The process of planting crops or vegetation again, or planting that occurs after an initial planting in the same season.
Compound of 'after' and 'planting' (Old English plantian, from Latin plantare). Agricultural communities developed this term to describe replanting strategies.
Afterplanting was essential in pre-industrial agriculture because frost, pests, or poor germination could destroy a whole crop, so farmers would plant in stages to guarantee at least one successful harvest.
