Cultivable means able to be grown or developed. It is especially applied to crops and land on which crops will be grown.

Cultivable is an adjective form of the verb cultivate. Cultivate can also be used in figurative contexts in which the thing being grown or developed is often an abstract thing, such as a business or a friendship. It’s possible for cultivable to be used in this way, but it is typically used in the context of agriculture.

A variant of cultivable is cultivatable.

Example: Often the goal of crossbreeding crops is to produce a variety that has all the best qualities and is widely cultivable.

The first records of the word cultivable come from the late 1600s. It ultimately grew out of the Medieval Latin word ���ܱ���ī����ٳܲ�, which derives from the Latin verb colere, meaning “to till,” “to toil over,” “to care for,” or “to worship.” Colere is also the basis of the words cult, culture, and agriculture, among many others.

Cultivating the land for crops often first involves tilling (or plowing) it. (A machine that does this is called a cultivator). It also involves planting seeds and then watering them and making sure they are growing properly. To be considered cultivable, the land must have soil that’s capable of supporting crops. For crops to be considered cultivable, they must be capable of growing in that particular environment. For example, many fruits are only cultivable in tropical regions and cannot be cultivated outside in colder climates.
