The difference between a field and a meadow.

One of them is planted with wheat, the other with legumes, the third is under fallow - resting and gaining strength. Each year there is a change in the purpose of the plots.

Vegetables and grains, root crops and oilseeds are planted in the field. The term "arable land" is a synonym for the word field.

  1. The origin of the meadow is 98% natural, and the fields are the result of the work of human hands.
  2. Fields cover 37% of all agricultural land in the world, and meadows only 11%.
  3. Meadows are formed under conditions of increased moisture on poor soils. Fields are formed in areas where there is 350 and more millimeters of precipitation. Their shortage or excess is regulated by a system of irrigation and drainage canals. Fields require fertile, humus-rich soils.
  4. One plant species is traditionally planted on one site of the field. In the meadow, you can find up to 40 species of plants - cereals and herbaceous.
