil regains its fertility which will enable the growing of crops. It also consists of a series of ploughings and its continued until the land is cleaned ,which favors crops to be cultivated. And primary cultivation involves breaking top layer then the second phase is to clean up the garden for crops to be cultivated. Fallowing is basically practiced to improve on soil fertility so that productivity is high.
Purpose of the Technology: The technology helps the soil to increase nutrients which will later be beneficial to crops.
Its used to increase on its productivity and this implies that the income will positively change .
Also for fertility purposes which will allow good growth of crops.
Establishment / maintenance activities and inputs: Inputs: hoes, pangas, forked hoes and a spade for collecting soil from trenches around the fallowed place. These trenches help to trap water for future use in the garden.
Establishment: The nature of the soil to be fallowed first ploughing is in dry season. This is done around April.
Maintenance: This is maintained by forming weeds into compost for manure.
The vegetation is checked until the process of ploughing is done on the cultivated land and is repeated after harvest , then fallow is practiced depending on crops to be planted in the next season. Through efficient weeding during their growth is maintained.
Natural / human environment: Natural environment: the area is on a hill slope toward foot slope of hills and experiences annual rainfall of about 1000-1500mm.Its soil texture is loam/medium and shallow, this implies that soil drainage infiltration is good and water storage is high which indicates that soil fertility is good.
Human environment: land ownership is individual , but the land user does not have a land tittle, water use rights is communal and organized though people do not follow rules. Production is based on subsistence and surplus is for commercial.

Increased yields.
الكمية قبل الإدارة المستدامة للأراضي: 100kg
الكمية بعد الإدارة المستدامة للأراضي: 400kg
increased productivity.
due to increased productivity & sales.
fallowing reduced soil erosion thru trench/grass strips
There is increased production when you compare the past and the present.
harvest improved, water run off reduced.
