Usage notes
- Use coltura mainly in agriculture or lab contexts. For human society, use cultura, not coltura.
- In farming, coltivazione is often more general for the activity; coltura often names the crop or cultivation type.
- Common in technical or formal language: agronomy, medicine, biology. Less common in everyday casual speech outside those fields.
