unculture

Never was there any sterility, whereof there may not be a cause given. Either the season is unkindly parching with drought, or drenching with wet, or nipping with frost, or blasting with pernicious airs, or rotting with mildews: […] or some natural fault in the soil; or misdemeanour of the owners; idleness, ill-husbandry, in mistiming, neglect of meet helps, unculture, ill choice of seed: but, whatever be the second cause, we are sure who is the first; He turneth.
