Basically, what percentage of the land lay fallow, or was not being cultivated. About halfway through the low middle ages, they changed from a two field system to a three field system. This improved gains by sixteen percent, allowing a increase in population.
The Norfolk system, was a new system in which four crops were rotated instead of three. This system also removed the fallow field and replaced it with turnips and clover. These made excellent winter cattle feed as well as enriched the soil with nitrogen which was found to exist on the tips of their roots. When the plant was removed, the root tips and nitrogen was left behind. This system greatly increased profits as it removed and enriched the fallow field.
Manors were owned by Lords in English or Seigneurs in French and it was a segment of the feudal system that existed in Central and Western Europe during the middle ages
Most knights were lords of manors. The manorial system was designed to provide for knights without having to pay them money. They got manors from the king, and owed the king support in return. As lords of manors, they often spent time managing or improving their holdings. They had professional support from stewards and reeves to do this, but some knights were quite personally involved in their manors. Since they had manors, they were able to hunt, have guests, and so on. They also visited their friends, when on pilgrimage, or traveled for other reasons.

Definitely not an immigration question, but fallow fields are those that are left dormant between planting seasons in order to allow the soil to regenerate its mineral base. In general terms fallow means a field where nothing in growing.
A field that is not being cultivated is said to be fallow. At one time it was a standard practice to only plant for 3 years, and let a field lay fallow for the 4th year to recover.
The three field system replaced the older two field system. In the older system, half the fields were cultivated to raise a crop, and the other half were fallow. In the three field system, a third of the fields were planted with one crop in the spring, a third were planted with a different crop in the fall, and a third were fallow. Clearly, the three field system meant that the area under cultivation was increased from half the fields to two thirds of the fields. Also, the three field system implied a more diversified set of crops were being planted, and this contribute to the health of the people on the manors.
Crop rotation refers to the practice of seeding fields with different crops each year and allowing the field to sometime lie fallow.
