English term or phrase: Cultivation
¿ Os suena bien su traducción como cultivación?

Yo lo traduciria como "cultivo" pero por ejemplo en el caso que os expongo al estar la palabra "crop" que es cultivo ,me hace pensar el usar mejor cultivación, aunque sigue sonándome rarísimo.

This first direction is the direction in which the crop will move during cultivation.

neutral  abe(L)solano: creo que labranza (o laboreo) es "tillage". no es técnicamente lo mismo que "cultivation" Saludos

  -> Un consejo: si no estás seguro, antes de opinar nunca está de más comprobarlo. Por ejemplo, en IATE. No sé, la peña lleva decenios traduciendo textos del sector agrícola. Pero si prefieres opinar sin documentarte, tampoco es delito.

agree  abe(L)solano: "durante su crecimiento/desarrollo". Sí, perfecto en la frase que dio de ejemplo

agree  O G V: con tan pocos mimbres, lo único que parece tener sentido sería algo como: "la dirección en la que crecerá/se desarrollará la cosecha" y si acaso añadir "durante el cultivo".

cultivation
cosecha


Explanation:
In the absence of meaningful context, I suggest it might refer to the movement of crop plants when approached/attacked by a mechanical harvester (and perhaps how that movement affects the design of the machine).

cultivation
preparación terrenal para el crecimiento de cultivos


Explanation:
La cultivación es un proceso de la agricultura, en el que primero se prepara el suelo al usar un arado para hacerlo adecuado para la siembra de las semillas de los cultivos. Si hay malas hierbas en el suelo se quitan para ayudar el crecimiento de los cultivos.

EN:
Cultivation is an agricultural process in which, firstly, the soil is prepared with a plow to make it be suitable for planting crop seeds. If there are any weeds they should be removed to help promote growth of healthy crops and plants.

neutral  abe(L)solano: No. Crops (plants) develop "during cultivation" as the text indicates. Same problem as with Merab's answer
