Noun

fallowing (plural fallowings)

  1. A period during which a field is left fallow.
    • 1860, Albrecht Daniel Thaer, The Principles of Practical Agriculture:
      The rotation of nine years with two fallowings, which was formerly so much in vogue, is now seldom or never to be met with; it was, however, productive of very fine crops of corn on tenacious soils which require a great deal of tillage.
