fertilized
Enriched for growth
Fertilized describes something that has been made capable of growth or reproduction.
An egg becomes fertilized when sperm unites with it, beginning the development of an embryo: a fertilized egg.
Soil or plants are fertilized when nutrients are added to promote growth: freshly fertilized lawn.
The past tense of fertilize works the same way: We fertilized the garden last week.
