This word covers two quite different topics. In biology, it's the moment when a male cell and a female cell join together to start making a new living thing — the very first step of making a baby, in humans, animals, or plants. In farming and gardening, it means adding (special plant food) to soil so crops grow bigger and healthier.
(生物)受精；(農業)施肥
組成fertilize (to make fertile, or to join cells to start new life) + -ation (turns the verb into a noun for the process).
