Correct choices: closing off land, crop rotation, mechanical planting machines, and fertilizers.
Why:
- Closing off land (enclosure) consolidated open fields and commons into larger, more efficient farms, enabling investment and improved management.
- Crop rotation (e.g., the Norfolk four‑course) kept soil productive and increased yields by alternating cereals and restorative crops.
- Mechanical planting machines (notably Jethro Tull’s seed drill) improved seed placement and germination, raising productivity.
- Fertilizers (manure, lime, later chemical inputs) restored soil fertility and boosted crop yields.
“Farming corporations” was not a major driver of the English agricultural revolution, and “soil conservation practices” as a modern concept wasn’t a primary listed factor compared with the four above.
