| | Shifting cultivation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Shifting cultivation is a form of agriculture in which the cultivated or cropped area is shifted regularly to allow soil properties to recover under conditions of natural successional stages of re-growth. | | | Eventually a previously cultivated field will be cleared of the natural vegetation and planted in crops again. | | | In a stable shifting cultivation system, the fallow is long enough for the natural vegetation to recover to the state that it was in before it was cleared, and for the soil to recover to the condition it was in before cropping began. |

| | Choosing cultivation for dry soils |
| | Assuming the cultivator is operating at a depth of 2 to 3 inches, by the typical time of row cultivation the crop would have a fairly good root system established (usually around 4 to 6 inches) and thus is not very dependent on soil moisture in the first few inches of soil. | | | Cultivating when soil is dry increases soil moisture loss from the surface layer, or the cultivation depth (the top 2 inches of soil or so). | | | Although a single cultivation cannot provide adequate weed control by itself, the use of row cultivation can reduce weed control costs and shifts in weed populations when used to supplement herbicides. |

| | Cultivation - Encyclopedia.WorldSearch |
| | Tillage (American English), or cultivation (UK) is the agricultural preparation of the soil to receive seeds. | | | Tillage is an operation whereby the soil is either cleared from noxious weeds, or prepared for receiving the seeds of plants cultivated by the husbandman. | | | Primary tillage loosens the soil and mixes in fertilizer and/or plant material, resulting in soil with a rough texture. |

| | Cultivation may be used in crusted soils to increase soil aeration and infiltration of water; it may also be used to move soil to or away from plants as desired. | | | Cultivation among crop plants is best kept at a minimum; excessive cultivation can be harmful as it may cause root pruning and loss of soil water due to increased evaporation. | | | Prospects of jute cultivation bleak in 10 districts, THE INDEPENDENT |

| | Choosing cultivation in a conservation plan |
| | Cultivating corn or soybeans requires favorable soil conditions--soil that is dry enough to till and shatter large aggregates. | | | There are also disadvantages of cultivation, including the potential for increasing soil erosion as a result of burying crop residue and loosening the soil. | | | Cultivating also aerates the soil, closes any cracks that may have formed as the soil's surface dried, and reduces puddling and runoff from subsequent rainfall. |

| | Weed of cultivation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | A weed of cultivation is any plant that is well-adapted to environments in which land is cultivated for growing some other plant. | | | They are invariably annual and reproduction is by seed alone which can in many species lay dormant for years in the soil until brought to the surface during cultivation. | | | They have fast reproduction cycles, usually in one year from seed to seed, though some species can have more than one generation in one season. |

| | Cultivation Theory |
| | The difference in the pattern of responses between light and heavy viewers (when other variables are controlled), is referred to as the 'cultivation differential', reflecting the extent to which an attitude seems to be shaped by watching television. | | | Also, different genres - and even different programmes - contribute to the shaping of different realities, but cultivation analysis assumes too much homogeneity in television programmes (though some commentators would argue that there is increasing homogeneity in television programmes which may make the cultivation case stronger). | | | Crime on television is largely urban, so urban heavy viewers are subject to a double dose, and cultivation theorists argue that violent content 'resonates' more for them. |

| | Cultivation may be classified into two aspects; the phenomenal aspect of cultivation such as sutra-reading, ceremonial worship etc. And so forth refers to visible outward cultivation, and the mental aspect of cultivation is subtle intangible inward cultivation such as self-introspection and looking into the mind. | | | Hence, the more cultivation, the more manifestation of the True Nature and the more benefits of the cultivation. | | | It is only by cultivating more and more that one may advance nearer and nearer toward the goal of Enlightenment. |

| | ReliefWeb » Document Preview » UNDOC announces major reduction in 2005 opium poppy cultivation in ... |
| | The decline in cultivation was uneven across the 34 provinces of Afghanistan, thus an indication that Provincial Governors were not all equally committed to the cause of drug control, in some cases actually being part of the problem. | | | Costa attributed this to the success of the Government of Afghanistan at persuading farmers to voluntarily refrain from poppy cultivation; to farmers’ apprehension that the official ban on opium cultivation could be enforced via eradication; and to current market conditions in Afghanistan -- farm-gate prices for raw opium remain relatively low, offering farmers less incentive. | | | According to the report, opium cultivation in Afghanistan has decreased by 21 per cent, down from 131,000 hectares (ha) in 2004 to 103,000 ha in 2005. |
