All the following are advantages of the bush fallowing system in West Africa except that it

  1. allows land to regain its fertility during fallow
  2. is very economical in the use of land ✓
  3. reduces the need for the use of artificial fertilizers
  4. could lead to soil erosion
Explanation

Bush fallowing requires leaving large areas of land unused for years. This wastes land that could be farmed.

The resting period helps soil regain nutrients naturally. But needing extra land makes this system inefficient.

Modern fertilizers allow continuous farming without needing fallow periods.
