What technological innovation in agriculture during the eleventh century replaced the two-field system and improved crop yields?

Accepted Answer

The three-field crop rotation system was introduced in the eleventh century. Instead of leaving half the land fallow every year, only one-third was left fallow, one-third was planted with autumn crops like wheat and rye, and one-third with spring crops like peas and barley.
