Explanation of Article 447

The article establishes the tenant's right to cultivate the land for agriculture throughout all seasons of the year, in the event that the type and kind of crops are not specified in the contract, even if it harms the land. The article implies that if the contract specifies a certain type or types of crops that are only planted in specific seasons of the year, this indicates the contracting parties' intention for cultivation to occur in those seasons only; therefore, the tenant is not permitted to plant other types in other seasons of the year.
