refertilized

Fed nutrients again

Refertilized means fertilized again.

Soil that has been depleted of nutrients may be refertilized with compost or chemical additives: The fields were refertilized after the harvest.

In reproductive contexts, refertilized can describe eggs or organisms that undergo a second fertilization event, though this is rare in natural settings.
