cultivation


Explanation:
"oppaling" is, to my knowledge, the sowing and pre-growing of plants. Although cultivation can denote the work you do with the soil around the plants themselves, I think "cultivation" could be used for "oppaling", the actual growing and caring of the plants too.

See for example 3. in the link below, from reference.com

agree  Michele Fauble: The context makes it clear that it is the propagation of plants from seed (or cuttings) and their cultivation until they are ready to be planted in the ground.
