Cultivation is the act of caring for or raising plants. Your desire to grow your own fruits and vegetables in the backyard means you’ll be engaged in some heavy cultivation. The word cultivation is most often used to talk about the ways that farmers take care of crops.
What are non cultivated plants?
Weeds are defined as non-cultivated plants that are not desired in crop fields since they compete with crop for nutrients, soil moisture, sunlight and space. Or more philosophically, as plants whose virtues have not yet been discovered (Zimdahl, 2007).
