“Cultivation” in Japanese is 栽培 (saibai).

Refers to raising plants through planned human care rather than leaving them to grow on their own.

農家は新しい品種の栽培に取り組んでいます。nō ka wa atara shi i hin shu no sai bai ni to ri ku n de i ma su

The farmers are working on cultivating a new variety.

Unlike English cultivation, which can also describe developing skills or manners, 栽培 (saibai) normally concerns plants and crops.
